    Except for Red, of course.

    We may not see this group again, so take a picture while you can.

    Red's endangered only because Florida is calling his name.

    Otherwise, spoken like a Tech fan, with a hint less bitterness.

      Oh you'll you'll get a dose of bitterness if Jamie and Scott go and Rick stays.

          Wasn't it 3.5 years ago that State won a national title? Do Spartan fans really have any reason to be that bitter? The football team is back from the dead, the basketball team is an annual contender, and the hockey program (save for 08/09 when they were injured a lot) has been competitive, even if they aren't winning hardware every season. Am I missing something? Has Comley whizzed in too many people's Cheerios?

          EDIT: As for this year's opening round, I'm gonna go with the score of the UM/Tech game being 6-1 or 7-1 Michigan.

              I don't know if Michigan can score 6 on anyone. But before the Big Chill, I would not have thought we could put up 5 on anybody, either.

              I think Comley is safe for a while, FTR.

                Re: GLI 2010 - Or - Battle of the Endangered Coaches

                I have a solution to this problem. The non-winners at the GLI (so, basically, everyone but Michigan) will have a drawing. Three pieces of paper will go into a hat, one with the name of Russell, one with Owens, one with Comely. The ADs from CC, MTU, and MSU will each get a turn to draw a name out of the hat. That coach is now the head coach at that school, and there is only a 33% chance that you will end up with the coach you have now going into the second half. Nobody really loses out, since you have two successful college hockey coaches and one coach who at one point had major coaching potential as an assistant at a Frozen Four school.

                Does this mean that I would trade Russell for Owens or Comely? Well, that is one question that I will not answer here :P

                  CC is playing well as of late however. That certainly bodes well for Scotty Owens.

                    Well, his last two and a half years he's got an 11th place finish, a 2nd place finish with a two game sweep in the playoffs at the hands of Michigan that kept them out of the NCAA's and he's in 10th this year at the halfway point. Not what Spartan fans are used to.

                    A Big 10 school that takes hockey seriously (read: not Ohio State in recent years) should be at least a tournament team once in three years. Comley's a few losses away from just that.

                        If they can score six on anyone, it's us. Don't forget, last year's Spartan team got to double digits! *****http://planetsmilies.net/vomit-smiley-31.gif******

                          Season high so far is 7 against Lake State. Scored 6 against Nebraska-Omaha and 5 at Alaska, vs Notre Dame and the Big Chill.

                            If we start Cramer, I'd say another double OT game

                            However, we will not....so final score against UofM, I say 7-2...

                              Let's see...

                              Period 1

                              As determined by the outcome of a Rock-Paper-Scissors contest (since it really doesn't matter), Genoe will start. Just like his idol Patrick Roy, the Curse of Game 7 will cause him to knock the puck into his own net to open the scoring for the Wolverines. Less than two minutes later, he'll give up a laugher from center ice to make it 2-0. He'll get the hook and Robinson will come in, only to find out that the team has already quit and promptly hangs him out to dry on the next U of M powerplay to make it 3-0 before he even has a chance to make one save. He also quits. Michigan pretends to let us back into the game when they give us a late powerplay and Seigo snipes one from the blueline. The horn sounds on the first period, and I rush off to purchase my second Molson of the night.

                              Period 2

                              *indecipherable beer-induced expletives*


                              The horn sounds, and it's 7-1 Wolverines. Time for a third Molson.

                              Period 3

                              Red calls off the troops. Nevertheless, Robinson demonstrates his own scoring touch when he fires a slapshot down the ice, watches it careen around the boards, back down to his end, and he gets back in net just in time to let it go five-hole. I don the paper bag, and MeanEgirl kicks me in the shins.

                              8-1 Final

                              I am later sighted in an alley behind the Lafayette Coney Island, smoking the finest Detroit crack I could lay my hands on, and howling at the moon.
