How am I being a smart ass? You're the one saying how much the Gophers sucked. And I never went away after we got smoked, if you read it you'll see that I admitted that we got stomped.
And our team is still ranked higher in every meaningful ranking system. So sucking ass again doesn't say much about your team.
It's not really well documented, it's your opinion. Of course Sioux fans are going to think they finish things right.
A few fans admit that? Alright, some Sioux fans will admit your team starts stuff and is thugs, that doesn't mean anything. Dude got owned. End of story.
Gophers = kicked some ass. I love how everyone's commenting based on that YouTube video that showed hardly any of the important stuff. I was at the game, I saw it all first hand. Many people commented that he had it coming, it was such a dirty hit. And Mankato had been doing it all game.
You guys always talk about protecting your team... Schack beat the living s*#t out of that guy, what else do you want? Sure, it was unfortunate for that dude, but if your guy wouldve done that you wouldn't be complaining.
I didn't say it was always that, but when he hits our dude with intent to get hurt, that's justified. I never want anyone to get hurt and I wish him well but I don't feel bad about it.
Ah damn the traffic idea is a good idea. I'm leaving to head to Mankato from Minneapolis, but not until 3 or so. Hope that doesn't end up being a disaster, should be early enough.
Haha don't worry about it, I can see how you thought otherwise. His interview was no joke. While I agree with some of the comments, I feel for him. Tough situation.
Well he could play USHL until he was ready to come play for the Gophers/SCSU/whoever. Scott has seemed like an "azz kicker" type but I don't see a place for him with as good as our defensemen (excluding 2009 ) have/had been.
Yeah the Gophers recruited him before he committed to MSU.
There's no doubt the Gophers miss a hitter like Bickel and that'd be a prime reason to bring him back. I think Lucia and the fans thought that Grant Scott was going to be like that, but he hasn't panned out. He couldn't play for at least a year, maybe he'd even have to be out all of next year too.
I agree. I don't think CC or UW are looking too promising. I've cooled on DU a bit too. If you had to tell me to pick 2 teams to compete for the title, I'd say UMN and UND. And of course I picked the Gophers
Maybe I should change my Friday pick for the Gophers with the insider information I have...
