So is the University of South Dakota, however unlike their land grant counterparts, they have chosen the radical step of directing the funding to academics itself
, instead of a trickle-down method of using athletics to pull up academics. -
Hockey indeed counts. Also at the Division II level, you can only score in 7 sports each for men and women. Apparently Grand Valley's 33rd in womens tennis was surpassed by their performance in seven other sports. That's pretty impressive.
Laker fans, why no hockey at Grand Valley. Michigan is the state of college hockey and the school certainly seems large enough.

When do they play the final table? And when is it finally on TV?
Edit: I looks like they're playing the final table today. And I THINK it's on TV June 30th.
The final table is today, May 28. Get live updates here
The full World Series of Poker TV schedule is here.

Here is the final table. Greg "Fossilman" Raymen has a huge lead and has to be a favorite right now. The champion receives $5 Million this year.

Jason Blake joins Eddie Belfour as UND alums playing in this fall's World Cup. I look forward to seeing team USA at the Xcel Center, can't wait to get my tickets. Should be some pretty good hockey.
-
I am already looking forward to this series. I will be driving up from DC for both the Maine and BC/NU series. It will be fun to see the Sioux in a different venue. The Princeton game last year was a lot of fun.

It should also show you something that the NCAA takes football so seriously that it would divid D1 in order to accommodate different athletic programs for their level of football. Not so with ice hockey (either you're a scholarship team D1 or a non-scholarship team D3).
It takes football so seriously it doesn't even sponsor a championship at the highest level.

Cut Melrose some slack. He made the comment on NHL 2Night not Frozen Four 2night. If the average fan saw a list of NCAA champions they would most likely not consider schools like Michigan or even Minnesota as "Western" Realistically, only the Colorado and Alaska schools are located in what is commonly referred to as "the West", so I don't think Melrose's comment is that crazy. At least he mentioned the game.
-
It's Denver for me. Gwozdecky is a class act, keeps the title in the WCHA and pushes them past Minnesota in the title count. It will also put some spark back into the UND-Denver rivalry, one with a great deal of history.
-
[ For example, had Duluth been upset they would have remained a #2 seed and not had to worry about Lessard's status. It didn't end up mattering, but I'm sure the extra rest would of only of helped.
Actually, had Minnesota-Duluth lost, they would have been a #1 seed, as Minnesota wouldn't have been able to get the head-to-head win need to flip their comparison. Crazy how those things work.

Geez, you guys are far too sensible.
I guess I'm the only one who is outraged we couldn't score a goal in the biggest game of the year. Bounces, no-bounces, bad luck, no luck, played hard, whatever. It makes little difference to me.Winning an NC is difficult, but when the Gophers make it look easy and will probably 3-peat, it tends to throw perspective out the window.
Ask a Gopher fan how easy it was in the 80s and 90s.

Colorado Springs - Zach Parise scores :47 in, the fourth fastest goal in an NCAA regional game, setting the tone in a workmanlike 3-0 UND victory.
Albany - Bernd Bruckler posts a shutout as UW claims a 1-0 OT win in first ever NCAA tourney game to go scoreless after regulation.
Grand Rapids - Thomas Vanek is a man possessed, with two goals - including the game winner - in a dominating performance in a 5-2 win.
Grand Rapids - Junior "Willis Reed" Lessard returns from injury to key the UMD attack against Michigan St.
What exploits are still to come?
It's been a great year to be a WCHA fan. I think this is one of those seasons we will talk about for a long time.

Dogs taking MSU to the woodshed. Should be a great game tomorrow. 5-0 for the WCHA. Go Badgers!
The unofficial WCHA-CCHA showdown will go 4-0 in favor of the WCHA.

Shouldn't have to worry about the Sioux looking past Holy Cross now.

Do you have a link? I am stuck at work until 6 and need something to hold me over until the SIOUX play.
Go to warpradio.com and in the search by call letters put in WZON.
Harvard now up 2-0
-
Wouldn't it be great if Wisconsin makes it out of the other bracket?
Yes. Yes it would.
-
I think this is more evidence that a D-I NCC wasn't going to happen, refuting claims out of Fargo that it was UND that killed that possibility.
-
I agree with Goon on this one. The trap will not get you a national championship. Earl and Bourque are really the only offensive people on that team. And I'm sorry, but Bruckler does not match up against Doyle and Howard. It's like Montoya going up agaisnt Roy or Broduer (in their prime, which Broduer may not be at yet...scary thought to anti-Devil fans). Solid, but Maine's goaltending is much better than anyone Wisconsin has.
I certainly won't question Maine's goaltending, but to win you also have to be able to put the puck in the net yourself. They managed only 3 goals in nearly 170 minutes of hockey at the Hockey East Finals. The week prior they eeked out 1 goal victories over a mediocre Merrimack club. They are reminiscent of the Michigan St. clubs of the recent past. If you can get on them early, you can win. Wisconsin certainly has the capability, and I think Harvard does as well. Harvard is gelling at the right time and won't be an easy out.

Sean McDonough doing color. Wow! He is a quality announcer despite being an eastern guy.
-
Ohio State is Hot and Cold and certainly a winnable game. They also have the goaltending to stick with Maine. Maine-Harvard could be a 0-0 3 OT game. Eastern teams seem to really play it close to the vest in the postseason, not much scoring.
-
Two more bids decided, Ohio State and heading to their first big dance, Holy Cross.

UMass ties Maine 1-1 with 5 left in the 3rd

Duluth controlled the first last night and it didn't do them much good.
We are a third period team, I like where we are at right now. Although some 5-on-5 time would be nice.

Another bonus UND could offer to a conference is in addition to an entrance fee, we could offer up (say for 10 years) any money for participating in the NCAA Hockey tournament. Since as a DII school, we aren't getting any of that money right now, it's not a real loss. This could end up being a nice pot of money if the Sioux make several deep tourney runs. After the probation period, UND would then get to keep all the hockey tourney money.
