The Sicatoka

Ugly dying butterfly ... 2-0 Ugly Buckets.

Did that Wisconsin ad sound more like a paid political announcement than a standard "yay-rah-rah" message? I'd heard the state was looking to chop some serious funding from Bucky's budget. Guess it's so.

And it is easy to see there are more at this night game than were at the afternoon game.

How did Besse not finish that 2x1 ...

Michigan and Wisconsin underway. It looks like everyone that went to the afternoon game brought a friend! 2 x 0 = ...

At this time they've posted the box score for today's OSU/PSU game, but list the attendance as ... 0. http://collegehockeystats.net/1415/boxes/mosupsu1.m19 Disclaimer: They may update it later; however, there's nothing listed for attendance at USCHO.com either.

Oh really? 2012 WCHA Thursday afternoon game: DU and MTU - 11489 http://collegehockeystats.net/1112/boxes/mdenmtu1.m15 2011 WCHA Thursday afternoon game: UMD and Bemidji State - 13131 http://collegehockeystats.net/1011/boxes/mbmjmnd1.m17 So there's a "two close by" and "two nowhere near" and it still popped 11000 ... each time! Will there be 11000 in the Joe tonight?

With Michigan in the nightcap, there should be no excuses.

Picked by or given to them, they still have to look at what they find themselves in and wonder.

Mercifully ... over: 3-1 Ohio State.

I hope that Lucia and Eaves are somewhere in the Joe, watching this, and asking themselves, "I gave up St. Paul, the X, and 19000 fans ... for this?"

Serious question: If this is the state of play in B1G will their officials be able to keep up with a game involving one or more NCHC teams in the NCAA tournament?

Hey, that puck went over the glass pretty hard. I hope it didn't hit anyb.... nevermind.

I wasn't sure that I hadn't pressed play on a ND HS boys tournament game on the DVR. Then I realized the HS boys would have a larger crowd.

I was going to say that what I see on television for attendance for OSU/PSU makes the UND women look like they pack the Ralph, but I'm going with whoever said there are more reading this thread than attending that game.

That's why I'm cheering for PWR55 Wisconsin.

You mean this? http://forum.siouxsports.com/topic/18758-how-do-i-add-a-photo-from-my-computer-to-a-thread/

By conference: lowest (by PWR) team still alive for the autobid: B1G: Wisconsin (55) AHA: RIT (40) WCHA: Ferris State (34) HEA: New Hampshire (27) ECAC: St. Lawrence (20) NCHC: St. Cloud (11)

OK, if everyone wants the underdog, everyone say it with me ... On Wisconsin!

So you're saying Faison'd be safe if he wrote the bonus for ...

Same as any game: 970 AM WDAY (Fargo)

Or maybe ... 10% of base salary.

So you're cheering for teams not currently in the PWR top 16 to chew up spots ... interesting ... I wonder why ...

That question applies to all of the Committee on Institutional Cooperation and their "it's about academics" facade ... (ignore the Big Ten Network thing ... ).

Goldie is a combined 6-2 against the OSU/PSU pair with a loss to each.
