If your best players hadn't gone pro, would your team beat BC?

Re: If your best players hadn't gone pro, would your team beat BC?

By the time York is done he will surpass UMTC in national titles (real and fake ones).

"National Titles" and "NCAA Titles" are two different things? Dubbs, the "Hawks" titles in the Mighty Ducks movies don't count.

Yes, we won a total of 7 National titles.

NCAA began awarding national championships for men's ice hockey in 1948; previous championships were awarded by the Amateur Athletic Union and by the National Intercollegiate Athletic Association.

JDubbs is counting the AAU titles Minnesota won when they were playing Brock Hall and John Oates.

You act like it was a current Gopher squad, from this era, against those teams. Hockey evolved, but when we won those titles, it was a level playing field. And your school didn't even have a sanctioned program. If they did, and had won titles before the NCAA, I'm positive you'd be counting them.

Again, we don't apologize for having more history, class, and tradition than the JV program you support that has zero tradition (unless it was ripped off from other institutions).

I guess you're right. 2003 is considered a long time ago and certainly qualifies at history...

ps- "we"? You are as much a Gopher as I am a member of the Red Sox.

1929, 1940, 1974, 1976, 1979, 2002, 2003.

And resorting to the "you aren't part of the we" tactic is the ultimate admission of defeat.

Gopher fans outnumbered Sioux fans 7-1 at the regional. Props to Sioux fans for getting that close.

No, they didn't. It was pretty close to 50/50. The Sioux fans outnumbered Gopher fans 4-1 at the F5, which is made even more sad because they were the 4th seed and the Gophers were 1st.

All this time I thought Minnesota had five titles. I forgot about those two over the Perkins School for the Blind. So, move over Denver and North Dakota...Minnesota is tied with you.

You are forgetting the 10 YOU won when you Played NHL 2001 converted to College hockey.
 
Re: If your best players hadn't gone pro, would your team beat BC?

I wouldn't care if we didn't have any fans there. I'm "content" with you know, actually winning the title.

And you resorting to Minnesota had "40x" as many BC fans in Tampa and "7x" as many Sioux fans is the ultimate admission you flunked math.

Yep, the 2011-12 Gophers traveled back in time to 1929 and 1940 and played against those teams so that there would be a huge mismatch. Not to mention, let's forget the fact that Minnesota beat the likes of Yale, Michigan, Wisconsin, Michigan Tech, etc.. those years too.

Sounds like a lot of sour grapes to me.
