Message: [QUOTE="RSTuthill, post: 2520105, member: 7322"] Get out your media guide if you have one. You will change your tune. Were you ever there in those days? Because I was and I can tell you that you are way off the mark. Btw, UConn was never D3. They played a D3 schedule adhering to both D3 and D1 rules which disadvantaged them. The conference was ECAC East, which was, with the ECAC West, at the top level of D3. Marshall's two predecessors, John Chapman and Ben Kirtland, back to 1960, had [I][B]half a dozen[/B][/I] winning seasons in [I][B]twenty eight[/B][/I]. In his first five seasons Marshall's teams went 6-21, 15-11-1, 18-7-2, 22-4-2 (RS champions, runner up in the tournament), and 19-6-2. In the second year of the MAAC they won the MAAC championship. The only other team that had zero rides in the MAAC was HC. And that was the situation almost all the way through their AHA days. Everyone else had four and later more as the limit was increased. Furthermore, UConn was prohibited by Federal law at the time from giving need based aid to foreign students. That included Canadians. The rosters in those days were almost entirely New England preps and their freshmen were typically 18 or 19 years old. Are you getting the picture? [/QUOTE]
