I read on Twitter that our old friend Marcus Blossom has invited his basketball hire to come on out here to the Midwest to get flogged by Creighton in November. Unbelievable! You can't make this stuff up.

FYI, Creighton is preseason favorite to win Big East and ranked #9 in AP preseason poll.

FYI, Creighton is preseason favorite to win Big East and ranked #9 in AP preseason poll. That's exactly why we have NO business playing them! |

Might be a guarantee game.

Might be a guarantee game. I should hope so--we could find a place to get thrashed for free much closer to Worcester. |

Creighton is a perfect scheduled game, nobody wants to see Dean & Colby-Sawyer. One reason that home attendance is poor because it went down when we joined the PL.
We need games like Providence, Umass, Uconn, St. John's, Seton Hall & Georgetown, no more Div 3 games.

We need games like Providence, Umass, Uconn, St. John's, Seton Hall & Georgetown, no more Div 3 games. I agree with you on the Dean Colby-Sawyer games but the reason why we play them and the reason attendance is down is because our team is bad. We are terrible. Haven't you been watching? Sorry but the team that is assembled this year is no better. We may have a tough time beating Dean. Saving grace is the program may get a little money from Marcus on the way out the door. |

I personally dont see anything wrong with a single guarantee game a year, regardless of bad a team might be. Not much to lose; everyone expects a thrashing. Kids like to play them. Assume Creighton's good for the cash.

We’ve gotten our butts kicked by a lot of teams over the last decade, usually for free and against a team no one cares about. We’re going to get paid this time and it’s a team people care about. Sign me up.

I just hope we didn't pay either UMass Boston or Williams a guarantee to come to the Hart and beat us.

I'm thinking of this guarantee as Blossom's way of repaying the fee for the search firm that brought him to HC in the first place.

I want 5 pay games per year-thrashing or otherwise it will help recruiting and the program
rebuilding one year at a time takes too long
get a top 75 schedule and we can get it done in 3 years

I don't know much about our current crop of kids, but a few years back, it was not uncommon for players to have social media profile pictures of themselves in a game against a big name team |
