MafiaMan Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 yeah, but he was supposed to be a gopher... they just ran out of scholarships. Well, everybody knows that the only reason Herb Brooks wasn't allowed to take the 1979 Gophers and nobody else was because the Olympic committee only felt it fair to have a few kids from outside of Minnesota represent the USA.
Mariucci Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Marc Johnson (Wisco), a few BU guys Ken Morrow (stud defense, don't know where he played), Eruzione (captain, BU), Christian (UND) changing to D, those were the most important players on the Olympic team. Several MN guys also, which is why Gopher fans like to pull a Bison and claim a paper NCAA championship that the Sioux won. 9 Gophers, 12 Minnesotans overall on the roster plus the head coach so yes Minnesota hockey fans certainly have a lot of pride when it comes to that team.

MafiaMan Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Really? '85 Georgetown beats Villanova 9 times out of 10...but not that ONE time.
siouxweet Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 '85 Georgetown beats Villanova 9 times out of 10...but not that ONE time. 2011 fighting sioux beat michigan 7 out of ten times, but unfortunately not that ONE time either. in a one and done these things happen and that is the beauty of sports, on any given night.
UNDBIZ Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 2011 fighting sioux beat Michigan 9 out of ten times, but unfortunately not that ONE time either. in a one and done these things happen and that is the beauty of sports, on any given night. FYP. Yes, even in hockey. UND was way better than EVERYBODY that year.
MafiaMan Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 1998 fighting sioux beat michigan 9 out of ten times, but unfortunately not that ONE time either, especially since it was in Ann Arbor and Michigan had the hometown Yost folks going mad. How on earth Michigan was a #4 seed while Michigan State and Ohio State duked it out in the #2 vs #3 game is beyond me. in a one and done these things happen and that is the beauty of sports, on any given night. Fixed your post.
smokey the cat Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Really? You were how old at the time and did you watch the game live?
UNDBIZ Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 You were how old at the time and did you watch the game live? No. But, it's only supposed to be a fluke when the other guys win. 1
siouxweet Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Fixed your post. not really relevant because it is my understanding that it was your fault they lost to michigan that day

Blackheart Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 So was the bigger upset BU beating the 97 Wolverines in the Frozen 4 or the 98 Michigan squad taking down UND? (disregarding the fact that it was likely MafiaMans fault in 98)
burd Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 So was the bigger upset BU beating the 97 Wolverines in the Frozen 4 or the 98 Michigan squad taking down UND? (disregarding the fact that it was likely MafiaMans fault in 98) BU beating UMich in '97.
MafiaMan Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 So was the bigger upset BU beating the 97 Wolverines in the Frozen 4 or the 98 Michigan squad taking down UND? (disregarding the fact that it was likely MafiaMans fault in 98) In all seriousness, the '98 Wolverines beating the Sioux at Yost wasn't nearly as big of an upset as people think...that Michigan team was loaded. Had that game been in Grand Forks and UND pounced on that 2-0 lead like they did, I think Michigan would have folded like a pup tent and lost 7-0. 1

squirtcoach Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 We can play that game all day. For instance, had half our team not left in 1980 for the Olympics than we would have 6 and UND would have 6. . No, Woog would have choked against Badger Bob. (Hint, what year did Romanuik and Herter play)
smokey the cat Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 No. But, it's only supposed to be a fluke when the other guys win. Missed it on the first time around.
The Sicatoka Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Allow me to be blunt: Hakstol signed a new deal (to 2017 I think) as his father-in-law stepped away from heading the Alumni Foundation. I think everyone, including Dave, knows he needs to hang a green banner (north end rafters at REA) under this deal or (a) he'll be confirmed as UND's "Doug Woog" and (b) he won't be signing a new deal. He's setting his defensive corps for the future as they take longer to mature. The forwards are lined up. Dave knows. He'll execute, or he won't. 4

Goon Posted November 27, 2013 Author Posted November 27, 2013 Allow me to be blunt: Hakstol signed a new deal (to 2017 I think) as his father-in-law stepped away from heading the Alumni Foundation. Dave's Father-In-Law has nothing to do with this. Hak was recommended by coach Blais himself... Hakstol stands on his merits alone.

MafiaMan Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Mafia Man jinxed the team didn't he? Sheesh...tell a story once in front of 50 folks at the Hoggsbreath... 1
Goon Posted November 27, 2013 Author Posted November 27, 2013 Sheesh...tell a story once in front of 50 folks at the Hoggsbreath... I want to hear it again. I thought it was funny.
