Are you aware of the fact that it hardly ever dips below freezing in the deep south, and never long enough to freeze lakes?
He'll suggest the SEC adopt bobsledding next.

I don't care if it's a big deal as long as it bothers you.

An SEC school starting a varsity hockey program and having it compete in the Big 10 would be weirdly neat.

What does this have to do with Arkansas?


Last I checked we have a really good hockey club team at Arkansas so maybe that is what he was referring to?

Hockey in the South? That would be interesting. Hard to keep the ice down there

This is like asking why the koran sales are so low in the South seeing that Islam is the worlds biggest religion. Sorry you can't grasp regional markets.

I'd love to know how the hell you came up with that claim. Do you mean second biggest draw on ESPN+++ in the 1:00-2:00 time slot with women's bowling right behind it?

Hockey is a very expensive sport to field a team with, especially in an area that hardly ever gets snow.

It's like having the NHL Winter Classic (outdoor event in a football stadium) in SEATTLE, when it's 50 degrees and raining on New Years Day.

I mean who DOES that?!

Lacrosse is the national sport of Canada -
Also - props to Florida. The women’s lax team is in the final four this weekend. Knocked off perennial powerhouses North Carolina and Virginia to get there.

SEC need lacrosse before anything that requires ice.

Even after living in North Carolina for a couple of years, I don't understand Lacrosse.

Simple answer.

SEC schools don't have scholarship hockey or wrestling teams because in this part of the country there's little fan interest in either. Lacrosse is closer to scholarship status than either of those in SEC country.

I don't know a single person who can tell me what constitutes an off sides in hockey. Including me.

It seems like it would be fun if this part of the country grew up with it but we see a snow accumulation once every 3-4 years. and I cant ever remember seeing a frozen pond south of Memphis.
