I agree though, I think seeing Michigan/Michigan State at JMSIA every once in a while would be sweet, but there's no way they'd go for it.

I wasn't even thinking about those two - I had teams like Western, Ferris, and BG in mind.

Yeah, I'd love to see Ferris come here. I could whip out my FSU jersey if we're getting beat too badly.

But we're already going to be doing Europe trips (apparently) a couple times per decade?

**** Michigan and State, why would we care about getting second-rate programs like that when we regularly get Wisconsin, Minnesota, Denver and North Dakota at the Mac.

Tonights tie with MTU is another wasted opportunity for NMU. While we knew they would take a hit in their RPI they also lost an opportunity to turn this game into a win in the common opponent category of the pairwise rankings. They shouldn't let these games slip away and cannot afford additional missteps or once again they are looking at a trip to The Joe with Championship or Bust!!!

Genoe kept MTU in this game. Anyone else or Genoe not being hot, and it's another MTU failure like the GLI.

Stewart kept NMU in this game. Anyone else or Stewart not being hot, and it's another NMU failure like the game in October.

Fixed.

It was a pretty even game, and both goalies kept it close. Both teams had a lot of good scoring chances.
