I did what I always did; I picked against the home town team. With my spotty record on sports predictions, I hope that helps us raise #8.

York basically copied what Blais built in Grand Forks in the mid to late 1990's and it worked for him too. And I don't recall Boston College having problems finding space for their forwards to work their magic in the playoffs. If we can dictate the tempo of the game from the opening face-off and turn it into a track meet, we shouldn't have any problem with Northeastern or any other team for that matter.

When you come into the tournament #1 in the PWR, you tend to play with less urgency. I expect that to change next week as every game is a must win from here on out. Looking forward to seeing where we get sent.

You are one negative nellie this week! Come on, it's playoff time.

You must be in a good mood today. That was your second funny comment on this forum in 24 hours.

#haughty was for our Duluth friend who likes to troll this message board. I know it will be a tough tournament to win.

We don't have the same level of incentive that Duluth has; they are fighting for their playoff lives, while we are almost assured of getting a #1 seed someplace. But I do think our team is sick of hearing about the 1-3 all time Frozen Faceoff record and I think they will come out and treat this like any other game.

Denver even has a dozen fans in their fan base?

We had better grab some WRs in the draft this year. We have used free agency to shore up the OL, now it is time to get some receivers to stretch the field and open up holes for AP and some underneath passing routes.

Exactly, putting a at the end of it would have made it clear that it was sarcasm.

And hopefully, no flu bug sucking all the energy out of the players. That was part of the problem last year.

Different year, different team.

Look out, you are starting to sound "haughty".

If they are smart, they'll drop down to FCS and join the Big Sky Conference. Or if they don't want to do that, they'll drop the program instead of trying to survive as an FBS Independent, which would drown the athletic department in a deep sea of red ink (regardless of how much Bowl money they get).

I echo this. If the coaches deem it better to play the afternoon game on Friday, then I am on board with it.

I was reading that last night and I was thinking the same thing.

So you are going to measure a team's stock on preseason polls? You and I (and everyone else reading this) know that preseason polls aren't worth the paper they are printed on. And with some of the turmoil NDSU had to deal with during the season, to have them push SDSU to the limit in the title game is pretty good.

You don't think they did all that great? I think they overachieved considering they weren't even close to being the best Slummit League team on paper this year.

Yeah, that loss stung. Badly.

Yes, I really don't like UMD and their style of game. Lots of blocking and tackling. I hope they get called on it and we make them pay with PP goals. And this is a UND message board. If fans from opposing teams want to come on here and trash talk, they are going to get it right back. I don't go onto other team's discussion forums and make smart remarks. And I have no reason to call this team out; this is the most entertaining team we have had in several years.

Hey, I didn't start this pal, a UMD fan started this. I am just having fun with it. Too bad you can't handle that.

Uh......NOPE! I seem to remember back to back shutouts in Amsoil Arena. And it wasn't by the home team either. #haughtyatthefrozenfaceoff

That would be the UMD Bulldogs. #haughtyandproudofit
