MTU season thread Part 3. The Mel Sky-Pearson chronicles

Re: MTU season thread Part 3. The Mel Sky-Pearson chronicles

seven.

seriously, getting to the Final five is the cake frosted. some whipped cream and a cherry on top would be great. but this season is beyond all expectations.
 
Re: MTU season thread Part 3. The Mel Sky-Pearson chronicles

So can anyone tell me what seeds play at what time for Thursday? I can't find it anywhere. If my math is correct DU beating WI means we play DU, WI beating DU means we play SCSU. Yes?

That is correct. Seeds 3 and 6 play each other at 2:07, and seeds 4 and 5 play at 7:07. So if DU wins tonight, we play DU at 2:07, if Bucky wins, we play SCSU at 7:07.

Go DU! (beating DU would also give us a chance to spank UMD again on Friday)

Congratulations to the the Tech fans and the Team, too.;)
 
Re: MTU season thread Part 3. The Mel Sky-Pearson chronicles

Congratulations to the team on a gutty win against a very good team. CC is much better than I expected and our win, especially friday, was top notch. I loved our compete level and sense of urgency.
Also thanks to all the alumni who have contributed over so many lean, lean years. This win did not just happen. Plenty of new facilities have been built and more are coming I'm sure. So this is a team win in the broadest possible way.
I agree with HF this is frosting, but it is certainly nice frosting and I'll eat all I can get.

Shirtless, can we become a tuc with one more win? I thought maybe we might after last night, but we're not on the radar in the pairwise and 28th in Kratch. If we do become a tuc, this will have some implications big time for a few people no doubt.
 
Re: MTU season thread Part 3. The Mel Sky-Pearson chronicles

I almost think I would rather have us play Denver. St, Clooud @ 7 PM will likely bring several hundred fans to the X, plus locals yokels who would hop on the wagon of any MN team first. With DU in the building at 2PM, Tech is probably assured of a mildly favorable crowd. Or, at least, a crowd of mostly empty seats. :p

Regardless, we can beat either opponent so long as we bring our best game.

ESPN being idiots goes without saying. I was surprised they even knew college hockey was having tournaments.
 
Re: MTU season thread Part 3. The Mel Sky-Pearson chronicles

And since many of you weren't around the last time Tech was at the F5, you are invited to join the Gopher tailgate behind the Dairy Queen near the Xcel. Always a fun time. Just look for the flags. :)

Rumor has it the tailgate starts at about 10am on Thu-Fri, and 8am on Sat.

Congrats to Tech on a great season so far. I think a lot of tUMD would like to see us meet again at tF5.

um, I meant "spank UMD again" in the nicest possible way... sir... if that's OK with you all.

It would a fun match up. Obviously I may be inclined to have the spankers become the spankees, if such a rematch were to occur. Hope it would be some good hockey. I always liked your fan base, not enough to marry a Techie, but you know what I mean. Good friendly sas-talk. :)

Really! That's awesome, thanks for the invite! I might show up!
 
Re: MTU season thread Part 3. The Mel Sky-Pearson chronicles

MTU has Denver in the early game on Thursday.

Knock me over with a feather. eleneki posted!.

I played with the predictor but even if we win out there are some scenarios where Tech does not become a TUC, and I couldn't get us there without winning out.

Did the team get back yet?

Looking forward to thursday afternoon.

Go Huskies!

Really, I did exactly one scenario last night and it just happened to be Tech losing to UND in the final, and Tech was still a TUC.

edit:Running a bunch more scenarios, I can't find a single situation where Tech advances to the championship game and they're not a TUC. But really, who cares whether or not Tech finishes the season as a TUC, except for maybe NMU fans, since Tech being a TUC could give them a boost.
