  • Re: Big Ten 2015-2016

    So, we have 3 spastic teams, 2 loser teams, and one old team. hard to predict anything but the losers.

    The reason for the talent in the west? Because MN didn't rely on Canada.

      Seems the B1G really does not care either. As of 6:00 pm CDT the tournament bracket still just list the seed #, not the teams.

      Interestingly, the http address for the bracket has this bit:........"misc_non_event"

        Sounds like the B10 is not happy that they took this Hockey Conference thing on.

            At least it's truth in advertising.

            Also, if they want attendance, they might consider directing their default ticket page towards allowing folks to purchase individual game tickets. Right now, they're trying to sucker people into buying the $80 All Session package.

              I just thought I would point out that there are no MU teams in the B1G, only in other conferences. There are two UM teams though. One was founded in 1817 while the other was founded in 1851. If you want to abbreviate with two letters might I suggest UM (aka U of Michigan). and tU (aka The U or U of Minnesota). Otherwise, I would suggest refraining from using UM as too many schools use it (three in DI hockey I believe and more throughout the NCAA).

                Well they've at least set straight the teams.

                But wow, that address... good lord. Does Barry run the B1G website too?

                  You would think that if they gave a crap about hockey, they would at least have an intern plug in the team names before the DQ tailgate started

                      Okay, maybe this belongs in a different thread (as it could also relate to the idea of replacing the four regionals with two 'Super Regionals'), but how would it work, logistically speaking, if we wanted to share the X with the NCHC or WCHA for a conference tourney?

                      Obviously, it'd be easier if we didn't have two quarterfinal games to deal with and just had the two semis and a finals, but could that work? I have a hard time believing so, considering how many early Thursday/Friday games you would need and attendance would still suck there. But maybe the Saturday sessions could still have a bit of the old WCHA F5 feel to them?

                        That could actually really be cool if you could get each league's tourney to 4 teams. Two games from one league on Thursday, two from the other on Friday, two championship games on Saturday. I'd buy tickets for that (but I'm going anyway)

                            Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.
