MTU @ MN: Whose coach gets fired first?

Re: MTU @ MN: Whose coach gets fired first?

I think most of us are hoping that will happen. What better way for Hill to get a job offer then the success of the program? So that's reason enough for the Gophers to step it up.

His name has been mentioned (among others) in regards to a potential coaching vacancy at Western Michigan. Ohio State might be looking around too, IF John Markell goes to Bowling Green. MTU?

Lucia stays. Maturi would rather have a lame duck hockey coach during his last year of retirement. Both contracts are up at 2012.

Bruininks has already offered Maturi a 2 year extension. Eric Kaler will take over as the 16th Pres. of the UMN this summer and will most likely approve it. Bruininks will remain at the U as a faculty member. If Maturi gets his ext., there's a pretty good chance Don Lucia will get his (2014-15?).

Plus Maturi is raising funds to build a $20 million practice facility for Tubby by the fall of 2013. Tubby was whining again for it after the Ohio State loss. The reasoning is other Big Ten schools have one and that's why we can't win big games.

Re: MTU @ MN: Whose coach gets fired first?

A couple questions. Which will have a higher total?

MTU injuries or MTU goals?
Number of times Dirk uses his high-pitched voice or number of times Sonmor curses the refs?
Amount of time before Twitch (or other MTU fan) posts the Ronald McDonald insanity or Scooby posts something negative (post-game only)?
Number of MN fans in the MTU section who are friends with MTUers, or MTU fans?

Maybe Sonmor. He announced his retirement from radio broadcasting this year. Mike Eaves, who played for Sonmor when he coached the Minnesota North Stars, was asked last weekend what his favorite memory was of Glen Sonmor. Some of you may know that Glen has a artificial left eye as a result of an injury he sustained from a slap shot taken by one of his teammates when he played for the New York Rangers in the 50s. Lou Nanne has talked in the past about times when Glen's glass eye actually fell out on the North Stars bench in those days.

Eaves mentioned a game when Sonmor, who was notorious for getting on the refs, went completely ballistic regarding a bad call by the ref. Eaves said the ref skated over to the North Stars bench, put one hand over his "right" eye and said, "Glen is that you?"

Any of the local Techies going to be in attendance? how about the non-locals? Sounds like a couple of us will try and be at Sat's game, with probable SENANICANS afterwards.

I do hope that no more MTU players get hurt. Not that it really matters for the season; I just hate injuries. Also, a word to the wise: wear extra-thick shinguards. Fairchild has been known to try and take out opponents' legs by shooting pucks into them.

Well, you already know, but for anyone else interested. I will be at both games, I had a huge brain fart and bought tickets to Tech games, so now I may as well use them. I got tickets with the Alumni group from Tech, now I just need to figure out how to get my tickets before the game.

As for postgame, I'm looking for something both nights. Sounds like Brent and I and whoever else may be interested are going out for an encore of last Saturday, hitting up downtown. I don't have anything for Friday post game, if anyone wants to plan something, I'm game.

Apparently when you buy a house, have to make mortgage payments, buying paint, a refrigerator, couches and other odds and ends you don't have a lot of money you want to spend on going out.

Some of us still find a way.

We should probably figure out how the travel arrangements will happen, since it's a 7:30 start, and I'd prefer not to cab to the Mooch, then cab to DT, then cab to Chez Rube.

This. I'm not exactly rich, but I find a way to go out once in a while. Still not as much as I'd like, but hey, we all make sacrifices.

I could drive to the game, park overnight on campus, and we can cab from there. I'd just need a ride back in the morning.

Take the bus.

Re: MTU @ MN: Whose coach gets fired first?

I've walked from Mooch to DT after games before. Even in the winter its not that bad. Takes like 30-45 minutes.

Otherwise the Bus from campus to DT is pretty often. Take a 6 or 16.

Re: MTU @ MN: Whose coach gets fired first?

Why is Friday's game a 6:30 p.m. local start?

The games have slightly odd start times, as the Friday game starts at 6:30 (as FSN has a double-header cooking with the Wild playing at 9:00) and Saturday’s game starts at 7:30, both live on FSN.

**** that. Do I look black or poor to you?


edit: JF, I've made that walk, it isn't bad, but I think I'd just get a cab, it would be about $10 cab ride, which is worth not having take 45 minutes of drinking time to walk. Plus, I don't want to walk that much in the new boots.

Pssh. Paint's easy. You wait until summer, buy a keg and get two dozen people to help you with it. Usually people bring a load of grilling food and you have leftover for a couple days on top of it.

Wait, what? Is this some sort of Minnesota joke where we rehash headlines from a season or more ago?

Then you have to move stuff out of the way! 95% of the painting is done. Just need to fill the place with furniture.

I hope Tech shocks Gopher fans and comes out with one point...

Tell her to stop being a woman, it doesn't have to be fully furnished by July or anything

Furniture is cheap. Its called Craigslist. Its not like she has to go to Pier 1 Imports.

Yup. Looking at Craigslist stuff.

Myself, I'd pay more for furniture just so I don't have to get it off Craigslist. I like knowing with relative certainty that someone wasn't murdered or a cat didn't give birth on the couch I'll be sitting on.

I don't think the couch would be possessed. Plus don't exorcisms cost money or something? Again why not spend that money to upgrade your couch? Not having puke and jizz stains on a couch is typically a nice feature.
