I hate to ask this question, but am I the only Gopher Hockey Fanatic who watches every Gopher Hockey game with the remote control firmly in hand so I can press mute when FORMER Coach Woog starts bashing on the Gophers for every (small as it may be) missed play, and totally praising our opponents for making the most basic of plays?? Why can't we get an announcer who actually appreciates and inspires people when it comes to Gopher Hockey???

I think Wooger does this in part because he's heard many people call him a homer and he is trying to dispell this notion. He may be trying to hard! Be happy we don't have to listen to Saggisor every week, that would be painful!

The broadcasts are on Foxsports North. Most of the WCHA teams are in the FSN area. In order to retain viewership of fans of the other teams, it would not be a good idea for the announcers to be Gopher homers.

Also, I have noticed that often the games produced by FSN are also broadcast on FoxSports Rocky Mountain. No doubt looking to attract DU and CC fans.

It would be counterproductive for FSN's announcers to alienate these fans, especially when playing DU or CC.

Although I am a diehard Gopher fan, I find the relatively unbiased approach refreshing.

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
