Yikes...when did 'bama get fans?  ::nut::

I was under the impression that they had a rabid following from the moment they started the team.  Is this wrong?

I really don't know.  I guess they're the only D-I team in the South, but then again, when did the South get hockey fans?  ::nut::

A bunch of people I know who work at my company travel to Huntsville on a semi-regular basis.  According to them, the city isn't exactly typical of the South.  There are loads of transplants because there's a lot of technical work centered around NASA Marshall.  So it's never surprised me too much that UAH has a hockey team and it wouldn't surprise me if the fans were rather devoted.

Personally I haven't been there since the '70s, so I can't speak from experience.  I can say that the Space Center Exhibit at Marshall is worth seeing, if you ever find yourself down in that corner of the world.

The south gets hockey fans when us yankees relocate for school or work. . . DisplacedCornellian knows what i'm talking about.



P.S. They really, honestly, seriously tailgate for the Hurricanes down here.

My Whalers?  My beloved long-lost Whalers?

Yeah, there's a serious lack of college hockey south of the mason dixon line.....  the Norfolk Admirals are a poor substitute.

Count your blessings.  There's a serious lack of ice on the Mississippi Delta (thank you, #@$%@ing Hornets).  Tulane's club team has to play 100+ miles away in Lafayette.

I like the fact that the top two second-place vote-getters are teammates of the top two first-place vote getters.  (This is why I vote for the Cornell nominees daily; it's clear this sort of polling doesn't deserve to be taken seriously.)

I'm surprised that there aren't more candidates/votes for players from the top 5 teams.

While I have to agree with you, I did get to see Parris Duffus play for the Admirals back in '93 or '94.

Danis has passed Vesce.... NO, I say!  NO!

About the same time D1 goalies started coming out of Texas? :-P
