Re: NBC/Versus deal with College Hockey
I never once said that the Gophers were "world beaters" in 2003, or that they won the WCHA that year. However, they did look really good at the end of that year and rolled fairly easily (until the semifinal) through the playoffs. And you have to take my statement in context. I said a possible explanation for the low viewership of the 2003 final may have been that many didn't expect the final to be a close game. Just a theory. And regardless, it doesn't change the validity of my point as it relates to the larger discussion we were having until this discussion got side-tracked.
