4-1 UND Now Wolanin going to the box.

Hennessy has commented twice on the half empty rink and no atmosphere. This is Big Ten Hockey.

Simonson boarded hard. Major penalty. Pogo back on in 11 seconds.

4-1 on the Caggiula shorty. Pogo going to the bin now.

You mean 3-1. Michigan State scored the opening goal.

You know it's gotten chippy when Hennessy comments on all the "hits up high".

This is Jones' tenth season. That means he's completed 9 full seasons. Put another way, he has 18 "campaigns" behind him (9 regular seasons, 9 conference seasons). In those 18 "campaigns", how many times has his team finished above 0.600? One. Career marks at UND: Conference 0.452, Overall 0.454 With a percentage like that he'd be a bad weather forecaster. Even they bat 0.500.

Exactly.

Let's go to the bottom line here: The DI FCS seeding this year was done with the same script as DII circa 1997: Regionalized. And that is pathetic. They needed a northeastern team so UNH got the call (to lose at home to Colgate). They needed a midwestern, bus trip game, and to pacify the committee chair's league, so in goes EIU (to get eleventy-billion to two'd at UNI). There was enough in that strange (to the committee) place called "west" that someone would be left out. See: UND.

Yeah, UND should've dumped one of those last three wins ... #QualityLosses

Rhett has a much higher ceiling.

Yup. Pull the trigger now, post the position, start the hiring clock, take all the rest of the season, and be able to make a hiring announcement just when you should.

I just looked at Jones' assistants: very young. That echos to me of when Mussman protected himself by having two young, inexperienced coordinators (neither ready for an "interim" tag). I won't be fooled by that again, nor should Brian Faison. I say put the "interim" title on Shawn Dirden and start doing due diligence.

I said Mussman should've been released mid-season. I'm saying the same for Jones now.

That almost makes sense. And here i thought it was the flush swirl after a bad St. Pat's night of corned beef and green beer.

I think someone watched too much Thundercats as a kid and it warped them when it comes to logos. https://www.google.com/search?q=thundercat+logo&prmd=isvn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwigm9rp-rTJAhWIOiYKHUkbAtwQ_AUIBygB

Eastern had no business in the playoffs. If you take issue with this please reply to Dom Izzo's Twitter account. Thank you.

OK, ... now explain the black.

So the Wild followed Anaheim's pattern from Friday night.

How'd the Tennessee Tech AD get that password? And doesn't he know he's not supposed to admit the fix was in?

Worse than the no call in the north end zone against Santiago?

I believe they missed the word "beat" before "non-scholly".

We have a SUU sighting in Texas. 26 all.

That is the best analysis I've seen on subject. Donny wants it both ways: -stop the neo-natal recruiting -stop allowing late bloomers OK, so what's left? The B1G is trying to stack the deck believing that all 18 year olds will obviously pick a "name" (B1G) school over a real hockey program. I guess you have to try anything and everything when it's not working on the ice.

FIFY.
