Now that the weekend is done, anyone have some impressions on the Target Center? I'll offer up a few: 221, right behind the net. Great view. New scoreboard is nice. Rap and hip-hop music played every time there was more than a 2-second delay in the WMU/UMD game. Someone must have gotten the memo that this was not an NBA game as that stopped after about 3-4 stoppages in play. $14 burgers is NOT my idea of food improvements. Neither was spending $10 on a single chicken strip and three French Fries that tasted like they had spent the last week under a heat lamp. The entire arena smells like skunky beer. I think my clothes smelled the same exact way after I left on Friday. Gross. Ice looked horrible. Watched the replay at home and last night's game as well and lost count of how many times the announcers made the same exact comment. Overall, worth the $100 I spent to watch two hockey games. The sooner this event gets back to the Xcel Energy Center, the better.

Loved the comment posted the other day about the feminist warrior from Duluth dancing in a way that totally objectifies women. I know RWtD personally after having been seated with her and her brother for games at Joe Senser's back in the day. She's a good fan. DrunkHockeyGuy, on the other hand...

That's exactly how I saw it too. Sandelin: OK, someone go send them a message. Pionk: I'M ON IT, COACH!

The NCAA LOVED seeing Minnesota face off against UND less than a week after the Final Five. Remember the 0-3 comeback against the Gophers that was quickly forgotten about a few days later in the rematch?

One of the worst tournament performances of the past 20 years. Just brutal. That team totally quit.

Whoa whoa whoa...west of the Mississippi? What's that?

Yikes!

Ohio State in the NCAA...please send those chumps to Fargo!

Nope! Penn State wins on a breakaway!

It's either OSU or Wisconsin headed to the dance. DaveK and kevad get close...B1G will get 3 teams into the field of 16.

Minny a 1 with a Penn State win...a 2 with a Bucky win.

Yup, screw seeing this team in Fargo...I wanna see North Dakota rip their effing hearts out in a 14 OT NCAA championship game in Chicago...on a fluky bounce off of Pionk's helmet.

Jason Herter...you're dead to me now too.

Yup

I haven't seen acting that bad since...well...the head-snap-back about five minutes ago

On a team full of 'em.

Two chances: slim...and none.

Wolanin?

Easy Smith..

I rewound it again - Osterberg even did the classic "snap the head back" move to sell it. I haven't seen a flop that good since Bill Laimbeer retired.

Osterberg goes down on a shot from the grassy knoll!

Good heavens did Ausmus just deck that guy behind the net. Fantastic check.
