We are ...This is a golden age for DU sports, folks. We are the best non-football D-I athletic dept. in the country for fourth year in a row - amazing for a 12th year program, when you consider how far our teams travel for games.<br /><br />Nine of our 17 programs made the NCAA tournament last year. Hockey, Skiing and Men's Lacrosse are near the very pinnacle of their sports. Both M and W Soccer programs, gymnastics, and tennis, and golf programs are NCAA tourney level programs, too. Swimming, women's lax and both basketball program are getting closer to NCAA level programs, too.<br /><br />DU is finally getting out of the far-flung Sun Belt and into a WAC conference where at least the competing teams are somewhat closer. It's not ideal, but its the best move DU could make under the circumstances.<br /><br />School spirit is bursting out on campus to its highest levels in years, with people shouting the fight song and standing on bar tables during the NCAA lax run. Unbelievable. A new Boone leading the charge. An improved pep band, whiteouts, grilling society, dance teams, cheer squad, fight song and bigger student turnouts are changing the game day experience for the better. Even new bars like Crimson and Gold and The Pioneer are helping to generate better on-campus game day atmosphere.<br /><br />DU players carry a 3.3 avg athletic GPA, and are graduating at an 80-90% rate. And while they aren't all saints, there hasn't been any DU athlete arrested in years. DU athletes are recruited for character, and most of them are great representatives for DU.<br /><br />This new hockey conference move is another strong move that enhances the DU hockey experience, with a much more attractive home schedule on the way.<br /><br />Kudos to Peg, Ron Grahame, Gwoz, Tierney and the rest of the DU team for really make things happen on the Hilltop and getting fantastic results.<br /><br />It's great to be.....A Denver Pioneer!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-86316245823809005152011-07-09T17:40:36.686-06:002011-07-09T17:40:36.686-06:00i feel for the teams left behind, but having NoDak...i feel for the teams left behind, but having NoDak, Miami, UMD, CC, and UNO on the annual schedule is going to make games at magness 100 times more appealing to students and locals than UAA, StCloud, Bemidji, Mankato, and Tech.<br /><br />A great move for increasing attendance and interest during the regular season.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-89873301302484492812011-07-09T17:35:16.619-06:002011-07-09T17:35:16.619-06:00omaha is a boring choice for sure, but pretty cent...omaha is a boring choice for sure, but pretty central and has a killer arena. and 'just' an 8 hour drive from denver through the worst area in the country...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-60279380766472847792011-07-09T17:28:42.473-06:002011-07-09T17:28:42.473-06:00This move helps DU increase its potential as a des...This move helps DU increase its potential as a destination program in a top level conference.<br /><br />Without UM and UW, the WCHA was headed for mediocrity, bloated with too many cash-strapped programs who were either unwilling or unable to spend top level dollars to sustain top level hockey, and who were not attractive drawing cards in Denver, either.<br /><br />DU did what it had to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-22576784937414427352011-07-09T16:52:55.754-06:002011-07-09T16:52:55.754-06:00Omaha?
