If Notre Dame could have their game result depend on what the Gophers do, that would be greaaaaaattttt.

Is this consolation-early/championship-late, or is RPI guaranteed to play the early game on Sunday?

I believe that's the same here in MN. Parking would be a total mess if both the football team and the hockey team played at home. IIRC, the football team has to have their game start before a certain time on the same day, or the hockey team has to move their game to Sunday. I'm not sure on the exact policy.

Hmm... wonder how the Vikings will impact that the next couple years.

Isn't the Gopher rule in effect here? So it all depends on how we do.

Already? We haven't even played a game that counts yet, and we won the only exhibition game we played with the same goal differential as the defending NCAA championship team had against the same opponent.

Sorry Ralph, but something just isn't rubbing me the right way. Our record vs. Notre Dame has been going steadily downhill as of late, and even with Kasdorf, we got pasted 7-2 against a team like BC. I'm pretty much awaiting impending doom this weekend.

I kind of assumed that the Irish would be guaranteed the late game.

Gophers hosted the Ice Breaker last season and it was announced that the Gophers would have played the early game had they lost their first. I'd be surprised if it is anything different this weekend. My guess is consolation game early and championship game late regardless of who wins.

I wish I could see the games, particularly the Irish. I want to see how their 4 Edina products play (well, really 3 as Hurley is more of an Eagan product). I kinda know Brauer and Ostlie, or their families at least.

RPI has two Edina natives also in Parker Reno and Lou Nanne.

The RPI announcer on Saturday said that RPI would play in the early game next Sunday which agrees with what you wrote.

Yes it should be.

And Jan fans will naturally be up in arms...

1) Notre Dame has been becoming a more relevant and better team for a long time now.
2) Kasdorf injured his shoulder during that game vs. BC, and that was a year ago.

Sometimes I wonder if you double-check what you type.

Hence why they're playing us.
