    Why doesn't MN ST host in Minneapolis every other year? Do they?
    I will not be out cheered in my own building.

      Whether you like the ESPN announcing crew or not, I would recommend WRBB for the 4:30 game. Northeastern student radio consistently has one of the best broadcasts in the country. Also, listening to the audio allows you to multitask and watch the UMD/BGSU game.

        A regional with an atmosphere! No wonder so many of you are ****ed about it.

        Great uni game. ND-Clarkson was also easy on the eyes.

          For years I argued that games at the X were home games for the Gophers but was told repeatedly that they weren't. So neither is this.

          Don't like it? Bid to host.

            Gopher fans have lots of room to talk on this subject.

                It wouldn't seem right if we didn't.

                  And I agree that the games at the Xcel were home games for the Gophers. Providence wasn't the host., but they got home advantage anyway.

                    So much for catching the beginning of UMD/BG before heading downtown.

                      Mark Divver reported Providence did not put in a bid for the next regional cycle, conflict with another event.

                        I thought he said Brown didn’t put in the bid.

                            Kind of how I feel about it. Besides, if North Dakota was in everybody would be howling about them playing in Fargo. And there’s not much point in anybody holding it against Providence that they basically played at home...the NCAA and the selection committee put them there to maximize attendance and revenue.

                            In a perfect world, the NCAA would lower the dollar guarantee for regionals to encourage more schools to bid for regionals and balance things out more. But the problem with that logic is the NCAA still gets its $150k guarantee in the current system where most schools don’t want to risk losing the money if the attendance doesn’t pan out. The only way it will ever change is if the NCAA only gets two or three bids to host regionals in a given year.

                              That was a major choke by MSUM's PP unit. PPG: 44 (1st), GWG: 32 (1st) and they can't bury a PPG (0-3). 4/6 goals by Providence were PPGs.
