Opponent News 19-20

[CU2007]

We've covered all of this pretty extensively. Zero news in there. Of course, the NYT is catering to an audience that doesn't really follow it. ... If Illinois adds any time soon, I'll be surprised. There may be an announcement of a team or so soon - but it won't be a major one.  Arizona State "opted not to join" because they were asking for too many things, and the WCHA basically said forget it. Not to mention it doesn't have an arena yet either.

Who do you predict adds D1 hockey in the next 5 years? And do you think the Alaska programs eventually fold?

As I say often - it's impossible to really say, because it depends upon some big donor coming along and saying "please take my money" -- that's pretty much it. So you never know.

We will have news on this on CHN soon - there may be one ready to make the jump for sure - but still not sure.

The Alaska programs will probably fold eventually, but may try to hang on kicking and screaming for a while.

Amazing that Alabama-Huntsville holds on. Their president Robert Altenkirch 2011-2019 was a believer in sports as a school unifier and to that end in his stop before UAH, had taken NJIT (think CCNY Tech in Newark) into D1 basketball. (How do you unify a school around the NCAA record for consecutive defeats, 51? ) Have to see if the new guy is as supportive of UAH hockey. There is now UAH women's hockey to provide Title IX balance.

IIRC, UAH also had white knights among the team alumni who saved the program with their own contributions.

I would't be shocked if UAA and UAF have a similar network, although the expenses are probably a lot higher.

Harvard up 3-0 on Clarkson at the end of the first period.

C'mon, you stupid Crimson, do something right for once.

No, BC is manhandling Northeastern.  Now 7-1 after 2, but it was 7-0.

Edit:  Now 9-1.  Somebody's pissed about the Beanpot.  Just wow.  

And they made the conversion.  Final 10-1.

Duluth lost to Western Mich.  

UND and St.Cloud now tied 2-2.  Denver up 5-2 on Miami in the 2nd.

If someone had told you before tonight's games started that BC would beat Northeastern 10-1, what odds would you have needed to make a bet on another game tonight winding up even more lopsided than that?

Minnesota State over Alabama-Huntsville 10-0!

[andyw2100]

St. Cloud was down 3-2 to North Dakota. They tied it a 3-3, and there was a review resulting in a major penalty against North Dakota. St. Cloud starting on the PP now.
