  1. Also, far too busy getting my heart broken by Gopher hoops. Best thing about that dumpster fire last night? If we lay an egg tonight, I can't get any more mad than I currently am. My sports psyche is ruined this week, things can only get better (that's a lie, I'll rage if we get smoked)

  2. I hope you know that even the worst seats in the house for Vikings/Packers are about double the going price of any Gopher/Sioux games...I'd CONSIDER giving my 2 lower deck sideliens for Vikings/Packers for 4 Gophers/Sioux, and only if they were awesome seats.

  3. Funny timing, UND's own PWR situation is so boring that I just wrote a blog post on UW's this morning -- Minnesota and Wisconsin tournament watch

    I initially only focused on this weekend, but just added a chart for all four remaining regular season games. Looks like UW really needs to win 3 to stay in a holding pattern, while sweeping would put them in the driver's seat. From the former position, a strong showing in the play-in round and tournament would probably be required to climb. From the latter, a respectable play-in and early exit would likely suffice. That will all become much more certain once the matchups are determined.

    Would you mind putting a Gopher one up for the rest of the year as well?

  4. Looks like I don't have all those friends that I thought I had. Family too.

    Anyway, I likely have two lower bowl singles for FRIDAY, and anywhere from 2-4 lower bowl singles for SATURDAY,

    for the Gopher series.

    TicketBastard receipt is just shy of $60 per ticket. Yikes! This, of course, is my price.

    I figure I can make fifty seven cents or so on each.

    PM me if interested. No ReSellers Please. Fans planning to put their arses in the seats only.

    Sent you a PM

  5. As always, anyones commentary on my picks is welcome. I'm sure I will get ripped as usual.

    On to next week's games....5 WCHA series on the schedule.

    Colorado College vs. Denver

    Looks like a big week of rivalry games if you ask me....after watching the disaster that CC put on the ice this past week and catching a few glimpses of the UND/DU series, it's hard for me to think that CC will get it done. Maybe they win at home on Saturday? Doubt it. They are horrible defensively and can't seem to hit the net. One positive for CC is their power play, which was about all they had going for them against the Gophers

    Bemidji @ SCSU

    Welcome to the WCHA, Bemidji, would you win a conference game? Picking SCSU is like trying to predict what Brett Favre is going to hurt next...I think this is going to be a case of having to pick against them until they prove me wrong.

    Becky @ Gophers

    Screw you, Becky BADger...You beat Michigan Tech twice, big deal. Even the lowly Gophers managed a road sweep last year. To make up for the brutal slaughter that was the football game 3 weeks back, a Gopher sweep is in the making. If tDon trots Kangas out there I think the mental meltdown will continue and we will get a loss. That being said, I see Patterson getting a few starts again this weekend, or at least Friday to set the tone. As usual, I will pick a Gophers sweep, but I actually think it's a possibility. Time to build on last weekend's goal fest and put double digit goals on Becky for the weekend.

    UMD @ Sioux

    Uhhh, I have no clue what is going to happen here...either team could sweep and it would come as zero surprise to me. I still think the Sioux are one of the more talented teams in the country....except in net. UMD has been putting the puck in the net at will and I think that may be a bad combination for your Sioux. I might be leaning towards a split here, but we will see.

    Kato @ UNO

    I am still bitter that those a-holes from UNO swept the Gophers. That being said, Blais is legit and even though I don't think they are at all talented, they will be competitive all year. I will likely continue my trend of picking Kato on Fridays, and then letting them choke on Saturday.

    On to my picks....

    Friday

    Colorado College @ Denver

    Bemidji @ SCSU

    becky BADger @ GOPHERS

    UMD @ Sioux

    Kato @ UNO

    Saturday

    Denver @ Colorado College

    Bemidji @ SCSU

    becky BADger @ GOPHERS

    UMD @ Sioux

    Kato @ UNO

    Final thoughts: Picked a DU/CC split for god knows why, I think DU sweep more likely. Bemidji has to win a game before I ever pick them. Screw Becky. If this were the 2nd half of the season I'd pick a Sioux sweep. I don't like John Hill. That is all.

    Good luck to you AZSIOUX, as well as anyone else who wants to make picks.

  6. After slowly dying off last year for whatever reason, the GOPHERZ vs. AZSIOUX challenge is back for year 3.

    As always, everyone is more than welcome to participate and I can try to keep week by week standings. 2 points for correctly picking a tie, 1 point for correctly picking the winner of each game. WCHA Matchups only.
