Since Dave is so desperate for attention, we should conduct a survey or poll to determine why. I'd go with harsh toilet training coupled with some kind of abandonment syndrome. The abandonment syndrome might explain the need for attention, and the harsh toilet training would explain the whole gopher thing. A middle school counselor would be very familiar with Dave's behaviors. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team is right about where someone who knows what those numbers are rationally expected. I think for once we're going to have to defer to DaveK on this one. If there is anyone who should be an expert on underachieving, it's a Minnesota fan. Any other college hockey program with the built in advantages Minnesota has had (major university and money that goes with it, only major university in a hockey mad state, B1G tv money, etc...) would have managed 12-15 national championships easy by now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burd Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 12 hours ago, DaveK said: Duluth is a very good team and although they managed to get beat by CC, their situation is very different than UND's. Duluth was in a strong enough position in the standings as well as PWR that an unexpected loss wasn't too devastating for them big picture. They're still in good shape. For UND, being now on the bubble due to underachieving for much of this season so far, they no longer have the margin for error. If they're as good a team as I think they are, they will sweep CC and win just enough of the remaining games after that series to sneak into the field of 16 and will be very tough to beat in Fargo (even if they only manage to earn a 4 seed). However, if they should happen to get swept by CC or even settle for a split, I believe at that point we'll be able to safely say they just aren't as good as we thought they were. Yes, a good team can get beat by a bad team. It happens all the time, but not when the good team has its back to the wall. Put it this way... if CC is scary then what does that make the remaining 8 games? I think most UND fans think we are just not that good at this point and that the goal, which is not a sure thing, is to get into the tournament. We lost to much to be a favorite to win another banner. Sometimes being the underdog is OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know winning the Big Ten doesn't hold any prestige, but believe me winning the NCHC regular season title is quite an accomplishment. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1G regular season trophies end up in the equipment manager's garage along with other things which have no value but probably should not be put in the trash, like used motor oil and broken blenders. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I have a relative that lives in Fargo. Fargoans (Fargoners?) can turn in that stuff for free. Let's just say the Fargo "Haz Waste" recycling center has been visited by me a couple times ... but under his name and address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxbow6 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 If team doesn't end the season at 14 or higher in the Pairwise and misses the NCAAs it will be a huge failure. Is this team close to last year? No. Is it talent wise at a minimum the 14th best team in the nation? Absolutely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
