The NCHC: Just be glad its NaCHo League

[Tiggsy]

Re: The NCHC: Just be glad its NaCHo League

I would think with the size of Minnesota's athletic department, they could find a couple of work study students to move the one trophy that is in their trophy case.

Oh, come on now. You know that our trophy only moves when it's given a police escort with a rockin 'stache. And he's not available, so it stays put.

EDIT: I'll admit the write on on Duluth is pretty amusing.

I'm not asking him, I'm asking you. Given how proud you are of the email and the work you put into it, I'm puzzled by your reluctance to share it.

NCHC, where mediocrity not only accepted, apparently it's encouraged. Only a matter of time before the mediocrity spreads to the product on the ice.

Loving every lame defense you guys are coming up with. My favorite was Goon's "they let the domain expire so they could redesign the website". Dohkay

I know you feel like you have to try and throw shade at the NCHC because you want the B1G to be the premier conference in college hockey. And you feel like the B1G has to be the premier conference in college hockey because your beloved Gophers are in it and they have to be in the best conference because they are the best team. And they have to be the best team because you have such low self-esteem that you will glom onto any success of the Gopher hockey program as success of your own. The Gophers are an extension of you and they have to be the best because that will give you self worth.

But this is a reach.

The best conference in college hockey is only going to be decided on the ice. Not because of a website domain lapsing that no one visits.

You're both wrong. It's going to be decided by who has the best cheap shot against opposing teams or conferences on a message board connected to the subject matter.

Try and spin this any way you want, but bottom line is these gaffes are making whomever is running your conference look unprofessional at best, and incompetent at worst.

I don't need to "prove" the BTHC is the elite conference in college hockey. The financials will overwhelmingly show that. And that will translate onto the ice. How many teams did the NCHC have in last year's Frozen Four?

Meanwhile, the question I have for you is: Do you think your conference will still be run out of some guy's basement in 5 years? I mean why not? *They are doing a stellar job with the website and the guy's kid designs a sick logo...

Allow me to provide the response to save everyone else the trouble...

"But how many national champions did the B1G have the year before?"

Many of you were thinking that, so you're welcome.

To which I'll reply, anything that has happened before the announcement of the B1G and NCHC is inconsequential to which conference will be the premiere hockey conference in this new college hockey landscape.

Simple logic

Everyone keeps quoting him. Someone needs to copy the Fark ignore ability where it ignores posts that quote people on your ignore list.

Re: The NCHC: Just be glad its NaCHo League

Who cares if the conference is being run out of somebody's basement for now? It won't even play its first game for another 16 months. At this point it probably has revenues coming in of about...zero. I am not going to judge a conference by how much money it is wasting 16 months before it starts generating any revenues.

I will, however, judge a conference by how many crimes its member schools are committing.

Why don't you help out the folks at the NCHC and post the link to the Big Ten's hockey website maybe they could get some pointers. I mean by looking at the Big Tens homepage its clear to see how important college hockey is.

Keep repeating the same failed argument, but it won't get any better. It has already been explained to you, countless times, why there is no Big Ten Hockey website. There will never be a Big Ten Hockey website. There is no big Ten Football or Basketball websites. The Big Ten manages more than just hockey.

As far as why hockey isn't listed on the website yet, the Big Ten Hockey Conference doesn't start until next year. Why add it now?

If you'd learn to read, you'd understand (not holding my breathe) that the criticism wasn't that the NCHC didn't have a website, but that it rushed to create one and then let the web domain expire. And then stay expired for two weeks.

And now, after getting it back up, they have verbage on it praising how wonderful the WCHA is. Pure freaking GOLD!!!

Get used to mediocrity. I'll be here every step of the way to rub it in

The only thing funnier than your holier-than-thou d0ush3baggery is your obvious obsession with a conference you supposedly dislike...

Re: The NCHC: Just be glad its NaCHo League

The world of marketing has entirely turned to "Branding". The NCHC set out to establish theirs. "We are the mid-majors of the college hockey world and we're more committed and more professional" might sum it up. Obviously, letting your domain expire isn't professional and doesn't show commitment.

Now to the risk with "Branding". When you don't live up to your own definition of who you are ... people take note. We'll likely see and note many other future off-target efforts from this outfit. The truth is that the league is a product of a self-deluded few who see their schools as much more than they are. So when they bumble they should expect someone to point their finger and say ha ha.

Who said I don't like the NCHC? Truth is, I'm indifferent towards it. It's an insignificant entity. I just enjoy mocking it considering all of the criticism that was directed towards the WCHA.
