Re: Michigan Tech Off-season Revised - Onward and Upward

Booked flights last night for the MTU-NMU weekend in February. Looking forward to the rivalry with all-new coaching staffs, regardless of standings.

1) Speaking of houses, where does Coach Joe live? Just curious. I checked the county property records and he's not listed. He must be renting. He should be able to buy now.

2) Is the Onigaming Supper Club still in business?

1) I was busy last year and failed to notice the new Michigan Tech sports logo. It's a HUGE improvement and looks very professional. Well done! I'm so glad they finally put Piano Dog down.

2) I'm also glad to see the use of "Michigan Tech" and MTU on hats and clothing. The square, stacked MTU logo from the 70s was the most recognizable logo Tech has ever had.

3) Pres. Mroz strongly disliked the nicknames Michigan Tech and MTU. He thought they made us sound like a technical school. Yeah right, you mean like MIT, Cal Tech, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, and RPI?

4) I truly appreciate the amazing mathematical skills of engineers but I fondly remember the "Michigan Technological University" spelling cheer at the hockey games where many students in the crowd got lost spelling Technological.

Interesting that you say that...wait until August!

I heard the jerseys have a retro look, will there be the square MTU on one of the shoulders?

Shirtless, when can we expect all the recruiting uncertainty to be settled. As mentioned, I don't think UM has room for too many of Tech's guys.
I am most concerned about Halonen, Parrottino, Newsome, Williamson for the future and especially Reitmeyer at this point for this season.

The article is written, just waiting on Shawhan to pick a third string goalie and for MTU to make an official release of the roster.
I'm not worried about Reitmeyer. 2017 is set except the goalie...sadly there are 4 guys that were committed that won't be coming to MTU at this time...Mel really screwed up recruiting going into the 2017-18 season and jumped ship at the right moment to leave the mess for Shawhan.

Darn, any insight for the makeup of the 4, I am assuming all forwards?

There are always capable replacements available, just need to have the new guys target the needs.

It's mostly defensemen because Mel over-recruited...I'm going to let Calvin drop the release first

Travis Brown is one of the players who's not coming. He committed to St. John's University a month ago.

A few people?!? Understatement of the year.

Yost still has bleachers, just like the football stadium. Yuck.
