Maybe a sconnie fan that sees this can chime in. Just curious @SchlossmanGF: RT @AndyJohnsonB5Q Wisconsin can't convert on the PP. Now just 9 for 92 on the season. Ranked 59/59 in the country. Golly that is a terrible powerplay. Quote
Goon Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I have watched some of this game, I guess there is a reason, that attendance is dwindling in Madison, I don't know if would walk across the street to watch this style of hockey, it's brutal. Quote

Against a vaunted Big Ten rival, on a Sunday night with nothing else going on, Wisconsin draws 8,547. Abysmal. Quote

Oxbow6 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 So with PSU play last night the Big 10 hockey conference is really a 5 team league. Quote

It didn't take long for Mankato, St Cloud, or Bemidji to be respectable after becoming D1 and I think it will be the same for Penn State. Hockey is far from foreign in PA, they have 2 NHL teams and youth hockey is booming. Quote

Eaves still has 4 years left a poster on that link said and it would cost Wisconsin a $1,000,000 to buy him out. Ouch. Quote

It just takes landing a couple big recruits then things will start flowing at penn state. Look forward to watching UND win the natty in that state as well Quote

If it is I'll just repeatedly bash my head against the bar and squirt jalapeno juice into my eyes Witty stuff. I know some Sioux fans are annoyed by Gopher fans on the board but I find most of your comments aren't bad at all. Humor on the board...+1. Back on topic, Wisconsin fans aren't sold on Eaves and many are frustrated with next year's schedule including non-Friday and Saturday games. Can't say I blame them... Quote
Wilbur Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 I've said it before.....Minnesota rolls to the league title next year. Wisconsin won't be anything special, Mich State....meh.....Ohio State...meh....Michigan has to be better, but not better than Minnesota. I guess give Penn State some time? Put Minnesota on the Woody Hayes trophy now. Quote

They probably changed it to the Jim Tressel trophy... oh wait....he got in trouble too Uh, do they still have a trophy? Quote
Frozen4sioux Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Listening to these announcers trying to make this sconnie - penn st game exciting Is brutal. Although I do like how they have pointed out three or four wisco dives that the refs didnt bite on Quote

Frozen4sioux Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 I heard that....to be fair it was after the one 90 second spurt of activity but if that gorgeous hockey im switching to basketball. Quote
