The Battle for the Imaginary Cup - NMU vs. Michigan Tech, 12/18/09 and 1/12/10

Re: The Battle for the Imaginary Cup - NMU vs. Michigan Tech, 12/18/09 and 1/12/10

Tell your arteries to clean the sand out.

By coincidence (since I had my Netflix queue set before Houghton), I have Supersize Me sitting on my coffee table via today's mail.

The plan? Get at least a BK Quad (maybe add a double stacker) and watch it. Why? Because I can. I love America.




And I know Supersize is about McD's, but I am not fond of McD's.

Get a 12 piece cheesy tots to go with it. Best fast food side dish ever.

(except for curly fries.)

I think it was Jan 8-9 that MTU is at SCSU. I'm planning to go on that Sat. Join me. :)

That just gave me a bizarre mental image... like Brent is Gandalf and we're going on a quest to destroy the one DQ Cup to rule them all. No idea why. :o

Then again, I could see St. Cloud fans as orcs. :p

I'll start working on the chin-beard, like a year ago. :eek: (Gandalf is the dude with the beard, right?)

Eastern Fake Time Post:

If MTU plays like they did against the Gophers, I would pencil them in for a close win, unless it goes OT. Then I'd favor a loss (first thought), mayyyybe a tie (second thought, depends on if the teams "care" enough for an OOC win, or they just want to go home).

If MTU plays 1/4 as bad as they did against WI.......it'll be an NMU bloodbath.


Central Real Time Post:

Nah. That chin-beard was a lot of maintenance. I mean, I actually had to go buy a comb!! :eek:

NMU is ****ed about three things:

1) Getting swept by us last season
2) Losing to us to start the season
3) Getting swept by our red-headed stepchild this past weekend

This is a matchup that runs on emotion above all. Tech is less angry and more resigned to their fate. NMU is Bald Bull charging for his big uppercut.

NMU 5-1, with potential for ugliness up to Foote v. Siddall levels.

Yeah, well, MN is/was pretty *ed too, and we didn't exactly kick MTU's arse. Just saying.
 
Re: The Battle for the Imaginary Cup - NMU vs. Michigan Tech, 12/18/09 and 1/12/10

MN doesn't consider Tech a rival though.

No, but in accordance with many a fan's expectations/hopes, this past weekend was a sort of statement series. We crush Tech? Ok, good, things are normal, we'll be okay in the end. Lose a game to Tech? Fire tDon! Barely beat them? We still have to wait and see what happens when we play a "real" team.

I get the whole rival bit, I do, but that doesn't prevent MN getting embarrassed again this year by UND, etc.

Kna'am sayin'?;)

But does Tech know that all you need to do is just throw a jab on the 3rd jump :eek: :confused:
 
Re: The Battle for the Imaginary Cup - NMU vs. Michigan Tech, 12/18/09 and 1/12/10

I call this a tie, and everyone goes home peeved.

My question is.....will one of the Fox Sports channels carry this game? :confused:

There's a severe lack of college football, there prob is SOME pumpkin-pushing (although aren't Thu and Sat the big nights?), dunno about other sports, and many other bigger hockey schools don't even play.

I wouldn't mind catching this game, if only to put me to sleep. ;)

Honestly, I would rather watch Tech get the crap beaten out of them than have to sit through another abortion of a 1-1 tie that the first Invasion had to watch. That was the worst hockey game I've ever been to, and not because Footer lost his man card. Both teams played like sh*t. :mad:
