Fargo does think highly of themselves.

Can't tell you how many times I've seen this:

See you at the "World Renowned Fargo Film Festival" this weekend. 

[Oxbow6]

Will be heading down I-94 tomorrow morning.

 

"Can't wait"!

One could argue that the top four teams in the NCHC over the first three seasons of the league are playing in Minneapolis this weekend:

You have to understand, row5, that not everyone evaluates cities according to bowling alley count.

I want to see the UND team that wants to win it all and everything inbetween...to bring home all the hardware. Keep the foot on the gas.

[yzerman19]

Need to really take it to them...the longer the Dawgs stick around and the more confident Kas gets...well...I'd rather be up 3-0 with them on their heels after 20 (captain obvious here).  

UMD HAS to win a game this weekend or they are done.  Its really that simple.  There is no scenario where they lose 2 that they make the NCAAs.   Winning one game results in the edge of the bubble, praying for no PWR upset auto-bids.  Although praying, for example, for the Gophers to lose is likely not foreign to the Dawg faithful.

NCHC brass are smilin'.

This is what the NCHC Frozen Faceoff was always dreamed of looking like.

Who's gonna take home the hardware???

From the Pairwise I ran the dogs with one win are in even if gophers win auto.

Luckily for UMD all the NCHC teams at the frozen face off have good pwr.

Red was quoted saying it would be good for the conference to get more than one team in the NCAA tournament.  Michigan is not going distance. Hopefully it's Penn taking that 14 spot.

Duluth will take the 3rd place game if it's Denver....St. Cloud would like some revenge though.

Let's find out who the best team in NCHC really is 

Then let's keep it going to see who's the best in the country

I have a feeling the best in the NCHC is the real test in all of this

I saw them as the last team in if only RMU and MInny get in as auto-qualifiers outside of the top 16...so they'd be holding their breath...

 

what I am getting at is that they will be playing desperate to not have their season end and to control their playoff destiny

[Cratter]

I think the NCHC does a pretty good job putting on the Frozen Faceoff and will only continue to get better as the years go on ( more fans = higher NCHC budget?)

#FrozenFaceoff is the third trending topic in Minneapolis today.

A month leading up to the game they put Frozen Faceoff "flags" on the street light poles.

They promote it at the Minneapolis Visitors Center at the Nicollet Mall. 

Fan Fest outside (although most people are at the Sioux pregame party at the Pourhouse) the Target Center and decked out inside.

Just got the end of the interview with Faison listening online: "It happened in the Denver airport, I had it with Bruce (WCHA commissioner) he (paraphrasing) wouldn't do enough when Minnesota and Wisconsin left, we had put to much (resources) into this program to sit around and do nothing." 

Then Faison made some phone calls...
