WRONG! OSU women's basketball drew an average of 3,849 fans at each of their 18 home games last season... http://fs.ncaa.org/D...ttend/13att.pdf 43,000 students on campus...and you're trying to suggest that three schools whose combined undergrad enrollment is about 6,000 more than that have poor attendance as compared to the mighty Buckeyes?

Which should be even MORE embarrasssing for a school like Ohio State, wouldn't you think? Columbus is a major metropolitan area, unlike Oxford, Kalamazoo, and St Cloud. http://www.stadiumjo...er-s1113/images Now, contrast those pictures of Ohio State hockey vs this...

Illinois was my guess too. I can't recall when but I knew that the show had been to Northwestern.

If OSU football was played in a stadium with even 5,000 empty seats, it would be considered a campus travesty. But OSU hockey playing in front of 11,000 empty seats is a sign of success?

Dangit...now I need to find the answer...

If the Gophers were drawing 4,000 fans per game at Williams Arena, you would think your program sucked too. Build a damn hockey arena, OSU. You make a big deal about being Big 10 but your hockey arena screams D3!

Funny you should ask, Matt... http://www.sportingn...an-game-suicide However, there is WAY more to this story than you think...after this fan was ripped online and Michigan fans in general were called out, this particular fan decided to explain the sign... http://deadspin.com/...eday-1271410289

This show could either go very good for Fargo and NDSU...or very bad. I am cringing at the thought of Bison fans chanting SIOUX SUCK on live TV...and the chatter afterward about how racist UND is responsible for their bad behavior.

Fixed your post.

With Doug Woog's recruits...a couple of non-Minnesotans and a foreigner (gasp!)...

Sounds good, thanks much!

Well, it's better than Goon sending me a "GO BISON" bumper sticker and a half-eaten pack of Big Red gum as "payment in full"...

Schmitzzz's check arrived today so all I'm missing are payments from Cratter, LeftyZL, and yababy8...thanks everyone for your prompt payment.

Wilbur, Wilbur, Wilbur...that's only because they played a lowly non-Big 10 team in the first round! Had they played MSU or Michigan, Buckeye Nation would have put 1,000 butts in the seats at their practice rink for that third game!

I knew a Gopher voice of reason could be found in the wilderness somewhere...very valid point, sagard.

You're referring to a metropolitan area of almost 2.5 million people where the ONLY professional sports team in town on any given winter night plays to about 80% of arena capacity, right?

So explain the rationale used to 'promote' the women's game...by scheduling Mankato State.

Mariucci, you haven't answered this question yet...

No worries, CMSioux, this project was well worth it.

I would argue that Michigan's 'brand' is more recognizable than Ohio State...

You could have at least divulged to me that you were a Paypal shareholder while pimping the site to me as the best option for payment!

By next April, 38 degrees will mean no hat. But those first few days of September/October when the thermometer dips below 40 are an adjustment period for the chrome dome.

A) Because they knew Minnesota or Michigan would kick their a** on the frozen tundra, that's why.

Re-read the last two pages of this thread and find out...

I should be fine...so far only four payments had the fees deducted. 38 degrees when I left for work at 6:30am. Yep, September 17th and already have my hat broken in.
