    And a fan base that cares about hockey

    This is what you quoted, implying your stamp of approval...

    "ST. PAUL, Minn. _ Here in the self-proclaimed "State of Hockey," the storied program at the University of Minnesota has achieved and maintained what is often perceived as a "State of Grace."

    With 35 NCAA Tournament appearances, 20 Frozen Fours and five national championships in the history books already, those who are convinced the Golden Gophers are college hockey's gold standard might not be far wrong."

      It was an NCAA Tourney preview article, and the Gophers have 5 NCAA National Championships. Not exactly news.

      Perhaps you should stick to posting funny pictures. You're actually good at that

        Glad that's finally cleared up.

        According to Ross Bernstein, the Gopher's have closer to a dozen National Titles. People can try to convince themselves that college hockey was invented in 1948, but that's just not true.

        The University of Minnesota Hockey team was even given the opportunity to represent the United States at the Olympics in 1928, but they couldn't afford to send them, so they turned the invitation down.

        Also, either 2 or 3 of the 4 candidates to be the namesake for the Hobey Baker Award were UMn people.


        But yes, just 5 "NCAA" Titles.

          God it must be embarrassing to be so desperate for another one or two banners to get to a number equal to your neighbors. Minnesota has a very good history: 5 is nothing to be ashamed about. I say embrace your 5ness.

            5 NCAA titles is great. The little schtick you've got going with Gurt, not so much.

                Are you serious?! Embarrassing?! LMAO!!!!! 54 Olympians, 16 Hall of Famers, Miracle on Ice, 32 NCAA tourney appearances & 17 Frozen Fours in the last 50 years!!!


                And who said anything about 1 or 2 more? lol How about 7 or so more?!



                Desperation has nothing to do with it. It's called acknowledging history.

                And there are plenty of Gopher fans who have done just that, embraced their 5ness. So there is room for at least 1 of me, one who embraces 13ness!!! lol

                    This issue isn't just limited to college hockey, either. Football, same thing. The farther back in it's history you go, the more subjective the question is of who won the title this year or that year.

                    The Huskers aren't the "official" national champions in 1902, despite some publications that say they are. That team went undefeated and unscored upon, I might add. Pretty hard to top that. If you think it's subjective, now................

                    An aside, the Huskers were invited to play in the 1915 Rose Bowl (which would have been the school's first bowl game, ever) and turned the committee down. The school couldn't afford to send the team. This was an issue in all sports and at all schools in those days.

                      I don't think anyone has ever said that titles from different eras are exactly the same. The game has changed and evolved continuously thruought it's history. That's not unique to just pre and post NCAA eras. For instance, I think the game has changed almost as much pre and post NHL salary cap. So much more parity now.

                      But to say that titles won before X date mean nothing, or that starting X year titles became meaningful is more than a little ridiculous.

                      If people were really genuine about trying to determine the strength of programs thruought their history, they'd look above and beyond just national championships all together.

                      In a one and done playoff format the best team in the tourney doesn't always win. The Gophers themselves have a few national championships they should feel lucky to have won (1974 and 1976), but many more instances where they likely would have won in a best of scenario. I'm sure many of the major programs around the country could say the same.
