The National Concrete Center is 30+ years old. It was never that nice to begin with and looks absolutely butt ugly now compared to some other arenas around the country.
I am with you on St. Thomas. Summit hockey.....not so much.
Miami and WMU to the CCHA, St. Thomas and Arizona State to the NCHC would position the NCHC well for the future.
The Vikings are ignoring the QB position at their own peril. If Kirk goes down in game one and is out for the year, I don't know if they win one game with Mannion as the starter.
I imagine they would jump at the chance to join a league as prestigious as the NCHC. Of course, a lot of things would have to happen first. It is never too early to think about the next five and ten years.
I agree with you. But it is worth pointing out that the schools you listed all currently have extensive natty droughts. So we aren't the only school struggling to finish off seasons.
While I won't give up on a team before the season starts, his points aren't entirely without merit. This upcoming season is critical for the coaching staff and the program.
