I wasn't in on the discussions, of course, and have posted previously that this is a leap into the unknown. I've got my fingers crossed that it'll work out for us. Maybe you're right and we're making a mistake. Only time will tell. IMO, it WAS a mistake admitting UAA to the WCHA, and it's taking the dissolution of a great conference to get UAA where it belongs, off our schedule and out of our league.
Wow, it's so fun to see true feelings come out. But your league? The WCHA was Minnesota's league, never DU's. If you really ran the WCHA you would've voted Miami in and kicked the rest of us out, keeping all that history and namebrand power. Instead you ran off like a dumb teenager chasing a Hollywood dream.
Perhaps we do have a holier than thou attitude. And perhaps it's related to our many national and conference titles. Perhaps when UAA wins a trophy for something other than "the Clean Plate Club," or selling magazine subscriptions, you'll experience the joys of being holier than thou. As to your little fan boy, he's yours, you keep him. As far as "stupid" is concerned, speak for yourself. I'm not stupid about anything. Ignorant? Of course.
Actually UAA will almost certainly never be holier than thou to anyone except UAF. You know why? Humility. Fortunes change in the sports world. You may be on top now but remember that you're team is one bad coaching change, one university regime change, or even one injury away from futility. I will always remember that, I hope one day you learn it too.
My experiences with other WCHA fans are generally quite good. Michigan Tech fans, though long suffering, are probably the class of the WCHA posters. But UAA fans (I'm talking about the ones who post here only) whine about officiating more than any other group, make excuses for poor performance, are inclined to conspiracy theories to account for their stinking up the league, and in one case, accused a DU player of being a liar because he didn't quite respond to an injury the way your poster thought he should have. Naturally the boy had to be lying. Occam's Razor would indicate it's far more likely your poster just didn't know sh*t from shinola.
So, out of curiousity, what experiences have had with WCHA. Obviously, by your own admission, your experiences with UAA fans involves only what you've read here, which, by the way, you have stated that anything said here not be taken seriously. So what real experiences do you have? Or are you basing fanbase reputation on USCHO postings? Yeah, it's well known we feel hard done by WCHA referees. Why? Because that's the way we feel and we have reasons to feel that way. Is that why we lose? No. We're still reeling from one really bad coaching choice and a coaching desertion, along with a University system that seeks to subjugate the school at every facet any chance it gets.
So make of that what you will.
I make it that you're idiot who bases his feelings towards a program and it's fans on a few USCHO postings discussing a single topic in a game thread and an arrogance based on a recent string of success. Good riddance to you sir. And just to you, there are a few, I will admit, in the DU fanbase I will miss.
we don't take abandonment well though
