PLEASE play him. Maybe Bina can go for the 200 footer.

FGCU seems ripe for the picking.

Simpsons. Homer says it, but I can't remember what episode.

And a self confessed Sioux hater.

Who was in the building besides Sioux fans and a handful of Ferris St. fans? There certainly weren't any umtc fans. That place was mighty empty.

You must be brain dead. The WCHA is a conference, not a division. Teams can hang a banner for whatever they want. Go to Mankato some time. Some nice NCAA appearance banners.

Exactly. That's why Tech got the 6th seed and uw got 7th.

No they couldn't, because either CC or Tech will win and each is higher than UW.

I'm pretty sure they said last night that it would be on FSN.

They bounce around from year to year. In 2004 or 2005 it was in Grand Rapids, MN.

All these CHA teams would drop hockey without that auto-bid. Don't forget that BSU came out of this conference and just about took out Denver in 2005.

It's being played in Iowa. Grand Rapids, MN hosted it a few years ago.

I gotta believe that NCAA is really hoping for a good performance by CC. That will still give them a local team that they can try to manipulate into Denver. I think the NCAA has followed the PWR exactly, so if DU is lower than others, they are out.

Make that 4-0 Robert Morris with 3 left in the first period.

Robert Morris leading Alabama-Huntsville 3-0 with 4 left in the first. Game is on CSTV.

If both umtc and scsu lose, then uw plays the Friday afternoon, because they reseed the Final Five and both uaa and umd are lower seeds.

I don't really understand what you posted. The Final Five is money for the WCHA. The NCAA has nothing to do with it. The NCAA pays each team based on how they would need to travel to a game for the regionals. So much money for a flight or for a bus ride. For example, when going to the Frozen Four the NCAA gives the team the money to buy a ticket for each member of the team. In North Dakota's case, they take that money and apply it toward chartering a flight which obviously costs more than the NCAA gives. So the NCAA likes bus ride sites for fan support and saves them money on travel costs. Hence, once a team has to fly the NCAA doesn't care as much about where they fly to.

Yup, but I think this kid would've been a freshman when Joe was a senior. So probably not a ton of interaction. But maybe Joe was a factor.

Wasn't watching for him the other night when they played. Was checking out that sophomore line. Maybe this signing will create a bit of a pipeline.

How big is this kid?

AA really did control the end of that game last night, but I only saw AA take penalties towards the end of the game when they were trying to come back. What idiotic penalties are you talking about?

Great point. UW is the one team that scares me. I know they can't score, but they have our number. We really struggle with their style of play.

It would be exciting, but I'd rather see umtc not make it. It would make my comebacks so much easier when they tell me "Sioux suck."

No way would Bemidji ever move up. They are talking about dropping hockey back down.

Hill really rambling and ripping his umtc team in the post game interview.
