Sounds kinda College Hockey America 'ish to me, but whatever it's just a name.

Saw wiki entry already for the new league. I didn't realize just how huge Omaha's Qwest Center was. Nor did I know CC has such a tiny enrollment with a relatively large fan base.

Another link with more info.

Article on NCHC from The Street

Quotes from article "The new conference will begin immediate research of additional members with no specific, pre-determined limit on the final number of institutions. In addition, the conference expects to have a broadcast package in place before launching its inaugural season."

First part, duh. Second part I guess is expected, and is what I'm really wanting to see happen.

To add more spin to the new NCHC league there's hype building down in the Fargo-Moorehead area of Moorehead state has a golden opportunity to start there hockey program. Couple years there was alot of talk of them wanting in the WCHA when that league expanded. I personally would love to see NDSU get a team, just so UND can whip them smile.

I live in the surrounding Moorhead area and from all the people I've talked to around here is the most of them are all for it!! I know I would be! People were kind of bummed when all the talk about it shut down last year! The only weird thing is that they would most likely play their home games at the Scheels arena in Fargo! But I say get it done

Blame it all on the Goophs for jumping ship to the Big 10.

To be fair the UofM has been against this from the start but our hands are kind of tied. There was an article a few years back and Maturi said it was a bad idea but I can't seem to find the link. If you do want to point some fingers I would look at Penn State and WI - WI didn't really do anything to make it happen but they were sure in favor of it.

Edit: Found the link, WI even threatened to move the CCHA back in 09.

I am anti-Gopher as it gets, but leaving the WCHA for the Big 10 was basically out of the Rodent's hands once a sixth team (PSU) came on board. Only alternative would have been to leave the Big 10. I still blame Alvarez and the donor from PSU.

Does fargo mh have the fans for a team.it seems obvious that they would. But does anyone go to the current college games there. Also, do they have a rink besides the fargo one. Seems like there should be a team there. Just not sure I it would work. The whole town was all hockey for hockey da mn up there las year. It was a great time. Seemed like a hockey town. I guess they could get rid of the need to have a und team. Haha

Absoulutely there will be bad blood on the ice over this. And even though the perception is that UND and DU were the main drivers, this will extend to CC, UMD, and UNO as well. BTHC schools will get the same treatment I imagine. Should be a fun two seasons to watch.

Would be interesting to see if one of the teams not inlcuded in either new conference could win the McNaughton before the big split (or F5 for that matter).

Moorhead hockey would be cool. If they are serious about it, they better get on it soon while everything is still on the table.

CBrooks, do you think MSU has the funding and/or alumni support to back D1 hockey? The timing will never be better for MSU to fund hockey and enter the WCHA.

I haven't heard of any strong alumni support or donors. Sounds like thats the only thing holding MSU back. I think the president of MSU was pushing it two years ago. I agree with Brain that they will be playing at Scheels arena. How much dough does MSU need upfront to start a D1 hockey program?

]Anybody forsee any ill will toward und and denver from the remaining teams the next 2 years. Jutting was talking a little trash in a interview and I know serratore hold grudges

I'm sure UND will come out of this as the Evil Empire. BSU's Serratore was on the news last night and said he fully expects non-conference games to continue with UND, UMD, etc. UND's Faison also said the same thing. Hope it holds true.

      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.
