Ball State use to cover 100% of our league fees when I started 5 years ago. Now it's more like 75%. They gave us an additional $600 to cover the $820 we owed for Nationals. I know Ohio State barely...

To be fair, Western won the MCRHL playoff against us in D2 (There was a controversial no-goal in the final seconds but that's besides the point). If anything, we at Ball State were the second team to...

Yea, there's no way Ball State could move up. We're losing 4 of our 9 players (although we are retaining our top two scorers).

Someone said that if you go to Nationals in D2 this season you are required to move to D1? Did anyone else hear that?

Unfortunatley it's too hard to figure a SOS because no one really knows how good each conference is from year to year. Things are always changing.

Beezeral and the rest of Miami proved a point and then some... Now whether or not the tragic events to the Shuman boys was any motivation or gave them any extra momentum in unknown, we do know that a...

Not bad for a pair of teams with mediocre regular season records. Also not bad for the second alternate winning the National Title. Crazy...

We played against Miami in our pool and played right on...

Temps are suppose to be in the 50's and 60's... chance of rain most of the time.

And I like your prediction on a BSU/WMU xbox match Thumme lol

I'm sure BSU could field a team haha

Let me add though that it is better to be underrated and do well in the bottom half then to be overrated and do poorly in the top half.

Well, it does kinda of suck for us teams in the bottom half because the best we can hope for is #9. Especially when it's mostly based on perception of how strong each team is.

I noticed UC Santa Cruz dropped out and Miami took their place in our pool.

I was just clarifying what exactly was transpiring since it's relatively new what they're doing.

So essentially, being the top team in the lower 2 pools (#9) means you get to play the worst team from the top two brackets (#8) based on their pool play...?

Our school gave us 75% of our league fees. They haven't told me how much they'll give us for Nationals but when I talked to the guy in charge of it he said we would definitely get something.

Sorry to hear your school won't help out. Some schools are like that I guess. Fortunately for us, our school is being kind enough to give us a portion of our entry fee. The other thing that works in...

Does your school not give you any money at all? I know we don't get a lot, but we do get some. Did you consider fundraising or asking parents? You can find money if you try in my opinion.

I remember listening to some Grand Valley games a few years back...the radio quality (if they use the same thing they did then) was quite good actually along with the commentator.

So excited to be going! After going 6-43 my first three years with the club (with 3 of those wins being via forefit), it's so thrilling to be going to Nationals finally!

D1 Bids:

•Arizona State
•Brockport
•Buffalo
•Cal Poly San Luis Obispo
•Central Florida
•Central Michigan
•Eastern Michigan
•George Mason

Not that it's a big shock or anything with there being 9 teams, but here's the JC teams going...

•Santa Barbara City College
•West Valley College
•St. Louis Community College
•St. Charles...

Well Lindenwood handled all three teams pretty handily but I wouldn't say they stempeeded through Rutgers. One uncharacteristically bad period killed Michigan State in that game.

The MCRHL's divisions are set
