Re: Best Rivalry in College Hockey???
And that's changed how? Don't all Gopher fans feel that way? Isn't it a requirement? State of hockey and all...
Just kidding, I get your larger point and I still wonder how any talented player would go to any WCHA school other than ours. I wouldn't even need to get off the plane in Grand Forks on a recruiting trip and I'd be like, we're outta here. Why would anyone CHOOSE to live in that wasteland when they could live in Madison or the Cities?

Re: Best Rivalry in College Hockey???
I'm glad I instigated such an argument by starting the Badgers vs Goofers thread. Is it fair to say the trio of UND-UW-UM is the greatest rivalry in college hockey? UW and UND have a heck of a rivalry as well. It's almost like a love triangle.

Aw, good for them, when did they get that tree?It's North Dakota! You have a tree, and a hockey team. Well, I would love to destroy one of your signs of hope. And no, it's not the tree.

Love...
When Minnesota is here with all their fat guy 25 year old fans wearing those horrible jerseys(especially love the neon-urine alternate), spelling out their state and all the other stupid things they do, I'm sure that I hate them more than anything in this whole wide world.
Then, the mullets show up and I have to rethink things.
I hate them both, but I hate the Gophers more and that's probably because of the other layers that go into that rivalry. Football, basketball, Vikings, Twins, endless prairie, black flies, Minnesotans, etc.
Badgers Sweep and bring the pain!

Re: Best Rivalry in College Hockey???
It would really **** them off if you started spelling "Wisconsin" after every goal. Try it.

Re: Best Rivalry in College Hockey???
The bolded coming from a WI fan. *ing hilarious.
Yay, you can count.
As for the MN/UND/WI thing, it's not even citie/s (like BU-BC, SLU-Clarkson). It's STATES. Even tUMD, SCSU, and MSU-M fans hate WI and UND. They're not necessarily cheering FOR UMN, but.....
I mean, come on. It's Wisconsin. And North Dakota. They are actually considered "states."

Re: Best Rivalry in College Hockey???
Not a lot of mullets or rednecks here in Madison, but go to Milwaukee and all bets are off. As far as what they show on TV at the Packer games, I cannot defend those people in any way.
But we're not talking about Milwaukee or Green Bay. Those are the peasants and worker bees.
How's THAT for arrogance?

Re: Best Rivalry in College Hockey???
Please. I wouldn't even consider those people to be functioning human beings. St Cloud is a better city than any city in WI, and your typical St Cloudian has more tattoos than teeth (and that's just the women!) and an IQ of gray.
Believe me, I've been in, through, and around WI (save for Madison...why the heck would I want to go to WI's "headquarters"?!) and there's a LOT of people who look like this (this was the first image under Google search for "typical Packer fan" btw):

Re: Best Rivalry in College Hockey???
For me, DU vs. CC is the best rivarly. Can't beat it. Especially a couple years back when both teams were top 5 nationally, played 4 regular season games, shared the MacNaughton, played for the Broadmoor championship with DU winning, and played in the Frozen Four with DU winning again
Rivalries such as Clarkson/SLU, Tech/Northern, RPI/Union, Maine/UNH, Cornell/Harvard, etc. fall into a simliar boat.
But, if you are arguing "best" rivalry in all of college hockey, to me, the deciding factor has to incorporate national/regional interest. This doesn't mean that the fans of those particular schools are any more passionate, hate eachother more, the games are any better, or mean anything more to those fans than the fans of lesser known rivalries.
With that said, I'd have to put the top 4 as BU/BC, UND/Minn, Wisc/Minn, Mich/Mich St. The top spot is interchangeable each year depending on how each team is doing.

Re: Best Rivalry in College Hockey???
And I've been all over Minnesota and the small towns and cities in both states are essentially the same as are the people who lurk there.
That picture is perfect!
