WCHA 2019-20 season: We Can Do Better Than Two Bids and a First Round Exit

Re: WCHA 2019-20 season: We Can Do Better Than Two Bids and a First Round Exit

Argggh, my first post to the forum and I feel like I've stumbled into some sort of 'name that university correctly' hazing ritual. Just to clarify, the "Lakers" in 6th place refers to the Los Angeles Lakers.

I'm amused. Keep up the good work.

There are some of us posters on this board who *still* Don't know which name they're using is.

Mankato State?
Minnesota State?
Minnesota State University, Mankato?
Minnesota State University - Mankato?
Minnesota State Mankato?
Mankato Normal School?


Ahh fu** it.

Second State Normal School from here on out.

They were on that TV show, right

LOL!

I never saw a Purple Cow,
I never hope to see one;
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I'd rather see than be one

I couldn't resist.

Minnesota State's older alumni can't get the name of the school right.

LOL. Don't worry. Us smaller schools are very defensive about being lumped in with the larger in state schools. We always have to inform people that our university exists, where it's located, and yes, they focus on academics, except Northern Michigan.

Like calling Tech (or Northern) “Michigan!” Now the University of Alabama does have the #21 team in D-1 CLUB HOCKEY!

Happens all the time in Southern Ohio. Anything that is yellow and dark and has the word "Michigan" on it is close enough for OSU fans to think one is a Skunk Weasel supporter.

I have no idea about the incoming classes, this ranking is based on a 10-minute review of departing seniors. Minnesota looks mighty, Lakers and NMU lost some serious firepower, Alaska might surprise.

1. Minnesota
2. Bowling
3. Bemidji
4. Alaska
5. Mich.Tech
6. Lakers
7. Northern Michigan
8. Ferris
9. Alabama
10. Anchorage

P.S. My predictive powers are generously described as 'flawed' and 'useless' within my family. So, buyer beware.

the University of Alabama doesn’t have a team in the WCHA. Minnesota is in the Big Ten.

GOOD GOD WE ARE NOT ALABAMA. That's like calling Duluth "Minnesota".

Oh, and to the topic's title: no, we can't. We're a two-bit league with seven teams who want to axe three in the idea that this would make them better. You know what would make them better? Not losing games to those three teams! The Gutless Wonders never cease to amaze.

You mean your elected officials are leaving your programs to die*

So then what about us?

I'm still basking in the glow of spelling 'Bemidji' correctly.

You get a gold star!

Re: WCHA 2019-20 season: We Can Do Better Than Two Bids and a First Round Exit

When did Minnesota join the WCHA.

And what conference did Minnesota State go to.

I'm still basking in the glow of spelling 'Bemidji' correctly.
