    This is what happens when people get "smarter" by looking at a map on the interwebs. Not only lack of a 5-10,000 seat arena, how about lack of ANY KIND OF HOCKEY RINK (besides maybe an outdoor) in either town? If Osorojo wanted to make any kind of educated comment on this topic, maybe suggesting the teams play in Thief River Falls or Crookston (not to mention Warroad or Roseau) would be a better idea...
    Current NCAA D-I rinks I've been to:

    AHA:
    B1G: UMich, MSU, UMinn, Notre Dame, OSU, UWisc
    CCHA: BSU, BG, FSU, LSSU, MSU, MTU, NMU
    ECAC:
    HEA: UMass
    NCHC: Miami, UMD, UND, SCSU, WMU
    Independant: ASU


    Inactive: UAH, ASU, BSU, UMD, UND, NMU, Notre Dame

      UAF and UAA would be just fine in this supposed new conference. Hockey means enough to both schools that they aren't going to just idly stand by. Shoot, after all this dust settles it'll be nice to finally have the GC matter for something besides bragging.

        Yep, it is obviously a sin for a tech fan to wear a sioux jersey DURING A MICHIGAN-RPI GAME!

          In reality you had the newest arena and in many peoples opinion didn't need state money. On the other hand, UMD and SCSU were old and needed it.

            Should be an interesting conversation....

            "Sources indicated that the remaining members of the WCHA — Alaska-Anchorage, Bemidji State, Michigan Tech, Minnesota State and St. Cloud State — were meeting via teleconference Thursday to discuss matters."

              Fine, but we didn't get any state money when we built it, either. I was only addressing the idea that the Minnesota legislature built arenas all over the state.

                  Meeting probably went something like this:

                  If you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me

                  BRING BACK PAT RICHTER!!!


                  At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

                    Hopefully they discussed different strategies for headhunting. We have two seasons to beat the **** out of them.

                      Don't blame the players. I'm sure they didn't get a vote.

                          Maybe if Tech would try "goalhunting" they wouldn't have both feet in the grave.

                            No, the blame for that is firmly on the shoulders of the B1G Mistake, UND and DU.

                              Tech will still have a team and a league, they will just be DII like BGSU and NMU. Enjoy it, win a couple games. Buh-bye.
