UA_ vs. UAA the five hole edition, 16-17

It won't be Seawolf fans packing the Sully. I'm sure, as usual, it will be a majority of Nanook fans in attendance.

Why wouldn't Nanook fans come down to Anchorage? It's actually a city. Also, that might explain why UAA fans don't go up to Fairbanks.

With the dire situation both teams face, showing up and having a strong fan presence could be the difference between keeping your team and losing it. So if the cold weather is too much for you, make sure you let the Seawolves know that's why no one cares enough to make the trip north.

I actually value my life so I make my trip down and get out quickly. Don't need to end up another homicide statistic.

Fairbanks has its fair share of crime as well. They are way above the national average for rape, assault and burglaries.

Don't forget about the meth! Not enough customers in North Pole to keep that economy going...

Erickson is suspended for Friday night’s game. He takes a lot of penalties, many ill-timed, but he is also the team’s spark plug. Now everyone needs to play with a little more grit.

Erickson will probably be wound up for Saturday night. He is a senior and I’m sure the Seawolves will have to pry the Cup from his cold, dead hands. Hopefully he can skate the fine line he "sometimes" crosses over.

Go Nooks!

UAA has one or two good players who play with an edge too.

Shades of Dylan Hubbs, he is dying to hold the cup.

Lets count the ways why the 'nooks come to town.

1. flush toilets w/ free paperwork

2. Enjoy this fancy new invention they call a shower.

3. Are escorted out of our dump by security, little do they know they have to go inside a building to pick out other people's junk.

I would need Geof to run some numbers here, but just putting a SWAG out there - <5%

You rang? < 5% sounds about right without dancing any fingers over keys. UAA has to have a lot of things bounce their way, but they've had some puck luck when it's counted this year.

Man, I'm just glad that these two games aren't the swan song of these two programs.

Good Lord, if we wanted a real city we'd go to Seattle.

Explains all the trips down to the dump, gotta "save" up, a la Charlestown but somehow dirtier.

Try getting out more.

Don't know what hit your nerve; the banter, the dissing of Fairbanks, my obvious bias with Anchorage over Fairbanks, or is it that nagging feeling that you know UAA is due for the Governor's Cup, also due for a shootout win at home. I do take a vacation once a year, if you'd like to pay for another vacation I would certainly accept since it bothers you so much.

And that's where you are wrong:

14-15 and then 15-16 and then 16-17
UA_ home games: 16-38998 2437, 16-43232 2702, 16-32635 2040
UAA home games: 16-33456 2091, 18-31728 1763, 14-27169 1941

Yes for UA_ this season the MSU numbers are included, but even if you take them out there is still a decrease in attendance from last season. While you clearly see an increase in UAA's attendance. And, our attendance is going to increase after this upcoming weekend, and we will outdraw you guys. You tell me who if any should get there team cut? The team with increasing attendance, or decreasing?
