While you’re not wrong that research is the top priority, you’re off by a factor of nearly 100 on the research dollars. It’s about $7-10 billion a year in federal grants for all of the CIC. Combined.

Well, that would mean I was off by a factor of 10, not 100, but still embarrassing. Guess I thought it was 7-10 billion a year per school?

As embarrassing as it is that I was wrong, I'm pleased to know that someone else cared enough to go look it up. Some of the things that money goes towards really have such a significant impact on regular people's lives, its a shame so few people pay any attention to it.
 
Re: Big Ten > NCHC

You said hundreds of billions. Nice try. It’s ok to just be wrong.

I didn’t look it up. I knew it from years of following the CIC and the big ten. Actually, you know, researching things and understanding before I ran my mouth.

You’re also using university priorities compared to athletic priorities. They’re almost independent save for admission to the Big Ten athletic conference.

Oh sure, I WAS WRONG, thought I admitted as much, but it was the "impact" that I said was in the hundreds of billions as the "impact" is always much bigger than the amount invested, as the financial worth of the companies and inventions and products that result from the money invested into University research is multiplied many times.

I mean I think it's quite telling when a fan of several of the B1G hockey schools can claim that their University all by itself has produced more Nobel Prize winners than the entire SEC conference combined. The same could probably be said about the other Hockey conferences as well.

Re: Big Ten > NCHC

GREAT weekend for the almighty greatest conference ever in the history of college hockey, the NCHC!!!!

#1 SCSU at least didn't lose to #42 Princeton, lol. Two ties. Wow!! Impressive.

#2 Denver, not to be outdone by SCSU's incredible weekend, LOSES to #38 Merrimack, lol. At least they beat #41 Air Force.

#16 UMD ties #47 Dartmouth. I guess that's better than losing, lol.

#20 CC loses to #41 Air Force!! But at least did what Denver couldn't, and beat #38 Merrimack.

So far that's 2-2-3 vs #38, #41, #42 & #47.



Only NCHC team with an impressive weekend was the one coached by a former B1G player!!!

Actually I had one of my best nights of sleep all winter, :)

My Gophers swept Army easily without our young star Casey who was in on all 3 goals to beat the hated Canucks, which makes me feel good about my Gophers getting into the NCAAs along with 3 other B1G teams, B1G football teams won all 7 of their bowl games, my Gopher bb team won and without their starting PG, and Jordan Murphy got his 15th double double to start the season and is just 2 away from tying the NCAA record, the Lady Gopher BBers are 12-2, former Gopher Letteri scored his first NHL goal in his first game and there are 5 former Gophers in the Top 100 of scoring in the NHL this year. Minnesota alum, all by themselves, are outscoring SCSU, Miami, UNO, UMD, CC & WMU alums combined!!! The only negative is the NHL not taking an Olympic break, because I could see 5-6 former Gophers all having a shot including Kessel, Wheeler, Leddy & Haula for the US and Vanek for Austria. Oh, and both the former Gophers coaching college hockey got big wins this weekend, sweeping #19 Union and getting a split with #7 Mankato and a former Gopher is coaching an Olympic Hockey team that is thought by many to be favored to win the Gold.


Life in the B1G is good.

Re: Big Ten > NCHC

I wish I lived in a world where everything seemed great with the Gopher hockey program and athletic department.

Do you still think Blais is coaching UNO?
He's not...so no gopher there moron.
Click to expand...

That makes me a moron??? lol Are you qualified to make such an assessment?

So the old guy retired? I'm fine with that, now I have no reason whatsoever to give a sh1t about the last place team in the NCHC. And some jerk SCSU fan who is butthurt about not being able to get a win vs a lowly #42 ranked Princeton squad in two tries, and my drawing attention to it calls me a moron? lol That makes me laugh.

What? I'm supposed to feel bad for not following UNO in the offseason?? The majority of my hours at my job come in the spring and the fall, so I have a hard enough time following what goes on with my Gophers much less having one second of my life to waste being concerned about some lowly NCHC teams off season doings. By the time I get some free time again in the fall, the season is already well under the way.

And unlike SCSU fans, my school has more than one team worth following.


Hey, I know it's frustrating having been no better than 3rd or 4th string in your own state for all of these decades, and being SO far behind the #1 and #2 that you may NEVER catch either of them, but that is no reason to call someone a moron.


Several of my friends went to SCSU, as did my brother in law, but they are all Gopher fans. There is no law that says you must be an SCSU fan and that you must hate the Gophers, that's a choice you have made and some, not me, but some may say that is the kind of choice only a moron would make seeing how little SCSU has done in it's history. But I see it as heroic, good for you, sticking with your hometown team. I'll forgive you for calling me a moron, I know you couldn't help it, us Gopher fans are just such arrogant ashholes sometimes, lol.

Well, it was one good night of sleep, after one good weekend. It wasn't long ago, the weekend the Vikes lost their 3rd game, it seemed like every Gopher team in action lost.

I get laid off for the winter, so lots of time. And having a lot to say and talk about has to be better than the opposite.

I follow the Vikes, the Wild, Gopher alums in the NHL, Gopher Men's & Women's Hockey, Football, Men's & Women's BB, Wrestling, and even the Gymnastics and Swim and Diving teams, etc.. If I get bored I might check on the Timberwolves.

It's not "my life", but it's an enjoyable pastime when it feels like -22 degrees outside and I'm not working.

Re: Big Ten > NCHC

Real rough weekend for the NCHC, yet they still have 4 of the top 10 teams in the nation, including #1.

I am really looking forward to next weekend, we will get to see how all those highly touted recruits on the Gophers stack up against the Gopher rejects. JDUBBS can then go back to extolling the virtues of the little six's research bona fides and making up more BS about how their conference isn't a joke.
