    I tell ya, if I wasn't a Badger fan I could/would crush us. Lots of material to work with.

    I still rip us occasionally, but not nearly as much as I'd like to.

      We need more than just UND and UMN fans on here if we want to lock by tomorrow.
      You got one. One. The rest of us aren't fooled that easily! ::shakes fist::

      And you don't need anyone else. You're doing a fine job all on your own! Plus you have J.D., who never met a BU thread he didn't like.

        Not even close. Never once have seen a blowout haircut on Comm Ave. But kudos on the MS Paint skills.

          There was going to be a bus of students, but when the cost jumped up to an astronomical number, that plan was ditched. I know of about 10 friends of mine that are flying/busing out one way or another.

            I have a call into UMD to see if it is OK to chant "Spay the Terriers" at the game. I haven't heard back yet.

            (For those out east, UMD fans got in trouble for hostile and abusive chants when playing the Whioux.)
            Bottom Line: If you deserve to win the national championship then don't worry about who you play, when, and where. Just keep winning.
            Exception: You are right about the refs. They, no doubt, have it in for <insert your team name here>!

              Come on, this thread has had very little to do with BU and it's not like I've gone out of my way to flame the Eagles...

                It would be a better world if Gurt were allowed to design the logos for all the teams in the WCHA.

                    O. K. Not to flog a dead, rotting horse but...

                    1. I think many MN and UND fans are paying too much attention to the outcome of last week's game, rather than looking at how that game went down. Total domination by the Gophers (2 SOG for UND after 30 minutes), followed by a period where nearly everything UND threw at the net went in (it happens sometimes). The Gophers, weirdly, had no pushback whatsoever in the third period, but I think they were in shock. There is a long history between these teams of Dominate/Response/Domination reversal/Response/Domination re-reversal and so on. The Gophers will make adjustments, Lucia is not an idiot (um, or at least he didn't use to be...). As a North Dakota fan, I just don't want to see the Gophers again.

                    2. I would put the chance at UND/MN rematch at 30%. In other words, barely better than random chance. BU and WMU must be licking their chops, because this is one of those fun opportunities where they are away underdogs, but have a really good chance to win. I would put them at 52-48 type underdogs. If Western starts flying around and has some puck luck and gets a 1-0 or 2-0 lead, UND is going to be in big trouble. I would not view that as a remote possibility. MN is going to have a weird situation where they are supposedly the home team, but might have less than half of the arena rooting for them. I think that is going to energize BU - they're good enough to beat MN on a good night anyway.

                      IMO, not too bad, but I would like to see a better photo, and preferably in color to make my full decision.
                      Awesome!! If you look closely at the picture the jersey says North Dakoda. Ok, North Dakoda it is!

                        The Gophers played great for 2/3 of the game and decided to quit or coast into the final. Looks like that attitude worked out for them. :Rolls Eyes:

                          Uh, why would you, and when did you ever, flame your own team? (You do realize that flaming is negative, right?) My point is that you, as a staunch BC Eagles fan, has more posts in the regional thread where BU is playing than BU fans have posts. Which is your right and pretty much par for the course as far as BU threads are concerned. And you will most likely continue to post here, as is your choice, so the post count will continue to grow! That's a good job outta you.

                            Yes, that is what it says. Thank God for the Minnesota educational system. It has teachers like Biddy and churns out students like you.

                              That one in the first row certainly looks that way. That would be too funny and too fitting!

                              #5's jersey appears to be spelled correctly.

                                They will also have a sizable crowd on their side - WMU will have the Gopher fans and BU will have the Sioux fans.

                                Not sure if crowd really matters, but it will be there.
