I was told be someone that works at Midco SN that he saw Pat arrive for an interview when they were hiring for the position. He would have not reason to make it up.

Pats big lack in skill was no sales experience. That position at the time when midco sn was getting started was weighted towards advertising sales 70% calling games 30% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still believe it was ultimately his decision not to take the job. He would have been the obvious choice. He maybe chose not to go after it in the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they offered Sweeney the broadcasting gig with nothing else required, he might take it. If they insist on the sales component, he'll probably say "no thank you".

the green team Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Quick question for those that really dive into this at this time of year. because of the pair wise predictor/calculator- if everything is entered as the weekend goes correctly, there is essentially no surprises to the selections come Sunday? Because the numbers are what they are by Saturday night, as well as the auto-bids, so The field will be known Saturday night & even the seeds? Would the only real unknowns come Sunday morning be which region teams get sent to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like we could backdoor our way to a #1 seed with a Denver loss to SCSU and a Michigan State loss to Michigan, but I think a win on Friday wraps up a #1 seed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW- I am not confident that we could win without last change this year. In 2016, I was confident if we had to play short-handed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the only real unknowns come Sunday morning be which region teams get sent to? The Pairwise Ratings have correctly predicted the tournament field for the last 20+ years. They are also committed to placing tournament hosts in their home regional. Beyond that is where uncertainty lies. Specifically, does the Committee protect the #1 ans #2 overall seeds? (The Committee Chair this year is from Vermont FWIW.) Also, and related, how far do they bend to avoid intra-conference matchups in round one?

In any event, championship teams find a way even if everything isn't entirely in their favor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxbow6 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 They will basically be home games for UND in the Sioux Falls regional. That needs to be the objective moving forward. Get a #1 seed. Winning the NCHC tournament is secondary IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beating Omaha gets them a #1 seed if I'm understanding it all correct. My guess if UND is a 1 and UNO is a 3 both well be on SF.....$$$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
