Re: Utica College hockey. ..Can we catch a break this season?
PSUCk/Prof, you two are barking-up the wrong tree.
What in the World is your collective point..? And what, in any quantifiable sense, constitutes a "hockey town", anyway..? Northfield, Platty..? (And, furthermore, who cares?)
Supporting hockey, not just a team, is a good starter. Something Utica does not do. Support UC? Sure. Even you yourself have pointed out reasons why people go to the UC games. It has little to do with the love of hockey....and Prof nor I were the ones who first brought up (nor care to) comparing Utica to another city listed. I think my stance on Plattsburgh has been stated several times over the past 10-15 years....
.and funny you come up with PSUCk...cute...yet again no kidding
, what has UC done? *crickets*crickets* about as much as the points you get right around here. I guess in order to PSUCk, you actually had to have done something, one team has....one team has not. Look on the bright side, UC has more NCAA Playoff appearances than Morrisville and Brockport
Hopefully someone is around with a respirator again this year come playoffs for them. Remember, unlike PSU, you can't spell suck with out s
UCk. (And yes its a freaking joke don't get your panties all in a bunch).
I didn't attend the Utica FF because I didn't give a sh*t about the teams involved. And, evidently, very few locals gave a sh*t about them either. Ergo, the poor attendance.
Thank you for making my point once again. Open mouth, insert foot. Couldn't have said it better. A "hockey town" will come out and support hockey, whether their team is in it or not.
The outdoor event will probably be a big hit, if the weather cooperates, or a huge waste of time and money if not.
It might and or it might not (see my actual serious post). The whole outdoor thing (to some of us) has really faded. If this was 10-15 years ago, people would come from all over. Now coaches, players, parents whatever have all played or attended some sort of outdoor game (playing or watching). Cool yes, but I wouldn't expect more than 3,000 for the college game *will still be a decent crowd for DIII yes* when A. Its outside so a lot of people wont want to chance being cold B. You're going to need a bigger influx of non UC fans (just hockey fans) to come out, and the NCAA FF showed (and you even reiterated) that they just don't care about "hockey" in town. Had the Utica people come out and supported the FF (whether Utica was in it or not), and filled the Aud (heck even 2,000) I would more lean on the side of it being a hit.
Your sniping comes-off as pointless and petty BS, in either case.
And I (or anyone on here) care what you think because? The only "BS" is the blabber, lies, and fairytales that come out of your pie hole on a consistent basis. Tho I give you credit, you actually semi-manned up and admitted to being wrong for a change...That's almost as good as SiceDoggy claiming UC would have more NCAA bids but doesnt because they just got the autobid (yet only won a league tournament once - not sure what they put in the water in Utica for people to live in such fairytales). Probably the same one who always thought Utica played such a great NC schedule years ago too...then again, also said there was less than 1,000 fans at every Lake Placid Championship lol he has to be related to you....
