If our program is at the point where we need nationally recognized football schools as opponents to bring in hockey fans, our program is in Wisconsin territory trouble
Hmmm, that stinks. We had very few issues at my place with the steaming as far as buffering goes. The only complaint we had were the terrible camera angles and the lack of replays.
Seriously, it is much clearer. I suggest you move on whilst still kind of agreeing before the barbs and hurt feelings creep in and threaten the foundation of that which is the the rock that is Gopher Hockey. Ski-u-mah!
Yeah, not really sure because my Comcrap internet usually sucks but it held up really really well for us at my house.Yeah, not sure what the issue was for me. Didn't any issues with BTN2Go. Glad at least some Gopher fans were able to watch without issues
I just don't get why Notre Dame's "national name recognition" should play any factor in whether we play them or not. Are people saying that if they got rid of Jeff Jackson and fell back into a period of mediocrity they would still be an attractive opponent?
I don't think the fact they are a nationally recognized opponent for football has any bearing on how attractive they are as an opponent for hockey.
Like someone said above as a reason why we shouldn't hold the fact they won't play us in football against them in hockey, "football has it's own traditions".

SOME long stretches of mediocrity? Until Jackson came along mediocrity was generally the measuring stick for good seasons around South Bend.

I know it was only streamed, but it was also free. I'm sure you would have paid for better coverage, but if I wanted to watch the BU-BC game Friday it would have meant buying a month of athletics coverage. Just as an example of the non hockey-state options we have to deal with...The game on Saturday wasn't televised, it was streamed. And it was borderline unwatchable. I'd take the Anchorage game feeds over that hot mess any day. At least the commercials were entertaining
No, I'd wager they're mainly an attractive opponent because they are a top 10 team. And reading your blog post, I agree that Notre Dame gets more from the arrangement than Minnesota does, but frankly for all the reasons you list that goes for most teams Minnesota plays. I agree that the "name brand" recognition thing is mostly useless, aside from a scenario where some guy watching TV in his underwear in Baltimore might be flipping through the channels and see "oh, Notre Dame" and keep watching.
Something that I've wondered actually. I much prefer the setup with both benches across from the boxes, but both are apparently acceptable (page 10). But weirder things have happened in the past. IIRC, BC actually had their bench extend into the offensive zone in the early days at Conte Forum before they were forced to fix it.
I'm not sure what that means... Of course he is.
