tl;dr Everybody…take a chill pill.
BUGS has beaten teams they should beat and has been beaten by better teams. They’re a .500 team at best which is likely where they would have landed last year without all the extracurricular activities. I’m not convinced they’re significantly improved though their new coach appears to be the real deal. If (when) this CHL thing goes through, watch out. BUGS is a top-10/15 destination for these kids. Until then, they’re a 3rd quartile pairwise team which is where they traditionally are.
The Buckeyes sweep of Wisconsin looked impressive but it now looks like the Badgers will finish last in the B1G. OSU’s other wins are against bottom feeders. I think the jury is still out on these guys, get back to me in a month.
Remember that while Bergeron recruited solid Miami men who have represented the University with Love and Honor, their talent level wasn’t up to NCHC standards. This year is nothing more than a write-off, but give Noreen some time. He’s doing the right things and comparing where we are with the other state schools a month into the season doesn’t mean much.
Back to lurking.
