Penn State

Penn State if it makes you feel better.

Thank you. There is a Penn University, separate from Penn State. I'm no penn state fan but i don't think they want to be called penn. Was just curious.

Re: Penn State

I am impressed by how fast Penn State was able to to establish a respectable team. The step up from there is going to be tougher. Good Luck.

OMG, the zombie apocolypse must be upon us. I actually agree with something Happy said. I'm scared now...

Don't think of it as agreeing with a gopher fan as much as realizing that they're saying the obvious. It helps.

Re: Penn State

Any reason we're hyping a program that did worse than other fourth year full scholarship programs in recent memory?

I'm still a little new to Division 1 college hockey, care to give examples?

Thank you for the examples. I see that Niagara made the tournament 1999-00 and won the first round. Unless I'm looking at the wrong history for Nebraska-Omaha, I don't see where they did anything until 2006 where they saw their 1st tourney appearance. Northern Michigan is probably the best example of the three given but that was in 1979-80. They've maintained a very respectable level since.

Maybe Penn State hasn't been breaking barriers down in a break neck pace but the team is getting there. I think the general idea is that nobody really thought they'd do anything for another couple years yet but the team is gelling well. If they get another class like this seasons and stay healthy, everything should come to fruition soon. It is a Penn State thread and Penn State fans will always speak highly of their team. The non Penn State fans that made good comments felt like saying so, which is pretty respectable. It's just a respectable thing to give credit where it's due even when it's not your team.

That's right. Don't call PSU "Penn". The Nits would hate to be confused with an Ivy League institution.

Re: Penn State

What's is everyone thoughts on the Fighting Irish joining the Big 10 I think it's great and will only be the start for probably a few teams realigning with other divisions. Does anyone have any insides on where Arizona will land.

It's almost like there's a whole 26-page thread about that topic or something.

Now I know you're just trolling

Re: Penn State

Nebraska - Omaha made it to the conference championship game of the CCHA in their 3rd year of existence (2000), just one game away from getting that auto-big to the NCAA's. It was their very 1st year in the CCHA

Much closer than what Penn State has done.

There is much more to a teams history other than the NCAA's. I guess you were only looking up UNO's NCAA history, not their TEAM history

I agree with a previous poster..

Haha

More like we would hate to be confused with the complete ghetto where that institution is located (jk, I think it's not as bad as people make it out to be)
