Re: The new Super League is going down the tubes.
Sounds more like a dick move to guarantee the WCHA doesn't have any D1 representation. I'm sure Bbutzin will tell us he'd rather play BGSU than MTU, BSU, MSUM or UAA though so we got that going for us.Inviting BGSU to the NCHC makes them look like they are trying to do whats right for college hockey. Making sure the last CCHA team has a conference to go to. Such humanitarians!

I've been wondering what kind of drugs that fool is on, seriously, what ****s up a persons brain that much? Or maybe mom smoked crack when she was pregnant and he never had a chance.
Re: The new Super League is going down the tubes.
That's an example of you either not paying attention, listening to what others are saying or just not having actual knowledge of the situation. Most of us leftovers have been saying that it's a travesty what's being done to Huntsville and they should be in the conference. It's NOT a good fit for most of us from a travel perspective, but we need to have all the teams and fan bases that we can.
As for saving BSU, the WCHA was the ONLY reason that BSU didn't fold. They didn't have a conference and were not willing or able to continue pumping money into the hockey program. They (as well as any other public institution in MN couldn't) were out of the CHA and didn't have anywhere else to turn.
When talking about Moorhead, I will be very surprised if it ever gets off the ground. Yes, they are in N Minnesota where hockey is more prevalent than S. Minnesota, but they have attempted this kind of drive before and it hasn't worked. The school doesn't historically have a commitment to any sport let alone raising $37 million to start a new one.
We are looking for alternatives to this situation. Like it or not, this thing is happening. Opposed to MavsFan, I don't think Mankato is going to fold. I honestly believe that we have a huge opportunity to win and that will turn into revenue. Keep in mind, our expenses WILL be raising. Not might, will. We will be traveling further and traveling for longer periods of time. Mankato proved that they will support a winner and show up to games when the team is winning. It's happened each time that Kato had a good year....granted it was in the WCHA, so it's possible there will be a drop-off, but that's yet to be seen.
Lastly, the reason everyone is so angry with you is because of the tone of your comments. You come off as self-centered, arrogant, condescending, and patronizing. It's not that you're happy for your program. It's saying on one hand that you don't care if a team fold and then on the other hand saying you care and expecting no one to ever question you. It's patronizing and it's insulting to everyone's intelligence. If you don't care, don't care. Don't sit hear and try to tell us how this is such a good thing for everyone when this obviously makes things much more unstable and much more difficult for many of us. You don't know our situations yet sit and try to tell us that you do. You've proven that time and time again by making assumptions about the market, making assumptions about costs, making assumptions about dedication, and making assumptions about affiliations with other schools. It's insulting, patronizing and deserves to be met with criticism.

It survived! Changed its name and ended up having a great-grandson that goes by the name "The Situation"

This post is the pinnacle of your USCHO history my friend. You have well structured sentences; your points are clearly made and overall the analysis is pretty much spot on. I'm delighted that over the years you've evolved to make sense and express yourself clearly.

From things I've heard from Canadians it's a sports tier sort of thing. Gotta call and ask for it. Wish we could do that with TSN and CBC.

And to think, I used to think that Lindbergh was an asset to this country. Now.....pretty sure that he released Pandora's Box.

The latest twist reported by Bruce Ciskie is that the University of Buffalo is investigating starting D1 Hockey and is meeting with BGSU and the AHA-4.

Re: The new Super League is going down the tubes.
Rumors are great during the offseason. IMO, this offseason all the usual posters have decided to stick around this summer instead of going on summer vacation. It is almost like we never had an offseason.

After a long summer of wild speculation and off season conference shakeups the College Hockey season needs to start quickly...

Funding Penn State was just part of his plan to ensure that Buffalo has a conference. That tricky, tricky bastard.

Re: The new Super League is going down the tubes.
It's a possibility, I think. Their current building is <2000, but if he tosses them renovation money (gotta be much less than 88 million) and tells them they can play say, 4-6 home games at HSBC for their bigger name opponents, it'd be worth looking at.
