      Of course I missed the memo because I haven't been paying attention to the NCHC. I wasn't taking a shot at the scheduling but saying I agreed that playing all teams every year didn't make sense. Key phrases like "doesn't leave room," and "Good decision," should have made this obvious.
      Sorry Robin,

      It was a joke going back to when the NCHC got ripped for putting out a press release about the schools that would be in the conference.

        Going to Alaska ... GFK to MSP to ANC or FBX --- 9.5hrs to 12.5hrs
        Going to Orono ... GFK to MSP to (PHL or DTW or LGA) to Bangor then bus to Orono --- 7.5hrs to 12hrs

        Yeah ... big huge difference there in travel times. Of course, what you'll retort with is how awful a place Alaska is compared to a fine destination like Orono or Schenectady or Rochester or New Jersey or Ithaca or Durham etc etc etc ...

        This is the hilarious stuff. So anyway, say something else to make me laugh.

          No, you just won't be in the threads.

              Ah, looks like it went over my head. Maybe the NCHC could schedule prime time on ESPN for any future announcements for me.

              Hopefully the details of the UMN/UND future schedule will be worked out soon. I don't think anyone really wants these 2 teams to only meet in the post-season. Especially Virg Foss who seems to be in a full lather.
              Bottom Line: If you deserve to win the national championship then don't worry about who you play, when, and where. Just keep winning.
              Exception: You are right about the refs. They, no doubt, have it in for <insert your team name here>!

                Yeah, he was definitely one of the biggest proponents of keeping it going. Personally, I'd like to see a tournament with Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota and a 4th team. Obviously, that isn't going to happen with the Minnesota Classic and Mariucci Classic, but I thought it was a good way to keep the rivalries together without having it eat up a ton of games.

                    Yeah, but then we'd never get a Minnesota-North Dakota Championship.

                      So, similar travel time, less of a hit on the Pairwise. Sounds like a good deal to me.

                        Except hits on the pairwise from beating a much lower ranked team don't happen. They exclude those. Of course if you lose to that lowly ranked team that's another story. Do I have to mention the $500,000 in potential revenue from the extra home games again as well?

                        Concern about pairwise hits must have been why UND took every invitation to any tournament in Alaska to play non-conference games over the last decade huh? Or why they scheduled Holy Cross this season?

                        I'm still laughing.

                          Must be easy when your team is that big of a joke.

                            Even easier when fans of good teams drown themselves in denial and delusion in order to rationalize the stupidity that the program they so deeply worship foisted upon the college hockey landscape. Learn about irony and you'll see.

                            And also when your only reply is ... "your team sucks" ... that's hilarious too.

                              Indeed voting to allow UAA into the WCHA was a very poor decision.

                                Notice how the only people saying how dumb the NCHC schools are for leaving the WCHA, are fans of the schools that got left behind.
