Not bad for a team that was picked for 9th in the league. So far 13 wins and counting better than last year.
I watched Norm Bazin's initial press conference when he was hired over the weekend and he said success would be slow but it was going to happen. Never in anyone's imagination that it would be so soon that they would have the best record in college hockey in the 1st week of February.

To be fair, Riot Construction is a 1 credit elective course at UMass-Carfire.

Comment of the year by "ChangeUp106"

Jade I agree that the minority shouldn't reflect the whole, but the fact is it does. I'm a current UMass student and embarrassed by this display tonight. Everyone was planning it all week and were just waiting to explode. While not everyone on campus joined in, a vast majority support this kind of action. Sit in the student section at a hockey game and you'll get a sense of what people here are like. It's not pretty. But I love UMass and will continue to do what I can to show people the positives (and there are many) of UMass. Just a terrible display tonight fellow students.

Kid, if you're ever looking to transfer to a higher quality institution, the hockey jersey is on me.

Just curious....now that we own the Tsongas, what are the chances that we'll seek a bid to host a regional?

DCU holds 15,000, Webster Bank Arena hold 10,000, and the Verizon Wireless in Mancehster holds just under 10,000. Too much money to lose for the NCAA to have one at the Tsongas. They could do a women's regional most likely if they do neutral sites for those.

Right, forgot about the seat count. Was just thinking that 'BU does it a lot' but forgot they don't do it at Agganis.

Different question. Anyone think they should rip out the green seats and install red ones? It would keep with the color scheme and, in my opinion, look sharp.

I think the idea is to make the seats that aren't filled not stick out. If red was empty then it would show much more than green.

I don't think empty seats have really been a problem this season. Plus, if you're going to go two-tone, the green clashes with everything else.

I'd also wonder if the institution bears any expenses as well. The athletic departments (IIRC) are responsible for making sure the event works and has to invest their staff into it.

A good example of that are the seats at the garden. You can't miss the empty seats with that gold color. I believe several years ago they actual replaced some of the gold ones with black so they would not stick out so much. After last season empty seats are not much of a problem for the Bruins.

Forward thinking... The building would have more energy if it were red.

We aren't some middling arena management company who is unsure about their clients.

Hey, "HGTV" is looking for new programming! How about "Arena Makeover", hosted by Color Splash's David Bromstad?


On a related note, where do I turn in my "Man Card"?:eek:
 
Re: UML 2011-2012 Thread: Part II

The best way, of course, to hide empty seats is to fill them. The Tsongas looks empty even when there's a pretty good crowd because so many ticketholders are hiding in function rooms or the concourse, etc.
 
Re: UML 2011-2012 Thread: Part II

If you want to go retro I'd suggest alternating red and blue seats :)
