MafiaMan Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 UND now sitting at 17th in the pairwise. Cleary the season is over with. I don't even understand why they are bothering to finish out the season. Quote
SiouxScore Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Minnesota State Mankato up 4-2 on Ferris State. Minnesota State right behind us in Pairwise. Saw 4 guys were kicked out in this one for fighting too including the Ferris State goalie. Quote
MissSioux85 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 New NCAA rule allows coaches to begin contact with prospective recruits Jan. 1 of their sophomore year. That is 5.5 months earlier than the previous rule allowed. This new measure – which is effective immediately – will allow NCAA coaches to contact many prospective student-athletes prior to their being drafted in the Canadian Hockey League. The new legislation also removes limits on the number of telephone calls, emails, social media direct messages and text messages that coaches can send to those prospective student-athletes beginning Jan. 1 of their grade 10 year. http://collegehockey...s-jan-1-contact 1 Quote

We were hoping we could grow this to be as exciting as the Final Five.” I think they are missing the #1 ingredient on why the Final Five was so successful. Quote

Wow.....delusional!?? Quote
Mariucci Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 All he said was he's hoping it "could grow" to be as exciting as the Final Five, not that it is right now. And who knows how people will feel about this tourney ten years from now, it could be huge by then. Quote
smokey the cat Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Any predictions as to how few fans will be in the stands Friday afternoon? Will there even be 2,000? What happens when St. Cloud beats the gophers Friday night? Championship game Saturday afternoon, again? Quote

Biddco Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I'd say there will be more than 2,000. Probably not many more than that but still. I'm looking forward to this and hope this can build as the years go on. Quote

What happens when St. Cloud beats the gophers Friday night? Championship game Saturday afternoon, again? No Minnesota rule this weekend, Lucia insisted on that. If the Gophs lose they will play Saturday afternoon. Quote
Mariucci Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Thanks for another laugh......wow Get a clue. Quote
smokey the cat Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 No Minnesota rule this weekend, Lucia insisted on that. If the Gophs lose they will play Saturday afternoon. We will see about that. Quote
Uncle_Rico Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 All he said was he's hoping it "could grow" to be as exciting as the Final Five, not that it is right now. And who knows how people will feel about this tourney ten years from now, it could be huge by then. I'm sure it could get bigger in future years but going up against the first weekend of the NCAA basketball tournament will not help. I think it being huge ten years from now is a long shot. Quote
MafiaMan Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Any insight as to how the pairings were made? Mariucci? Quote
Biddco Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 For all you UND fans laughing at it being close to the Final Five...there are only a couple thousand tickets left. All without UND fans Quote
Blackheart Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 For all you UND fans laughing at it being close to the Final Five...there are only a couple thousand tickets left. All without UND fans Yeah, I'm waiting for al Pearson to charter a bus so we can all come down to watch the gofers play Saturday afternoon....just like the old Final Five... 2 Quote
MafiaMan Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 For all you UND fans laughing at it being close to the Final Five...there are only a couple thousand tickets left. All without UND fans So you're saying there are only a couple of thousand tickets left for a Gopher/Huskie game in St Paul on Friday night? Kudos! 1 Quote
smokey the cat Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 So you're saying there are only a couple of thousand tickets left for a Gopher/Huskie game in St Paul on Friday night? Kudos! Then why are there so many lower bowl center ice tickets still left? 1 Quote
Redneksioux Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 For all you UND fans laughing at it being close to the Final Five...there are only a couple thousand tickets left. All without UND fans Oh my gosh! This tournament could be better than the old final 5! Haha! Come back with total attendance for this tournament and tell us how well it compared to the past final 5 tickets sold. Quote

Come back with total attendance for this tournament and tell us how well it compared to the past final 5 tickets sold. Maybe Bidco meant to say only a couple thousand lower bowl tickets left. If these tickets are not part of the rodent season ticket package, which is easy to believe they are not, that means at best the rodents will sell maybe 5K. Quote
tnt Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I think the thing that made the Final Five so good was the time of year-- tournament time, and a little bit of spring in the air, on occasion. Loved being able to walk around outside in between games after being couped up all winter. Of course the rivalries and great hockey played into it as well, but when you're fighting for better seeding position in the NCAA tournament, it adds to the intensity and sence of urgency a bit. 2 Quote

So true. Playing for state pride should be a big draw. It appears it does not. Quote

If these tickets are not part of the rodent season ticket package, which is easy to believe they are not, that means at best the rodents will sell maybe 5K. I was just repeating the word I had heard. We shall see how it goes. The Final Five took years for it to gain the steam that it had. Quote

You think there will only be 5K Gopher fans? Quote
