A search committee to find the new ODU head football coach has been formed.

Then what were Welsh and NCSU's old coach hired to do? I thought finding a coach was one of their objectives. Or were they only charged with outlining what the program needs to get off the ground and what qualities should be sought in the new coach?

Seattle decides it no longer needs a mediocre professional basketball team to feel good about itself.

You can say that if you already have a football and baseball team.

too bad it was preseason.

too bad it was preseason.

No, that game counts. ODU is 4-1 with the only loss to Clemson.

Exactly! They're off to a great start.

Great Job ODU!!

[urbanfan]

Just so everyone knows. The Hoyas (Georgetown) was ranked #8 so that kind of puts this win into perspective.

I will attend that game!

freaking sweet! wish I could go to that. All I have is the crappy Blazers or make a road trip to Seattle and pay way too much and sit in the nose bleeds to see any decent pro teams.

Where will ODU fall on this list (you can only guess, there are no real numbers for ODU) The First Virginia school is JMU followed by NSU. Then Liberty, W&M and Hampton. I could not place the numbers beside the school but it can found at NCAA.org This may be fun to guess and get ready for ODU football.

Congrats to Old Dominion for taking down George Mason over the weekend. One of the most exciting games I have seen in a while. They televised the game on T.V. Also tonights game at Hofstra will be televised.

Uh oh!! I'm sure Wrldcoupe won't be happy about his alma mater dropping a game to ODU.

Blackhawks want to move AHL affiliate to Rockford, Ill.

Looks like the other major-league-affiliated team in HR will be getting a new parent club. The obvious choices are Washington and Carolina since the move is towards regional affiliates. Washington's AHL affiliate is Hersey, Pa. while Carolina partners with Albany, NY. I'm not sure of the details of the Washington/Hersey affiliation but Carolina details their affiliation on their site. Carolina and Colorado both send players to Albany. After this season, Carolina has club options for two more years. My bet is that they don't pick up those option years and instead get a deal done with the closest AHL team to them: Norfolk.

As the Admirals keep winning, fans are coming out

From the Virginian Pilot

"Early in the third period, the gate was announced at 7,209, the largest in the franchise's seven AHL seasons."

Admirals get first AHL sellout, beat Hershey 5-4 with OT goal

From the Virginian Pilot

"People said we couldn't win in front of big crowds," he said. "That was last year's team."

Go Admirals !

Admirals get first AHL sellout, beat Hershey 5-4 with OT goal

What an awesome game. It felt like the 90's again! Remember, next Friday is Wilkes-Barre. could be another sellout crowd.

[hoobo]

A sell-out nice. Took some time to develop a strong rivalry, but now the Admirals have it with Scranton/WB. I'm hoping that the Admirals realign with Carolina or DC. That will further help attendance and interest in hockey.

ODU football candidates make their case
