Penn State beats Michigan State 3-2 at Munn.
Michigan loses at Western. I have a feeling that the Red Baron is about to be Gasparini'd out the door at Michigan.
In other bold predictions, I've got the NY Yankees winning the AL East this year, the Miami Heat going to the NBA Finals, and the 49ers vs the Ravens in next weeks Super Bowl.
The Big 10 should be owned by Minnesota next season...easily.
That list contains a BC name or two I'd forgotten about (Scott Clemmensen) and is missing a Sioux player or two who are currently unsigned (Jason Blake, for example). Nonetheless, BC and UND are closer than I though...I stand corrected.
Yea...it took Jerry, what, 15 years to win his FIRST at Boston College?
So UND has more built-in advantages than any other in the country...gee, didn't Sioux fans used to say that about Minnesota?
Dude, you just threw me in front of a bus insinuating that I'm some pompous prick who thinks he has the solution to all Sioux hockey problems...now you want to help me up off the pavement?
I offered up my two cents earlier...grabbing the top talent in the hockey world and throwing it on one team doesn't make that the best 'team' when the skates are laced up. UND clearly needs some meat and potatoes guys and less guys waiting for an NHL paycheck. Hey, that reminds me...how many BC Eagles are in the NHL right now? Far fewer than Sioux guys...
Fair enough, but if winning NCAA bouncey ball championships was easy, Coach K and Duke should have more than 3 measly titles in 40+ years, right?
It took Jerry York almost 20 years to win his second one...good thing BC didn't pull the plug on his coaching career after losing to UND in 2000, eh?
When I hear the words 'mediocre college hockey programs,' the names St Cloud State, Providence College, Ohio State, Mankato State, and Brown come to mind...NOT North Dakota.
I can think of 8-10 WCHA teams that would GLADLY trade their past eight seasons for North Dakota's...
What is your reasonable expectation for a title? Denver has 2 within what, the last 40 years? Minnesota 2 in the last 33, 34? Michigan? Boston University? About the same.
What would YOU consider acceptable for North Dakota? Once every five? Three? Every other year? No question its a monkey on UND's back...I hope soon enough its off.
Duke's Board of Trustees has called an emergency meeting this afternoon to discuss Coach K's job after the Blue Devils' 30something point loss to Miami the other night. I also read that Bob Kraft will be firing Bill Belichick no later than Monday.
Same exact thing people on here were saying in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and on...Blaiser's lost it...he can't win the big one anymore...only two national titles? We should have five or six!
Lather, rinse, change coaches, repeat...
