OSU can really bring it under circumstances. But if you haven't seen UMD yet, they are quite the awesomeness.

Watching UMD v OSU on ESPNU. The place is empty. Almost totally empty. Playing a regional in North Dakota appears to be a loser, unless your catering to
UND.

I think it would have been totally different if NoDak had won. No better feeling than winning the first game of a tournament and being able to relax and enjoy the second game. Conversely, losing the first game of a tournament makes one want to hit the parking lot ASAP.

Classic example of a goalie "stealing" a game for his team by making an extraordinary number of saves, while his teammates were busy being outplayed, followed by an opportunistic overtime goal by the badly outplayed team.

Had North Dakota won, the place would have been packed. Certainly you have to understand that most North Dakota fans were pretty upset after the heartbreaker. I wouldn't be surprised if attendance was better (but not packed) tomorrow after North Dakota fans have a little time to let the season sink in.

Of course, if you ask the NCAA, they will tell you that the Fargo Regionals have been a resounding success.

If you define "best" by absolute number, I don't really think that can be debated at this point. If there is a quality component to it, then it gets a little hairy.

I never got an answer as to why our game was the first game as usually the 1/4 game is the early one. After that game, I'm glad it turned out that way.

1/4 is the late game in the NE regional tomorrow as well.

Had North Dakota won the place still would have been empty, the North Dakota fans would have been celebrating in whatever place Fargo has for nightlife.

It depends how you define "success." Did you have to buy a 2-day package? Because if so, then all the tickets are sold and they couldn't care less who goes. If it is separate admission, then there shouldn't be very many fans there tomorrow.

Unfortunately, we'll never know. Given what happened last weekend, I think a lot of North Dakota fans would have stayed to cheer on Ohio State.

That would be the Olive Garden.

I believe they had to buy a 2-day package...at least when I got the offer earlier this year, it was to buy the 2-day package and there was no other option.

Then the only money they would be "losing" would be from concessions.
