There’s a couple of St. Cloud guys with a podcast and they picked Duluth to finish 7th.

Or the ones from the late 90’s with the jelly donut logo on the shoulders!

Thoughts on the new design of the front of the DU jerseys? @MafiaMan???

Wasn’t it Gopher fans who for years ridiculed teams like UND for having “much older” players?

If the Tigers didn’t have Mbereko back there between the pipes, things might really be difficult.

CC has a pretty good incoming recruiting class coming in; lots of goal scorers up front and on the blue line. That said, they’re probably still a season away from being a legit contender. Definitely on the upswing though.

Check out this series of ECH college hockey game day videos on YouTube. These are pretty fun!

McKown accounted for over 25% of all of CC’s scoring last year. They definitely need to find more guys who can score.

Not sure if this belongs in this thread or not but interesting take from our friends at letsgodu….They’re speculating the possibility of NDSU and SDSU leaving to joint the Mountain West conference. https://letsgodu.com/2023/07/27/colorados-pac-12-exit-dominoes-could-hit-university-of-denver-summit-league/

Did he toss his twig into the stands like he did when he scored the OT winner in Colorado Springs? That cracked me up even though I could understand why some Tigers fans were pissed. I recall Cc radio guy and big time jocksniffer Ken Landeau referring to Blake as, “a punk.”

His dad was such an amazing player and probably one of the greatest CC Tigers in program history. It’ll be fun watching Mac as a UND player.

Sounds like a good recruiting win for UND. Curious if he was recruited by Mayotte at CC given his dad’s legacy as a Tiger.

I’m not sure I’d wanna be on the receiving end of a Dutch oven from Meredith Baxter-Birney! Wow, this conversation sure went in the tank! Lol

Someone on USCHO comment board suggested the Union Dutch Ovens. I kinda like that!

CU bragged a decade ago that the academic profile with the PAC was a better “fit” with their higher academic standards than that of the lowly Big 12 (and all those fly over state schools; KU, KSU, Iowa State, Texas Tech, etc). At the end of the day, they’re coming back home. It’s all about the $.

I listened to Jess Myers’ and Mick Hatton’s interview today with Commissioner Weems. The interview can be found on TheRinkLive. The one question they didn’t ask her was her thoughts on adding a tenth member school to the NCHC. I would’ve thought that would be a very relevant question. They did touch on the three team mini pods as well as potential league post season scenarios (no decisions have yet to be made in that regard). However, would’ve loved to hear her thoughts and opinions on making it an even number of member schools.

At CC, I barely passed The Splendor of the Baroque. I naively assumed it was going to be an easy elective. It was proof to me that the only culture I have is between my toes.

Fans on GPL are doing the same thing we are and have started talking about UND fans in their offseason forum.

“If he leaves, his legacy will be a season full of jaw-dropping moments, rivaling anyone who's ever worn the M. It will also include losing his "cool" in a national title game by giving an incompetent ref the opportunity to ring him up on a penalty he could have skated away from -- and one that helped change the outcome of the game. That was his one memorable moment in the biggest game of the year. Oh well, next!” -quote from Gopher fan. Honestly, I can’t blame Gopher fans for being disappointed if he signs, I would be too if it were a stud UND player.

I trolled GPL and a Gopher fan posted this timeline

I wonder what the chatter is/going to be over there on GPL.
