    NOBODY down here likes Gene Smith. He's an overpaid idiot!

      Are you saying you would rather have the WOW factor? Because I know a man who needs a job.

        Brandon? Yeah, that is a WOW.
        I think we could get a well qualified Ohio State alum who would do a much better job for a fraction of the one & a quarter million a year they're throwing away on Smith.
        Personally I don't think anyone working for a public institution should make more a year than the Governor of the entire state!
        If he wasn't so up there in years former football coach Earl Bruce would be the perfect guy.

          Day 1 in St. Paul sold 14k tickets. That is almost 5 times the tickets sold as the Joe without Minnesota playing that day. I doubt this tourny is at the Joe very many years in the future.

            I would guess they'll at least give the new Olympia/Joe/whatever it's going to be called one or two shots at hosting before writing off Detroit.

              I brought this up before but no replies, if this is an open would financially for the conference do you think they'll try and scrap what's already in place and come up with something different or are the contracts all signed and it's a done deal for the next 3 years?

                What changes can they make that will make the fans who dont care care? What rule can they put in place that will get Michigan fans to show up for a game not against State and vice versa?

                Spartan,

                My guess is the new Joe gets 2 years and if it cant beat St. Paul then it will be out.

                  I was talking to some people high up in the B1G last year who were attending one of our games and when I asked about the future of the tournament beyond the initial 5 years they responded the conference was open to other cities hosting but what was said then and what will eventually happen may well be something entirely different.

                        It isnt the cities, it is the fanbases. The only reason St. Paul had better numbers is Gopher fan bought packages. They didnt exactly show up outside of their games but whatever.

                        If the games went to say, Columbus do yo really think that would make a difference? I watched when the Gophs played up there attendance was sparse. Add in that many years OSU will be playing b-ball still and no one will care. (not ripping your fanbase fyi) Michigan fans wont travel 45 minutes to watch at the Joe unless they play State we know they wont travel either.

                        This tournament sucks just like the Big Ten basketball tourny sucks. it is too expensive, the travel isnt ideal and the arenas are too big for the product. It is stale...I would rather they scrap it altogether.

                          Much better NHL franchise. Don't even reply, the Red Wings are infinitely better than the Wild. Do you understand logic? Of course not, you're a gofer fan...

                                Here's some logic. I'm not a Wild fan.

                                And what does the NHL have to do with college hockey?

                                MI sucks at the following of the sport OVERALL. Can't pigeonhole one aspect of it.
