Since you seem to know some much about me what is the same bs i spew?. Also, why did you make this personal? This started out by me asking Goon a question then you start taking personal shots at me.

That's a pretty bold statement considering you don't even know me. If Goon doesn't want to name names that's fine.

Diggin, I don't know if you follow Souhan writings or heard him speak about hockey but he is no different than Ruesse when it comes to hockey - He hates it!. He has said mutltiple times that he knows nothing about hockey yet alone like it. The man is entitled to his opinion but when it comes to hockey knowledge or having inside info on Lucia or the Gopher program I highly doubt it. I'm not saying that I am an expert but I go to every home and away game and I have never seen him at a game and I do know some people within the program and they have said that they have never seen him at practices or around the facility. So when it comes to Gopher hockey his credibility is very thin. Also, I don't think Souhan is one the people that Goon is referring to when he says that he has heard from other people that Lucia would have been fired if it was not for his illness. Goon has referred not to comment on who these "other people are" and I guess that is his choice.

Still waitng for who these people are, goon.

Who are these other people you talk about?

Atleast Bison football has history and tradition when it comes to titles, something the Sioux football team cannot claim.

How is UND's trophy case looking? pretty bare I would guess considering they only won 1 NCAA football title, while NDSU'S case is full of 7 NCAA titles

Your Athletic Director ( big payday for UND )

According to what most people are interpreting, the reason Denver, CC and Anchorage are having a problem with Bemidji being accepted in the WCHA is because of the travel these three schools would have to ancurr. If the WCHA does find a 12th team ( UNO or NMU ?) how with this change the minds of these three schools since Bemidji will still be a problem in terms of travel.

Seems like a valid question, what is the answer?

The point is as Sagard pointed out, the Gophers do travel for non-confrence games. Maybe not out east as much as the Sioux do but they do travel. I agree this should not be in the BSU thread.

I agree, I wish the Gophers would go on the road for more non-conference games mainly because I enjoy road trips, but the notion, as azsioux applied, that they never go on the road is wrong. People can say what they want about the Michigan/ Michigan State series but the fact is they go on the road every other year for those games.

Thanks for letting me know the Gophers don't travel anywhere because I need to call the hotels in New Hampshire, Boston, Columbus (Ohio), Ann Arbor, and East Lansing and let them know my credit card was charged for staying there when I guess I didn't.

Out of curiousity, what players from other programs ripped their coach and program when they left and what did they say?

I'm not a pairwise expert, but it is the pairwise system (computer) that determines the field not the NCAA. The NCAA commitee places the teams in the regions AFTER it has been determined by the pairwise.

What about the other people in the FM area that are not Sioux fans?

We have four Sioux fans sitting close to us and they were being A-Holes all night. They were swearing and taunting opposing fans constantly. ALL fan bases (including Minnesota's) have great fans and bad fans. This is a great tournament but the reality is is that it brings out the best of fans and the worst of fans.

Why will Minny be in?

Atleast we agree on something.

You might want to get your facts straight before you make a asshole comment.

I like the way you think.

Explain?

I'm surprised you haven't moved by now considering all the bitching you have been doing about living in the cities for years. Maybe you can move back to Devils Lake, I'm sure there are plenty of jobs there.

You need to email the AD's of these nine teams and complain to them about the rule because it is them who vote in favor of the "Minnesota Rule". They vote in favor of it because all teams share the Final Five revenue and they don't want to lose the money. Lucia himself has stated he does not like the format but it is the other Ad's (except Minnesota's, who votes against it) that want it.
