Minnesota at Notre Dame 11/8 & 11/9

[The Zlax45]

On the contrary, I explicitly said I don't have any problem with them playing Notre dame. Just shows how poorly you read the discussion




And I disagree, it's his opinion (hence prefixing his post with "I have no need") that he prefer we not play them. Never did he say it was a bad idea. You inferred that from his comments. You posted a tweet about the ratings for the game as if people were debating whether or not the matchup would draw interest. That wasn't even being disputed. By ANYONE. Read his follow up remarks, take the time to understand his opinion, and don't be so quick to judge.

I'm fine with letting it go, but don't misrepresent what I said.

From a non ND/MN supporter, I streamed the radio broadcast from ND to hear what was going on in South Bend after my team's game...never done that before but I has interest in the two strong programs facing off

Don't think 5M said it was a bad idea.

Of course, I didn't say it was a bad idea. There are other teams I'd rather play is all. How could any hockey game be a bad idea?

Dubbie/msoh - I'm not one to judge or give advice too freely, but most of your posts in this thread (and others lately) would go better with your other persona/sign on.

You were doing a great job of keeping the two mostly separate, but the strain is starting to show and the Dubbie is starting to overwhelm msoh. It's almost like being able to see into the womb as one fetus consumes its twin

This causes concern as we're not sure what would happen if this continues unchecked. Would msoh simply cease to exist?

Or... would the two combine sorta like the crossing of the streams in Ghostbusters to where there'd be something like a rip in the fabric of the time space continuum and we'd end up with a hybrid Gopher Hockey Fan Super Dork-Nerd D-bag of Epic Proportions?

I'll admit, that prospect gives me the runs a bit.


I have an idea that might help. Sign on as Dubbie and go troll an eastern team's thread - if I were choosing for you, I'd say BC. They already hate you (well the Dubbie part) and most of us in these parts won't even know you're doing it. Plus Dubbie's so red that he's essentially bulletproof at this point.

Anyway, by doing this, you'll get the release that the d-bag side of you clearly needs and you'll be able to protect the less d-bag side (I didn't say d-bag free side) from succumbing to total Dubbnation.


Hope that helps. I care, I really do. If I didn't care, this battle of personalities wouldn't be so hard to watch.

Also... don't cross the streams. For the love or Herb...

Absolutely. It was a good series.

I enjoyed seeing them play at Notre Dame as they handn't played there in 30 some years, there were some good story lines, and it matched up two very good teams. That said, I completely understood what you were saying and respect your opinion.

I guess we could have scheduled Alabama-Huntsville for the next four years.

No intention to re-hash any debate, I just found this interesting as a comparison for the numbers Slap Shot posted before.

@chrismpeters: RT @stevelepore Worth noting: the Michigan-Notre Dame college hockey game that followed Rovell drew 9 times as many viewers (74,000).

@stevelepore: Minnesota-Notre Dame hockey on NBCSN drew the same number of viewers (182,000) as FS1s debut Big East basketball broadcast of Providence-BC.

What Michigan-Notre Dame game is this referring to?

The link I saw on this game indicated it was from 2012.
