Old Dog in Texas: Anxiety Central

In the early 1960’s, back when the Old Dog was just learning about Lou Angotti and Tech’s first NCAA championship, there was an unusual TV show called That Was the Week That Was.

The Third Annual Old Dog Awards

With the bittersweet taste of a split with Northern Michigan behind the Huskies, and the regular season at an end, it’s time once again for the Old Dog Awards.

Old Dog: A Grab Bag Full of Odds & Ends

Last weekend was another mixed bag for Michigan Tech, as the Huskies played poorly on Friday night, losing to Lake Superior State 7-3 and then topped the Lakers 4-3 in overtime on Saturday. Friday’s game was nothing short of a disaster, as the Huskies suffered from poor defense and goaltending. They did outshoot the Lakers...

Old Dog: Passion

The tragic death of Kobe Bryant and his daughter this weekend in a helicopter crash overshadowed any and all sports news, including the Huskies’ weekend series with Ferris State. While Bryant had many incredible accomplishments on the court, and was, by all accounts, a devoted husband and father, one particular comment I read made a...

Old Dog: Another Lost Weekend

It felt like the movie Groundhog Day for the Old Dog this past weekend, as the Huskies repeated the same basic pattern of play for the third straight series. At Arizona State, they fell behind by three goals in the first game and mounted a comeback that fell short. In the second game, they got...

Old Dog: Sour Lemons

The old saw suggests that when life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade. But, sometimes, you just don’t have enough sugar to make the lemonade sweet enough to drink. Such was the fate of the Huskies this past weekend when they hosted Bowling Green. Playing their 5th and 6th games in 13 days, traveling...

Old Dog: Top Ten Moments for 2018-19

Once again, it’s time for the Old Dog to pick the Top Ten events for the past season. Last year, it was relatively easy to pick ten moments and keep the list largely on the positive side. This year, that was tougher to do, and some of these moments are things most Husky fans wish...
