If you want to see belligerence, look no further than the post just prior to this one.
Further, if your actions are so easily influenced by others, you may be demonstrating some weakness of character.
Seems to end that argument right now, no?Also consider that part of the Big Ten's interest in creating a hockey conference is tied to the Big Ten Network. College hockey is an ideal Friday night programmer for a network that has little to sell advertisers on Friday nights.
"That obviously adds many possibilities for exposure for the sport, and revenues," Maturi said. "So that will be part of the equation, as well."
Where did I read exactly that in this thread. Think think think, hmmm.....no97 wrote:http://www.twincities.com/gophers/ci_16486562

Gee, you are right. What were we thinking. I mean a guy who ascended to the position of Athletic Director of a major university, in the conference we are talking about, with direct knowledge and facts on all of the things we've been debating clearly has no knowledge or information pertinent to this discussion because he hired a guy as footbal coach who didn't pan out as planned, because everyother AD in the country has a perfect hiring record for head coaches in all sports..... MY dad always told me you can't fight stupid because you will lose every time, your wisdom has never faile dad. Thanks..... I'm done........WayOutWest wrote:no97 wrote: "That obviously adds many possibilities for exposure for the sport, and revenues," Maturi said. "So that will be part of the equation, as well."

Uh....no.
Expert analysis, from the guy that brought you Tim Brewster, ends an argument?????? Wow!

I'll put five bucks on THAT not being true.........as well. Forgetting the whole discussion about if revenue will work out or not, you sure seemed adament that the BTHC wasn't going to happen either way, correct? If Maturi (and the other AD's including Tim Curley plus Jim Delany) think that revenue will be generated, you have to at least admit at this point that, at minimum, creation of the BTHC is a virtual lock, no? Because I'd hate to be them when the President/Board/Regents/etc. come calling and they say, "so, you had this deal that you thought would make us more money, in a time where we keep getting destroyed at the legislative funding level, and you said, 'no thanks?'" Good luck with that theory...WayOutWest wrote:JSR wrote: Thanks..... I'm done........
And, you are implying that Maturi made a mistake. All AD's make occasional mistakes. Absolutely right!!! But you are sure-fired positive he didn't make a mistake on his revenue prediction for a BTHL?
And you question other folks' intelligence? How odd.
Virtual lock? No. Not yet.no97 wrote:..., you have to at least admit at this point that, at minimum, creation of the BTHC is a virtual lock, no?

Holy crap are you really this dense, or did you fail reading comprehension? I don't need proof of "more money" when it comes to this point since, you know, we're talking about what Maturi thinks, and since he said he thinks more revenue can be generated by Big 10 hockey on the Big 10 Network (or did you skip the bolded part of the article above?).WayOutWest wrote:Virtual lock?

And once again, where is your proof of "more money?"
Okay, maybe one AD, but there are now quotes from Maturi, Curley and Alvarez all saying they think the same thing (not to mention Lucia, Gwozdecki and McLeod). Are you really telling me that you know more than they do?WayOutWest wrote:Maturi "thought" Brewster would be an excellent choice to lead the Gopher football program to new heights, as well. Less than two years into a shiny new stadium, he now struggles to fill it.
Basing decisions on what AD's "think" is also by no means a "lock".........ever.
So we ARE talking about pure speculation.no97 wrote:I don't need proof of "more money" when it comes to this point since, you know, we're talking about what Maturi thinks, and since he said he thinks more revenue can be generated by Big 10 hockey on the Big 10 Network Okay, maybe one AD, but there are now quotes from Maturi, Curley and Alvarez all saying they think the same thing
Nope, try again. "Pure speculation" would be the media pontificating on what Maturi (or Curley or Alvarez) think. It's a fact that he believes it himself.WayOutWest wrote:So we ARE talking about pure speculation.no97 wrote:I don't need proof of "more money" when it comes to this point since, you know, we're talking about what Maturi thinks, and since he said he thinks more revenue can be generated by Big 10 hockey on the Big 10 Network Okay, maybe one AD, but there are now quotes from Maturi, Curley and Alvarez all saying they think the same thing
Of course.
Congrats.
That, and a quarter, might get you a cup of coffee.
Again.........zero proof of any additional revenue to be had.
Or, did you have something of substance to share that you had been hiding all this time?
LOL. And you think I have comprehension issues.no97 wrote:It's a fact that he believes it himself.
Where did you hear this Muley...mulefarm wrote:Heard Lucia might become Big Ten hockey commissioner. Great news for gopher program if it happens.
I saw that. I'm sure wayoutwest still believes a BTHC will not happen.... LOL
Wonder if Illinois and Indiana will opt up from the ACHA division 1. Doubt it, but you never know.old goalie85 wrote:Well I hope the gophs can win a big ten title... Some day. This is a great thing for collage hockey!!!! Way to go Penn State. I hope the Non hockey schools follow.
He will never admit. Wayoutwest probably still thinks it is all just conjecture and won't happen... LOL It is happening and it is happeneing just like we all said i would in the fashion we said it would and for the reasons we said it would.....no97 wrote:WayOutWest:

I've actually read some articles (will try and find them) since PSU made the announcement that when the BTHC came to fruition that Illinois and Indiana would both likely start trying to attract donors and work toward fielding D1 teams before 2020clutterbuck22 wrote:Wonder if Illinois and Indiana will opt up from the ACHA division 1.
