http://www.bcinterruption.com/2012/6/28/3110587/conference-realignment-hockey-east-uconn-notre-dame-boston-college This is just one article but if memory serves me right, BC administration was not at all in favor of UConn joining Hockey East. There's also quite a bit of resentment over the special treatment Notre Dame is getting in the conference with their NBCSN TV deal.

Wow! I know there was quite a bit of opposition to UConn joining Hockey East - talk about a signature win for the program.

I'm not sure how many exactly, but probably more than you can shake a stick at.

I was just gonna drop a hint and say that the top-secret location rhymes with schmoggsbreath so as to not completely give it away, but thanks for letting the cat out of the bag.

I made the trek to Houghton ten years ago...still one of my favorite road trips of all time.

While the private jet is available for use, it makes more sense for the group to meet in the TC area and not fly up to EGF.

The %gobc?

I'm not assuming anything...but still curious why you picked Detroit over a city with 1,500+ shooting victims thus far in 2014 to compare to Fargo...

So .357 is automatically labeled a "racist" because you know what you read, but the "new Detroit" reference doesn't reflect any racial undertones? What if Governor Dalrymple was quoted as saying he was concerned about Fargo becoming the "new Gary, Indiana" or "the new Memphis"? I'm guessing you'd think differently...

I've never thought of myself as anything less than an American. It's only in the last 20 years or so that it became important to hyphenate yourself.

And most African-Americans I know have never been anywhere near Africa. I'm half Italian and the closest I have been to Italy is Providence, RI. For a lot of eye-ties I know, it's Olive Garden. What's your point?

I've spent lots of time in Detroit and never had a problem anywhere. What do you feel makes it so bad compared to Chicago?

I don't think many folks would disagree with you on most, if not all, of your points. For me specifically, it's the "we're six minutes into the game and it's still 0-0? What the hell is Hakstol doing?" crowd that gets on my nerves.

Workers of the world unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains.

Ha! I've posted that before...most recently after last season's Canada trip!

What size are the respective jerseys?

Good catch! Nice to see some small programs coming along... http://gogriffs.com/mobile/ViewArticle.dbml?atclid=209736439&DB_OEM_ID=20500&

Don't you know the SS rule-of-thumb by now, stoney? Even if the shots on goal are 100-to-1 in favor of UND, if the score after one period of play is 1-0 in favor of the opponent, it means the Sioux aren't playing hard and are being outworked.

Bummer for Nick Foles of the Eagles...I really like him as a QB. Sounds like he's out 4-6 weeks. Mark Sanchez didn't look too bad yesterday...he'll need to be better to keep the Eagles afloat. It helps that Washington and the Giants are awful right now and the Cowboys have their own QB injury issues with Tony Romo.

If you left Chicago because it wasn't safe, why are you comparing Fargo to Detroit? Shouldn't your thread title be "Fargo the new Chicago??"

#1 losing AT #7 is hardly unprecedented in college hockey. This isn't FCS football.

So much for the demise of the Patriots...and how about that new-and-improved Broncos defense?

How were the protests today?
