I love Boston, probably my favorite band. There are so many good songs by them, in my opinion. This is one of my favorites that not many people know about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJMkULGvBT8 (We'll play it after we win #8)

I'd say second best seats outside the lower bowl. Front-row upper bowl at center ice is really nice.

Sorry, pasted 1 too many times. Should be working now. Thanks for the heads up.

It's funny looking at that list: 2 Mankato recruits 2 Duluth Recruits but only 1 Wisco recruit 1 Gopher recruit 1 Sioux recruit That's either saying something good about Duluth/Mankato's recruiting, or that these guys are really good, but not future superstars. I'm not saying that if the latter is true that they won't be great college players, but they aren't going to be an NHL top-3 liner.

You must have been in the same spelling/grammar class as MplsBison at NDSU...

GAME OVER. David Hakstol

You betcha! Last year when I was in Boston for the regular season games (infamous fog game at BC and then Northeastern), we went to Fenway to take in the atmosphere of game 6 of the ALCS after the NE game. In the middle of the 8th inning or so, they played the song at Fenway, and every single person in the stadium was singing it at the top of their lungs, as well as the thousands upon thousands of fans outside the stadium. It was one of the coolest things ever, haha.

Isn't there usually a 2 year gap between those kinds of deals? If this is what they did, BC would be in GF in 2010.

Amen to that.

What I can see happening to provide expansion opportunities is either the CCHA or WCHA going to a 14 team conference, split into two divisions. Then divide up the games a certain way to make it fair, and that way everyone is happy. What's going to change everything is if the Big Ten Conference ever forms, which will be a double edged sword for a school like UND.

Now we're getting somewhere. UAF and UAA in the same conference looks good until you realize that traveling costs for some teams having to travel to Alaska twice would stink and not be reasonable. That's the reason they aren't in the same conference now. One way it could work is if you do a scheduling system, where you play each team once per season, except a designated "rival" team that you'd play twice. That gives you 24 conference games in a 12 team conference, which is a pretty low amount, but keeps it fair. UAF and UAA could be rival teams for each other, and every other league team could alternate which team they play in Alaska each year. I don't see this happening, but it's a thought.

OK, I see and understand your point. But the problem is there's no room for another team right now with the folding of the CHA. With the CHA, it might have been more feasible. Here's where it stands right now. -WCHA has 10 teams with room for only 12. -CCHA has 12 teams already and is full. -There are 2 teams remaining from the CHA that need a new conference affiliation. -A 12 team max is not a rule, but it makes scheduling too difficult and too watered down when there are more than 12 in a conference. So...assuming that BSU gets into the WCHA, to make an 11 team conference, that leaves UAH. Where does UAH go? The CCHA is the best fit. Hopefully the CCHA will do their part by taking them in (like we are for BSU), and hopefully a CCHA team is willing to make the switch to the WCHA (I don't see that being too big of a problem). If that's the case, both conferences still stand at 12 teams. That leaves no room for NDSU. If NDSU were a Big Ten or Big 12 team or something looking to join hockey and need a conference, I think every hockey conference would be more open to them joining and finding a way to make it work. I don't think that'd be the case for NDSU. There's simply no room for them right now, unless UAH finds a home not named the WCHA or CCHA.

Definitely not. BC is way too good. Harvard might never beat BC again...ever.

See ya at BWW Goon!

Again, you fail to realize the importance of having BSU in the WCHA. Please go back and re-read my posts. Adding BSU has nothing to do with adding them just for fun. I covered the stance of the WCHA and BSU already. So, my conclusion is, either you don't read what I write, or you can't understand plain English. Kids, if you want to own the farm, you apparently can go to NDSU or UND. If you want to increase your chances of owning the farm and not working on it, go to UND since you will get a better education in grammar. You will learn complete sentences that actually make sense (see bolded). Grammar is very important in getting a job that doesn't involve microwaving burgers at your local McDonald's.

You're trying to tell me how successful USF is in the Big East and comparing that to NDSU joining the WCHA...but you only want to use a single statement to promote your point, but not consider any other from the same subject matter? It's impossible to argue with someone like you when you are so tunnel-visioned. If you want to use USF as a comparison to NDSU joining the WCHA, you have to compare each and every factor. The Big East wasn't waiting forever for that miraculous day that USF decided to field a football team because they knew USF would be successful. USF paid their dues and in a way, got lucky (please read previous post). They are successful for reasons that you fail to list or acknowledge when it comes to the discussion we are currently taking part in relating to NDSU and hockey. If you think all I mention is the lack of history at NDSU for being the sole reason you are obviously not reading my posts. There are a multitude of items I listed. Also, the lack of history point I made is being taken out of context by you and has little to do with how NDSU doesn't have banners hanging from a rink somewhere in Fargo, and more to do with a plethora of other matters that I already listed in my previous posts, so I'm not going to waste my team restating them. Kids, if you want to work on the farm, go to NDSU. If you want to own the farm, go to UND.

Yep, and I think it's a fair assumption to want BC to lose as well.

It was pure PWR/RPI.

I like to golf!

I can't say I have a problem with this considering we all saw JPL's antics (which were only funny at the time) for 2 full seasons. On multple occassions, JPL even took some batting practice during games with the puck, and it almost cost us on a play last year.

There is a 0% chance the Sioux can sweep the Mavs. There is a 0% chance the Sioux can win the conference. There is a 0% chance of the Sioux making the tourney....which results in a 0% chance of winning a national title.
