Pretty tough to come in and replace Woog and Mazzocco, they certainly need some work but I'm sure we will all get use to them in time, hopefully they get a little better as the season goes on. I do miss Woog a little more, LaPanta isn't doing that bad of a job.

Woog and Mazzacco were awesome together. Woog has clearly lost his mind and they are weaning us off him all together though. I still dont know what happened with Mazzacco. Was he fired, contract disagreement. Or what.

He was wat better than Lapanta, but at least Lapnata is a huge hockey fan. better then any one else I could think of.

I really dont like Robby inksmanacowawaskiinski... or whatever it is.

I think Frank was a little to honest to the lack of Gopher effort on some games last year. I think it was a game against UND last year where he flat out said the Gophs were not playing hard enough, and even Wooger winced a little bit.

FSN seems to want homers as announcers, and did not appreciate the critical assessments - even though I think Frank was spot on.

I miss Frank. He was a good announcer. When my daughter was about 3 or 4, I convinced her that Frank had a muskrat sleeping on top of his head. That's how I got her to watch games with me.

Frank was good. He was just a voice and face that you could relate with Gopher Hockey. I have heard that his contract with FSN was up last year and FSN, like most, is making cuts and they want LaPanta to be the do-all for the station. Lapanta is bad, but he will get better or I will at least get used to him or just tune him out. As for Wooger. People rumored that he would just get drunk before the broadcasts or he was losing his mind or whatever. I didn't mind it because they were having fun in the booth and they worked well together.

Chorske is a WIP at best and McClanahan is beyond boring. The best so far has been Gorg. The guy is relatively funny although over the top at times. I know some people don't like the guy, but he sure seems to know his stuff.

Up until 3 or 4 years ago, Frank and Woog were my favorite pair. But they just kind of lost what they had. Some great & funny moments between those two. I don't know what was going on with Doug the last 2 or 3 years, but I prefer to remember the great broadcasting (and coaching) that was his.

I think both Lapantha and Gorg are pretty decent announcers. But they just don't scream college hockey to me like Frank and Doug. And I don't see that changing either. Still, I think it was time for a change.

I also kind of blame the on-ice procuct for their fallout. When the Gophers were playing poorly, which was a lot over the past 2-3 years, they just ended up getting way off topic and not following the game as closely. Might not be an excuse, but I think that may have played into it.

Woog was the worst thing about Gopher hockey, worse than the product the last few yeas. He routed for the other team half the time. It was ridculous to hear him rave a bout how good the Sioux or St.Cloud were. Lapnata isn't great by no means, I would love to hear Wally back on the TV. The best play by play team ever is Shaver and Nanne, in my opinon.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
