So you're saying that leather seats and marble floors DON'T sway recruits in their decision-making? Who knew?
-
The words 'epic fail' are used a lot these days...
-
Lowell steals the puck and heads down on a good old-fashioned breakaway...and the player promptly loses an edge and stuffs himself into the net.
-
Shoulder to head hit by Lowell...Yale power play...again. 16:00 left in the 2nd...
-
Too many Y's on Yale's jerseys...and the helmet Y is simply too much...
-
2-0 Yale. Bulldog smackdown!
-
There's a wicked hod slap shot. Yale on another PP...
-
I think Agostino is playing on all four lines for Yale...
-
Yale looking impressive...1-0.
-
Yale PP comin' up!
-
LOTS of empty seats!
-
Nuts is right. He'd be screaming for Hakstol's head!
-
Left work early to watch the game...should be a good one!
-
To the original aqua? Yes please!

Has anyone seen the new Miami Dolphins logo?
-
FAR AND AWAY is an understatement. That team was LOADED. Sioux83, you asked when has UND ever won a title by not being the 'best team' (on paper, I'm assuming)...well, there's your answer: 1997. Does anyone here REALLY think Minnesota-Duluth was the 'best team' in 2011?

Ron Mason? Now there's a blast from the past. What a TERRIBLE coach. Michigan State won only ONE national title with him at the helm. He should have been coaching the East Lansing squirt C team, not the Spartans.

UND vs Michigan in 1998 in REA is a 7-2 blow-out for the Sioux. NoDak wins the next night 5-1. That's a BIG change.

I agree with watchmaker49 on this one...the 1997 Sioux team had something called 'chemistry'. You can't just throw 15-25 guys together (in any sport) and have the coach tell them 'okay, go create some chemistry.' it just happens - it's either there or it isn't. How many times have you seen a more talented team in any sport lose a championship to a team deemed athletically inferior? It happens more than you think. I think a few folks should go watch 'Miracle' again and see how all-star teams don't work...and then ask yourself after watching it, why is North Dakota at home and Yale in Pittsburgh?

Doesn't look great? Have you looked at Jerry York's records at Bowling Green other than 1983-1984? He carved out a pretty good run there in the 1980's...
-
We are both in agreement that Bowling Green winning in 1984 was nowhere near a miracle...My point with other posters here has been that winning NCAA titles prior to the current format was actually easier than it is today. Bowling Green played a home quarterfinal series in 1984 and advanced to the Frozen Four. That sounds a lot easier for many smaller schools than today's method of going on the road to a 'neutral' or even hostile arena as a higher seed (see also: 1998, Yost, Michigan, Jason Blake) needing to win two games to get to the show.

For the first time in my entire life, I'm proud to be a Sioux fan?

Bowling Green record in 1982-1983: 28-8-4 If that was North Dakota's previous season record, you'd say that that was a team primed for a 34-8-2 record and a National Title. But since it's Bowling Green... BTW... 1985-1986: 28-14 1986-1987: 33-10-2 1987-1988: 30-13-2 I'd say Jerry York had build a pretty good thing there at BG, wouldn't you?
-
LSSU - NAIA program in 1974...NCAA hockey title in 1988. I'd say that's pretty impressive. YOU'RE joking, right? Harvard - no scholarships...on the road...in St Paul...in OT...against the hometown Gophers and "Minnesota's Pride on Ice"...I'd say that's pretty impressive too.
-
That's a stretch given the previous titles North Dakota had in its ledger. You're comparing the Fighting Sioux to Lake Superior State, who went D1 in hockey in 1974, then won 3 titles within 20 years after the jump from NAIA?
