My dish guide shows the Clarkson/ASU game but not Mankato/Duluth

PAC-12 TV isn’t on DirecTV as of yet.

Tuned in to watch the Gophers game, they have to be bleeding money with so many empty seats?

Obviously...  they've reverted back to broadcasting the game in 1980s blurravision.

All I've got so far is the MSU radio:

Later on, for the ASU game (I hope):

The thing that really is pathetic is that their marble mouthed pxp guy gets more excited about a good drawing a penalty than an actual goal.

After two periods, Canisius 2, Union 1.

Go, strength of schedule!

[Goon]

I watched the first period and a half between Merrimack and DU. What a boring game. 

Score after two periods of play. 2-0 DU.

I tried watching some of the DU/Merrimack game as well (the 3rd period) and had to turn the channel. The only time Merrimack can get the puck in the DU zone is when they dump it in on a line change.

Yikes!

Pac 12 has a guy who has clearly never watched hockey describing college hockey highlights. Kept referring to Duluth as the Mavericks among other malpropisms.

I think my beer league game at the Air Force Academy had almost as many fans as Mariucci tonight.

We had more fans at the season broomball opener for Red Army on Wednesday night...and that was in the middle of a snowstorm!

If you're a college hockey fans, there's nothing else to do tonight in MPLS with this weather. Unless the prices are so high that no one can afford them anymore?

There were tickets all over Craigslist for around $20-$30 each.

The team isn't that good is why no one shows up.

I keep saying that embarrassing attendance isn’t good for college hockey. As much as I love anything  that makes gopher hockey look bad. Low attendance at sporting events is trending.

Attendance is down everywhere,  but they also kept raising prices and fees while convincing themselves big 10 opponents are who their fans want to see. They need to apologize to their fans. This isn't 20 years ago when college hockey was the only puck in town.

Minnesota needs UND more then UND needs Minnesota. I watch a lot of Minnesota’s games and no one shows up unless UND is in town. Minnesota doesn’t get close to 9k in attendance per game.

Mostly folks attend who have escaped ND and now live in TC area....dream on...buddy...With TV it's not about butte in the seats...it's about TV revenue....U MN sports gets lots $$$$$ from BIG network....that's a prime reason..they left UND high and dry for BIG hockey....I know UND is so envious of Gophers in many areas,for many reasons...Ralph is having trouble selling out now....and Mpls. Has a lot more going on than GF in competing for entertainment dollars....

[SiouxFan100]

As far as who needs each other the most between UND or minn I don’t know or really care.

 I do care about college hockey attendance. I do care about expanding the number of teams. Higher attendance and more strong programs help all teams.

I take issue with your characterization that people “escape” from ND for the TC. What facts do you have to make that claim? Or are you just trying to antagonize the UND fans by saying that?

You ever get tired of your own bullshi+?

Gopher women’s basketball attendance last night was 7918. Attendance for the hockey game was 7962. Of course this is paid attendance, so it is likely women’s basketball outdrew men’s hockey.
