College Hockey This weekend

[solbes]

****Shorelunch predicted a WIN by Michigan Tech****

Just highlighting this fact. They're up against that all time WCHA record, so maybe they will rise to the occasion. The record is 18 straight league losses held by CC set 49 years ago.

A Tech win would surely tap beer kegs all across the great state of Upper Peninsula!

I just can't see Tech being swept over Carnival - and BSU is such opportunity.

Actually this is true, Tech usually comes up with an upset or two on Carnival weekend.

Shorelunch was almost right on the Tech series. UND is the first team to clutch home rink for the playoffs

[Shorelunch]

Can SCSU continue their roll from this weekend? Can the Gophs continue their momentum from Hockey Day? Sounds like Aaron Marvin is at it again?

Good match-ups coming next weekend:

Sioux@SCSU

MN@Sconny

Duluth@Mankato

Not as sexy, but still good match-ups:

CC@BSU

Omaha@UAA

and then:

Tech@DU

[cbrooks]

Sounds like Aaron Marvin is at it again?

What did Marvin do now?

[Shorelunch]

What did Marvin do now?

[cbrooks]

I found an article out of Duluth News Tribune that talk about what Aaron did. He's starting to remind me of Trevor Burres(sp) out of Mankato. WCHA kick him out after so many cheap shots. If college hockey would only be more open minded about having 5 minute majors for fighting. You wouldn't have this garbage. It will be interesting to see what the WCHA does about this. Marvin has too much of a history of doing this. Remember Chay and Blake Geoffrien(sp) last year.

[scsavre]

Wait a minute, a Sioux fan, complaining about cheap shots........

[cbrooks]

Who did the Sioux cheap shot this year? There a class act all the way.

[scsavre]

Good team yes, Class act, I have never heard that before.

How many new muskie baits this off season. I was at Fleet a few days back and picked up some dawgs for $8, cant pass that up.

[cbrooks]

No new muskie baits yet this winter. I'll probably load up on dawgs and Glitter tails spinners. I just bought a trinidad reel and a talle industry rod. I'm starting to get the fever already.

I should add there's a sale on those trinidad reel on the internet.

[scsavre]

Im going to have to check on that sale. I am really getting tired of buying new reels every year.

I bet this warmth is helping you guys up there on red river. Get some of this water moving through before the fall.

[scsavre]

Sorry for the Highjack.

What were we talking about?

Oh yah, Booooo the Stinking Sioux.

[cbrooks]

g@@gle "tackle direct" for those reels. 44 degrees in GF. I can get use to this weather.

[solbes]

Muskie season doesn't start for 110 days fellas. College hockey is here and now. (And boy did my team smell up the joint again). Luckily I didn't waste 1 minute following the UMD games. Onto the pick'em results:

cbrooks 6, shorelunch 6, solbes 8, ScSavr 9, and Bear 14. Bear's obviously just having fun predicting sweeps from AA and UofM. Cumulative tallies for the year below. Will be a two man race soon if I can't make some headway.

1) Shorelunch 1.04 w/ 5 weeks

2) ScSavr 1.07 w/ 6 weeks

3) Solbes 1.15 w/ 10 weeks

4) Cbrooks 1.35 w/ 10 weeks

5) Bear 1.95 w/ 4 weeks

[cbrooks]

You can blame Mr.Scott Savre a.k.a [pleasebecomeasponser] for the hijack. The only sponser Scott needs is one for AA . Only kidding. I wish HSO would get that fix.

I'm making a comeback a little bit. Here's my picks for this week.

CC vs BSU-split

Minnesota vs Wisconsin-split

UND vs SCSU-4pts UND

UNO vs AA-split

UMD vs Mankato-split

Mich Tech vs Denver-4pts Denver

[Bear55]

Bear's obviously just having fun predicting sweeps from AA and UofM.

St. Cloud Sweep

Omaha Sweep

Gopher Sweep

Bemidji Sweep

UMD Sweep

I was just thinking the same thing, crazy weekend and we are only half way through.
