She has...Peg does not have a vision of mediocrity.<br /><br />She has had some amazing success at DU since her arrival. In short, her teams win. DU is is the #1 non-foorball D-I school in the country in 4 ourt the last five years. No has done more with the kind of menu DU has, and it's even more impressive when you consider the onerous travel DU must do just to play.<br /><br />In her tenure, DU has gone from a one trick pony to a three-headed monster in terms of men's sports. Many of DU's sports teams have become nationally-ranked and she has had outstanding success with coaching hires, graduation rates, GPA, lack of police trouble and community service. <br /><br />She has alos been open and supportive of those of us who care about school spirit, and shes has done more than any predecessor to make ideas happen.<br /><br />She is also elected to the NCAA leadership council, which shows that her peers respect her.<br /><br />Does she have issues? Sure. The Gwoz firing was poor, and even though I think the Board had a lot to do with it, Peg also bears some responsibility for how it all went down.<br /><br />Conference Affliation is also a mixed bag. I think she has played well with the bad hands she's been dealt, but we all wonder if there weren't some out of the box methods that might have led us to better outcomes.<br /><br />All in all, I would giver her an A- as her teams are winners on the field, in the classroom and in the community. That's how I rank ADs. We are lucky to have her, Gwoz notwithstanding.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-59100249651949826382013-04-12T07:59:44.005-06:002013-04-12T07:59:44.005-06:00Granato declined to lead a team based on Peg's...Granato declined to lead a team based on Peg's vision of mediocrity.

He understands the culture, has led his own program, runs a clean program and can recruit. Heck, his hair and clothes are almost as good as Gwoz. He could fit the profile of a 20 year coach and grow with the program. If Seth is coming in for an interview, good luck! He could be just what we need...<br /><br />Plus, he is part of the family so I think there will be more patience if he has to rebuild.5BWesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902714158850663998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-56731777108692882962013-04-09T18:18:12.416-06:002013-04-09T18:18:12.416-06:00Anon 7:04: yes, I was counting on us winning 7 mo...Anon 7:04: yes, I was counting on us winning 7 more before CC wins another.

Oh no, we might have a downturn for a couple years! Shocking with a coaching change!!! Who the hell cares? DU has the facilities, the tradition, the money, and the will to recover from a setback. And in the meantime, there are plenty of great memories to carry the day, and 7 national title banners hanging in Magness. Who knows, we might even land a coach who can win the 8th title before Gwoz would have. This is the fun of sports--the unpredictability. The only REAL certainty, is that DU will win seven national titles for every one that CC wins. The rest is up in the air.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-11783226189714156712013-04-09T17:11:27.031-06:002013-04-09T17:11:27.031-06:00Most of the haters that troll here are North Dakot...Most of the haters that troll here are North Dakota or Colorado College fans. The CC fans don't have a leg to stand on in comparison to DU (reference 1957.... end of discussion). The North Dakota fans - while more intrusive and bullyish - have been told repeatedly on this blog, to come back all full of piss and vinegar when they can boast 8 NCAA Championships; until such time - they should shut up; because by my calculations, 7 = 7.

Gwoz was the only thing that was respected when it came to DU hockey. Their fan base certainly isn't respected. There are already rumors of more recruits bailing. Look forward to watching.

They should also take down the other five, because Coach Armstrong is no longer with us. And DU fans should cleanse their minds of those MOST happy memories from 2004 and 2005, because Gwozdecky is no longer the coach. It's like we never won back to back national championships. For that matter, we must never again think of Matt Carle, Paul Stastny, Connor James, Adam Berkhoel, Ryan Caldwell, and Peter Mannino, because they no longer play for DU. Damn, I need to stop wearing my 2004 and 2005 championship shirts, because Gwoz isn't at DU anymore. Man, this is complicated, can we please hire Gwoz back?!

A feather in our cap, if you ask me. Here I thought we were just a small private school flying under the radar. I guess not, anymore. I also wonder how horrible those people who like to see DU lose felt in 2004 and 2005? That must have been absolutely excruciating for them. 2004 was pretty much magical. And 2005, cruising past both CC and North Dakota in one frozen four to win our 7th national title. Man, that was pretty sweet.
