NMU @ Nebraska-Omaha: One Last, Final, Last Fish...

The young d-core has been getting better and more confident after a half season.

Thank God for that; I don't think Gustafsson would have survived the season playing 40+ minutes a night.

You know, there were a bunch of us on that trip, myself included. There are pictures of the Puckheads taking over the inside of the Red Army Bus. And as I recall Mojo, you wouldn't have gotten thrown out of the Qwest, had it not been for one random Aromaha fan that decided to yell out "It was Wingnut!"

Also, Meljo will attest to Jager shots being a terrible idea.

Maverick Women are BEEFY!

I also recall that the only way we could get MOJO back to the hotel was with false promises of Oystie being there, and in the end Lujo threatening to call mom. Oh and a car accident in the Gant Hall parking lot to start the trip off all because I realized just before leaving town that I had forgot my wallet.

Interesting, I have had issues getting Mojo back into a hotel room myself. Food is an answer...cheeseburgers.. Everyone remember that, it will probably come in handy

I believe it was Oystie was waiting with a keg at the hotel.

I forgot about the car accident. That was wonderful to hear. I vote another reunion road trip in the future-maybe to UNO. Iowa was such a wonderful drive

At least you made it back in a reasonable amount of time. Never listen to the kid in the car from Illinois that says it will be faster to go back through his home town. Adding hours onto an already long 14 hour drive is never fun.

This trip is slowly coming back to me. Also, never take a girl on a hockey road trip unless she is the one. Or else she ruins all the fun that is to be had.

I heard Mojo is bringing TWO girls on the trip this weekend!

Start the countdown clock, Just 21 hrs till they drop the puck!

“We’re real close,” Blais said. “But we can’t be satisfied with just being close. We’ve got to be team-hungry. We’ve got to do everything a little bit better in practice. We’ve got to be better on the power play, and we’ve just got to be a little bit better in everything we do

Landed safety in Omaha this morning around 10:30 and have been enjoying a fine stroll around the fair, but stinky city. Go Cats Go!!!

Here is a good article on the series from Chad Purcell from the Omaha Weird Harold.

I will whole heartedly agree on your statement, unless she is a hockey fanatic.....

2008-2009 Season
•Mav’s off to their best start in CCHA history. Looking forward to the start of the second half of the CCHA season.
•NMU has a rough start to the season, but are now riding high. They are coming off of their best weekend of the year after sweeping Wisconsin (winning two games straight) in Madison.
•January 9-10, 2009: Luckyjo, Kitjo, and Lujo attend the series and make yet another replacement Spirit Phone as NMU athletic department misplaces the original. NMU maintains possession of the Spirit Phone as a result of the series being split.

2009-2010 Season
And this season has scene another visit from NoClu to Marquette. Limo and party bus rides across the county and an octopus thrown on the ice at the Berry Events Center. Coincidently in front of Dallas Drake (former NMU national champion and Detroit Red Wing Stanley Cup Champion). So thus far NMU leads the series 2-0 coming into Omaha. They also have a commanding lead in total goals. Thus it would appear that NMU will maintain possession of The Spirit Phone well into the future...

But as with many things in the history of this series and The Spirit Phone...can we be so sure?

..."Kitjo" is actually Ääne jo... just saying. :P

Re: NMU @ Nebraska-Omaha: One Last, Final, Last Fish...

Absolutely pathetic game for NMU. Probably the worst game of the year or even in past 3 years. We are officially out of the running now to make the NCAA's. I hope we can catch lightning in a bottle and win the CCHA tournament because I am **** sick of this.

Re: NMU @ Nebraska-Omaha: One Last, Final, Last Fish...

Glad to see a bunch of Northern comrades last night. Life has become very, very busy, and I usually only make it to one game a weekend. It was great to talk hockey, watch hockey, and talk hockey last night with great hockey fans!

I really do think this rivalry will be continued, hopefully every year, if not every other. NMU fans, as I told my friends last night, are as good as there are in the world of sports.

As far as stories go... I remember during that NMU trip to the Joe, a bunch of us singing the Canadian national anthem at the top of our lungs in the middle of a Casino Lobby...

There was also a random night when Mojo showed up at the Civic when UNO was playing Merrimack... UNO was getting throttled, Mojo show up.. and Zanon singlehandedly won that game..
