UNDMOORHEAD Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 10 minutes ago, DaveK said: If they were just barely beating mediocre teams you might have a point, but (as Schlossman has mentioned numerous time on the College Hockey Today podcast) Penn State is beating teams so convincingly that you just can't rationally dismiss their success as being nothing more than the result of a soft schedule. The fact that they got a win and a tie at Notre Dame is pretty strong evidence that they're the real deal. Chances are many teams could play Penn State's schedule and have a pretty good record, but very few if any would have a record as good as Penn State has. I guess it doesn't really matter. You can only play the teams that are on your schedule. They'll be in the national tourney and have the chance to prove people right or wrong depending on where you stand. 1 Quote
farce poobah Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Speaking of mediocre teams, one delivers a shocker tonight. Merrimack 3 BU 1. Also, in a non shocker, BC 2, UConn 1. Quote

While I find this tradition boorish and played, I don't believe any UND fans' intentions are to disrespect the anthem or the flag. I pointed out this older man who sits next to me at CC games who yells, "Let's go Tigers!" At exactly the same spot as where UND fans yell, Sioux! His retort is that it's different because it's only a CC fan or two and plus this guy is starting his cheer right "around" the word brave whereas UND fans are deliberately trying to cover up the word, brave. I called him out on his home team bias-why is it ok for one side to do it but not an opposing team. Thoughts? It ain't different no matter the numbers, hometown bias IMO, a wrong (not that I'm calling it a wrong) don't make a wrong right. Quote
cberkas Posted January 27, 2017 Author Posted January 27, 2017 Buccigross saying Ohio State plays in too big of an arena and they need a 3,000 - 5,000 seat arena, he also said this about the Kohl Center. Quote
