Minnesota Gophers 2022-23

If I ever went to a UW game @ UM, I would not wear my cheesehead. I would probably pick a Natty hat. I think not the one from the NE Natty either....

UW is at UM 2/11 & 2/12. Maybe I'll finally get there this year, nothing in the way that weekend (hopefully not $7.00 gas), of course not putting snow tires on might freak some of you our LOL.

No, it's that stop at Menard's that worries us, Timothy. : D

Even though I'm from WI, I don't drink and drive. And thanks for that Menards reminder.

Are there any hotels within easy walking distance of Ridder?

For the 2018 final four, I stayed at one that doesn't show up on that list. The University Inn, corner of 4th St and 10th Ave. Walkable distance, for me anyway, two-thirds of a mile, and a perfectly OK hotel. (A few Clarkson and Colgate people there, as well).

(10th Ave - you get on the 10th Ave bridge, head south, and when you get across, you're on 19th Ave. Not at all confusing.)

The Graduate is basically on campus and a short walk from Ridder.

Ridder getting other upgrades from Watts I saw.

I hope upgrading the ice plant is among them. The ice condition at Ridder has gotten embarrassing.

Cool. The wife didn't kibosh the idea when I floated it out there last night. That post Christmas through March period is a bit of a dulldrums for her, last year she got itchy to do a trip in that period (which we did to Appleton LOL), so I can see us doing it this year. The biggest question is how fast do the tickets sell out for that series?

The demand is high to see the good teams, like UMD and OSU.

You are right, UW is not on the "good" list, they are on the "great" list. I appreciate the respect you are giving UW.

[FiveHoleFrenzy]

I depreciate the respect you are giving UW.

Fixed your post and oh...Add more thinner and that "respect" will continue to make sense to you. Medard's and Fellet Farm should have some good specials for the holiday weekend!

Well they can take the first step by not letting the kiddies play between periods. Surface the ice immediately following the conclusion of the first and second periods.

That would be a step, yes, but the problems have escalated far past just not being frozen at the start if the second and third periods. The ice was terrible even during the first for most of this past year.
