UND- 9

Miami-3

Wow, 3 guys picked CC to beat BC. I would have guessed 0 or 1. Bear55, TSteich10, and archerystud. Clairvoyant!

My St Louis bracket is completely dead. Still seeing BC fly home so early is a treat.

Yeah but that game killed my tiebreaker

At least you put in a tiebreaker, I swear I put in 93 but it didn't take and by the time I figured it out I was stuck with a big fat zero.

I am also pretty surprised there were a couple others that picked CC over BC, looks like a few more bracket busting upsets today with UNH over Miami and WM up on Denver.

Lucky I guess, you kind of knew there were going to be some upsets. I like the way CC played against the Sioux and they are the same kind of small speedy team that could throw BC's game back in their face. I don't think anyone expected a blowout.

I almost picked New Hampshire for an upset too but chickened out.

Should be a good one today, anyone else see another OT game between the Sioux and Denver?

Not to take anything away from Denver but I'm very confident in UND today. The last time they played UND didn't bring there average game that day. They didn't have a few players in that line up either.

I hope your right brooks. The Sioux came out very flat against RPI and their first power play was pathetic. I thought much of the game they just didn't look sharp. I love the Sioux, but an effort like that against Denver isn't going to cut it. This is also the most neutral ice that Denver has seen all year against the Sioux too. I liked to see the Dogs and the Sioux at the end.

I was pretty confident in my pick of CC upsetting BC for a few reasons. the biggest one was that they played tough against what may possibly be the best team in the nation, ND. that proved to me they could be a legit contender in the tournament. although their record wasn't the best looking of teams in the tournament, if you look at their matchups in their last 10 games or so you can see they started to click and figure everything out.

this was similar to Western Michigan, all season long the beat or competed with their best competition, and struggled with some of the worse teams which hurt their record. I really wasn't all that surprised to see them keep it close with Denver. Had they matched up against a majority of the teams in the tournament other than DU, I strongly had them under consideration to be an upset team as well.

Merrimack is my only disappointment so far, I expected far more from them. I also considered, and should have, picked New Hampshire over Miami but wasn't quite sure which NH team would show up to play.

]Tie breakers are for children, I am the only one who picked Michigan.

I had Michigan in the Frozen Four. Of course, that is the only team that I have correct in the FF. I overestmated Miami. Thought Denver would win the rematch with the Sioux. When I picked Yale over UMD, I really wanted UMD to win...so I was wrong, but happy. I'm sitting not too bad in the standings right now, but I have nothing left...

Agreed, let's go for an all WCHA final.

Hmmmm I am at a philosophical crossroads, do I cheer for my current conference or my new Big10 conference? One must also take their Pickem bracket into account. I also hate both the Sioux and Michigan, it's a different kind of hate but something one must take into account during these difficult decisions. It's really too bad they both can't lose.

I guess I could hope for a 5OT thriller so the winner is a little physically and mentally worn out for UMD. Go Dogs!

Let's not let Michigan-UND go to 5 OT. A man has to eventually go home and get some sleep to attend work on Friday. 4 Overtimes ought to be just about perfect for a win by the Fighting Flicker Tails.

    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
    • 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.
