>I just saw in the transaction column that OSU fired Shawn Walsh today and >named John Markell as interm coach. >David Ummm....I think that would be Jerry Welsh, eh. The Buckeyes could only hope to have Maine coach Shawn Walsh there. Welsh also resigned, technically, after being told that he would not have his contract renewed at the end of the year. I wish him luck. I disagree with those who hold him responsible for the sad state of the Buckeye program. The administration at OSU doesn't give a tinker's damn about the hockey program. All they care about is their football and basketball programs. Of course the b-ball team hasn't exactly been stellar this season. Welsh had no way of attracting players when most high school arenas are of higher quality than what the University gives them. Welsh will probably get a job at a school that cares about his program and will most likely do pretty well. --Steve Moerland MSU '92, UK '95
