Wouldn't "numbers" and "space available" dictate some of that also though? USD has a distinct geographic advantage in a "one slot available in Mid-Con" scenario.

If there's a position a true freshman could practice and play themselves into this year it's in the defensive backfield.

Does Minnesota hang WCHA playoff championship banners?

Can you believe NDSU hired a guy who was a mere director of mens basketball operations at a Big Ten school as their new head coach, and didn't even interview Craig Smith. Where have I heard that before ....

Weren't "projects" traditionally "X" or "Y" named (the X-22 JSF?). It's only after acceptance and production do they get to name them after people or (ahem) geography (like USS Omaha ).

Saul Phillips' first time with the media: Best. Quotes. Ever.

Spartans? No, wait, they go by just "Spartans"? Irish?

If he's still there. There are some strange whispers flying about ....

Not. Difficult. At. All.

WCHA officials and wildly inconsistent in the same sentence. Shocking. Not.

Just one more, I promise: I barely finished learning the words to "Onward Christian Soldiers" and came this close to having to learn the "Air Force Anthem". OK. I'm done. Back to subject of thread: The bleeding (signing), believe it or not, has just begun. The only open questions are "which ones" and "how many".

Specifically Michigan's Jack, not Minnesota's Eric (yet).

You know it's only the Frozen Four left in college hockey when .... .... Chris Heisenberg's recruits site is unavailable due to daily bandwidth limitations before noon Central time on a Monday in late March.

Double-oh, .... six?

Not scoring on that major damaged the Gophers in two ways: - not scoring - their top guys spent a lot of energy not scoring

I heard the NCAA doesn't keep that stat, just the WCHA.

Hot and cold. Good game, terrible game. Then Matt Watkins dinged a knee on a Friday at DU and he got put up with Porter and Miller. Better. Watkins comes back and Miller is slid down to the fourth line (where Vandy had been). Vandy, Porter, and Watkins suddenly start to move the puck, ... and score.

All you need to know about the importance of defensive zone face-offs was taught to us by MSU-Mankato near the end of the regular season, in about 90 seconds.

Neither Vandy nor Watkins was covered up at all. Any rebound would have created the same result. Yeesh. Ugly.

Are they going to have to replace those boards where the team mobbed Porter?

N'er truer words typed.

You're kiddin'. They dumped this game to end the winning streak?

(sigh) How could you pick One-And-Done U. You are way smarter than that and yet you got suckered in*. Until they win that first NCAA game pick even Holy Cross, or UA-H, (or US AFA ). For this you must do penance. Two "Our Tony" and a "Hail Parise". Your sins are forgiven; now go in peace. * Goepfert's play in the Final Five should have been your clue.

Well, that was my guess ....
