    That's correct. My bad. I will let ESPN know.

      I think that would be a really cool event. That way all this nonsense about Hockey East being superior would be put to rest.

        It would be great -- but it didn't work (too expensive, dwindling attendance) in the '80s and likely wouldn't today either.

                Wisco went to BC and UNH to start the 2009 season. BC raised their 2008 championship banner before the UW-BC game, then proceeded to beat UW something like 5-3 I think.

                I remember reading that UNH's unsuccessful trip to Madison this past year was "payback" for UW for the loss UNH inflicted on them the prior year. And, IIRC, that loss (or any other, really) was the reason UW finished something like 0.003 behind someone in the RPI, thus flipping a PWR and putting UW as the first team out of the 2009-2010 tourney.

                I also think I remember reading that one reason Bucky gave up the Bank One Badger after last year was to open up two more NC slots - sounds like trips out east may be more common.

                  Somehow I had forgotten that game happened.

                  I was at the game - haven't missed a home game since my wife messed up her back for the CC series a couple years back and I had to watch on the tube. But I have no memory of that game...

                      Back in the day the Sioux went there a fair amount and usually came back with a national championship.

                        Reminds me of the 1980s interlocking schedule between the WCHA and Hockey East, where all teams played each other once a year (alternating either home or away each year) and the games counted in the standings.

                        That development was a great thing for college hockey

                        By the way Denver opens its season at UVM for a two game series next year.

                        And BC comes to Denver for a two game series in October to open DU's home schedule.

                            Funny I was thinking of suggesting this.... something similar to the ACC / Big 10 challenge...

                            Any idea how the scheduling for that is done in Basketball?

                              Wait, wasn't Wisco technically the last team out? (And it had nothing to do with the RPI or PWR.)

                                They just kind of throw interesting games together. It's great because it creates matchups you haven't seen in a while. Of course with hockey having far fewer teams it wouldn't be as rare, but it would give some opportunities for interesting matchups, or bring some big time programs to some schools that might not ever see them, like the propose BU-St Cloud game, and the Sioux-Lowell game, with both latter teams hosting.
