St. Cloud State at Minnesota-Duluth: Two Whole Weeks of These People? Joy...

Yeah now we don't get to to get a football game!

This will be a test for UMD. SCSU is playing very good hockey and can sweep this series. I do think that UMD will continue their trend and get a split.

SCSU will at best get a split. We can't have things go this well for this long. I wouldn't be surprised if we got swept.

I need to ask a question of the utmost importance.

Anyone know if Dubh Linn Irish Pub still gives you a free drink after the game with your ticket stub?

while it is true that SCSU has never played well in Duluth (and vice versa), I just don't see us sweeping. At the very least SCSU will get a point out of this weekend.

Just like SCSU and UMD are my 1 and 1a in men's hockey, it's vice versa for football (and I'm a UMD football season ticket holder), so I really would like to see the Huskies win. Unfortunately I will be very surprised if they do. NW Mo is too balanced on both sides of the ball. St. Cloud will likely score more than UMD did last weekend because Klaphake is incredible, but I don't see the Husky defense stopping the Bearcats, especially with their two best DBs out. I'm guessing it'll be something like 56-35. I hope I'm wrong.

As for hockey, I think St. Cloud gets 3-5 points. I really don't anticipate a sweep, but this has turned into the type of rivalry where anything can happen.

It's all or nothing. Take the 6 points or take none at all.

And I thought I was a Debbie Downer.

We're going to clobber these guys.

I'm excited to make the trip up to Duluth this weekend! Should be a fun series to watch! It is possible that we can sweep on the road again but I'm thinking more along the lines of a split this weekend.

That's if they don't shut down the entire city. 33 inches in Two Harbors? Yikes! :eek:
 
Re: St. Cloud State at Minnesota-Duluth: Two Whole Weeks of These People? Joy...

Seems like more often than not it's bad weather when the Huskies play there.
 
Re: St. Cloud State at Minnesota-Duluth: Two Whole Weeks of These People? Joy...

Good article in the DNT about what makes SCSU so good this year...its defense. Makes it more crucial to get that first goal in the game. UMD isn't the most explosive team offensively but they can put up some big numbers. Neither teams power plays are very good (which doesn't matter to UMD because SCSU rarely commits a penalty). Goals will be a premium this weekend.

^Wat? Have I been away and not paying much attention these past few years? I'd think this is going to be the toughest series tDogs have played so far, and I remember SCSU doing well in Duluth. Maybe it's cause those losses stick out so much because they make me so mad. I'm hoping for a split. I should be upset if they only take 1 point, but I feel like I'd take that over 0

We are 2-3-1 at Amsoil and 2-7-1 in our last 10 up there, so we have had our struggles of late.

So we are due. Nice.

You were due a long time ago and beat us (soundly in one game) and tied in another in 2011. This weekend will continue the regular dominance :p

Yes, however I have come to the conclusion that it isn't worth the **** walk. Especially cuz do they take your ticket stub or just mark it? I have a feeling I'd rather keep the ticket stub after this weekend.

No, you guys suck in our building, but last year you got very fortunate to not get swept at home, and in 2011 we took 3 out of 4 and outscored you 11-5 in the regular season, then despite getting swept it was two close games (1-goal win before an ENG and a 3OT game), and that was when you guys won your NC.

Huskies sweep

It is worth the walk if you go to that area of the downtown for drinking. It is not worth it, and actually very stupid, if you go to Dublihns to get your free drink when you should be racing to tSports Garden to get your pitcher (and not making me wait by myself at a table for 20 minutes)!

Exactly. You were due and 2011 was when you got your due. Now back to your normal throttling of SCSU in Duluth.
