You mean to tell me Kellen Mond, Teddy "2 gloves" Bridgewater, Christian Ponder, Nate Stanley, Joe Webb and Jaren Hall (Vikings draft since 2010) weren't the answer?

Vikings fans are just as delusional as Cowboy fans. The vikings are a complete dumpster fire of an organization who cannot draft QB worth a damn.

The stats between the two are pretty much the exact same. I wouldn't exactly say that Goff is lights out better than Love. You also need to remember that Love is in his FIRST full year while Goff is 8 years into his NFL career. You forgot to mention that Goff lost to the same team Green Bay and Love just lite up.

The 4 year transfer player is probably doing all the right things in practice and the rookie player probably isn’t grasping the NCAA game as fast as the coaches want him to. You’re going to tell me that you’d take Emerson over Johannes right now?

What you must not understand is that Lynn Lake Liquors is no longer, Mall of America isn't in MPLS, and you can go to another pindea tacos location if you are so scared. The attendance for the league tournament hasn't gone down like you think. Your notion of the MPLS area being "big, bad and scary" is just not true.

Some people just don’t understand….

It does smell a lot like bad decisions and regrets but overall not terrible.

Is it worse than it used to be? Probably but it's also not as bad as a lot of people assume it is.

There are over 100+ games a year hosted in MPLS and it seems like no one has been murdered going to one of them. Most of the crime has been set around 5 neighborhoods that are not really that close to downtown either. So take off your tin hat and come on down to Lyons Pub and we can chat more about this.

saying the conference is going to lose "quite a bit of money" is a big stretch. For what it costs to rent out the Xcel and for the amount of people that show up to the tournament, I imagine the conference loses more doing that then it would having the championship in Oxford.

Exactly…who cares what anyone else does, just win and the rest takes care of itself.

They have major booster money, not overly surprising.

I don’t think it would happen and I’m sure it’s being discussed out of anger and trying to persuade the B10 commish to rethink what he is doing. However, I also don’t think they care because it’s Michigan and any other power 5 conference would welcome them in a heartbeat.

I was reading an article (Michigan football leave the Big Ten Jim Harbaugh suspension? (usatoday.com)) about Michigan leaving the Big Ten due to the commissioner's handling of Jim Harbaugh suspension. Obviously, I don't care about Michigan football and if they leave the Big Ten but the main question would be is, what happens to the hockey conference if it were to happen? I don't think they would get an autobid any longer, as you have to have more than 6 teams in a conference to get one. Would they bring in an affiliate school or would we see the remaining teams disband into other conferences?

Isn’t that what you’re trying to tell me? Maybe limit yourself in telling people what they consider a rivalry or not.

That would look awful...

Was there last year and was there 16 years ago and the atmosphere was completely different between the times I was there.

It magically sells out because majority that go are UND fans.

Okay….

I also can’t stand Duluth and despise their fan base. Of course I want to beat Minnesota but I wanna beat them like any other non conference team.

I never said it was a requirement. if me saying it’s not a rivalry is “ruining your fun”, I’d probably stay home where it’s safe from others.

That is probably true…

UND and NDSU are in the same conference and are only 80 miles apart from each other. Iowa and Iowa state are 120 miles apart and are both in the same state. not even comparable situation

A lot of people down here in MPLS could care less. Also, could you name every player on their current roster without looking it up (I'm guessing not)? Back when we played them every year, you could name every player and their mother on that roster. Again, the rivalry died when we stopped playing every year (Lucia even said it when they left for the B10) and the only people that are still pretending like its the same are the ones who keep B#*(*ing about the Fighting Hawks nickname.

I am in the same boat as you my friend!
