Quick Recap

So after a long hiatus I'm back! I have moved up to Hancock, Michigan as I'm attending Michigan Tech for the next few years. I got a job working with the Michigan Tech Athletic Dept, so you can expect me to give some insight on NCAA D2 athletics. Both Basketball teams are doing very well in January, the Lady Huskies are ranked 15th in the Nation! Hockey Huskies are home this weekend hosting the Fighting Sioux of North Dakota Friday and Saturday!

In Soccer news, Dan Duggan owner of the Michigan Bucks (PDL team), is currently looking for investors in Europe to invest $7 Million in a USL-1 soccer club in Detroit. USL-1 is the level of soccer JUST below MLS, in many cases the level of play is equal to MLS. The plans include a 5,000 seat stadium possibly in Waterford near the new minor league baseball park they are planning on building to create a sportsplex. This is all tentative as of now, the stadium could be pushed up to 7,000 some believe that would be better as crowds could get to 7k easily.

In Football news, who expected the Cardinals and Ravens to be where they are now? Can you imagine a Cardinals/Ravens Superbowl? I can't and I won't...but I think it will be Cardinals/Steelers. Thats my prediction but what do I know, I hate the NFL.

The Wings continue to roll in the NHL, I have kinda ignored most sports outside of my soccer duties and MTU Huskies recently because of the move and getting settled in. My bad, i'll be back up to speed in a few days for sure!

Check out this video of the Timbers Army of USL-1 team Portland Timbers. A lot of people say Detroit wouldn't support a "minor" league team. Let me remind you USL-1 is proffessional soccer, and this is a massive crowd for "minor" league, it rivals that of and is better in some cases than MLS support. Imagine this for Detroit!
