Re: 2012 Midwest Regional: Michigan, Ferris, Denver and Cornell

Before today I didn't know there was a Big Rapids, just thought it was what the locals called Grand Rapids.

So... where did you think "The Tubing Capital of Michigan" was located?

Great to see Boone at the WCHA Final 5. Will he make an appearance in Green Bay?

Associate degrees? Are you kidding me? We're playing Ferris State Community College? (let the woofing begin)

Trivia Tidbit:
DU's David Makowski and FSU's Scott Czarnowczan, both sophomores, played for the Green Bay Gamblers of the United States Hockey League (USHL) which captured the Clark Cup (playoff) and Anderson Cup (regular-season) championships in 2009-2010.

Cornell's Locke Jillson also played for the Gamblers in 2007-08.

(Edit: sorry for the repeat)

I assume the building will be completely filled with Michigan fans?

And, as if that weren't bad enough, she canceled SEVERAL interview sessions with the DU alumni magazine!

Jillson did not play for GB. He played for Des Moines and Indy:

Upshot is, I think Cornell got his original USHL team wrong. He didn't play here.

If they travel here, yes. While I am sure there are some Michigan fans here I think there are more Wisconsin, Michigan Tech and Northern Michigan fans who will be more than glad to cheer against the Wolverines. Just my hunch...

Well played. That's the kind of pre-game banter we need here. At least we're famous for something more than Tim Taylor's sweatshirts.

Tim Taylor's sweatshirts. I had forgotten about those. Good job.

We do lay claim to one of Illinois' many imprisoned governors however.

You need a new hometown crook. Gov Blago's new 14 yr vacation in Colorado' has pushed 'Pardon Me' George totally off the fishwraps here in Chicago.

Personally I encourage all who attend to cheer against Michigan.

Good luck to Denver, present WCHA and future NCHC rival! Any word on Zucker?

Presser Tuesday at noon MT. Sure the injuties will be brought up. But in the words of Mike Chambers of the Denver Post, "DU injury updates are vague . . ." Of this I'm sure, Peyton Manning will not be in uniform for the Pios.

Speaking of unis, no sioux this weekend......

Sadly, not. But they went out in style last weekend.

Mmm...Spotted Cow. Perhaps some Fat Squirrel as well. Thanks for the tips on things to do in Green Bay.

I don't know very many Michigan fans making the trip, but there will be at least a few of us.

I think having the late game could hurt. Michigan looked tired at CCHA finals after Bowling Green took us to double ot the night before. Of course, we need to win Friday for that to even matter.

Au contraire, a few of us Cornell fans are making our way from Ithaca and the Northeast area to Green Bay this weekend. We look forward to out numbering you at your host regional.

It will be interesting to not be the most hated (or numerous) fanbase in the building for once.

We enthusiastically accept everyone rooting for the correct outcome, regardless of motive.
