Doesn't change the fact that GVSU would wipe the floor with NDSU.

Thats their own problem if they can't get fans to show up for their game. Its a failure of their marketing program. They've got fresh NC banners hanging in their barn. Doubt it. Most of the CCHA is accessable to them with just a quick bus ride down I-75 for them.

Yeah, he laid hands on ya kid, thats a huge no-no! not to mention he removed something of value. tell your parents, tell the principle, and the conseler and file that police report as well.

Thats just pretty short sighted there ya rodent!! College hockey needs to keep some D1 teams around or else they're going to have to go back to 12 team regionals.

There's two games that would be just exhibition games. Manitoba and the USDT.

Well, If I recall correctly, any canadian team that goes D2 for their athletic department and then wants to add hockey would have to go thru an adjustment period, like at least a year where they could only operate as a "D2 hockey team". Thats what I recall from seeing Findlay's early years.

I thought North Dakota was a Canadian team?? But yeah, the Canadians are coming...... Simon Fraser to apply to the NCAA.

Yeah, but you're only allowed 34 games per the NCAA, and 36 if you go up to Alaska. Minnesota and Wisconsin have the Big Ten Challenge with Michigan and Michigan State. along with tournements they have. Michigan Tech has the Great Lakes Invitational, a rivalry series with Northern, and the Superior Showdown with NMU, LSSU, and Duluth. Other teams in the WCHA probably have their usual non-conferce games locked in. And the worst of all of this, if the WCHA teams are only getting 4 or 6 games against non-conference opponents, they're going to have lousey SOS numbers and in turn pairwise numbers as well because throught a conference, your SOS numbers are always going to equal .500.

That, and they're idiots for not deciding to move the rest of their program up to D2 so they're wouldn't be bussing their women's basketball team past several RMAC schools on their way to some other D3 school out in Texas.

No news is good news I guess. I take it the levees are for the moment holding??

Right, wasn't it some big win against Michigan that helped get the young Fighting Sioux established as a legit hockey team?

And just what is so great about the situation that Colorado College is in? A D3 school that had to drop football because of all of the travel cost it has for its league in D3, all the while, bussing right on pass perfectly fine D2 schools in the RMAC. They should have moved up to D2.

Hell, you guys should have seen the looks on the Notre Dame fans Saturday night at the Van Andel as, and I quote, "That damn hick college from BFE, Minnesota is taking them out behind the woodshed and spankin' em." Needless to say, it warmed the cockles of my manufactured heart. Hell of a game they played both nights. Lets Go Beavers!! And of Course..... Who Hates Huntsville??

I sure as heck didn't see it coming. Hell, did anybody here at least pick the Midwest bracket right?? It sure was a wild time in Grand Rapids this weekend.

Looks like they might want to rethink that idea now.
