  • Re: Michigan Tech, best season in 30 years, part two!

    Watching the games this weekend I remembered being on the other side of lopsided games and how it made me loathe the winning teams. I really hope opposing fan bases don't view Tech the same way I did unnamed others. Felt the same way during the UAH series, thinking about all the 'bad' hockey I had seen during my time in Houghton.

    Not that I'm saying the team should ease up...keep that power rolling! Just that I hope everyone else doesn't hate us. Yet.

      I was only legitimately upset at one old guy, who was obviously a Tech grad, woohooing after every goal. Woohooing like Tech was scoring 10 against the late 70's Canadiens instead of a terrible UAA team.

        Maybe it's my natural affinity for Tech as an aerospace engineer (and a guy who has a very good friend who is Tech '03 or something), but I didn't feel bad about what Tech did to UAH on that Saturday night. Our guys quit, and I was mad at them. Tech was just playing hockey.

          I felt this same way on this dreadful night that will live in infamy as one of the very few in attendance watching the end of all things. Never really got mad at them, just depressed. I've been reminded of that game a couple times this season, being on the other side of it.
          Huskies are very intelligent and trainable. Huskies make an excellent jogging companion, as long as it is not too hot. Grooming is minimal; bathing is normally unnecessary.

            Its important to remember just how far this team has come...

            Legitimately one of the worst 2-3 teams in the country to one of the best 2-3 teams in the country. Boston or bust.

              That guy was acting like such a jerk that my wife was concerned for his safety.
              The way he was acting out she thought someone might deck him.
              The thing that probably saved him was he had his family with him.

                Cheering goals for his team that has pretty much sucked for 25 years?

                  I'm very nervous that MTU could take the lead in the WCHA after mankato and falter against NMU...

                    The way this team is rolling, NMU doesn't worry me. Deal with that when it comes. Besides, I don't think Mankato gets out of Bemidji with 4 points.

                    4 regular season games left. The McNaughton cup is in sights. A #1 seed in the NCAA's is within reach. We have more wins than any team in the country, and we've outscored our opponents by 36-4 in the last 6 games. I don't know if it has hit us yet, but this team is a legit national title contender if they keep playing at this level.

                      You're kinda preaching to the choir about a team maybe not being as successful as one would like for a series of years.
                      Check our record.
                      This guy was acting out not just being excited about goals being scored.
                      For the guys actions to make my wife have concerns for his safety leaves little doubt that he was out of line.
                      Congratulations on your teams very successful season.

                        great, now I've got to sacrifice another chicken and do the dance again. I only have so many chickens.

                          I'd hold off on that title contender talk. Tech hasn't been to the tournament in 34 years, none of these guys know what serious playoff hockey is like.

                            Will Dahlstrom be back in goal for them is really the question.

                              All I'm saying is he hasn't had much to cheer about for a LONG time, I obviously have no idea how obnoxious he was...for me personally I soubt I would have been too obnoxious since it was UAA but I know I would have been obnoxious in madison when they scored 8.

                                But that's in Madison. Obnoxious oozes from walls of the Kohl Center.
                                MTU Hockey fan since I was carried to a game in 1986 - for those counting... that's a lot of depressing hockey. Still love it.
