We go down to NMU 0-1 last night. That's it! I'm done with Markell coached hockey for good. I thought that I couldn't witness a more pathetic example of poor coaching and player development, this side of Charlie Weis, than Ohio State's season a few back when we were pre-season #1 and promptly proceeded to curl into the fetal position for the entire season. This year is just as bad.
Once again, I'm watching young, highly sought after talent actually get worse in their second and third years. I'm watching them play with less cohesion and passion than they did as freshmen. Bring on Paul Pooley. Yes, I know that he didn't do well in his first HC gig at Providence, but a lot of great coaches have stumbled the first time in the big chair. He's lit up the CCHA at Notre Dame and would have infinitely more resources at Ohio STate than he did at Providence. Won't you come home Paul Pooley! If it gets me a 14 day ban so be it, but Markell has got to go because Markell guarantees continued stagnation and underachievement in this program.

Buckeyes down 2-3 in the 3rd. NMU breaking out the broom.
Meanwhile Fredo is on the verge of sweeping Michigan at Yost--something that I believe we have never done in the last dozen years.

Looks like Miami really roughed them up - winning 5-1. ORD - I ask this not to taunt (because UGA doesn't even have a club team) but is Miami of Ohio now the team to beat in the division?

It'll be interesting to see if Michigan makes a run at Fredo's coach when Berenson retires. Blasi is a Fredo alum, but you have to imagine that the Michigan job would intrigue him--all time top 5 program, best arena atmosphere in college hockey (and over twice the size of Fredo's little shoebox arena) and the resources of UM's athletic department. If that happens, I can see Fredo head down the path that Bowling Green did when York left for a big time (BC) program. Even with a national championshipp BG didn't have the program stability or athletic department resources to sustain things and slipped back into mediocrity.

Certainly makes sense. I always wondered why smaller schools with limited resources just didn't go "all-in" on one specific program. The blueprint is there and it's worked for a lot of little schools. Maine, Denver, UND, Vermont in Hockey Gonzaga, Xavier in hoops Boise in Football Just to name a few - it seems like this would be the best way to generate revenue, recognition and titles. But then - looking at the CCHA website - Lake Superior State did the same thing and they are floundering. So what do I know? Last edited by BigWoof31; 11-08-2009 at 06:11 PM.

i agree with ord generally speaking though. um/msu, then und as far as hierarchy of tradition. bg certainly had a run, and still has a bunch of nhl players. miami is a hot team right now, yet not on the level of um or sparty. http://www.ontariohockeyleague.com/ ohl website. ohl is one of the three major chl (jr) leagues in canada. along with the q (qmjhl) and whl. the chl produces the vast majority of nhl players.

 , I just can't see Blasi leaving Fredo for Ohio State. He's got too good of a thing going down there at ...of Ohio, and we'd need to open up the bank account in a way that I just don't see us doing in order to have the slightest shot.Michigan is on another level than us when it comes to hockey in terms of tradition, resources, student support, arena atmosphere and in-state hockey culture. Plus, for all but the most kool-aid drinking Fredoites, leaving for Michigan would be understandable; whereas leaving for Ohio State would be seen as a slap in his alma mater's face.

Buckeyes took two from (last place) Western Michigan this past weekend. The key, however, will be to see if they can carry that momentum over to the next series against a much better Ferris State team followed by a Thanksgiving weekend game against traditional national power North Dakota.
Carryover, whether from a good season to the next or from a good weekend to the next...or even from a strong Friday showing to the next night's game has always been lacking in Markell coached teams. I'm very curious to see how the next three games pan out.
