As an add-on, let's not forget the Rudd Center for Nutrition & Obesity moving from Yale to UConn. Nothing should be left off the resume.
Last I checked, UConn PR is UCONN PR's job. Not the newspapers. And I assure you, Matt's post has f-all impact. It's meaningless.Dooley said:Now this is what I meant when I said that I wished that a member of the horde will write something as good as this. Thanks Matt! It's amazing (and incredibly frustrating) that the horde has to fill their UCONN CR profile pieces with jokes and negativity when there is SO much good stuff to highlight.
My point is that you put everything on your resume. It's new this year in addition to the new health center designation and shows a school increasing it's research reach across various subjects. Add that to...Let's forget the Rudd Center. If that's what we have to brag about, we don't have much to brag about.
The belief that because we are not in a P-5 conference it follows as the night the day as a matter of Carrollian logic that we did not sell ourselves properly to university presidents boggles my mind.

Biz, I luv ya....but that is the most tortured sentence I have ever tried to read.

Sounds like one too many classes with Clyde McKee.
What's not to like about sentences that are not positive? Or, something equally confusing.No, I blame Trinity for a lot but the multiple negative sentences is something I picked up from my mentor at work.
Thanks for your smug post. Nobody gives a flying crap about the WCHA because IT DOESN'T EXIST!!! Hockey East is the SEC of college hockey currently. That is a true statement. You can now crawl back into the hole that you came out of. You'd be better off trolling UofM Gopher boards. Thanks for your interest in UCONN Hockey.I applaud the mostly fine effort of this article and would love to see UConn in the BIG.
One major correction: "Hockey East is widely seen as the SEC of college hockey".
Do your research on the the WCHA until the BIG ruined it?
WCHA was a far more dominant conference than Hockey East and it will take years for Hockey East and any other college hockey conference to match its history, actual membership. Denver, Minnesota, Michigan at one point, Michigan State at one point, UND, Wisconsin, Colorado College, Minnesota Duluth, Michigan Tech. Are you kidding me here? That's just so many NCs. Even when Michigan and Michigan State left, the WCHA had the most consistency as college hockey's finest conference.
**The WCHA is the only conference to field the entire Frozen Four.
**They have put far more talent than any other hockey conference into the NHL. I believe last years top 20 in NHL scoring had 6 WCHA alum.
** The 1980 Miracle On Ice squad was almost entirely from the University of Minnesota.
**Even by the time Hockey East formed, the WCHA, on two occasions, won 5 NCS in a row (1979-1983 & 2002-2006). Hockey East's longest streak is 3: 2008-2010. Btw, before Hockey East formed, the WCHA once won 12 NCs in a row: 1955 to 1966.
In other words, the SEC, if lucky, is the WCHA, historically speaking, of college football.
It's a real shame the WCHA was destroyed, much like the Big East - it's frankly borderline disgusting and proves hockey has very little influence in this country. I could never see the SEC folding in football.
Hockey East's hype is a product of Boston media. No more, no less. Ultimately most its NCs come from BC or Boston U - Hockey East is still a two team league.
The historical proof to my arguments are readily available for research. It's called Wikipedia, where sport's stats are hard to deny.
Wait. You mean the stuff we put on this board is meaningless? Wow, I guess I can stop waiting for a Pulitzer.Last I checked, UConn PR is UCONN PR's job. Not the newspapers. And I assure you, Matt's post has f-all impact. It's meaningless.
