March 9, 2008

The Adrian College men's hockey squad might feel a sting for awhile as the NCAA Division III Men's Hockey Selection Committee has passed on the Bulldogs for entry into the 2007-08 national tournament. The season however has been one of exciting moments and memories that will last a lifetime for players and fans. Adrian finished the season with a 26-3 record and won their final 20 games en route to both a MCHA regular season and tournament titles.

Sounds like the 'Dogs have to prove themselves besides a very successful first season. Take it for what it is, it's disappointing but the selection committee isn't going to select them until they establish themselves. They'll be there next year if they continue off this very good season.

Without not knowing much about how the selection is done, I will agree that Adrian got boned. Losing Fogs was a pretty big loss for us, but it's great to see him succeeding. I'm sure he wouldn't switch jobs with DC.

Editing for language and moving... as this has nothing to do with BGSU Hockey.

Here's the explanation on the selection process in regards to Adrian:

It's rather lengthy, but does explain a lot!

Also, in case you didn't catch it, Mitch Albom pushed for the Adrian bid on ESPN:

I equate reading a post by MACMAN to going to a Klan Rally... I don't intend to attend either event. Not will I go to an Anne Coulter book signing

.

I am glad the administrator moved and edited this post for content. It was offensive. And I spend a lot of time on construction sites, so my ears are not made of china.

As my mother would say.... if you use foul language, it only shows your lack of education. Unfortunately there are times when my education is not used to its fullest.

FF - Thank you for the informative links. Adrian would be well-suited to strengthen their schedule and maybe attempt to join another conference. The committee is there to make sure that someone does not pad their schedule with weaker opponents - seemingly having an incredibule season - and come to the tournament and get spanked.... thereby embarassing themselves and cheapening the tournament. I don't think there was any underhandedness on Adrian's part, they are a young program and it will take time for them to schedule worthy opponents.

MACMAN is a ******** because he's so ***** ridiculous that he ***** everything up in all his posts and its a ***** mess that ***** up the whole forum which means this **** is **** up as well. I don't ******* understand it any better than the rest of you ******* but he is talking about teeny-weeny colleges playing hockey-hockey- so its understandable that he's so ***** off at this *** and he's ******raving on about it.
