I’m sayin’ there’s a chance. Yup. I like our draw of St. Cloud. Better than UMD. And, what are the chances that Denver beats us five times in a row? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know: Michigan was awful dam good during the hula hoop era. Then, with the British Invasion, they just went away, rarely to be heard from again. They get great recruits though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time we played Denver a 5th time after going 0-4 against them in the regular season, UND won the semi-final Final Five game against DU and went on to beat SCSU in the championship. 2010 I believe. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do understand why @Goon would leave it here though. We saw what happened to Brandt on Saturday night when he was critical of the teams play on Friday. Big mistake, Berry doesn't do criticism.

Or, the other possibility is that we don't know the real story and it was an inside joke between the two. I can absolutely see both being possible. Bubbs and the squad have certainly earned some criticism this season, and rightfully so. With that said, he's a human, and I'm sure gets exhausting to hear it nonstop. Maybe some of that bubbled over? Overall, maybe developing a chip on his shoulder wouldn't be a bad thing for a stretch run? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Media better get in line. I just added it for conversation. I neither endorse it or reject it. It’s just a stat. TBH, I am not for burning the program to the ground unless this becomes a pattern. When the league was formed, former head coach Dave Hakstol said during a press conference that good teams from our league will fail to make the tourney due to the difficulty of our conference. I think we’re seeing that come to fruition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s really a clown show during those press conferences. But what do I know… I just like stirring the pot, and upsetting all the dinosaurs here.

It’s probably an inside joke. If he was throwing a dig at Brandt for making fair comments about the teams play, then yes. If it’s nothing then it’s nothing. Asking Berry if he’s insecure would be a waste of both of our time. I wouldn’t mind hearing him answer a few tough questions once and awhile, if and when they will be asked… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we’re seeing that come to fruition. Sorry, Goon, I don't think that's the case at all. I realize at the time that Hak thought that taking the cream of the crop so to speak would make turn the NCHC into a gauntlet every week with teams well above .500 being left out of the NCAA tournament. At the end of the day, there are only so many wins to go around. What's happened is the same thing that has happened in every other conference - some programs rise up to become yearly contenders (North Dakota, Denver, UMD, St Cloud State), some become a flash in the pan every 4-5 seasons (UNO, Western Michigan), and others become yearly doormats (Colorado College, Miami). That's just the way sports works. It's hard to turn that around too - just ask Indiana or Vanderbilt football or Georgia Tech or Penn State basketball.
