WISC @ NoDak 2/1&2/2

Re: WISC @ NoDak 2/1&2/2

That article makes no mention of and completely ignores TV viewership. It's an opinion piece, not fact. I could write an article that says 1+1=85. Doesn't mean it's a fact. So again, please provide TV viewership data to support your absurd claim.

So the fact that UND had the highest attendance in North America is an opinion. Got it.

Can't say I'm surprised...

No one is disputing they had the highest attendance. Schlossman said "most followed". There are more ways to "follow" or watch a hockey team than attending. Most notably, television. Provide proof that UND has more people watching their games by attending and watching on TV combined than anyone else and I'll agree UND was the "most followed" team.

I don't think they were. Your claim, so prove it.

Just asking him to support his claims with facts

Re: WISC @ NoDak 2/1&2/2

North Dakota is definitely the most followed team in the country. Their tradition and 7 titles is what sets them apart from also-rans like the Gophers.

Oh yeah, and their Friday game at Mariucci was clearly their worst performance of the season.

no this does not get old: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jXsmGTQz-I
is the Westward Ho still a bar in GF?

That video just brings a smile to my face every time. Talk about the biggest over-reaction in the history of mankind. All Newberry was doing was trying to get some fluids in Eades after the long shift he was on. Eades then storms into the bench all because Newberry got a little water on his jersey. Then the rest of the sue decide to beat up crowd and take their beer, which is apparently still the way of the sue. I'd love to see a Badger water bottle a sue this weekend.

I think if that brawl happened today, the sue would get nailed for lack of institutional control, seeing as it had happened @ DU and the Rodents too. I wonder what the statute of limitations is.......

so who's going to go all Cary Eades tonight and get mental for the sioux?

I'm hoping for two solid and fast-paced games let the chips fall where they may just leave it all on the ice this weekend UW!

You are certainly entitled to those opinions

Pattyn or MacWilliam. Who will be filling the role of Robbie Earl and flop all over the ice like an Asian Carp?

Kristo.

I'm just hoping that I can stomach watching the crappy low-def feed that we get on channel 301 or whatever. Wish BTN or NBC would have covered this one.

I hope we have a big lead by 9:00 so I can switch right over to Hawks/Nucks.

It took 8 minutes. What was the over/under, Gurt.

Soon as I saw that baby, I thought you'd have to cut the line if you wanted to throw him back.

If Newberry would have given him Gatorade like he asked for, it never would have happened. It's not Eades' fault your guy doesn't know how to listen.

Pattyn. It's always Pattyn.

ha ha, nice! I'll put $ on MacWilliam

as for the Robert Earl award? hmm....let's go with Michael Mersch, not because he dives though, because he camps out in front of the goalie and someone from ND is certain to send him flying at least a couple of times per game

No, I'm not getting him. He's not biting on what I'm throwing out there.


Funny side though, I was watching Slap Shot with my kid last night and the scene with Reg and McGrath came on where they're, well, here's the lines from it:

Reggie Dunlop: And remember I went up to your room afterwards and you were dressed in chick's clothes? Yeah, you had on this black bra with tassels! You were dancing in front of a mirror with this kinda zebra skin jockstrap.
McGrath: *****!
Reggie Dunlop: Remember how I screamed at you when you started coming on to me? And I just said 'Jesus stop it Joe, I'm ashamed of you!'
McGrath: God**** you.
Reggie Dunlop: I wanted to tell you I forgot the whole thing. Years have passed, now I'm sexually liberated. I don't care who's a (censored) no more. I mean who cares? It's natural, it's all around us.
Reggie Dunlop: Who's the owner Joe?


Little known fact is that scene was inspired by an actual conversation between Herb Brooks and John Marriucci that took place in 1976 when Brooks had to pay a visit to Mariucci over an ongoing dispute. As quoted in Herb Brooks : The Inside Story of a Hockey Mastermind, it went like this:

Brooks: And remember I went up to your room afterwards and you were dressed in chick's clothes? Yeah, you had on this maroon bra with gold tassels! You were dancing in front of a mirror with this kinda gold sparkly jockstrap.

Mariucci: *****!

Brooks: Remember how I screamed at you when you started coming on to me? And I just said 'Jesus stop it John, I'm ashamed of you!'

Mariucci: God**** you.

Brooks: I wanted to tell you I forgot the whole thing. Years have passed, now I'm sexually liberated. I don't care who's a (censored) or into weird stuff no more. I mean who cares? It's all around us in this god-forsaken hell-hole of a state.

-pause-

Brooks: Where's the goat and hair gel John?



I love how movies take stuff like that as inspiration. It makes the movie feel more authentic somehow, even without knowing at the time of viewing that it's based on real events.

Right on! Where?


I got my 14 year old kid Three Days Grace tix for tomorrow here in Madison at the Coliseum. Him and a buddy are going and I'll be somewhere in the building, just in case. Will be his first show of a band that is one of his favorites. I don't mind their latest album.

Also Shinedown and P.O.D.

Must spread.

NOW we need illustrations, Gurt!

Re: WISC @ NoDak 2/1&2/2

Nice try Gurt. Still not biting.

Though I do get the feeling you're trying to tell us something.
