Pump It Up

Of course not.

That would be a tremendous hire. Therefore it seems unlikely.

He indicated that Raboin has no interest in the job - which I have confirmed through friends of his. He then said it’d be Dane.

I believe you Rhett, just based on the track record. Don’t let the rubes discourage you.

And no one called Raboin a chippah. You said he would be unable to recruit chippahs and responses followed. As a player he was not recruited and worked his balls off to start basically every game in 4 years and was named to two all WCHA teams.

Does Cullen have a bachelor's? Not an option if not. He jumped to the NHL after sophomore year at SCSU and played in the show forever.

I zeroed in on ECAC because you said it and I thought it was the most funny of the three but if you had left it with Big 10 and Hockey East I'd have made fun of that too considering the person in question is a proven associate head coach in the WCHA, NCHC, and Big 10.

And without looking it up name one associate head coach in the ECAC. Ten seconds. Don't cheat. (I got zero)

Nothing would get people more juiced than a proven associate head coach from the ECAC. UND can really bust that upstate New York pipeline wide open as everyone has been dreaming of when they hire Joe Smith from Colgate.

I think it's also worth noting because there is no reason anyone would know this, but I think for the first four or five of those years at SCSU Motzko was the head, obviously. Assistants were a brand new Raboin and Mike Gibbons who was there forever. This would lead one to assume that Raboin was the third man of the staff but that's not how it worked. Gibbons was a tremendous coach and recruiter - he's responsible for all those Nordic guys who scored on UND or kept UND from scoring. But he was happy with his role and Raboin was Motzko's right hand from the day he was hired.

The SCSU dream scenario is Sandy to UND. That creates the sliding doors of Larson to Duluth and Raboin to SCSU. And Berry to Augustana just for fun. Raboin will excite ZERO recruits so bring in Sandy.

You just described Dane Jackson. Good luck with that.

Rydell flight touched down 7 minutes ago - who is on the scene?

Allegiant flight to kiss the ring in Vegas.

No, no you wouldn’t. But you could imagine what it’d be like if you did.
