      I get why some folks might think this. However, I supported Tech when they were semi-successful in the mid-90s. I supported them when they barely won a dozen games over three seasons combined. I support them today. I'll support them in the future. I'm not on and off the bandwagon every time their fortunes change. I have a position on the subject and I stick with it. The same logic can be applied to other subjects as well.

      Folks can call it what they like, butt it isn't going to hurt my feelings. I'm not going to change my opinion every other week, or tell two people different answers like a politician so everyone can get the answer they want to hear. If someone presents information some day that shows certain changes in college hockey were anything other than completely self-serving, something other than a couple teams that we not getting their way, didn't like that they were in the minority, were upset that they couldn't always steer the ship they way they wanted it to go, so they took their puck and went home rather than staying and working to solve the issues at hand... well then I'll be more than happy to reevaluate my position on said subject.

        Well sure but you know all the whining about it in the world won't change anything. To me, it's about what comes next and how do we address it as a hockey community. That's the value in going over the past, so that you don't make the same type of mistakes going forward.

          I really wish someone from Tech or Anchorage would write a response to this series. Either confirming or refuting. It's pretty well known that another realignment is coming. Being able to present the information to donors as a "this is why we got left behind last time" could lead to a decent fundraising campaign. Ferris or Lake Superior could do the same from a CCHA perspective (we at BG know the circumstances surrounding the team at that time).

            I think one of the problems with that is one of the main players from those schools is dead, iirc. Didn't Steve Cobb die a few years ago? He seems to have been at the center of the disagreement between some of the bigger schools and the smaller schools.
            That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

              Was just about to post about this. Yeah, Cobb died a few years ago after being fired as the AD. Was going to say that getting some perspective from the Anchorage end would be hard as Cobb is dead, Shyiak was fired, and a few others at UAA have retired.

                    One of the things that Schlossman said during a tv interview on Saturday night was that it was actually relatively easy to get the involved parties to talk about it because most of them had retired or moved on, and accordingly, were less hesitant to talk about schools where they were currently employed.

                      Bemidji is newer to the league, but one of the Pioneer guys (Hitts might be interested, even though he's moved on) might take it on.

                        • I for one felt this was a mistake at first. Wcha was a great conference but honestly now I'm glad it happened. I felt it was a wake up call at MSU. We are a D1 hockey school sure but we weren't invested in it. Hastings obviously helped but so did the shake up. Also if the NCHC hadnt formed we eould probably be taking about it forming soon. It was going to happen eventually.

                          I hope MSU stays and WCHA just builds a new tradition.

                            Most interesting to me is how significant Miami was to the formation of the NCHC. Around that time Chris Bergeron said something like "You think you have friends" in college hockey, which was taken to be a poke at Miami. Miami's role can be seen not only as a knife in Bergeron's back but a twist as well. (BG's program was near its low point then.)

                              Bergeron wasn't upset about the formation of the NCHC, or BG being left out. He was upset that his "friend," Blasi, didn't have the professional courtesy to give him a phone call and tell him what was happening. He heard about it just like the rest of us.
