I think it's because Hockey is a Club sport and shouldn't get special attention over official university sports.
My original post came off snarky so I deleted it and I'm trying again:
this board is not affiliated with LU- so what gets "Priority" here or "special attention" has no bearing whatsoever on the university or varsity sports programs.
I realize you are aware of that. My point being- that's a bad reason to change something if that's truly your rationale. And it comes off as petty.
We've always had a ton of traffic on the hockey forums, even before you became "Rooster Cogburn"- I'm sure you remember. It may have tapered off recently, but it's still hands down, more popular HERE than golf. That takes nothing from golf- I love golf and our program has done very well lately.
SLY's quote on the forum front page says it well:
They've got their own ice on campus and a history of competing with all comers. So its time they had their own board as well.
Add in the fact that they support 4 teams and have thousands attending their games on a nightly basis.
Feel free to post as much as you'd like in the golf threads. It would be great to see more activity there. And if you dislike hockey- don't read it. NEITHER CHOICE WILL AFFECT THE STUDENT ATHLETES ON CAMPUS.
This entire board is getting like the political forums- people have THEIR viewpoint if someone else doesn't agree they're wrong and "things have to change".
