    Huskyfan: You seem to have a minority opinion on friendly intermural chatter. The posts from outside the Tech community appear to be welcomed such as those that precede this post. Volunteering my connection with Tech hockey great, Gerald Sullivan, along with NMU & BSU on the Tech Thread makes me delusional? You would have a hard time getting consensus with your thread mates on that one.

      I don't know if they currently have varsity jackets, but they did for many years. I have one that I purchased when I received my first varsity letter from Tech back in the early 1990s (earned in a D2 sport). They are/were a silver/gray wool body, buff/neutral leather sleeves, gold snaps, and black collars and cuffs with two gold stripes. Then the varsity letter if not many have seen a Michigan Tech varsity letter is an all gold M that is thinner in width and taller in height (kind of the opposite of Michigan's block M). They are a most unique looking varsity jacket - I have seen nothing quite like them anywhere with the color scheme. There are old B&W pictures of them with MacInnes wearing one without the letter, one with Esposito wearing one, and some of the hockey trainers wearing them as well - floating around.

      Tech also use to give varsity blankets after your senior season. They were a silver/gray wool with gold edging, and an old M varsity letter in the middle that was gold with silver edging (your name and any accolades are embroidered below). The old M varsity letter was from the MCM days. In the one corner are gold stars for every letter you earned and the sport(s) you were in is embroidered. I really treasure mine, as a former co-worker of mine that played football told me that they no longer give that type of varsity blanket out anymore.

        since when do we have "friendly intermural chatter" between MTU and NMU? the Gerald Sullivan connection is great, you couldnt get into Tech, that ok, I couldnt either, but to drop in to tell us "Go Bemidji!" - thats over the top!

          I have a blanket, but not a physical letter or a jacket to put it on. It's a shame there is nothing like the old jackets today. I would sure as heck wear it. I had a family member take a nap on the couch with the blanket and I had to educate him that it wasn't used in that manner. Thanks for the reply!

            I guess the Tech thread is the place to be. Does Northern still have a two year program in bar management? That's a special place.

              Huskyfan: "Over the Top", perhaps. "Delusional", probably not. I did get a good enough education at NMU to earn a PhD in health science from the University of Utah. Maybe you're right, and I wouldn't of been able to get into Tech. On second thought, my NMU roommate my junior/senior years was Rich Brown, Tech's 2nd leading scorer on the basketball team his freshman year. He wasn't an Albert Einstein either and he got in. Although he didn't last. I'm not sure why he left. It may have been the rigors of Tech, or maybe Sherman gymnasium, or the 7/1 male/female ratio Tech had at that time (according to the rumors anyway). This sounds like friendly intermural chatter to me. For those Husky fans venturing our way this weekend, enjoy Dave's Pizza and one of our nice lakeside hotels. Sorry about the deep-freeze.

                  I wouldn't know how the pizza tastes, since the place closed at 9, so we couldn't get pizza after the game.

                    Shirtless Guy: As a wise man once said, "A succulent repast is in the eye, nostrils, and taste buds of the beholder". Dave's Pizza is a very popular place, especially for the tourists. Alternatives might be the Corner Bar, Keith's Pizza, Tutto Bene, or Sparkling Waters. There's also the chains like Green Mill, Buffalo Wild Wings, etc. The Corner Bar is popular for the drinks and burgers.

                    Bigblue_dl: Dave's Pizza closes at 11:00 pm Friday and Saturday in November, but may be 9:00 pm in the dead of winter as you unfortunately experienced.

                      Keg n' Cork is pretty good too. You know it's a quality place because they have a positive review from Marilyn Hagerty hanging in the entryway.

                      Also, I don't know if it's open in the winter, or if you'd ever want to with the weather, but Big River Scoop has very good ice cream.

                      EDIT: And for the record, I ate at Dave's after a game once and wasn't disappointed.

                        My complaint is with Bigblue, we tried to eat there on suggestion of someone and they closed at 9 on a game night....we had to settle for Applebee's I think because it was the only non-fast food that was open.

                          GAME DAY! Huskies need to bring their best effort yet again this weekend. BSU appears to be a pretty good team and you know every team is going to be giving Tech their best effort for the chance to knock them off their undefeated perch. It would be too ironic if Beavers set a trap that catches the Huskies off their game.

                            BSU can score and they are at home. When Tech has stayed within the plan, they've rolled. Last Saturday they lapsed and had some undisciplined moments that reminded me of last year. Hopefully they are focused and Jamie stays solid. Go Tech!!

                              Part of that was UAA's style of play. You can bet the memo on Tech going forward will be to play physical and get them worked up/taking penalties.
