    I don't think our on-ice performance will have much to do with what the presidents decide. Their hockey people will be telling them just how hard it is to recruit against zero postseason.

      For our OU games:

      7:30p at the Iceplex on Friday: free admission, first-come, first-served. Y'all know it won't hold a lot of people.
      3:00p at the VBC on Saturday: again, free, FCFS. There probably won't be a big crowd, but your season tickets don't reserve your spot for this game.

          I hope others will do the same to their University powers.

            What's the status of the program pending the NCAA committee meeting next week?

              We're just waiting and polishing the WCHA presentation.

                Are you guys going into this with expectations or is this a wing and a prayer? Do you have an alternate plan or is it WCHA or nothing? I'm mostly just curious. In any case I hope it works out.

                  Our AD and president have been lobbying their counterparts across the league for months now (plus WCHA reps visited in October), so there's expectations.

                  There is no alternate plan (that I know of). Atlantic Hockey, the only other option, doesn't want us. It's the WCHA or bust.

                    Best of luck, then. I really hope this works. Though I'm not sure Atlantic wouldn't want you especially given the current makeup. And I would say AHA hockey has really come a long way since the old MAAC days. But good luck with the WCHA. Probably a very good fit there.

                      I think it boils down to the AHA being a cost-containment league that already deals with regular trips to Air Force. We wouldn't mitigate travel in the AHA like we could in the WCHA.

                        Fair enough. I can see that. I think AHA does get something from Air Force to offset the extra costs, though I don't know the details. I believe I read it someplace when they first joined. But it makes sense to be willing to pay to offset travel when you get some name teams coming in that you wouldn't do for lesser known entities. For Air Force AHA made sense for a number of reasons competitively and because of their military brethren so they were willing to do it.

                          I trust Adam Wodon's sources. [I'm not an AW fan.]

                            Altenkirch should consider trying to get Nick Saban to join the WCHA presentation.

                                No home hockey for nine months after today. Ah, independent life.

                                Oklahoma could probably give Adrian a run for their money.
