Fighting Sioux Hockey Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 Poll UND is now rated #4 behind Minnesota. I think even if we take only 1 from BC we may move ahead on the rodents Quote
Goon Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 Minnesota should have been bumped down more for losing to Maine. Quote
sioux fan in phoenix Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 The USA Today/American Hockey Magazine poll has the Sioux at 3rd & the Gophers at 5th. Not that polls are all that accurate, mind you... Quote
UMDDogz Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 UMD 14th...GO DOGS!! I was in Connecticut over the weekend so I didn't see or hear any hockey action. Sounded like the Dogs vs. BC game was pretty hot!! If only we could have beaten Michigan State, we'd probably have moved up even more...maybe as high as 12th. Oh well...we played some tough games, all against top 11 (at the time) opponents. Think the Gophs should be lower as well. They lost to #13 Maine, and beat UNO (after finally waking up in the 2nd), a team who has not even received votes! While the Sioux have only played one game, beating #15 UMD 3-2 at REA, I think the Gophers should be ranked lower than UND as UND has defeated a top 15 team. Quote
jk Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 No offence to anyone, but who cares where UND's ranked? I can understand UMD fans caring and being excited, because they've been lost in the woods for a long, long time, but I would rather not have the target of a high ranking too soon. Quote

I can understand UMD fans caring and being excited, because they've been lost in the woods for a long, long time, but I would rather not have the target of a high ranking too soon. Cheers to that. I also don't care how much we outshoot our opponents this year. The score is the only thing that matters. Quote
DamStrait Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 ... who cares where UND's ranked?... Amen to that. As Sicatoka always says, "The only pole that matters..." Quote
UMDDogz Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 I'm not a big poll watcher either, but it is a matter of respect. Good luck against BC! We softened them up for you!! Quote

The Sicatoka Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 The only poll that matters is the pole you raise a championship banner on. Quote
CoteauRinkRat Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 The only poll that matters is the pole you raise a championship banner on. I agree!!!! Quote
Greyeagle Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 I agree!!!! I agree too. I don't like have the bullseye on the Gophers back. Quote
Superman0099 Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 I'd rather we stick around 4th - 7th to keep out of the line of fire. a #1 ranking never gets you anywhere. BC has to come into the REA this weekend with a #1 all over them, in one of the toughest places to win, against one of the best teams in the nation. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they struggle this weekend. I don't think they've been gelling as well as UND has. Quote
UMDDogz Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 I agree that BC wil struggle this weekend. If they couldn't beat #15 UMD in a neutral site, I think they will have big problems dealing with the #4 Sioux at REA!! Good luck this weekend!! I'll be listening! Quote
