I couldn't watch the game last night due to some drama with my NCHC TV subscription. It sounded like they were switching lines up all game according to the radio. Curious if anyone noticed this also?

He scored last season?

Well they have a dude who is 6-8, and one who is 6-5, according to the radio...

It's on Brads blog (lineup anyways)

Also has some valuable championship experience since he captained a state championship team.

The vibe I got from Berry on pre game on Midco was that they wanted a better look at the freshmen, so they opted to sit Gornall and Cole Smith.

No, he played the whole game.

They do, but... I'm not personally all that convinced on them because I'm not sure they really scored that much.

That can be changed (if you're discrete)

I went 4 years ago. We drove from Minneapolis. I've heard Cincy is the closest airport. FYI when you're driving in.... you're going to wonder where the hell you are driving to. It rained the Saturday when we were there so we just went to Bdubs to watch college football and drink beer. I don't think there's much to do there besides that. Didnt have a hard time getting tickets but check and make sure nothing else is going on that weekend in Oxford. When we went it was Homecoming so we booked hotel super early. Its a good time though. My 2nd favorite road trip I've been to aside from Vermont.

I'd eat sushi at football, but I'd like... gag or something...

Is one of the 5 cities Fargo?

I'm gonna let that slide.

I just can't stop laughing at his facial expression...

I'd consider that an impressive recovery time if I were you...

"Nebraska-Omaha? Is that the Cornhuskers?" -random person around the country...

The difference between the UND players last year and DU's this year is most of our players that did leave after the natty had turned down pro contracts the previous year. Not often do players turn down pro contracts twice, especially after winning a natty.

Anything that makes Duluth fans unhappy, makes me happy.

He was injured late in the year, didn't go on the trip out to Western Michigan, but came back later, but the bottom of the lineup just fluctuated a lot at the end of the year. I think it's a matter of preference. I prefer Yon over guys like Gornall and Smith, but others prefer those two over others. That's not to say I don't like those two players, just if I had to pick... I prefer speed over size.

Garrett Clarke played with Aaron Dell later on in the lower minor leagues. There was an article about that and his regrets with not going NCAA.

Curious why we are even talking about Wolanin at forward when he is the only established offensive defenseman we have? (obviously assuming Tucker leaves) Unless I'm completely off base here...

Gonna guess it comes out of this group: Olson, Simonson, Gardner, Wolanin.

I think it could be worse. Man, I hope the incoming freshman are real good...

He was right but it took Jordan a while after that to sign. I think it was premature last time because he said that a week after the Frozen Four that year and Jordan didn't sign until after Brad Berry was announced as Hak's successor. So I think Jordan was still debating at that time.

It was amusing to hear the announcers/commentators try to substitute NCAA experience with WJC experience for the BU guys. Don't get me wrong it's great experience to have but I felt it was completely over emphasized. It wasn't like BU didn't have any guys with NCAA experience. They'd been in the title game 2 years ago, made the tourney last year as well... I didn't get it.
