Seems like someone lit a fire under their butts. No reason they cannot come out and play hard every game. Hard work pays off .

I just checked Abby Roques stats with Wisconsin and she is doing really well . Good for her .

I see that Kaelble is back skating in practices. Maybe he'll be back in the lineup for Mankato this coming weekend or at Tech the following weekend.

It'll probably come down to his conditioning for the week. After dealing with an injury, then Mono, who knows how his strength has held up.

Missed the radio show. Anything worth knowing?

Next season, Great Lake State Weekend will be Nov 1-2 and the opponent will be Michigan.

Ruggerio may be able to play against Tech, or for the Pittsburgh holiday tournament at the latest. Awaiting final word from the NCAA about him. Miura likely won't play until after the holidays (they were hoping for the holiday tournament). Gelsinger is day-to-day.

Average attendance so far this season is 1,719. Last season's was 2,145 , a big drop of more than 400 per game which is not good at all.

We were also, by my count, 8-8 at this point last season instead of 4-9-3. Fans don't want to pay $10-$15 a night to see their team lose.

When you fund the bottom of the barrel, you get the bottom of the barrel. You can keep changing the nameplate on the Coach’s office door, but until you fix the underlying problems, you won’t solve much.

You plant potatoes, you get potatoes. You might get lucky and have a decent season here or there, but with a shoestring budget, highly unlikely.

True, but you also had the Michigan State series at home last year, which is an outlier. That said, the box scores for the UAA series reported an average of just 1300 for each game.

Obviously winning will help to bring in more fans, but glancing at the Attendance thread a while back it sounds like attendance is down at a lot of schools, even some of the big name programs.
