Good for Fabian. Stafford with an assist along with Greene. Wisco is now up 2-0, while Minn is up 4-2.

This is from the Friday UND/Mankato thread: http://www.warpradio.com/IEindex.asp Hope it works for tonight.

I figured I'd add this here. The Wisco broadcast just showed a NCAA appearence banner. I'm surprised that minny doesn't have one of these, because they ALMOST make as many banners as SCSU does. On the games; every time I turn to the Minny game it looks as if AA is taking it to them, then Minny goes down and scores. Wisco and SCSU is another tight game. They've been doing a lot of face washing and hitting after the whistle, but kind of a boring game. No shots really getting on net.

4 out of 5 goals to that 4th line. They were even playing the PP on that one.

I think we have a new 4th...errr maybe 3rd line. Good job guys.

Thank goodness for Sioux hockey and Coors Light. It certainly takes my mind off of doing grades.

The problem I see is that players have to dive to get the refs attention.

Get DirecTV. Tonight has AA/Gophers, Wisco/SCSU, and later on CSTV will be UMD/CC...and some Hockey Least game is on NESN.

Yeah, but that was when the game was at the REA.

Working here now as well. Whew. Just saved myself 9 bucks on something that might suck tonight. (I'm talking about dataflix).

I don't think Messier and Blake were actually fighting. Messier (who is much bigger) was holding Blake by the throat. That's why his face was turning red. The sad thing is that the ESPNEWS guys were just laughing about it!

My audio isn't working either, and I don't know if I want to shell money for the webcast.

I think it should also be noted that students pay fees along with tuition that go right to the athletic dept.; whether they go to the games or not.

BC had some guy leading the cheers at Albany in 2001.

If I remember correctly, I believe that CC has some ads inside the blue line. It is annoying to look at. I'm not sure if it is even allowed in the NCAA.

I've always wanted to see some stats posted. Aren't they all done by computer anyways?

This will be my last bit, since this is a fb thread. Gonzaga is now a bball power and became that way by playing well in the big dance. The problem with just BCS schools is the tourney would have to remain small, otherwise teams that don't deserve to be playing would be (not that it doesn't happen now). I'm not denying that it wouldn't be good. A team like Nebraska would never get in unless they had one hell of a season to begin with i.e beating Kansas (or other powers) in the regular season. Take this year for example. I'm really excited to see how well Saint Joseph's can match up against the BCS schools (that won't play good small teams due to fear of RPI). Right now they are undefeated. I wouldn't consider them a cinderella team, but itwould be fun to watch them beat some big time programs. There are very good small conference teams out there, and I don't think it should always be about the big schools. There are some crappy big schools. I think the current NCAA bball tourney has a nice Hoosiers feel to it and brings in a lot of money.

I question if they'd truly receive more money. Remeber, less games means less advertising and ticket sales. A team like Gonzaga wouldn't even be allowed in and they have become a big time tourney TV draw. Nebraska gets a couple of chances a year to knock off Kansas. That's not a cinderella team. A cinderella team is a small school that should have no shot of making a run, but they do deserve to be in the tourney. Plus, if I have to see a below .500 team playing in the big time tourney without winning a conference tourney, I'd be really ticked. It already ticks me off that we see 6 terrible Big 10 teams in it year after year.

You're thinking of PCU which is located north of the Cities.

I think the coach should be full time. I think that way Blais would be more likely to listen to him. Plus, the goalie coach could get a lot more video watching done and even on opposing goalies. I love the idea of it being a guy like Toby K. He is known to the program and coach Blais.

And I thought fieldturf was the next great thing!?! How did they go under?

Ahhhhhh. Thank you for the info.

Did he really have the #1 job to begin with? If I'm not mistaken, Parise got the nod against UMD to begin the year and I'm sure Blais knew that UMD would be good this year.

Maybe they would, but I always will watch a close underdog game rather than the boring UF vs. Georgia tilt (even though I'm a UF fan). The great thing about March Madness is the cinderella teams. I also don't think they'd get as much TV money by having a smaller tourney. Currently the majority of the BCS conferences get in anyways, and allowing any more (if they had their own tourney) would have below .500 teams.

Yes, but the National title is played on grass and it always seems to be crappy weather. I guess I should have said that instead of getting to the big game.
