Most places " black out " home games when they don't have nearly full attendance . If that GCI money was so great , UAA wouldn't be on their hands and knees begging for fans , as though getting big crowds to a few games will turn around cutting the program.   I'm not hung up about comments . It's just that no story has drawn so many before in the sports section.  Those comments are like a poll , which showed how out of 80 only 6 supported funding hockey or the entire U of A sports programs.  For 29 to go on the record saying sports should be cut at UAA is a big deal .  Your dreaming if you think people supported Cobb .  He was despised in the hockey community , which at the time drew more fans than all the others sports put together. The nail in the coffin was when hockey , which drew the most fans even in decline , was excluded from the new sports arena .  Hockey people knew then and there that there would never be a new sports arena built for hockey.
