That will elicit a response on this forum and that is trolling.
You clearly don't understand the point that statement is making. The point of the statement is that only a small minority of the people in MN are UND or hardcore college hockey fans. If you think that is trolling, you haven't been on the internet long.

The point isn't that they should talk about UND, it's that they should have talked about college hockey and especially how the regional teams did, with an emphasis on the MN teams. It's a two-hour show about hockey, and it usually covers high school, college and the NHL. The high school season is over. That's a lot of time, with a short list of topics.
I'm just glad this came up here, because I was going to track down the podcast to hear what they had to say about the NCAA tournament. Now I don't have to bother. Thanks!
I can agree with this statement.

No, you were trolling.
Go back and bring me post that you think I was trolling and show me cause I can guarantee you won't find one.

KFAN is a MInneapolis radio station. They are going to cater to a Minneapolis-St. Paul audience, which means a University of Minnesota audience. The Gophers are the center of the local audience that KFAN caters to, so expecting them to do something different is short sighted at best. KFAN affiliates are just along for the ride because it would be very difficult from a financial standpoint to set up completely local radio stations in any of the affiliate cities.
+1. This was the point I was trying to make.

Then why have it on any station but KFAN 100.3 FM out of Minneapolis? Just have it on the local flagship station. I know they desperately want the Gophers to become the region's choice when it comes to which team to support, but that isn't going to happen with regard to hockey.
I'm not really sure what your getting at here. If you would, please reiterate.

Agreed. I hate Wisconsin, but I was pretty excited about the coaching coup they pulled off. It's good for college hockey as a whole for that program to be at least somewhat successful.
+1. As much fun as Wisconsins demise was, college hockey will be better when they are back up top.

and Gopher apologists please tell us again how they weren't competitive because they had 10 freshmen on their roster - but conveniently forget that UND has 11 freshmen on our roster. You just have the wrong freshman.
I agree, and I'm not the one making excuses. Dons teams have underachieved considering how good the instate talent is. Don also tends to not be able to "finish the deal" in big games. I haven't taken anything away from UND. UND has a very good team, and they showed that by making the Frozen Four.

I was replying to your statement "You have to remember that no one in MN would want to listen to that."
I was pointing out that statement is not true. There are plenty of people in MN who are college hockey fans and also UND fans and would want to listen to that. That and the fact that UND has 8 Minnesota players on their roster.
and it is your choice to come onto a UND fan site - but don't expect much other than pro-UND talk. Things must be pretty quiet on GPL which is not surprising considering the state of your program.
I completely understand where you are coming from about how there are lots of UND fans in MN. But it's not like UND fans outweigh the amount of Gopher fans. I was simply stating that majority of people in MN don't want to hear an hour of college hockey talk when their teams have already been eliminated.

You are wrong. There are a ton of UND grads and UND hockey supporters in the TC including me. Not all of those fans that show up for games in the TC come from GF.
I listened for a while today but turned it off.
They avoid most things that are positive about UND. Check the Trib when NHL'ers are mentioned. If it is a former gopher they print that. If it is a former UND player they write about their HS affiliation or say nothing
It's not KFANs responsibility to talk about a team in another state, let alone a team that everyone who is a UND fan hates. To expect some sort of praise or to be mentioned in the paper is absurd. There is a reason why it's called the Star Tribune, it's a MN based newspaper company. It doesn't matter how many UND fans live in the TC, because UND is not MN. If you don't like it, don't listen. I guess the point I'm trying to make is, it's your choice to live in the TC, but don't expect anything other than MN talk.

KFAN's "Beyond the Pond," sponsored in part by the NCHC. Literally three seconds today spent discussing NCAA hockey. Just enough time to remind us that MN, SCSU, and UMD have all been eliminated so there is no reason to talk college pucks today.
Brad Berry was on earlier this season and I can't remember which one of the three studio guys it was, but he spent the whole segment literally asking questions about "Fighting Hawks" and being rather snarky about it.
(651) 989-5326 is the studio line number. The biggest event of the college hockey season coming up on Thursday and it's not even worth mentioning on today's show. Wow.
What did you expect from a MN radio station, an hour long praise of UND? You have to remember that no one in MN would want to listen to that.

What are the schools Shane Bowers is listening to? Looked it up and couldn't find anything.
