Andy Staples from SI reporting that yesterday's blown game against South Carolina has resulted in Florida firing Will Muschamp effective immediately...

I stayed up for that one...The Sun Devils had a golden opportunity in fromt of themselves last night...and blew it.

A loud roar went up last night when the football score was announced at REA - it's a shame more folks around town didn't actually attend the game. A drop-off of over 3,000 since the Montana game? Wow! I can't give enough credit to the coaches and players for their effort yesterday. Playing for pride is a tired cliché and everyone deserves big kudos for being ready to play...and WIN...yesterday.

I get that, Goon, but you would still expect a hiccup or two at some point ten games into the season no matter who the opponents are. 10 and oh is 10 and oh. Party on, you Yoopers!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHWxi2B9YMg&feature=player_embedded I don't care what level of football this is...the team celebration and what-happened-next made me laugh out loud... Yes, I know it's Mercer vs Warner but this had to go somewhere...love the official standing there waiting for the "bowling pins" to get knocked down so he can throw the yellow flag. LOL!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHWxi2B9YMg&feature=player_embedded I don't know how you can help but laugh at the bowling pins penalty followed by what happened next... Yes, I know it's Mercer vs Warner but this had to go somewhere...love the official standing there waiting for the "bowling pins" to get knocked down so he can throw the yellow flag. LOL!

I'll still post our schedule over in the Community section when it's released...

Speaking of jersey features, here's another one I like...the yellow blob on Michigan Tech's left shoulder was added just before Mel Pearson's first season. It's the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and the small black mark at the top left marks the location of Houghton and Hancock (think GF and EGF). The patch was put on the shoulder to signify Michigan Tech being the "UP's team" - a small feature meant to take a slight jab at Northern Michigan and Lake Superior State, obviously. I think the logic behind it was that while Michigan Tech might not be competing with Michigan and Wisconsin for recruits, if they can snag a talented kid who might otherwise be headed to Marquette or Sault Ste Marie, it's a win for their program. The other shoulder patch is a version of the school seal. I'd like to see UND do something with the state of ND on the shoulder of its jerseys. Cool idea.

The Chargers defeat LSSU 5-2 and earn their 2nd win of the season. The team went 2-35-1 last year. I believe I mis-stated their 2013-2014 record earlier in this thread - I thought UAH won all of 1 game last season. Would be nice to see this program become a WCHA contender - and their jerseys are sweet! I especially like the horseshoe logo on the shoulder (although it looks like the Baltimore Indianapolis Colts)...

Hey, thanks! We're still talking about me here, right Oxbow?

I have the B10 foursome of Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, and Wisconsin at a combined 10-23-1 record so far this season...yikes.

Some more numbers for you: 8, 8, 7 and 6, 5, 4. Those are the SEASON win totals for Jamie Russell at Tech in his first three and last three years there (2003-2004 to 2005-2006 and then 2008-2009 to 2010-2011 seasons). Russell is an alum of Tech and I'm sure was crushed by those results, but again, this shows you that the right coach can indeed turn around ANY struggling program.

10 wins 21 losses 4 ties 14 wins 19 losses 7 ties The 2013-2014 records of Boston U and Michigan Tech, respectively. What David Quinn and Mel Pearson have done with their squads thru the middle of November of this season is nothing short of incredible.

How about the shoot-out fiasco tonight in Pittsburgh? Wow!

That won't get your Irish to the final four now, will it? I'll still hand it to you, Johnnyboy...that 31-0 loss was an embarrassment.

Boo hoo, you had me and then you lost me. Notre Dame has finally been exposed as a fraud.

The Hurricanes were actually up 23-7 at one point in the 2nd quarter...

I believe I still hold the Shoreview record thanks to my 8-goal game a few years ago against "Eh?", which is probably akin to scoring four touchdowns in one game for Polk High, but I digress...I had some pretty slick goals that game...

So Hak failed to motivate the team properly last night and that's why they lost? C'mon...

6-0 on the road and 4-0 at home. While they haven't exactly played college hockey juggernauts so far, there is no denying the impressive start to Tech's 2014-2015 season.

That was actually pretty subdued compared to the end of last nite's game at Mariucci!

UAH is poised to win its 2nd game of the season...

Michigan Tech is 10-0 after beating Bemidji State 4-2...

Let the wailing and gnashing of teeth begin over on GPL...

Alabama-Huntsville up 2-1 against Lake State...
