You keep saying the defense isn't worse than last year and that it will be better as this year goes on. Nothing we have seen up to this point even suggests that.

This!!!

The IPF won't clean all of this crap up. You still have to make the right decisions when recruiting talent and this staff hasn't got it done.

If Mussman is here that long, we won't have a program left.

So that is what we are reduced to now? This is beyond pathetic.

That's cute. You came up with that one all by yourself? The fact is that this loss validates the point I was trying to make two weeks ago, a point totally lost on most of the people on here, a point that is looking more and more valid with each 40 point drubbing this team suffers. I also said that if one of our teams proved me wrong, I would gladly eat crow. Well, the only one's eating crow now are the Mussman apologists. And, for the record, this is the first loss in which someone hasn't made some sorry excuse for the coaching staff. As for Faison being willing to open up the checkbook, I hope you are right. Otherwise, this will become the norm around here.

Of course not Goon. If it isn't played on ice and isn't played in the Imperial Ice Palace, it doesn't freaking matter. Unfortunately, you are right.

Coach's kid. Smart guy. A disciple of Mike Berg. We could do worse and anything is better than what we have right now.

Oh for Pete's Sake, conduct a national search. Advertise everywhere. Cast a wide net. Narrow it down to five candidates. Pick the best person you can. It isn't that freaking complicated. The only question is, do Faison and Kelley have the gonads to do this? Or are they just going to stick their heads in the sand? The Pioneer Football League is looking pretty good right now.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we are now officially the Morningside of the Big Sky Conference. Of course, that won't stop the Mussman apologists from using every excuse in the book to save his sorry butt: "Transition, Transition, Transition, Nickname, Nickname, Transition (again), "We don't have the players, so it isn't the coaching staff's fault", "Mussman should get all the time he wants", "Don't compare us to NDSU because that is irrelevant", "Everything is fine the way it is", "These are college athletes, so it doesn't matter if the team is a train wreck or not", "blah, blah, blah, blah, blah". :angry: I want someone in the ducky and bunny camp to come on here RIGHT NOW and explain to all of us why this coaching staff should get all the time they need to make the program better. And you cannot use any of the idiotic excuses I listed above. End rant. Enjoy the Green Kool-Aid before it gets warm in your glasses.

Okay, gotcha. Thanks for clarifying. I shouldn't post after taking a Saturday afternoon nap!

Would this have anything to do with all the drama at Texas A&M surrounding their spoiled-rotten sophomore QB? Is that why they wouldn't do their show from the site of what is arguably the game of the week in FBS (Alabama at Texas A&M)? Just a theory.

Relax. The NCHC had to start someplace. As the league gets established (and it won't take long), it will have more leverage in the future to negotiate a better deal. Give it time, it will work out in the long run.

Well, I surpassed 3500 posts a couple of days ago.

You must have voted for Ross Perot in 1992!

I agree with you, but some people don't like any critical comments about any aspect of our teams.

This is what I am concerned about. What if a large number of people do this? We need to figure out how to increase exposure and generate enough revenues to pay our Division I bar tab.

I agree with you. But some people will insist that exposure isn't as important as you and I think it is.

Okay, gotcha.

I wasn't referring to Gopher fans; most of them hate the BTHC. I was referring to the people that think the BTHC is going to dominate college hockey just because of BTN. That depends on the quality of product being put on the ice. Will this conference be solid top to bottom? Or will there be two or three good teams and three or four bad teams?
