The Osh comment was sarcasm. Osh did not leave Warroad early.

That song is so old, I had a six-pack (not in the fridge) when that was big

Not going to do the whole walk, but as of this minute: Fargo DU vs WCHA champ Lowell vs UND Cincy UMD vs AHA champ (AF) Minny vs Notre Dame Providence WMU vs PSU Union vs Providence NH Harvard vs OSU BU vs Cornell Only swapped 5 and 7 (Minny and Union for attendance) as well as 9 and 11 (UND host)

We will play either UMD or DU. A loss to either hurts, but is not RPI killing. I feel pretty safe in terms of a bid right now. Many top 16 teams will be playing each other in playoffs, which means someone's PWR has to get dinged. I don't have Monte Carlo software, but that's what logic is telling me.

Several very flippable PWR just ahead of us based on RPI and either tied PWR where we lose on RPI or ones where an RPI flip will make us tied with RPI as tie breaker that would flip the comparison.

Someone's been watching the 2016 all hockey hair team clip

Just to be clear, I never implied that the handys were performed by teammates- if that's the case, then there is a much bigger room issue to attend to

Heard Bubbs has established a team policy on this

No doubt about it. He will play limited minutes 5x5, but be available for the pp or if we go behind

That was a heartbreaker...We were the best team...DU was the fourth best team in the conference that year...

They sure did!!!!

Looks like Moy went an alternative route to all scenarios laid out by the collective body here. I was surprised that he put Harvard in Manchester vs Providence...I guess it's probably close to equidistant.

Alpha Beta? Aren't they all jocks and face men?

Fair enough, I thought they were the host. I would think that they would try to keep them in Providence regardless for attendance reasons. I think its the 3 seeds that get moved around...idea being the 5-12 should all be pretty decent matchups...the 1-4 and the 13-16 would be kept intact if at all possible. The issue is what trumps- #1s closest to home or straight bracket integrity.

Here was my logic, for those watching at home (and giving me negative reputation- which I think is undeserved) #1 seeds in order: DU, UMD, Harvard, WMU #2 seeds in order: Minny, Lowell, BU, Union #3 seeds in order: Penn State, Providence, Cornell, UND #4 seeds in order: Wisconsin, Notre Dame (assuming BC doesn't win tourney), AHA champ, WCHA champ Start by placing the #1 seeds in rank order in the regional nearest them DU goes to Fargo UMD goes to Cinci Harvard goes to Providence WMU goes to NH Fill it out: Fargo DU vs WCHA champ Union vs Penn State Cinci UMD vs AHA Champ BU vs Providence Providence Harvard vs Notre Dame (or BC) Lowell vs Cornell NH WMU vs Wisconsin Minny vs UND Now we have two 3 seeded host schools that aren't at their home regional, so you have to move UND to Fargo, and Providence to Providence. You then need to place Penn State and Cornell (the other 3 seeds). Minny shouldn't play another Big 10 team in the opening round, so you send Penn State to play BU and Cornell to play Minny. Fargo DU vs WCHA champ Union vs UND Cinci UMD vs AHA Champ BU vs Penn State Providence Harvard vs Notre Dame (or BC) Lowell vs Providence NH WMU vs Wisconsin Minny vs Cornell So now we have the issue of Lowell vs Providence as two hockey east schools in the first round. You can't move Providence, so you move Lowell. Swapping them with BU accomplishes nothing, so you swap them with either Union or Minny. I say Minny, because it gives the #1 seed DU full bracket integrity on the 4 and 2 seeds in their regional. It can be argued that they earned it. Leaves us with: Fargo DU vs WCHA champ Union vs UND Cinci UMD vs AHA Champ BU vs Penn State Providence Harvard vs Notre Dame (or BC) Minny vs Providence NH WMU vs Wisconsin Lowell vs Cornell The only changes made are impacting 2 vs 3 seed match-ups, and you've kept the 8 seed in the 1 seed's bracket, and the 7 seed in the 2 seed's bracket, and you've had to adjust BU vs Providence anyway. On to attendance, well, Fargo is set. Cinci will be quiet no matter what, you've got a Boston school and Providence in Providence, and you've got a Mass school and Cornell up in NH.

so if you argue that DU is a flight either way, what about the Dawgs? It's a bus to Fargo and a flight to Cinci.

so you believe that they will ask the #1 overall seed to travel out east? My assumption is that they will not. That is the driver of our different brackets.

Committee has a mess as of this morning...Lots of integrity messed up based on travel, hosts, and intraconference...Here's how I'd see it... Fargo DU vs WCHA champ Union vs North Dakota (while Minny keeps the bracket integrity with UND, I think the #1 overall seed will not have the highest #2 seed in their bracket) Cincinnati UMD vs ACA champ BU vs Penn State Providence Harvard vs Notre Dame (or BC if they win their tourney) Minny vs Providence New Hamphire WMU vs Wisconsin Lowell vs Cornell

You're right, it wouldn't help us, but it would help others that hurt us

That would be a perfect storm

Nope

He certainly should...you NEVER touch an official

Thats an Yzerbrunch for the NCAA
