SIOUXELEVENS Posted December 29, 2018 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

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?

Godsmack Posted December 29, 2018 Posted December 29, 2018 Anyone in the Colorado Springs area going to either of the Air Force/Bemidji State games tonight and tomorrow at Cadet Ice Arena? Quote
farce poobah Posted December 30, 2018 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

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. Quote

Huh??? Yeah, attendance has just plummeted for UND hockey while it's gone thru the roof for the Goofers since they and Wisco went to the b10 conf and UND formed the NCHC.

John W. Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 You. Sioux -sie. Sniffers are funny....no logic to your arguments....just character assassination...As I said....BTN is why Gophers left...television, not tickets sold ,is the future....Kids wanna play on TV....on a regional/national stage...not just before a few thousand in an arena....All Gopher sports benefit from BTN $$$$$$.... One correct rational response...Gopher WBB is # 12 in the nation....Both of Lindsay Whalen's parents are GFC grads, but escaped ND for economic prosperity in MN...... 2 Quote
burd Posted December 30, 2018 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

Wildfan Posted December 30, 2018 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
