West Regional - Minnesota/Robert Morris & St. Cloud State/Notre Dame

Re: West Regional - Minnesota/Robert Morris & St. Cloud State/Notre Dame

Yeah, cause DL and I are the same person. :D

To be fair though, a rematch after we played a pretty good game the first time around this season would be a fitting ending for one of these team's seasons. Have SCSU and MN ever been at the same regional before? I don't recall that happening since we went to just 4 teams at a regional, and honestly don't ever recall it happening.

SCSU lost to Michigan in 2002. This was the last year of eight team single site regional playoffs. The Gophers were there too, but played in the other bracket. That meant even if both teams won out there, they wouldn't have played until the Frozen Four.

I'm hearing a rumor of a Ticketmaster promo code that gives you $30 off the package (I had originally heard only $3 off). If true, could someone rep me the code? I'd be super grateful. :)

Has the "participated in the 2014 West Regional" banner been hung in the concrete center yet?

I'm sure that will be (or was) a proud moment for Jan fans.

I figure the "West Regional Champion" banner would go up in October.
 
Re: West Regional - Minnesota/Robert Morris & St. Cloud State/Notre Dame

Should be a fun one. Nervous about the way the Gophers have played of late with the loss at Michigan to end the regular season and the egg at tBTT. Notre Dame beat one of the odds on favorites to win the whole dang thing in the first round of their conference tourney. SCSU had an egg of their own in the first round of the NCHC playoffs but everyone knows what they are capable of when playing well. Robert Morris.....well, I have no idea what to expect until I see them play in person.

Not looking ahead on anything here. Beat RMU and we'll figure it out from there. All I know is Saturday and Sunday look great weather-wise so the tailgating should be fantastic!

Sure but we also know that doesn't happen too often in the post season. :D

They were 6 team brackets, not 8. There was only 12 in the NCAA Tourney at that time. Top 2 Teams in each regional got Byes.

I give Minnesota a 35% chance of getting to the Frozen Four. It took a lot of Simple Math to get there.

Not sure we can be as proud as you are of using the same tired-*** joke in every thread you post in.

Yup. Thanks for the correction. The important numbers part of the equation was crowded out of my aging feeble mind because that was the infamous Year of the Molly when we remember the Huskie getting an old-time hockey lesson from the ugly hats...hilarity ensued. :D
 
Re: West Regional - Minnesota/Robert Morris & St. Cloud State/Notre Dame

Hey, aren't you on my side? :p One frozen 4 does not overcome a lifetime of swooning.
I agree with your point. The Gophers' recent play just doesn't have me bubbling with confidence though.

I'll always have tArrogance, just not really feeling like trashtalking with the way the Gophers have been playing. I'm lame, I know. Lol!:o;)

He can keep using it since it's funny because it's true.

:cool:
Good luck with Robert Morris. God knows you guys are going to need it considering your performance issues with 4 seeds.

Thanks. But better to have issues localized to #4 seeds rather than NCAA tournament games as a whole.

NCAA Tournament wins this decade:
Minnesota: 2
St. Cloud State: 3
