I would love to see BU buy their team this year and then either miss the tourney or lose in their first round game.

I am shocked. Shocked.

Well, they better start working then because that has now happened.

No, I doubt they’d share specifics unless you really donated a lot and wanted it to go to a specific sport or person. I posted this yesterday from my conversation with Holth from 1883C and he touched on that: yes, it's been a tough day. BUT, I will say - I've had fantastic conversations with Dane Jackson the past couple of days, and I feel really good about his vision and the future of the program. Losing guys to the portal is tough, but I think it's also worth noting that sometimes that creates more opportunity for newcomers to shine, and for current guys to step up. We (the collective and UNDAAF) are working our tails off in unison with the coaches to get to where we all want to be - winning a national championship! Don't get me wrong - I'm not a rose-colored glasses all the time guy. We may have more rough patches in front of us. But, long-term, I believe we're in a good spot to get back to where we all want to be.....and much of that is because of support from guys like you. I shy away from sharing numbers in terms of what we’re paying players, simply because I don’t want that info to leak to our competition. But I can tell you that in hockey and football – we will be very competitive this year and that will just continue to grow.

Yes you can choose which sport once you select a plan/amount. 85% of your donation goes to your preferred sport.

I’m guessing a big reason it started so poorly was when the best PKer on the team and the best shot blocker in the nation got hurt in game one. Also doesn’t help if aren’t willing to sacrifice yourself for the good of the team…as we’ve seen this team certainly lacked that.

How were the other years for Danes PK? I know you know the answer but for some reason keep going back to this.

That is just for the job opening that they essentially already have the replacement hired. @The Sicatoka nailed it with a couple of the requirements pointing to a specific person. I’m hoping they go with a broader search for the other assistant opening. Maybe after the ncaa tourney is over to get some more applicants.

I mean, Carle is an inbred and 'family' coach as well.

Yeah for sure. it’s perfectly setup for him

The Frattin season against UM hit me harder than 0.6.

50 is probably attainable if he continues at this scoring pace. Dang. The stat that I like the most of his (other than goals, of course) is by how much he leads the league in SOG. He’s not afraid to shoot, which is something that is good to see when you so often see players pass up shooting chances trying to setup the perfect goal.

Red Pepper gal?

Bear recovery timeline has been stated as 6-9 months. If it's 6 months, he would be ready for fall...if 9 months, more like mid-season. We'll see if the rumors of him heading here are true, hopefully they are. I'd bet that we're looking at quite a few CHL guys, especially forwards/centers.
