    I know everyone measures success by nattys but winning the NCHC is no small accomplishment.  We hung 2 banners this year so please don't belittle that accomplishment.

    When did we start hanging conference tournament banners?

    Just to clarify, to put down new logos they simply shave a little ice down, put down logo and put water over it.  They don't melt the entire ice sheet.

    It takes a long time to melt an entire sheet of ice.   Just the same, it takes a long time to put in a new sheet of ice.

    The sheet of ice being used today is the same sheet of ice the Force played on.

    Even at the Xcel they simply cover the ice for concerts or state tournaments (wrestling, dance, etc).  Could never get the ice out and in that quickly.

    I was at the Force game on Friday, March 19 and the NCAA logos were already on the ice.

  3. In any other year with the Conference Tournament being the weekend before the NCAA playoffs, I would say having a bye on a Friday would be a good thing however this year with the extended timeframe I’m not sure. Duluth hasn’t played a game in 12 days. Up until last night, UND hadn’t played in 11 days.

    Maybe AIC will have a positive test and we'll get a bye too? That would even things up with Duluth.

    Or the NCAA freaks out and cancels the Fargo Regional because COVID was in Scheels Arena.

    Sad to hear of the passing of Irv Cross, but damn...seeing some of those old 'NFL Today' promotional cast photos takes me right back to my childhood.

    I was endlessly fascinated by, and will never forget, Jimmy "The Greek."  What a personality he was.  And Irv was the perfect, smooth and mellow antidote to Brent Musburger, who has to be the most universally unloved, "why's he always pulling for the other team?" CFB sportscaster of all time.

    Sports on TV without much in the way of gimmick or hype.  Seems so quaint and pure in retrospect.

    I also dearly miss halftime highlights on Monday Night Football, when there was no other way to see what happened around the league the day before.  Now get off my lawn!
