Re: So Long, and Thanks For the Fish! UNO @ NMU, Nov. 20-21
(longer history of the Spirit Phone found in an older thread -- "Northern Michigan @ Neb. Omaha- The Battle for the Spirit Phone")
The final entry in last season's edition of the Spirit Phone history...
2008-2009 Season
• Mav’s off to 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: The series continues…with both teams fighting to a single victory. January 9th, the evening finishes with a 4-3 UNO victory. January 10th the NMU Wildcats take the game 3-2. The rules, as developed by the Coaches, state that the team in possession of the Spirit Phone will maintain possession if neither wins a majority of points from the other during the regular season. So, the Spirit Phone is buckled in and driven back to Marquette until next year.
• Series highlight: 22” Northern Pike tossed on the ice in place of the traditional Carp. On ice Spirit Phone presentation of the trophy, puzzled players and quote from Coach Kyle “Well, did we win it?”
I trust the Spirit Phone has been watched over and will be at the arena on Friday-Saturday (At the luncheon as well?).
I look forward to the trip. This past weekend delivered an interesting dichotomy for the UNO Maverick fans. Some of the most exciting and dominating play (period #1 Friday) and some blah-flat play during the 1st. and 2nd. on Saturday...
Go Mavs!!!Last edited by NoClu; 11-16-2009, 09:08 AM.Leave a comment:

So Long, and Thanks For the Fish! UNO @ NMU, Nov. 20-21
UNO makes one last trip to the great white north (which is looking sadly not so white yet) to take on the Wildcats. These two fanbases have a history of great rapport and many shenanigans, so let the fun begin!
