Prpichrocks_19 Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Oh my GOSH!! He really needs to shut the hell up!! I cannot stand listening to him! FSN is the channnel i get!! Quote
ScottM Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 So, don't listen to him. Change the channel, read a book for once, etc. Quote
Goon Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Mute button. I think FSN needs more woog and less Masucko. Quote
nodak hockey fanatic Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 i actually don't mind wooger so much. he's not a complete homer, and usually has some decent insight to the game. surprisingly he is usually complimentary to the opposing team if they deserve it. i was at the games this weekend, so didn't hear his commentary, but the sioux didn't deserve much praise this weekend.

jk Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Woog is fine. When the Sioux have carried the play in recent years, he has had plenty of good things to say. Quote
MafiaMan Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Did you pay any attention at all to the five minute discussion on Saturday night between Frank and Doug regarding the Sioux nickname? Doug and Frank were very complimentary of the nickname and logo and offered some insightful thoughts. Yea, they're homers and yes, Frank is blinded by his maroon goggles, but they do offer some good points sometimes. Quote
Stromer Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 They are always good for some laughs. I don't see how people get annoyed because even when they are being homers (like after JPL's kick), you have to laugh. Frank constantly saying he wasn't drunk and Woog comparing Finley to his Christmas tree was great. Quote

The kick was very minor, I thoght at first they were talking about something simular to the Westrum incident, it wasn't even close the part that kills me is before they went to the break Frank goes I hear from the trailer that there was a kick, we see that when we return.

SportsDoc Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 I like Wooger. He's a Gopher, and I know that. He has given the Sioux a lot of credit the past few years, and I appreciate that. I can listen to him. Dubay and Mozako, not so much. Quote
FIRE HELMET GUY #26 Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 I like Wooger. He's a Gopher, and I know that. He has given the Sioux a lot of credit the past few years, and I appreciate that. I can listen to him. Dubay and Mozako, not so much. I was thinking the same thing, Wooger has always been pretty good to the Sioux I thought. I wish I could have heard his rant on Finley being compared to his Christmas tree. Quote
MafiaMan Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 What period was that in? I'm trying to remember, but can't...I was entertaining my six year old, too, so didn't really keep track of time. During the discussion, they cut to commercial and when they came back, Frank followed up on a thought he had before the break (something he usually forgets about by the time FSN gets back to live feed). They basically stated that out of all the Sioux logos, they feel this is the one handled the most delicately and with utmost respect. They further discussed that there hopefully will be some positive discussions with Indian tribes which will allow UND to continue use of the nickname. FSN also listed UND along with St Cloud and Minnesota as "best jersey crest" in their text-in competition. A more PC network might have left the Sioux logo off entirely. Quote
pstar Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 I think Woog does a fair job of calling the play like it is. He rips the Gopher play went it is bad (note Peltier) and praises the opponents when they deserver it. He's most interested in pointing out smart and dumb plays on either side then promoting a team. Now, the Wisco guy Saags on the other hand.... Quote
Gopherguy33 Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 If you are watching another teams broadcast they will be homers. If you want to complain about it, head it off at the pass and DON'T WATCH THE OTHER TEAMS BROADCAST! Quote

I tend to like Wooger's analysis, and his comments about players, etc. Even his "homer" comments are pretty funny, and he knows the college game well enough to dissect good and bad players. Much better than the douche-nozzles ESPN trots out in the spring. Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 What period was that in? Saturday night's game, about the 10 minute mark of the 2nd period is where they begin talking about it. Quote

Much better than the douche-nozzles ESPN trots out in the spring. I'll second that. Quote
KEH Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 I'll second that. it seems all you hear from them is hockey east this and hockey east that gets annoying Quote
Goon Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 I would take Doug Woog over Bob Norton any day, Wooger is funny and he will talk to you if you run into him. I have to say that he is a nice guy, in the two times that I met him... Quote
farce poobah Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Thinking of other college color commentators, Woog is head and shoulders the best I've heard. Besides, at least once a game he says something that Frank feels compelled to explain to the whole world. PS He IS a nice guy, I agree with the comments above. Quote
Siouxmama Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 Plus, Woog is a good sport, to agree to play bubble hockey. Rematch in February at the next UND/UM game? Quote
dagies Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 I'm already documented as a Woog fan, but thought I'd add in here. Sure, he's a homer but it's a Gopher broadcast so that comes with the territory. He does call it like he sees it, for either team, and he's plenty hard on the Gophers. I also appreciate his knowledge as he describes something that just happened. Besides all that, he's plain entertaining. Quote

The continuous mumbling of trying to get something out, which he can't quite find the words for, is hilarious. Yeah, may be the booze doing the talking (or the lack of), but it is amusing. You come to expect the things you hear from Mazacco and Woog. It's like TH being a Sioux homer. And yes Goon, Wooger is so much better than Norton, though they both have similar mumbling characteristics at times! Quote

sioux7>5 Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 Count me in as well. Woog's the best color man in college hockey, bar none. I hope you are being sarcastic. I do not think Woog is the best in college hockey. Quote
