    Re: UNH Wildcats 2017-2018 Season - The Quest Continues

    Dan, did it ever occur to you the "schedule makers" might have thought that UNH is a stronger team overall than Stony Brook? UNH had to beat the #4 seed today. Hardly a scheduling gift.

        Schedule makers everywhere doing their best for the Wildcats this year!!

        Great win for UNH in any case though. Not sure the bracket is that cupcake because UNH probs would have to face JMU if they get by SDSU!

            Did it ever occur to you I was making a joke?

            Sense you're in a serious mood, however, I never implied that UCA was a scheduling gift - but avoiding JMU until as late in the tournament as possible certainly is for ANY team.

            Did it ever occur to me that the tournament committee thought UNH (4 losses, loss to SBU, shut out by Albany and squarely on the bubble in the final week) was a better team entering the tournament than SBU (2 losses, One at #23 FBS USF, beat UNH head-to-head)? No and it still hasn't. They'd be crazy to have thought so. I'm sure they have their reasons for team placement however...

            Likely those reasons were geographically financial (bus vs fly) and it benefitted UNH greatly. I watched the game and am rooting for UNH as much as anyone. Recognizing their good fortune doesn't mean otherwise. Playing UCA, instead of JMU gave them a chance to advance. Congrats to them for being good enough to capitalize.

            I think they can beat SDSU. They won't beat JMU. And the biggest difference between their tournament experience and SBUs will be the draw. As an objective fan I can deal with that, raise the question and still be thrilled with the result...

              Really nice first goal of the season! No one that I would rather see score that one.

                  Hahaha, you snapped at me and I need to chill for responding with the resumes? If you didn't want to discuss who had the better season between UNH and SBU, or where they were sent, you should have chilled instead of snapping...

                    For those still playing the home game (old Robin Williams joke) we are hanging in there 1-0. Decent 2nd period. Much better play tonight. Here's hoping we can hold on for the 3rd! Go 'Cats!!

                      Yes, great game. Zebras calling lots of questionable on both sides. But, UNH PK still getting it done. Need a great third.

                        I didn't snap. You just seem to look for everything bad about UNH. Go back and look at your previous posts.

                          So what you're saying here is you missed the joke, overreacted and now, after my post with objective information, want no part of a real discussion about seeding so you're going to change the subject and target me...? Haha, got it!

                          Yeah, as someone who cares about the program's success, when hockey is a mess most of my hockey posts aren't going to drip with positivity. I'm young enough to remember what I've posted. I call it like I see it - usually after a lot of research.

                          In the meantime, I'll stop making jokes or offering objective responses to direct questions about the DII (we decided on DII right? JK! JK!) football program since I don't care nearly as much as some others.

                          Sorry ecat if I ruined the win for you! When I referenced the schedule maker joke I made last week with a joke based on a simple observation this week, I really only meant to ruin it for scoreboard...
