I'm not putting miami down at all, because their program is unreal, but what he could build at osu is greater than what is at miami.
    Your first post - and you throw out that Blasi is going through a bad divorce???? Evidence??

        You obviously don't follow much college hockey, do you? In the last 12 meetings, OSU is 5-7 against UM, so I wouldn't say you "own" us. Nice try, though. If you want to talk about ownership, check out our record against UM in football/men's & women's basketball with the current coaches (Tressel/Matta/Foster).

        As for the topic at hand, I had made a comment about hiring an assistant earlier and am surprised I wasn't villified like Sterling. At the end of the day, we all just want the best guy for the job, and we want someone who will get us to the level that programs like Miami, Michigan, etc. are at. There's no excuse for Ohio State to not be able to get to that level. I realize and agree that for us to get to that level, it will take more of a commitment from the athletic department than they have made in the past (ie. no more kicking our team out of their own building for hs wrestling, or better yet, build them their own arena). I have to believe the athletic department is willing to make that commitment.

          Bitter UM folks...clinging to their last remaining sport they compete in...

              Guilty? Not really. Markell's teams were not consistently winning. His contract was not renewed.

              And where the heck was the Dispatch all season? Where were the Dispatch reporters when the team was being forced to play post season games at the ice rink?

                It made me feel sorry for the poor folks in Columbus who have to suffer through sports writing that is as poor as that column. The folks leaving comments are pretty much spot on.

                  Key quote in the article. "OSU's conference-champion men's basketball team had one sellout this season."

                  No way Blasi takes the OSU job. If & when he leaves, he's going to Michigan, Minnesota or BU.

                  OSU is the last "sleeping giant" in college hockey now that Notre Dame has returned to prominence and has a new barn on the way. Its an attractive job for that reason. OSU just needs a coach that can recruit.

                  The writing was on the wall for Markell earlier in the season when they played DU in the Blue Jackets Arena and less than 500 fans showed up.

                    I think what the article is saying is that this situation is a bit more complicated than a coach dragging down a blossoming program...If OSU wants a champion team they need to commit to doing what it takes to have one. This could be the next step in that direction or it could be all for show.

                    Either way, the mis-steps of the Dept. in the past have facilitated OSU's stagnation and they deserve part of the blame for the last 5 years. We should hold them accountable as well, especially if they don't commit to the type of change they give lip-service to in this press release.
                    OSU - we got nuts.

                      Minnesota, BU/BC and DU would be the likely locations for a post-Miami Blasi. Michigan's certainly an attractive job, but leaving for an in-conference rival would kill his Miami legacy. At least in this alum's mind.

                      I just hope Maturi loses his phone number if Lucia is not renewed after next season (I think that's all he has left on his deal). Of course Dean Blais will likely be on speed dial as well.

                        Well, that and the fact that Michigan has two coaches in waiting for whenever Red retires (within the next couple years, max).

                          Miami doesn't HAVE any money to spend. Say this again with me real slow: Miami's athletic department loses 2 dollars for every dollar it generates. There is no cash reserve with which to go to war. There is no cash! Ohio State's check last year from the Big Ten Network (22 million) alone was larger than your entire money losing athletic department.

                          Yes, you are currently the premier hockey school in Ohio. How long you hold that crown remains to be seen.

                            Why would Blasi go to OSU when he's just sitting around waiting for the Minnesota job to open up?

                              Shhh we don't speak of such things . If all the Minnesota fans are correct about Lucia netting $750k+ Rico would be an idiot to not sleep long and hard on that one.
