Tonight’s announced attendance for the Duluth/DU game was 9,000. Okay, sure.....

If management can talk Cinderella, Warrant, Quiet Riot, and Ratt into playing a gig at the Hoggsbreath that Saturday morning, would that sweeten the deal for those riding the fence about attending?

I’m going out on a limb and picking NDSU to win it all and it starts with a 40 point victory over Duke on Friday.

Gwoz going back to Miami certainly would be interesting.

How about this for a story line? -Dave Hakstol to interview for the Miami job? Wouldn’t that be something?

Would it be beyond the realm of possibility that Blasi take an Assistant or Associate coaching position? After all, you see that all the time with coaches in the NFL and other leagues.

For real? Is that the word on the street?

It sounds like Western had to win tonight to stay alive.

CC are the new cardiac kids! Man, the last 5 minutes of the game just about gave me a heart attack! Congrats Tigers!

Air Force got eliminated by virtue of being swept at home this weekend by Niagara.

GO TIGERS!!!!!

We lead the conference in penalty minutes per game. We are ahead of Western Michigan in this category. Let that sink in.

I agree-they’re embarrassing themselves, the program, and the UND fans in attendance. Win graciously, lose graciously.

Thome with an incredibly stupid penalty.

The players are taking way too many undisciplined penalties. It’s like they’ve thrown in the towel and are just out to hurt DU players.

You’re a poet and didn’t know it!

My wife is driving home so we can head up to Denver for the game and she texts me to turn on 92.9 PEAK FM. I turn it on and they’re playing In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins. YEAH! I am officially fired up for tonight’s game! Let’s tie this sucker up!

Did Hoff play last night? I don’t recall seeing him out there.

Good call. I could root for ‘Kato.

Northeastern will be my team of choice in the tournament. Them and Air Force if the Falcons can make it.

That first goal was incredibly deflating for both the team and its fans. We out-played and out-chanced DU the entire first period and to give up that goal with a minute left in the period stung....a lot.

First goal was a defensive breakdown by us, allowing the DU forward to walk in uncontested and beat Thome from inside the slot. Second goal was a tipped shot from the point through traffic that Thome probably couldn’t see.

Doesn’t offend me one bit, this is a results-oriented business. I will say that the culture at UND is pretty strong having witnessed the team continue to battle and work hard even when down a couple goals late in the game. I didn’t witness this during Haviland’s first 2-3 seasons at CC. They’d fall behind a couple goals and their body language on the bench said it all, they’d pack it in. UND players last night continued to battle for each other and their coach and that was admirable.

Tough man. I’ve seen UND in person now eight times on the road this season and they’re 2-5-1 (the tie with DU though felt like a loss). Not my year to see wins I guess.
