Which was today. Their luck ran out.

I don't think they are good enough.

Rob Bollinger. Former offensive coordinator for UND football. Took a job at Bemidji State. His son Brooks was a starting QB at Wisconsin and later played in the NFL for the New York Jets, Minnesota Vikings and Dallas Cowboys.

Okay, Mr. Beanpot. Boston College and Boston University. That better?

I really dislike Minnesota, Denver and the two Boston schools (BC and BU). Everyone else is "Meh".

Not Frozen Four, WCHA Final Five in St. Paul. Before the league was butchered and watered-down.

I went to enough Final Five tournaments before realignment and the hate for Gopher Nation grows on you quickly.

Agreed.

With you on 1, 2, 5 and 6. Lukewarm on 3 and 4.

Wow, some of us hate every other team except ours! Even I am not that vindictive.

Anyone but the Little 7, Denver or Duluth.

Sports Illustrated has the Twins winning the AL Central by 1 game. I'll believe it when I see it.

That is good to know. Thanks!

Serious Question: Did this start with Hakstol before he left or is it mainly a Berry problem?

No thank you. All this does is remind me of the train wreck of a season we just finished. That said, I hope we keep the title in the NCHC.

All mid-majors have "limited resources", but that doesn't stop them from making noise in March. If making the NCAA tournament is not our goal, we should move back down to Division II and join the NSIC. Their tournament is in Sioux Falls, just like the Summit.

Good point.

How about we start with a 20 win season and go from there?

Blais had never been a college head coach before he was hired here in 1994.

As an assistant. NOT as head coach. Big difference.

ARE looking at, my friend. ARE.

What I meant by "high school mentality" is that some people don't care whether we win or lose ("all about the relationships" and "all about teaching life lessons"). That simply will not foster a winning mentality and attitude.

Opps, never mind. My goof.

Actually, you are making my point for me. Blais, like Smith, was not a proven commodity. But look at what he did in three short years (11 wins in 1994; NCAA title in 1997).
