Re: Flacons land Jose Delgadillo Defenseman

The USHL is a joke when you typically recruit the bottom level talent out of it. If you're a big name program that can attract a top end talent from the USHL then it's a great league to build from, but that's historically not our case, so I get what JP is implying, I think. Now I'm not saying this k...

Re: BG vs. Alaska Weekend!

The fact people are even getting frustrated and venting their opinions is a good sign to me....at least it shows people are still out there that care and support this program through thick and thin. I'm not going to argue that Coach B isn't doing a good job or wasn't the right man for the job becaus...

Re: Friday Night @ LSSU

Wow, what a win! Safe to say that these types of games in the past would normaly have resulted in a L. Coach B certainly has the guys competing at the level needed to win on a weekly basis, now we need some of that skill to start shinning through, which in time it will! I feel like I'm still holding...

Re: WCHA Bound???

"Personally, I like the "time machine" idea. I think I saw something out by the dumpster on the old tennis courts that looks alot like a "flux capacitor". Since we're fresh out of DeLoreans, perhaps we could install it into the backup zamboni...but then we'd never be able to...

Re: WCHA Bound.

The one thing I read in the whole article that kind of made me happy was the fact no time limit was set on our WCHA membership. My feelings is this could just be a stopping place for a couple of years for our program while the rest of college hockey plays out. If the NCHC falls flat on its face, or ...

Re: WCHA Bound???

While I'm relieved we've finally found a conference to play in beyond next season, I can't help but feel sadened. This is either the re-birth of BGSU hockey, or the death of it. I don't see much middle ground and certainly hope this isn't the case, but should we end up being the doormats of the WCHA...

Re: WCHA Bound???

I think Kevin Gordon is generally a pretty good reporter of all things Falcon hockey but I have to say I completely disagree with the way his article was written. It seemed more like rambling and frustrated opinions of fans on this forum then anything else. He did make some valid points, but left to...

Re: First Press Conference of the Year!

IMO Coach nailed that interview! You could feel the passion in the first bit and the chip on the shoulder. Loved everything he had to say and especially the part about having the best four years of your life. Let's hope we see some serious improvements! And that has to be the best track suit I've ev...

Re: WCHA Bound???

OSU has history, sure. I'm not debating that. I'm just looking at the state of the conference over the past 5 years or so. However, when I think college hockey schools, Ohio State isn't on my immediate list of schools that I consider at the top. Boston College, North Dakota, Michigan, Michigan Stat...

Re: WCHA Bound???

That, and who said OSU was a big name hockey school? Michigan? sure. MSU? Sure. Miami? Only recently. Notre Dame, yep. OSU, nope. We've enjoyed competition with some of the best teams in the nations while in the CCHA. Let's just not pretend that our crap doesn't stink and think that we are too good...

Re: WCHA Bound???

@pdt1081 .....I wouldn't disagree with you for one second on that statement... so how is that a positive again then? Listen, I'm not against joining those schools/conference if it means the program can win again, but the feedback on here would suggest people wouldn't come out to see Mankato State, R...

Re: WCHA Bound???

@toddpav...don't take this the wrong way but if you think the left over's from the WCHA and schools like Air Force and RIT constitute "name" schools after having the likes of OSU, MSU, U of M and Miami roll through the previous 20 + years as part of conference play, I'm not sure what to te...

Re: WCHA Bound???

I think if there is one thing we can all agree on it's that Terry Pegula is the best/worst thing to come along and happen to College hockey in some time, depending on how you look at it. Without Terry, the BTHC probably doesn't exists, not for right now anyways, and PSU doesn't have a program withou...

Re: WCHA Bound???

It is absolutely amazing how fast the tune is changing among fans on this board. At first it was, we don't want to play those no-name schools, no fans will come watch Canisius et al play at home, our league won't mean anything now, that we're BGSU like it means anything and that we have history, a N...

Re: WCHA Bound???

Who is assuming anything? I must have missed the comment about not knowing what's going on or questioning anyones fan'hood? I don't donate to the program or have season tickets and I certainly don't rub elbows with the higher up's so I guess that makes my opinion mean less. Relax Gmartin, everyon is...
