Re: UMaine, 2011-2012 season thread, does anyone care anymore?
yep. really, all he needed to, and should have said, was "I understand their frustration, I wish our record was better too. But we're working hard every day to improve, and the results will come if we keep working to eliminate mistakes and fine tune the systems". It's complete bullcrap of course, but that was all he needed to say. But instead he chose that opportunity to lash back at his detractors, in essence calling them not real fans, because to attack Tim Whitehead is to attack Maine hockey, for they are one and the same. .

You could be right in lost of Season Ticket Holders & game to game ticket buyers...that is IF TW remains...bring in someone New and the Season Ticket sales will increase along with a few that are staying away will come back,keeping TW will only empty the Building.

quite possibly the best post on here EVER.
I would not be surprised if FINALLY Forsyth-Pro1Disp-Priceless-93Champs is actually contributing the way I knew he (you?) could

perhaps I will send them a picture of the stuff I bought with the money that they WOULD HAVE HAD, had Timmy been shown the door.
everyone do the same... show them what you bought with the money you WOULD HAVE sent to UMaine

On a different note...BU Hockey took a real HIT this week with Corey Trivino (kicked off the team) and with Charlie Coyle jumping ship to join Saint John's of the QMJHL....that has to hurt BU going into the New Year...they'll still be a tough team but they will miss these two players.

Wowser! Hadn't heard about Coyle. Those are arguably their two best players. That will definitely hurt them, even given the depth they have.

If they lose half their team, Timmay would figure out a way to lose to themPick up your cyring towels you wimpy Maine fans and head over to the BU thread and take some free cheapshots at the derrieres.

Re: UMaine, 2011-2012 season thread, does anyone care anymore?
...And it should be.
Let's not kid ourselves: Maine hockey is in business to win games and to make money, just as are hundreds of various NCAA programs out there that help pay the bills for the money-losing programs of their respective universities. It's a bottom-line deal.
Having said that, it certainly follows that TW is no longer a productive employee, and ought to be dismissed as soon as it's financially feasible to do so. Simple as that.
Tim has been paid, what, $1.5 million over his tenure..? Time for Maine to cut its losses.

as much as I cannot stand Satan Jack Parker... one of TWO things i respect him for is his integrity with academics (minimal academics, perhaps, but stiff standards, nonetheless)...
I know of at least 4 current coaches in HE who beg and plead and connive in order to keep COMPLETE illiterates and near illiterates on the team, but not Parker... if a kid cannot cut it, good bye!
and YES, I am unfairly assuming that Coyle's grades were not going to cut it... but at this time of year, a defection is usually just that... academic...
even if it's not the case... here is my present to Satan.... congrats, Jack... I know you run a clean program with academic standards.... (AND so does BU as a university, by not allowing the jocks to take junior high level classes and earn all academic all star honors like SOME Hockey East schools)

Re: UMaine, 2011-2012 season thread, does anyone care anymore?
Is this the reason he never gets any heat? It really amazes me that BU fans aren't more upset with him. He's had one good team in the last dozen years. It seems like a bunch of years they have had something like what has gone on this year happen where during the middle of the season a few of their best players get kicked off the team/leave.

Wasn't Bourque there 2 semesters and never got a credit, either failed or incompletes?
Re: UMaine, 2011-2012 season thread, does anyone care anymore?
oh, man!!! are you telling me that I have to recant on one of the TWO honorable things I THOUGHT I knew about Parker?
yeah... Bourque was there 2 semesters... I had "remembered" that he left mid year.. but he was there after january.
and, as far as nearly illiterate hockey players go...
let's just say, Parker did not keep him around, like Jerry does. (and Tim did while he was at lowell)
