SIOUXELEVENS Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 No a chance there was over 5000 actual butts in the seats at the hockey game, hope they brought some recruits in to see the atmosphere, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the hockey fans decided to go watch women's Bball instead. I guess it makes sense if they want to watch a winner...is the UMN women's bball team any good? 8 hours ago, John W. said: that's a prime reason..they left UND high and dry for BIG hockey.... I'm not sure any of the B10 teams left anyone "high and dry", let alone a team that is now in the NCHC. How many titles has the B10 won since their inception compared to the rest of the leagues?

farce poobah Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Final from a packed Mariucci tonight: Ferris 3, Minnesota 2. I know it nicks our strength of schedule but that was still fun to watch. Maybe Minnesota should steal SCSU's head coach again .... might work eventually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting tidbit from the BTN booth during the game: BOTH of Minnesota’s goalies would be starters for 50 other NCAA programs if they played somewhere else.

burd Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I don't know which program "needs" the other more. And don't care. But it's pretty obvious John W needs UND fans for validation of some sort. Not saying that's a bad thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildfan Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Okay, Were the BTN teams not forced to leave and create the hockey conference by contract once a certain # of B1G programs had hockey? I thought that was the their reasoning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
