UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

Not often that UNH is playing the "harder" game. All over Dartmouth on the boards and definitely more physical. Will be interesting if they can keep it up l.

And UNH played much faster with better passing, although Dartmouth seemed to be making adjustments in the last 2-3 minutes. Will see which team makes better adjustments to begin the second.

We knew one thing... a team from NH with a Canadian forward named Cam MacDonald was winning this game.

In the battle of Cam MacDonald, Cam MacDonald with a convincing win with 1 assist, +1, 3 shots, went 15-6 on faceoffs. Meanwhile Cam MacDonald had no points, was a -2, and only 2 shots. Cam MacDonald completely dominated Cam MacDonald, despite being the 3rd line center vs the first line winger on an undefeated team.

3 cheers for Cam MacDonald, the forward from Canada on a team from NH... I'm talking about UNH Cam MacDonald, of course.

I am sure it is highly unlikely, but how cool would it be to have Chip Kelly return to UNH to head coach football?

That would be a home run hire for UNH. My guess is that Chip, like Ryan Day, now simply resides in a different universe, despite his recent pitfalls.

What deadbeats like you don’t realize is that good people talented professionals who accomplish positive results deserve to get paid. Meathead, Buford and you, who think food stamps is extravagant, think $250k per year is big dough. UNH just lost Santos, who was being paid $275k. Embarrassing .

Fixed yer post, blockhead.

Lots of "good people" out there ain't quite cutting it as successful professionals, and not "deserving" more than average earnings in their field. If they don't agree, the employment markets in their respective fields remain open for "good people" to try to earn more. That includes Santos, Hubbard (and Souza).

Of the three, Hubbard remains head and shoulders over the other two, and if there is an embarrassing departure we've seen at UNH, it's been Hubbard, who is literally on the doorstep of showing UNH how crazy stupid they were to let him go. If we see UVM and then Hubbard win D-1 titles in back-to-back years ... ouch ...

Otherwise, go ahead, and tell us that $250K is anywhere close to average earnings, and remind us how out of touch you are, goombah ...

Unfortunately Chuck...that universe is called P-4/FBS pay scale. It's why highly successful FCS level coaches leave their programs to become coordinators at P-4/FBS schools. When you can double your salary at the blink of an eye...while at the same time rolling the dice that continued success will triple that salary again, at a minimum if you get a head job at a G-5 school it's a no brainer. You don't seem to be a big football fan so all of this $$ talk may not matter much to you...I'd even venture that it's safe to say you would scrap football to give soccer more $$. Here are the salaries at 2 comparable schools to UNH...URI pays Fleming $380K/yr, Maine pays Stevens $245K/Year. The average CAA head coach salary is $400K. If you think you can replace an alum like Santos with someone who can do a comparable or better job and will hang around....then paying them at least the avg league salary will be key. And let's be honest thing UNH will be seeing from Kelly and Day are donation checks to get them both a tax write off.

Wasn't a big fan of UNH sitting on it in the 3rd. The first 2 periods UNH ran a 2 man forecheck, all over Dartmouth (fun fast hockey). In the 3rd it was dump and watch 4 men back one "forechecker" high in the O-zone

Just like at Maine...and it led to the OT. Anyway...we will take the W.

Buford, Posting at 1 am on a Monday morning? lol. You sleep until noon every day obviously. Your lack of self awareness is hilarious.
 
Most exciting game of the year to be at and truthfully in a long time. No matter what happens the rest of the way the Men's hockey team future looks very bright. They seem to be getting better every game. They are sitting at 21 NPI and should get into the top 20 poll this week. 20 wins are very attainable. The boys are playing hard through every shift. They are easy to root for. Go Cats!

I post whenever/wherever I choose, Karen. Coming from the King of Lack of Self-Awareness, this is both ironic AND hilarious. 😂 😂 😂

Was not aware of the other HC paychecks in the same conference, but I support the open market, and if this is what Santos and UNH have chosen, then we'll see what happens. Just as an FYI, I do not support UNH ending Football (others on here disagree, and that's fine, but to me its unrealistic for a school that just built their new stadium), any more than I supported them cutting Baseball and Lacrosse to get into the good graces of Title IX.

But the not-so-new AD's record to date is hardly impressive ... to my knowledge, fantastic Soccer coach gone, pretty good Football coach leaving now, Hoops' all-time winningest coach lol (decent) replaced by an apparent DEI hire, and of course Hockey extending a mediocre-to-date HC.

Agreed that Kelly isn't coming back ... thought I said that somewhere, him being in a different universe, only thing that might make sense would be a retirement job type of situation, but knowing a couple of folks close to the source here, the chances of that happening here are probably less than 5%. Day isn't even on the radar.

Is he of gay/black/trans/other non-100%-straight-white-male persuasion? Seriously. If so what's the problem? Is it that he replaced an old bald white guy lol?

Also:
TRIO scholars and Sustainability Institute prepare to relocate as UNH proposes six building closures

Outrageous and despicable claim to make without providing any form of evidence. Truly vile.

If you have some claims on the part of the athletic department that support this, please share.
