If it had been better, Smith and the Gophers would have been able to see Meagher's halo and known that the spit was a gentlemanly sign of respect and good will and wouldn't have over-reacted to it.

        I love that Meagher's defense (or defence) was that he was spitting at the Gopher players and not at the trainer.
        World Arena is Colorado Springs. But they still have crappy lighting!

          Anything "Blank" University can be called by "Blank." Interestingly we never cringe when we hear Minnesota, Northeastern, or even Denver. We just happen to call BU by Boston University or, well, BU. However technically "Boston" is correct. Or, the almost just as cringeworthy, Boston U.
          That's to differentiate it from Boston College. There isn't a "Minnesota College" or a "Denver College" or a "Northeastern College," thus, they are referred to by the "first" name only. The University is implied because everyone knows there's no conflicting alternative. But if you just say "Boston," technically you don't know if it's Boston University or Boston Colllege - hence, the "BU" and "BC"

I have no opinion about BC or BU, but if the school doesn't wish to be called "Boston" on air, then they shouldn't be.

            ("Miami of Ohio" drives me out of my skull even though I'm not actually a Miami fan.)
            Miami University in Ohio, founded in 1809.

            University of Miami if Florida, founded in 1925.

            I wonder if one institution has a bit of a precedent on the name ...... nah, we all are mentally corrupted by NCAA football, right?
            No more slow starts to the season; we got over that hurdle. Now, Get it on!!! GO UND!!!

              Now here's a rarity...

              The Gophers are 11-12-2 all-time overall against Boston University
              Go Gophers!

                My favorite Terrier-Gopher tilt was the 1994 National Semi-Final at the old St. Paul Civic Center. (Love those glass boards.) BU scored a goal while the capacity crowd was rocking the building with the M-I-N-N-E-S-O-T-A chant. Goosebump city. BU won the game 4-1. (The National Championship game has been erased from my memory.)
                It Happened!!!!

                      I wish I was around for the 70-71 title game. Even though BU defeated the Gophers, they couldn't have been too mad about ending the season as a 14-17-2 NCAA runner-up.

                        So, I suppose we have to put the old "Maroon'n'Gold Alliance" on hold Saturday afternoon, huh? Hard to have an alliance if the two teams are playing each other.
                        Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                              Yes!! Do it!! It would be awesome if there were a few Lake St folks at the game. I would video that reaction.

                                So can the UND band lead the Let's-Go-Sioux cheer?

                                Also best available tickets are club level now, so a majority of them have been sold since the selection show.
