All things Denver XXVI: From Boonetown to Motown

Re: All things Denver XXVI: From Boonetown to Motown

Very interesting video conversations with Ruegsegger and Rakhshani as they refelect on past, present and future DU experiences.

http://www.du.edu/today/stories/2010...04seniors.html

That is some good stuff.

I listened to Gwoz's Tuesday press conference and one of the questions was if he was going to rest some guys Saturday night if DU wins the Gold Pan on Friday. He responded that he probably wouldn't as the team is trying to get the highest seeding that they can in the national tourney. He noted one loss can have a negative effect on your PWR and drop you down a notch. He knows DU is in the tourney but he wants to also give them the best chance of succeeding in the tourney. Sounds like all the regulars will be playing both nights no matter what.

I just finished reading the Denver Post's sports section what a sick article.

That Chambers' kid is finally coming around to becoming a good writer.

FYI, No band this weekend for DU. They are off in Arkansas with the hoops team for the conference Tourney.

Yeah, sooner or later Chambers will make the varsity. In the meantime, what an outstanding piece. And props to DG are well deserved. Congratulations and. . .thanks. Well done.

Earlier this season one of us posted a conversation with someone from a D II or III school (memory's shot) who referred to us a "big time." I always enjoy getting into a conversation with someone who's never heard of DU and explaining the lack of football, and then dropping "but we DO have a hockey team." Yeah. Think Alabama or Texas or Southern Cal. Just subtract the corruption and add athletes who can actually read and write and you've got the picture. "She's the pride of Colorado, Hail to Denver U."

A road trip to Arkansas Are they being punished?

Seriously, aren't there a few extras who can play D-Rah?

Sadly, no extras. DU would want to do things right in front a of a sellout hockey crowd and who can blame them? I wouldn't throw five kids out there without backup.

The kids going to Arkansas are going there because D-I wants to do it's part to send a band like every other serious D-I basketball program would send to a conference tourney. And the kids? Most college students would have fun on a road trip to Siberian Gulag. Remember the scene from American Pie - "This one time, at band camp"......

Maybe someone can find the alums who used to play in the cage above the north goal in the old barn for this weekend.

Re: All things Denver XXVI: From Boonetown to Motown

Has anyone else noticed that as the team's winning streak grows the number of posts shrink?

Does this mean we are just a bunch of whiners?
Personally, I love hearing about recruits, that is if we don't have anything else to talk about

Winning all these game makes it hard to crank out my usual pessimism....

This afternoon Tyler Ruegsegger won the lemon. Chris Knowlton the orange, after taking the lemon last week.

Ruegs must have jinxed himself by talking about the "Rubberband Man Video" in the interview. I bet he caught some crap from the players, "winning" the lemon.

Knowlton has 2 goals in 24 games. In Vegas he'd be about 10-1 to score on Friday night. Based on the recent trend, that might be worth a Sawbuck.

There are "NO" tickets available for Friday night. I don't mean "Sold Out," I mean nobody can get or find a ticket. How bad is it? Students are willing to pay "face value" for any tickets.

And we all know how the students hated paying $18. 783 of them joined the Facebook group "Official Petition: Bring Back $5 Student Hockey Tickets All Week"

That's too bad. I was just getting used to stomping them in their Marble-laden Arena. Maybe a road trip is in order. That way we can dine at Whitey's Gastropub in East Grand Forks and hit on fat, ugly UND sweater-wearing chicks afterward??? Delich.

You truly are a tard.

I watched that too, I was impressed by his response. When you think about it, the overall number one could potentially give you a nice edge, especially if an underdog wins in a lesser conference tourney.

It's ALMOST GOLD PAN DAY PEOPLE!

INCH stands up for a Chevy Hobey or is that a Hobey Chevy?

Cheverie's Hobey to lose?

Joe Gladziszewski (3:02 PM)


That's how we see it right now, according to our most recently-published Hobey Tracker. Check that out at INCH and ESPN.com. Several other good candidates have had nice seasons, but Cheverie is tops in our minds.
