Many of us have a tattoo waiting in the wings, WHEN (not IF) the Gophers are champions again.

I know they blew leads both nights against St Cloud but all in all taking the number 1 team in the nation to overtime both nights has to give the boys a shot of confidence going into the playoffs. What is concerning is how they have a hard time keeping leads this season
                I ran some numbers in the pairwise predictor and it appears that 1 win this weekend keeps them at #14 in most scenarios. 2 wins obviously guarantees a spot because of the auto bid. But only 1 win combined with a #14 spot is literally the last at-large spot assuming that there are no other conference tournament upset winners (Princeton, Harvard, BU, or BC).

                  I will be.
                  That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                    Nice. Staying at the Embassy Suites. The best omelets made in front of you in the morning. Same 2 guys have been doing it for years. That in itself is worth the stay

                          Yeah, my wife and I are actually staying at the Holiday Inn across the street this year. We usually stay down Kellogg at what was the Crown Plaza and a variety of other names, but is now called The International, if I recall correctly. The team used to stay at that hotel when the tourney was in St. Paul, but I'm not sure where they are staying this year.

                          We switched it up because of "points" or some such thing. When my wife mentions the word "free" she usually gets my attention.

                          I have literally attended all of the conference tournaments since the conference tournaments began in the old WCHA following the 1987-88 season. A buddy from college was working in the Cities that year. I was still working out in Bismarck. It seemed like a good reason to get together so we bought the tickets that inaugural year, and we've bought them ever since. We even got them back when they experimented with holding it in Wisconsin, although those tourneys sucked. Last year was our 30th year.
                          That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                            I have stayed at the Holiday Inn, the Crown Plaza, Embassy Suites, The Kelly Inn, the Doubletree, and the LivInn Suites in Oakdale. I would say that the Crown Plaza was the nicest. Embassy Suites was the most fun. Holiday Inn is super anal about noise, but I am guessing that a middle aged married couple doesn't need to worry about that.

                              Only about three minutes a night.
