  • MSU Spartans 2016-17 (Volleyball Looks Like a Legit Alternative)

    It's going to be a very long season. So I'm trying to come up with some fall/winter project ideas that will take until our icers notch their 5th win.

    Don't you have a Club team? Aren't they decent for Club status? Well, scrap that idea. I just looked and they are also a sub-.500 team (both d2 and d3 squads) but they're not as bad as your big team. That also begs the question, how did you get d2 & d3 squads? That's serious question.

      I remember when I used to look forward to the start of the season.

        Based on going through the MSU schedule, you may be working on spring cleaning before that happens. I'm setting the over/under for overall Spartan wins at 8.5, and I recommend the under.

          Really not a bad question, all things considered. I believe it's by mutual agreement with their ACHA peers ... but don't quote me on that. Anybody want to field this one? It may be as compelling a thread as anything ice-related at the varsity level .

          Add: The intermission programming promises fun for the whole family. Plus this season, it could be cool to be able to carry on a conversation with the guy in the opposite stands without means of a mobile device.

              I think this team could lose 30 games easilly.

                Somehow you guys got three votes in the USCHO poll... how that happens I don't know.

                  I knew guys that played on the D2 and D3 teams. D2 guys were obviously better, but both levels appeared to have the same level of time commitment. As far as I know, there isn't a special waiver or anything you need from the ACHA to have more than one club team, you just need the bodies to have a second team. Looks like Michigan just added a second club team too, so they now compete at the D2 and D3 levels.

                      Stop the presses!

                      They must have been looking at minutiae like lack of scoring, 11 freshmen, new goalie, things like that.

                        I forgot about hockey until yesterday. That snuck up really quickly.

                        I see that morale is up and we're ready for a big year!

                        I will be excited to see the team play, actually. I mean, I predict I will be excited until I watch us have to grind it out against our Canadian cupcake like most other recent years but that's 5 entire days from now.

                          Looks like BGSU will be playing you guys next year in a home and home. Good to see MSU finally agreeing to this as opposed to a 2 for 1. Now if only UM and ND would see the light.

                            Somehow you think either ND or U-M values that match-up. Seeing the light suggests that your program suddenly raises the PWR values for these teams to schedule over and above other programs that don't complain about the agreements.

                              About time. I have no clue why we're not scheduling annual home-and-homes with BGSU and WMU.
