Ain't that the sad truth of it all, 'Watcher ... :-(
Fishman'81
Black Bear since D-2
We saw The Brubeck Quartet in (maybe) 1995 in Saratoga. The guys were getting old, but "Take Five" was still a wonderful jam, and outside.
(OK, and perhaps we were a little drunk to boot.)
Here I go into geezer-mode again, but what music is there today that compares favorably to that, in terms of longevity?
Saw them (Bobby Militello on alto sax as well) in 2000 at Fitchburg (MA) State College (University now, I guess). My Dad was in a wheelchair with Parkinson's and they let us sit all the way in the front. He was ecstatic. A wonderful memory, and he was gone shortly afterwards (I think Dave was gone in 2012)
There isn't.
Just to break the string of music history posts ………
TRIVIA: Bentley, which owns a 2-2-0 lifetime record against UNH (with a 15-12 goals advantage), lost to Holy Cross 5-2 at Hart Rink the only time that the Falcons played in the AHA championship game eight days before the Crusaders beat the Gophs 4-3 in the West Regionals semi’s at Englestad on 24 March 2006. The Crusaders goalie Tony Quesada was adept at lifting his net off its posts for a whistle when things got tight without getting called for delay of game penalties.
As for when we will get our NC, Michigan State fan who sold me spare ticket for the Buffalo FF in 2003 told me after Vanek’s second goal that it would happen after the Sox win a WS. By my count, UNH should now have five NC’s.
Trivia, Part Two: UNH women's basketball is 9-4 all time against UConn
For brief time, UNH had a fair team video update for the women’s team consistently, which went by the wayside during the MS7 reign…but I’m not familiar with what schools are doing on the men’s side but the “piece de resistance” is Northeastern’s women’s team! They daily post on Twitter, IG, & FB! In today’s women’s athletics, building their online product is essential especially if the team isn’t an annual power! Women’s athletics do post often, so if the men don’t they’re truly numb!!
Unfortunate Gents, I’m afraid “he didn’t say WHEN” will stand tall for at least the next decade if not longer…

UNH Men's Hockey has an active internet presence using all the platforms that I'm aware of (FB, Twitter, Insta). They post about games and other things like trivia about the team (more on Insta). But they haven't done a lengthy video as of late (at least, not that I'm aware of?) There was a weekly podcast that 2 UNH journo students were doing but that seemed to stop when the team hit
the 11 game losing skid. Not much comes out of UNH outside of these things; so much for the 'weekly presser', and before the pandemic, the events at Red Hook Brewery where they'd host a UNH
team; invite coaches/players.
Always glad to read C-H-C's blog about incoming prospects; seems that is the most active news information-
If you (or anyone else who's interested) in reading UMO's Coach's letter to fans its been posted on the Maine thread. Its obvious he has a strong affinity with his players...

UNH Director of Athletics Allison Rich announced Tuesday that the contract of head coach Bill Herrion will not be renewed. A national search will be conducted for the next Wildcat men’s basketball head coach. "We wish Bill all the best and thank him for dedicating 18 seasons to UNH Men's Basketball. However, after careful consideration, I have determined that it is time for new leadership to continue advancing the program," Rich said.

The appetizer is quite delicious, however I'm worried the main course will be overcooked by about one year and just be totally underwhelming

At least...she is showing she's ready to make improvements. Am not trying to disparage Bill Herrion. The man put in 18 years of his life into that program and from the Twitter
posts I am reading he was well liked and respected by those in the America East. If anyone out there has additional insight into his contributions at UNH I hope you
will post them. I always feel kind of sad when this kind of thing happens, but also realize, there is a season for everything...
DB62 you are concerned there will be a possible one year tacked on for good measure? I'd think she has more than enough to gauge a non renewal decision
after next season. That said, if things turn around for UNH hockey next season, and I mean, a trip to the Garden at least, I could / would be on board. But there has to
be a definite improvement that has a big pay off...

So, this sends the message that existing "UNH family" will still be nudged out by the new AD, even in non-revenue sports. On the negotiation/leverage issue, it sends a message to MS7 that the gig will be up next year at the latest. With that volley, its now up to him to decide whether the wants to ride it out and collect $240, while miserable, or maybe take $200 and move on to a gig that he would enjoy, perhaps making up the extra $40 from that gig.
From his perspective, he may also decide that the core freshmen he suffered with this year will put UNH into the top 8, and hope that is good enough "progress" in the eyes of the AD. Then the volley is back to AD Rich, as to whether she wants to go to $240.

“A national search will be conducted for the next Wildcat men's basketball head coach.”
With next season’s first game seven months away and practice sooner, is it likely that contacts have been made and a few acceptable and willing candidates identified or is the search just beginning? The latter seems risky although it’s not like we’re replacing John Wooden so W-L improvement is not all that difficult.

Next week the portal opens for underclassmen...I think this will be interesting to see if we lose anyone. From what I understand UNH bball had to completely
rebuild their program from the portal as so many left. And he (Herrion) surely made some strides with that group. One never knows the exact reason why
players leave, but, happy players stay...
I'll be honest; I have a hard time thinking there's going to be a mass exodus from UNH hockey!

I think I have seen CSN (and Y once on his own...) and the last time Graham Nash said "we are here to sing all the songs that David remembers the words to". I just loved
him, and it was amazing that he lived as long as he did, with borrowed time from a liver transplant surely helping. I need to read his autobio...

Message received in the Souza household. Loud and clear. I would no longer be stunned, but still quite surprised by a significant buyout offer. Also, if I were in Coach Souza’s shoes, I believe in myself and $240K pays for a lot of misery.
edit: My assumption is that Coach Herrion was not under contract for next season.

Yes, I read last week somewhere that his contract was up.
