"Kids go on a recruiting visit and, you know what, facilities are extremely important," Lucia said on his weekly show. "You want to be able to have kids come in and look through your arena and have a little bit of that 'wow' factor."

The only wow factor the Gophers should need is the mural. Cripes kids are entitled these days. I mean I get it that that's the way it is now, but I don't have to like it.

Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Out of curiosity, I checked on how much time it took construction crews to reduce the rink size at the Verizon Wireless Center in Mankato last year. They started pouring concrete on Aug. 21 and by Aug. 31 the rink was done, a new refrigeration system had been installed and new seats throughout the arena were being installed. If the money is there the Mariucci renovation could happen rather quickly.

The rink size won't be changing this off-season.
