airmail Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 The Poll Good job Sioux, but I don't like that target on your sweaters... (oops... is this old news? ) Quote
CoteauRinkRat Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 maybe we can hold on to that number 1 ranking on their for a while now, at least more than a week Quote
Diggler Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 It looks like UND was #1 in the poll last week too. Who knew. Quote
Superman0099 Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 Anyone else get a kick out of the shot they took at the gophers? "there gopher fans, we made you smile" if you didn't check out the link they gave do it, its.... humorous Quote
WPoS Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 you guys gotta decide whether you like INCH or hate it, because I find it odd when you get praise it is ok, otherwise they are a bunch of hacks...make up your mind! WPoS Quote
ScottM Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 you guys gotta decide whether you like INCH or hate it, because I find it odd when you get praise it is ok, otherwise they are a bunch of hacks...make up your mind! WPoS Hate INCH, generally. Hate polls, polls don't skate. (And Charlie don't surf ...) Quote
kr Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 I'd give INCH a bench minor -- 2 weeks ranked at #1 compared to an article about Goalie Curses, no mention of Gino and/or CB in their top ranked college coaches, bench minors to the city of Grand Forks and Matt Greene -- who else (at this point in the year) are they going to rank #1? They did give some love to the Red Pepper ..... and Tim Hennesey likes talking to Jess from INCH ..... they are another source for college hockey so that's good, but are they Sioux friendly? no ...

dunker2001 Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 I have never liked INCH. The only thing I ever look at is their poll and the smarta$$ remarks they make there. Quote
redwing77 Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 INCH is still a hack website. UND is number one because he can't justify putting anyone else there. We've simply been TOO GOOD to ignore poll-wise. How much do you want to bet we get a bench minor for attendence this weekend? Quote
jimdahl Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 I actually find their general stories more interesting than USCHO's (general stories = not to be confused with USCHOs excellent game recaps ). However, part of the "interesting" is that they try to be more controversial, inject a lot more opinion, write more light-hearted, and let the pulse of the fans (message boards) influence their writing. A lot of those traits make their writing seem less professional, but they seem to have consciously chosen to do something different from competing with USCHO on seeing who can deliver the hardcore news the quickest. They do seem to have the pipeline into UND's official photographer (and none others) since a S. Gaddini photo graces the front page EVERY week. Perhaps that's just an attempt to placate some of you (since we can tell from their articles that they devour the message boards). Quote
MinnesotaNorthStar Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 INCH is entertaining to read...but the quality is not the best. The Globe and Star is still more credible when it comes to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. Found on a Cocktail Napkin...Greatest College Hockey Eateries... Red Pepper, Grand Forks Quote
Sioux Guy in St. Paul Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 It will deffinately help in the pairwise rankings as well. Quote
UMDDogz Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 Dogs drop 5 spots after sweep by SC. Can't see them climbing next weekend...even with a decisive sweep of BSU. Quote
schmidtdoggydog Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 Dogs drop 5 spots after sweep by SC. Can't see them climbing next weekend...even with a decisive sweep of BSU. Didn't Bemidji smoke them one game last year? Quote
jk Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 http://www.insidecollegehockey.com/7Archiv...wizard_0212.htm The comparison of Maine and ND is a riot. A real treat. I love having access to another college hockey website. Quote

I love having access to another college hockey website. This is hilarious. Especially since my parents work for Meritcare. They would laugh too. Of course, they don't understand hockey. Quote
dagies Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 http://www.insidecollegehockey.com/7Archiv...wizard_0212.htm The comparison of Maine and ND is a riot. A real treat. I love having access to another college hockey website. I thought that was great too but I don't know where they got that "players don't go to class" thing. It's happened but Blais has been very upfront about addressing it and I doubt that is no different than anywhere else. That one kind of bugs me that they would make it sound like our players don't go to class. Quote
sioux fan in phoenix Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 "North Dakota. No one forfeits wins for being dumb."--INCH. That's pretty brazen, calling the Sioux players dumb... Quote
CoteauRinkRat Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 "North Dakota. No one forfeits wins for being dumb."--INCH. That's pretty brazen, calling the Sioux players dumb... INCH thinks they are funny when they write that kind of crap. Quote
DMT Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 I think people look into INCH's articles a little much. They are usually a good read. I don't think they even take themselves seriously. Quote
CoteauRinkRat Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 They are usually a good read. when is that? Quote
schmidtdoggydog Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 I enjoy INCH. They provide good information and don't take themselves too seriously. A person doesn't always have to agree with their point of view, but I think they are very knowledgeable. Keep in mind for as few writers as they have, they kick out a lot of info. Sure, sometimes it reads like a rag, but USCHO does too as does this board on occasion. I met the two main INCH guys in Buffalo last year and they are humorous, fans of the game and had some nice things to say about ND and our tradition. I can't fault that! Quote
