Big Ten Hockey Conference

Wisconsin won a share of the 1942 Football National Championship (#1 according to the Helms Athletic Foundation). Of course, Wisconsin realizes that this is not the same as a real national championship and does not count it.

Sounds like the 1929 hockey championship we shared with Yale. We don't count that either. But if this championship was the result of winning a tournament held by the prevailing governing body of the sport at the time, I imagine UW football fans (not UW hockey fans trying to prove a point at all costs) probably count it. If they don't, then they're pretty lousy fans.

I am ambivalent about shootouts. If the Big Ten keeps them, I am fine. If they don't, I have no problem with that. I would actually like to see the colleges adopt the NHL overtime rules (regular season rules) where they go 4-on-4 in OT. More ice for everyone.

Only non-college hockey fans and people from Ohio would be ambivalent about shootouts, everyone else should hate them.

Oh and eods that 90% number is accurate I'm afraid.

The Gophers won a share of the 1904 National Championship (Billingsley Report ranked them as top squad for a 13-0 season, outscoring their opponents 725-12), yet Minnesota does not claim this title. What a lousy fanbase! :p:D:D

Oh come on now. Everyone knows there has never been a tournament in college football. I guess that means none of them count so it's 0=0 across the whole country.

Haha.... Re-read my post again. Carefully this time.

We don't count shared titles either. It's the part about IF UW won their title by playing in a tournament sanctioned by the prevailing governing body for the sport at the time that you either missed or ignored.

In other words, your retort was uneffective ;)

But there was in 1940 for hockey, which is my point.

There wasn't in 1929. It was a declared, and shared, championship. Which is why it isn't recognized the same way as Minnesota's other 6.

The early football championships that FS23 is bringing up are more comparable to Minnesota's 1929 hockey championship than minnesota's 1940 hockey championship.

Barry would probably tell you the same thing any pragmatic person in charge of a hockey league will tell you:

Shootouts eliminate ties.
Morons don't have enough brainpower to process the fact that ties are a perfectly logical outcome to a game where neither team wins.
The human population consists of about 90% morons.
Ergo, shootouts are probably inevitable. But it shouldn't stop us from whining about it.

I think that number if far too low.

You play a whole game (plus OT) to a stalemate, then a couple guys from each team shoot and beat (or not beat) the opposing goalie and one team leaves w/ more points in the standings than the other? Seems totally fair. Why even play the other 65 minutes? I understand the excitement, but a 2OT game in the Stanley Cup Finals makes a shootout look like a sideshow in comparison.

I support a longer OT at 4x4. Go 10 minutes, take two guys off the ice and see what happens.

Of course all of this assumes Wisconsin actually begins winning games in OT in the next decade, maybe I should support the shootout...
