at least there's the option of jumping out into traffic in that scenario. 

 

Traffic?

[NoDakFan]

Wow did the B1G announcer really just say "Goodnight Michigan State!"? That's something to expect from a homer announcer....Don't really like that.

The post I replied to mentioned a freeway.  I assumed there may be traffic. :-).

So it appears the attendance - Thursday B1G - was 4,283.

My math says:

4200 --> Each school bought 700 tickets = 6x700, but those were all lost in the mail and nobody came.

+  83 --> Another 83 outside paying customers came.

=4,283.

You're missing he point though.  It's nothing to do with home many games Johnson missed but how many games he played to at least have a large enough sample size so to speak (like requiring say 475 at bats to win the batting average crown in MLB) to measure one's season.  Johnson played 28 games while Vesey played 30 games so just 2 less games.  Basically Johnson played enough games to measure his season.  If one says 28 games isn't enough then quite possibly one could say 30 games isn't enough either.  

I get the point. I even agree.  I'm just saying that I don't think everyone who votes agrees, and that's why he's not getting adequate recognition for one hell of a season.

Eaves is gone.

Be very careful what you assume.  If someone had told you that there was a hockey game being played at the Xcel Energy Center, one might assume that there would actually be fans there to watch it, and look how that turned out!

With Eaves gone it is open recruiting season on Gildon.

[Ray77]

Eaves fired.

Gotta think that Johnson will stay with the women's program...

Cary Eades...talk about the irony there if that happened!  WATER BOTTLE!

Kunin's NCAA career is coming to a close depending on who drafts him.  Won't take much to get him to go CHL.  As for the tournament, it's as if friends and family didn't bother attending.

Eddie Olcyck was there watching his son play. And BTN brought him on air to tell everyone how great the B1G is at growing hockey in America. Eddie is a professional. He said it with a straight face and everything.

So 4283 is the actual attendance or the paid attendance!!

Definitely not actual, but why would 4,000 people pay for tickets and not show?

[The Sicatoka]

There were 4283 in The X yesterday if you count tickets, teams, school officials, game officials, league officials, press, camera crew, security staff, concessions staff, arena staff, and that Japanese tour group with the map that wandered into the lobby looking for the Cathedral.

I think Johnson will at least interview.  Gwoz, possibly Eades (love it), Don Granato?

I forgot that "The Gwoz" lurks out there ... 

[GoalieMask]

You gotta think Gwoz is the favorite, being a U of W alum and all.

Was thinking the same thing.  I doubt that his high school gig is how he wants to end his career.  Probably just a place to hang out before a head coaching job popped up. 

[Fetch]

Eades at Wisconsin that would be Awesome 

That could become a Hate / Love relationship 

[Fetch]

Love to see Gwoz back in the game

I think the participating schools propped up the ticket sales numbers, by selling them to themselves.   Perhaps to meet a minimum guarantee to the Xcel, or just to avoid the negative rep they'd get by announcing the real attendance of the 500 or so that were butts in the seats.  

Same thing last year ... when they claimed Thursday attendance of 3400.  (And championship game attendance of 6300.)

I've heard just the opposite. That he loves his ability to impact the lives of younger students more than his college days.

Mankato off to a quick 2-0 start over Bowling Green.

Game is on Fox Sports North.
