Greyeagle Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Wow...I didn't hear that Ms Gangelhoff had passed away. What a bum rap she got in that deal. Typical though. She blows the whisle and is the one who takes the blame...Clem and co. get buyouts to leave. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> She wasn't kid innocent either. She knowingly wrote papers for the BB players, and even if Clems Haskin asked her to do it it's still wrong. It should also be noted the freshman enrollment time for this study was 1994-1997, there could not be a worse time to measure academics in MN's BB program. Hopefully this will show improvement under Monson, especially if he discontinues the recruitment of primma donna's like Humphries & Rickert.

dagies Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I know it's not without its pitfalls, but I think attendance would increase overall. What incentive is there for a Gopher fan to buy a ticket to a 2:35 pm game Friday afternoon not involving their team? None, unless they're a die-hard hockey fan. However, if it's a package deal and the price includes tickets for both games w/a short break in between, don't you think fans would go to two games? They may very well. I personally prefer the longer break! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southpaw Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 it's fine to have the #1 seed play the afternoon game. i have no problem with the play-in game winner playing the next afternoon, it's something the #1 seed deserves. However, the problem is the inconsistencies each year depending on where the Gophers are ranked. Set times for the games and leave it at that. If the Gophers are the 4/5 winner, then make them play in the afternoon just like this year will happen. I'm surprised they even let the 3/4 game be before the championship game if the Gophers lose on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MafiaMan Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Mory00, that's probably the best point made on the issue yet. Since it's UND/Wisconsin in the play-in game, the winner gets Denver Saturday at 2:35 pm. However, if it was Minnesota/Wisconsin and Minnesota won, the Gophers would wind up playing at 7:35 pm Saturday. This "rule" has got to go.

Sioux_Hab-it Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 And yet you took the time to find it and comment on it, Bigchief? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You can bet that this subject would be the number complaint out of whining Goofer fans if the roles were reversed and this assinine rule was applied in Bucky's home rink everyyear instead. Just like the Goofs did to the league in the early sixties regarding the use of Canadian players, they would probably threaten to pick up their puck and go home. Funny how they don't seem to mind anything that tips the scales of fairplay in their favor. They are so easy to hate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wreckincrew Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Hey UMDDogz, did you hear if any money for a new rink in Duluth is planned to be allocated from the Gov's proposed budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MafiaMan Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 You know what was really funny about the All-Minnesota kid plan that Woog enforced. Everyone loved it and Goldy fans would chant "USA" to other teams or you'd hear fans yelling "go back to Canada" or other stupid statements. Now that that practice has been lifted, I can't find a single Gopher fan who says he or she was in favor of that policy, even though it was preached as gospel for years.

It's hard for people to be vocal about it due to recent success. I truly enjoyed the all Minnesota recruiting, but I did realize that was restricting the success of the program. When Lucia opened the borders he was basically saying he was going to do what it took to win the NCAAs. Had he not won the NCAAs with ultimate dependence on Grant Potulny and Vanek, I think there would be a vocal minority harping on going back to the all Minnesota recruiting.

DLW4GOPHERS Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Times change, change with them or get left behind. When Brooks was coaching Minnesota got 99.9% of all the Minnesota kids they wanted. They came right from High School. Now ther are 5 div. 1 schools in the state and most kids do't go to div. 1 from HS. We may, ok we are arragont but most Gopher fans would not want to go back to recruiting only Minnesota kids. We have more NC to win and it is fun getting the Grand Fork and Madison faithfull upset when you take one of there boys away from them. Just like when we loose good player to the other teams. Tell me you don't enjoy have Mr Mn. Hockey going to UND next year. Good luck tonight and take becky out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxguyinstpaul Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 All "Minnesota Rule" crap aside, isn't the play-in winner playing on short rest the appropriate way to reward the #1 seed? It seems to me the 1 seed has earned the right to the path of least resistance. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Isn't playing the 4 or 5 seed enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
