LOL!!! I am so cheap. I'll probably just listen to Wally & Frank on the audio stream. I need to make the road trip up there again. It has been so long. But I may not be treated well up there!

What happens if I show up?

I don't think the story here is about UND or MN.... All MN cares about is tickets sold, unfortunately..... But both have been steady for quite sometime. It's all about Wisconsin dropping like a rock. 3 years ago they averaged just over 15k. 2 years ago they averaged just over 13k. Last year they we around 11.7k. Now they have dropped to 9.5k. Now I know they had some outdoor games to inflate the average in the past as well as a few games at the Dane to bring numbers down this year. But they are clearly in trouble if this trend continues.

SHOCKING!!!! What's this? 12 out of the last 14 games have had these two morons reffing a MN/UND game? (Or some other ridiculous number like that)

I'm the real D-Bag!

At least some people got the "bit".

I invite you all to listen to the GPL Podcast as we record it live at 9pm. I will be on my best behavior. I promise. Okay I won't be on my best behavior, but you expect that from me. Listen just after 9pm here: http://www.gopherpucklive.com/index.php?page=podcast

Oh I won't be good with you..... I fully plan to drag you personally thru the mud during the podcast.

It's my favorite week of the season.... I promise to be good! :hypocrite:

The last hockey game at the Target Center was a regular season game between MN and UW in March of 2010... For media types, the Target Center is just awful. The pressbox is tiny compared to the X. It's literally 1/8th the size. So I am guessing that they would need to make a special press area in the upper deck in order to accommodate the team reps and the media. I know that the MN radio broadcast was from a table at the top of the lower section during that game, whereas they would usually have their own room at the X. For the fans though... I don't really think it will be that bad. Sure it won't have the comforts of the X, but the location should more than make up for that.

You didn't get credentialed?

FSN no longer covers UW Hockey, they dropped them a few years ago. You do still see UW games on FSN, but they are not FSN productions. They just pick up the local channel feed.

I locked his thread on GPL..... I (along with others) thought it was funny at first, now I'm just bored with it.

No argument there.

I picked a Gopher sweep on our Podcast.... but that was me just being a Rube. :D

This is correct. In fact, since the BTN came online a few years back, they have had first choice on all Gopher games. Once they are done picking those games, FSN can pick up anything else.

Wow.... That's pretty negative "Upper Deck". And I thought I was making headway in bringing you over to the dark side. :glare:

Yes there is some crossover with a few camera guys. It all depends on who is available. But for the most part it's a Gopher production with the staff, producers, director and talent.

The Final Five is always done with Gopher crew. Same camera guys. Same producer. Same everything. The only thing that is different is that Jim Rich and Darby Hendrickson will call the afternoon games on Friday and Saturday. At least I think Darby will be the color guy.

HAHA!!! I usually just mess with their logo.... but when "beersong" poked fun at it and said it was getting old, I decided that they needed to go PINK.

Truth be known.... I actually changed the banner on GPL myself to Bulldog Puck Live. With the season we are having, we needed something to make us laugh. I have no problem sabotaging my own site to get people to relax. As for the UMBPB site, I have helped DrunkHockeyGuy out administering his site in the past. Which gives me full access. So I used that access to install a new "theme" for the site. I kept it up for a day and then changed it back this morning. Here is what it looked like when it was up. Pink UMD Penalty Box Site This is the third time I have messed with his site during UMD/UM week. I am guessing it will be the last.

I just created a page specifically for "Woogism's" on my website. I will need more content, but it's at least a start. http://www.gopherpucklive.com/woogism.php
