The New WCHA, 2014 Offseason: See-ya, Bruce

Re: The New WCHA, 2014 Offseason: See-ya, Bruce

While you guys were *****ing I put together a 12 year schedule between BIG teams and WCHA teams based on Donalds initial idea.

Each WCHA team gets 3 1for1 deals with a BIG team, except the Alaskas, which get a BIG team in their tourney every year.
In 12 years every BIG team will make it to an Alaska tourney (2 exempt games) 4 times, get 4 home non-conference games with WCHA teams, and travel to 4 WCHA barns.

Like I said before, I have no idea if anyone would agree to it, but I thought it would be interesting to see what a schedule like this would look like.

Basically, we'd be asking the BIG teams to travel to a WCHA barn once every 3 years, in exchange for return dates and the exempt Alaska games.

I would love to see this in detail (putting it somewhere else and linking probably works better). I fully expect that it makes too much sense to happen. :sigh:

Yes. Do that. Because this forum isn't a place where we engage ideas but instead it's a place where the messenger is more important than the message.

I don't suffer jerks gladly. Some of the time, you are right. On this, you are wrong, and you're acting like a jerk. It's validating why I have you on ignore. The only reason that I ran View Post was because I figured that you'd respond to me, and I wanted to read what you had to say and, if I thought that it would add anything, respond. This is that response.

Well you've certainly refuted the whole "messenger is more important than the message" part.


Perhaps you should consider staying off the internets.

I got painted red (I could care less) and not one signed negative. Don't want to start a ****ing contest with you or anyone over this....just sayin
And go ahead and paint red. About the most inane part of this site.

Edit: Pink Pony got painted red??? who cares...big deal....I'm supposed to discount what he/she says?
Get real!!!! And this is not pointed at anyone who discounts, but if you feel it's you send negative to me...sheeeesh

After reading your posts since UAH got into this league I made the incorrect assumption you were a little more tolerant of other points of view than what you are showing here.
Or maybe I just made the mistake of thinking you had a little thicker skin than what you are showing here.
I guess what I'm trying to say is why not just read what someone else has to say and move on.
I've posted what I thought were valid points and there were no responses to them.
Made me think "guess it wasn't so important as I thought".
Why the personal attacks?
Wanta talk some hockey????????????

This is just an example. The only requirement is that each WCHA team has 3 1-for-1's with a BIG team (could be 3 with the same team or all with different teams), and each BIG team has 4 1-for-1's with WCHA teams.

That's a cool concept. One tweak is that they should probably front load the Michigan home games and save the road trips to the UP for after Red retires.

And if the MN schools want to keep the same agreement with the Northstar cup, that can be worked in too. Keep that the same, in exchange for the 4 games between Mankato and MN, and the 4 games between Bemidji and MN. Then MN would only add the exemption games, and MSU-M and BSU would each get an additional 1 for 1 with another BIG school, maybe Wisconsin.

edit: I have cleaned up the document a bit and included some more notes, and also a list of possible best scenario 1for1 deal partners.

Where are you Squarebanks?
I kinda thought you would be one of the first to point out that BigBlue's plan to increase game attendance is predicated on "The Alaska Exemption". There have been a couple of posters on this thread suggesting the Alaska schools are irrelevant and darned lucky to be let into "their" league.
Guess I'll take the red paint for you.

Edit: And Big Blue, it's a good plan. Thanks for the effort!

I seem to remember reading that Alvarez said he couldn't see any reason to ever schedule Mankato again.
