sioux7>5 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 My thoughts exactly. My thought is how are the goofs ranked higher then the Sioux when they got beat by Holy Cross in the west regionals and the Sioux made it to the Frozen Four. That is just plain wrong. Can someone even attempt to explain that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is just plain wrong. Can someone even attempt to explain that one. Are you serious? I can hear arguments for UND being ahead of UM, but those arguments probably shouldn't include Holy Cross references, since the two teams are completely different now as opposed to last March.

The goofs have fizzled out each of the last 2 years in similar fashion. I think it is totally relevant as Donnine the Knob is still at the reigns in Goofer land.

Last year should have little to no bearing on this seasons rankings. I hate it when they vote last years champions first the next year when everyone knows they arent as good. Let alone base an upset in the playoffs for the next seasons rankings. Everyone knows Minnesota has the best team on paper right now and i'm not afraid to say that.

Slap Shot Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I think it is totally relevant as Donnine the Knob is still at the reigns in Goofer land. I should probably just leave this one alone. Last year should have little to no bearing on this seasons rankings. I hate it when they vote last years champions first the next year when everyone knows they arent as good. Let alone base an upset in the playoffs for the next seasons rankings. Everyone knows Minnesota has the best team on paper right now and i'm not afraid to say that. I'm not bothered by UW being pre-season #1. Until someone knocks them off their block I think out of respect it's pretty cool that they get the #1. As for the Gophers? Until we know how much scoring depth they have and how consistent Briggs/Frazee are I'm not ready to accept they should be #1 on paper. btw - is it really that time of year already? NCAA hockey on the horizon, the Twins in the playoffs, the Vikings actually not sucking, lots of potential for the Wild - this is getting good.

Diggler Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Who gives a camel crap if the Gophers are ahead of UND? I think the fact that UAA got two votes is downright hillarious. They are going to be terrible this year yet upwards of two drunken buffoons actually voted for the Snowcows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Things I'm sure of: 1. Like a cheap prom dress, UW will be soon be out of the #1 spot. 2. The only 'poll' that matters is the 'pole' you raise a championship banner on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is just plain wrong. Can someone even attempt to explain that one. The Gophers finished 11 points ahead of the Sioux last year and have the #1 recruiting class in the nation this year. I don't know who'll be better between the two teams but ranking the Gophers ahead of the Sioux for now makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVCL Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 ...I'm not bothered by UW being pre-season #1. Until someone knocks them off their block I think out of respect it's pretty cool that they get the #1. ... I am. It shows the intrinsic worthlessness of preseason polls. I understand they're fun and shouldn't be held to the fire, but aren't the people making these prognostications supposedly using knowledge to compile these? Wisco definitely doesn't 'deserve' it till they're knocked off. Wisconsin #1? I wholeheartedly do not agree they should be #1. Who losses 55% of their teams offense and can be considered #1 the next season, regardless of who you bring in. Wisco should be in the top five for their coaching and recruiting this year, but anyone of the top five are better on paper and on the cusp.

THETRIOUXPER Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Polls, schmolls, the bottom line is know one can predict what is going to happen until the puck drops. Even then, there are too many intangibles, an injury to a key player, a player having an off year (for whatever reason), or just not playing to the level of preseason expectations, ect. Not really worth arguing about until the dust settles and we have nothing else to talk about next spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
