Every time a story appears concerning UAA hockey the old Wide World of Sports show comes to mind.  The scene at the start where one sees  the ski jumper bouncing around like a rag doll and who is forever known as " the agony of defeat " .  With Matt Thomas in charge it will be the same old , same old at UAA.  Every week it will be the same lame excuses as the losses pile up.  This season is different . IF they don't produce wins and huge crowds the program is done . As it should be .  If the UAA students and community at large don't support UAA sports it's time to stop blowing over 10 million a year on them and instead put that money  into the classroom---where it belongs.
