We'll see how well that draws as a comparison. .

Won't work as tonight everyone is watching Bucky vs. Miami on CBS Sports.

I see they're back on NBCSN this evening, vs. Merrimack.

We'll see how well that draws as a comparison. Pretty sure I heard the MN vs BC Friday night game had pretty big numbers too. Certainly agree with Slap Shot's point though, that there certainly was interest in the games last weekend. Numbers don't lie.

Such a terrible idea to play Notre Dame:

Minnesota-Notre Dame last Friday drew 182,000 viewers on NBCSN, drawing more viewers than two of NBCSN's three NHL broadcasts last week.

Good to hear. Anyone know what numbers BC at MN drew that Friday night? Pretty sure that drew pretty well too.

This thread could just morph into the "Minnesota vs Bucky 11/29 & 11/30" thread.

That's what I was thinking too

You need paint thinner... a lot more paint thinner.

True, there's never enough, but regardless this kind of treatment must be stopped. It's INHUMANE.

While I'm not surprised that you have friends in Waupun or that we have imprisoned gopherfans in the State Correctional Facility there, I am a little disturbed by the notion that we are forcing inmates to watch Gopher hockey as it clearly constitutes a violation of the prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. Rest assured I shall be writing a letter to the warden post-haste on behalf of your friends!

Re: Minnesota at Notre Dame 11/8 & 11/9

Try this math:

Given the reach of televised Gopher hockey games into Wisconsin (my Waupon friends watch almost every game), the lack of televised Badger hockey games combined with dwindling Kohl Center attendance figures, and it's quite probable that, on many weekends, more Wisconsin residents are watching Gopher hockey rather than the Badgers.

Re: Minnesota at Notre Dame 11/8 & 11/9

still haven't heard who the gophers should have scheduled in place of nd that would provide a better pro vs con result. Perhaps think about the supposed cons thrown around with nd before answering.

I mean they have math at the U, right?

Re: Minnesota at Notre Dame 11/8 & 11/9

Now to get someone to take the other side...why is Notre Dame so special to get rabid defense from posters supporting 8 games in 4 years?

I don't think anyone was de facto arguing in favor of 8 games in 4 years. Of all the teams you named I don't see any inherent advantages to the Gophers to replace them on the schedule, which was the counter argument being made. I am all in favor of spreading around the schedule for what it's worth but see very little harm in the future sets with ND.

Intersting how the trash talk has picked up here. I bet the MN/WI series here will have loads of bucky fans streaming across the border for the game just so they can remember what banners look like.

Honest question...

Can one be banned for having multiple sign ons?

Pretty sure that he has one for each personality.
