In referrence to the glass being half full instead of everyone being so negative. 57% means it is now more then half full.

So now you're ripping off a Scooby gimmick? I think that one comes from the book of "How to Not Win Friends and Influence People on USCHO."

Final 3-1 for the Friars.

My Falcons came out flying in the first period but did not sustain the energy. Now I'm thinking we might win one before Jaunary.

I happened to be sitting pretty much in line with shot that yielded the GWG. It looked as though there were 15 bodies in the way.

BG had an interesting lineup change: McIntosh, a forward, played defense. Last season, attrition left the team with only five D-men, and McIntosh played defense late in the season. We've now got the usual complement of eight, but Coach Williams presumably thought only five were good enough to play.

Lead by example

You're going to be waging this pom-pom shaking campaign by yourself for a long while, because a few October wins don't erase the last 4 seasons of ineptitude from this coach -- and last year in particular. ONLY ONE OF THE WORST SEASONS IN THE HISTORY OF THIS PROGRAM. Where were you during it? Oh right, not here, that's for sure.

You want fans to get excited? How about winning games in-conference, not collapse in the month of February (like Army's teams do every year), and not just get into the playoffs (which by itself is not much of an accomplishment), but actually win a playoff round. And how about making up the 30 game hole just to get a .500 coaching record.

Until then, your post-game "glass is rising" comments, especially for OCTOBER hockey games, are ridiculous given the overall context of where this program is at. That's not being a naysayer, it's being realistic. And I think a lot of people believe Army would've been fired by this point if they didn't extend his deal through 2013 (for reasons nobody still, to date, has been able to provide a rational explanation for). If he was under his initial contract right now he wouldn't be here. Again, that's reality.

So be happy your guy is still in charge, but don't expect people to vote him Coach of the Year until he actually produces a full season -- perhaps even two in a row -- where fans have reason to. It's not like he just stepped in and all of a sudden the last 4 years are gone. This program's lowly stature, at the moment, is to a degree his doing...and it's going to take an awful lot to undo it.

Hokydad and Dirty really have to start posting on the same thread. That's going to be a riot.
