Re: Big Ten Hockey Conference
I was just responding to your point about where the thread went. I know you get it.Originally posted by Tiggsy View PostI hate that you quoted me in your post because it makes it look like I didn't get what the point was.
. Still seems like a bit of a jump to me especially since I didn't see Dubbs go there right away. But why should I get uptight about threads spiraling downward now when I had a hand in a few. Probably not as many as you, Gurt but you give me something to strive for. 
And it certainly wasn't my intent to even get JDUMB involved or for the thousandth thread to go to hell, but he found his way in here, didn't he?

Re: Big Ten Hockey Conference
That's true. There is and has never been a national championship in Division 1-A (officially "1-FBS") football. There is merely teams that have been ranked #1 in pools. That continues to be true today, even though the media suggests otherwise, but the BCS champion is still just the winner of a ppularity contest -- their only "championship" is being ranked #1 in the coaches' poll, not any sort of NCAA title.Originally posted by Tiggsy View Post
So, yeah, no school has any real national championships in football in Division 1-A.Comment

Re: Big Ten Hockey Conference
It was a jab in regards to Minnesota being the only holdout against a BTHC and being overruled and another poster's joke that Minnesota would be the only holdout against the implementation of a shootout to decide regular season games that end in a tie. It's a tie-in to the other times that this has come up in regards to the dissolution of the WCHA and Minnesota's apparent solitary opposition to it.Originally posted by Slap ShotWhich generated revenues that are shared come from specific institutions rather than entire conference affiliation? Don't give me a, "Yeahbut" answer either.
Look - JDUB deserves the scrutiny but you've lowered yourself several times over in the hockey forums. But whatever I'm sure the condo you've erected in the ivory tower is squeaky clean.
It also plays into and off of perceptions (and realities) that there is a big boy's network within the B1G that drives decision making - a network that Minnesota would not be a part of because they aren't good at the sports (currently, as opposed to in the 50s when these things didn't make any money) that the BTN and the B1G care about because those sports make money. Now, I didn't say that Wisconsin is a part of this big boy's network, but Gopher fan constantly whines about Alvarez, so the undertone is there since I have his photo as my avatar and you guys, conveniently, already believe it on some level.
See, it was actually quite deep. JDUMB just whiffed on it. Not my fault.
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough with my inane rip in a meaningless off-season thread. Hope this has spelled it out for all who were confused
People who don't understand talking s-h-i-t with another fanbase or who can't recognize it should steer clear of it. Of course if they can't recognize it in the first place...
Not everything that is said here can or should be taken at face value. One thing though, and I'm completely serious about this, overall, Gopher fans need to develop a frickin' sense of humor.
Not all of them though.Comment

Ok, yes, Gurt just got lawyered.Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

So you are willing to admit that Alvarez and Michigan & OSU aren't calling the shots for the rest of the B1G? It says right there, in that one stat, that Minnesota and Wisconsin are basically the same, or peers when it comes to football and since football drives the B1G, Minnesota has just as much say as anyone. Right?
That would make it tough to hold onto your (fanbase's) Alvarez is the Anti-Christ mantra.Comment

Re: Big Ten Hockey Conference
Sat near a bunch of them at the Green Bay regional. They're pretty much Minnesota clones. Although I didn't hear anyone blab about "hockey knowledge" and I haven't yet seen a Michigan fan at the Kohl Center complain about a shorthanded Badger squad not being called for icing (okay, it only happened once, but it freakin' happened, ok?).Originally posted by Gurtholfin View PostIf you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me

Come on now. Wisconsin fans, by and large, are much less knowledgable than Minnesota or Michigan fans. I don't even think that is debatable.Originally posted by ExileOnDaytonStreet View PostComment

Re: Big Ten Hockey Conference
Maybe. But I'd be willing to say you couldn't call most people in the KC fans. They just show up to dance and get rudely interrupted by that pesky hockey game. But those few acutal fans out there could hold their own against Michigan. Not Minnesota though. That would be just be crazy to even consider.Originally posted by JDUBBS1280 View PostComment
