Opponents and Others, 2022-23

Why is everyone named "Rand" unpleasant?

Pecknold will now have the locker room named after him and his wife as a result of the largest alumni donation in history of Q athletics.

The largest alumni donation? I wonder how much $$$ it takes to renovate and name a locker room? A lot less, I’d think, than endowing a head coaching position that must go for at least 3 or 4 million.

I’m pretty tired of hearing about Quinnipiac at this point. They’re operating from different premises than the rest of the ECAC and it would be nice if they left for Hockey East.

I thought some Pegula scumbag type financed their new boring barn. That would be north of $500M.

Edit: jesus fuck, it only cost $52M. Even for 2007 that seems ludicrously low.

Does that mean we could rebuild Lynah with slightly less carcinogenic materials for say $40k and donuts for the workers?

I think we'd all like that, but what incentive is there for Q to leave? In Hockey East, their chances of conference domination are far less than in the ECAC.

The Quinnipiac Palace on the Hill cost $52 million, yes, which is $78M in 2023 dollars. That is for the hockey rink, separate basketball arena, and the common concourse. Cheap? they may have cut corners backstage, locker rooms, weight rooms. things like that.

Sacred Heart Martire Family Arena is 3,600 seats, $70 million.

Arizona [edit add:] State, the one in Phoenix not Tucson, has a new a rink. Its name -- wait for it -- Mullet Arena. 5,000 seats, cost $134 million. Is that more to your liking?

Arizona State, you mean. And they have an NHL team supplying rent income as a tenant.

I feel like the obvious answer is the correct one there.

My entire in law family had loaded up the cactus truck to hunt you. I have convinced them to stand down. This time.

"Why?" - Because "Rand" is always the shortened form of "Randy"- but you can't blame them for trying.

The worst cases are when it's Rand as in Ayn.
