You're JDUMBS. JDUMBS. Due to the "ignore" list, most people here (including/especially your own fan base) don't know you exist. Gotta be embarrassing.![]()

Using simple math...
122.626/192.042 = Michigan was at ~64% of North Dakota's level
64.039/135.339 = Holy Cross was at ~47% of Minnesota's level
Or...
192.042/122.626 = North Dakota was ~157% better than Michigan
135.339/64.039 = Minnesota was ~211% better than Holy Cross
Yes...i consider those significant differences
You're right. Plus the whioux have been known to choke on a larger stage more often than we have such as frozen 4 games. So adding that to the ranking would be unfair against whioux.After last year we may be closing the gap but still a bit to catch up.

I assumed a linear relationship within the rankings.
Point differential between the two...
192.042-122.626 = 69.416
135.339-64.039=71.3
69.416/71.3= 97.36%
100-97.36 = 2.64% variation between the two games.
Simple math and that is not significant. It's all how you spin it.![]()
But the gophers have more frozen four appearances? And less national titles? How does that work?
Bah, quit living so far in the past. You can look back one year and the current year.
Frozen 4 appearances, 1-0
McN Cup, 1-0
Final 5 title, 0-1
Add that with wins against top 5 teams this year and weeks spent at #1 in the poll. No contest.
For my rankings, a linear relationship is probably more valid using rank #.
137-21 = 116
358-106 = 252
116/252 = 46.03%
100-46.03 = 53.97%
Quite significant
They still played as the Sioux at the Final 5. http://www.uscho.com/recaps/2012/03...ing-keeps-broadmoor-trophy-with-north-dakota/This is an excellent point. The UND North Dakotans don't really have any banners or titles except a final 5.
Was a lurker for quite a while. But lets be honest here... how far back in post history do you suppose a person would have to look back to figure out people feel a certain way about JDUBBS? Hell- I am a slack-jawed, redneck, breathe through my mouth, Olive Garden loving, **** in the elevator, Sioux fan... and I "figgered it out quicker 'n a Minnesoturite cud rape a purdy lil goat".The cat is out of the bag. You only have 14 posts and you already know about him. What is your other screen name?
*sigh* I find that a little tough to buy, but there's no way I can successfully argue the point since you made the system and have all the details. I can't compete with all that inside information. I'll just say each of them probably sucked just as much for our respective teams when they happened. That makes everything equal.

The formula doesn't compare each game, but rather the quality of a team over the course of an entire season. In the 2010-2011 season, Michigan was much closer to North Dakota than Holy Cross was to Minnesota in 2005-2006.
Personally, an NCAA Tournament game is an NCAA Tournament game. If you lose, you go home. Now, a Regional Semifinal should be the easiest game a team plays (especially a top seed) in the NCAA Tournament, while a National Semifinal will be likely one of the most difficult. Of course, that is just generally speaking.
OK, that really doesn't narrow it down much. Now which long time UND poster ARE you really?
Hard to say...considering that we have the largest fanbase in North America.![]()
Are you counting all the flickertails to get that number?
The only number that matters is #1...as in North Dakota has the #1 following in North America.![]()
I'm assuming this is another one of your made-up rankings that you created.![]()
Is Mills a Gopher fan or just a UND hater?
