Yay, a game Tech can actually get motivated for! Maybe they'll play a full game for once.

Don't bet the farm on that.

Farm? We're not Michigan State.

Farm? We're not Michigan State.

The abandoned mine? The lakefront property?

Anyone who bets anything on Tech has something wrong with them. I'm an optimist, but I'm not that insane.

Brent did leave me that bottle of the Baltika stuff... maybe I should drink that before the game. It'll make it not hurt so much...

Ugh. So, I made this huge mistake. One of my best friends from high school is now a Wolverine. He and I have always been really competitive about everything (one of those friendships where we hate each other, yet love each other, and everyone says we're going to get married someday). We got into a debate this past summer about hockey, and now have a bet on the next game which MTU plays against UMich. $50 on every goal in the margin of victory...
* me.

The obvious solution is to bet against them.

Either Tech wins, or you win your bet. It's like buying wins. And don't listen to Pete Rose, it's absolutely ethical. When you have 3 wins, ethics go out the window.

...and the NMU students are supposed to be the dumb ones??

If NMU bounces back my guess is that Ray Kaunisto will have something to do with it. I realize he's from the Soo so he probably gets a little extra motivation when he comes to town but man the guy can flat out play hockey. NMU didn't have a ton of bright spots this weekend but he sure was one of them...really wish he would have stayed home...

Like I said, anyone who bets anything on Tech has something wrong with them.

P.S. Last year was 5-0. I hope you're prepared to drop a couple hundred on that bet.

I know, bad move on my part. I'm even admitting that.

Ke ke ke, barring any unforseen event, I'll be attending.

FIRE RUSSELL!

Hearing about that stuff from Brent friday night, I'll give you some permafrost for some.

Anytime a post starts with this line, you know it's going to be a winner.

And this is bad... how?

I do love my team, and I will be there, but my hopes are not high for this series. There's something about UP teams that seems to be kryptonite for the 'Cats.
