  • Post-Apocalyptic (BTHC) WCHA Biggest Rivalries

    So...

    With the removal of MN and WI to the BTHC, who's everybody's biggest rival? I think for a lot of teams their answer is different with just those two teams gone, and with the noobs in the WCHA, may even be a question they hadn't even answered yet.

    Post your team (unless its obvious) and who you consider your biggest rival. I'm really split on this one, for SCSU I think its UND or tUMD, but I'll give NoDak the nod.
    tUMD is Jan Brady per Brenthoven. Whew.... thanks for clearing THAT up.

    Best USCHO quotes to date:

    Well, DU fans think they are better than CC fans but they still remain a rival to me. In all truth, that makes it fun.

    I think both CO teams would like to build a rivalry with UNO but that would probably take years. All of the UNO fans I’ve come across are too nice to really hate.

    My strategy? Everyone sucks… I’ll give an auto cred to UAA because Donald is a WINNER and I’ve meet a few of their other WINNING fans.

      For the Huskies I think it will start out as the Sioux. Although if UMD can build on this season and continue to have regular success year in and year out I think it could slowly transition to the Bulldogs (because let's face it, other than a couple years UMD really hasn't been consistently good the last decade.)

        Sioux-Pios? UMD and UNO might make a push, but those would clearly be the two most competitive. Other than that, you've probably got to go with the local matchups (DU-CC, UND-BSU-UMD, MSUM-SCSU)

            I wouldn't say decades upon decades.....just a decade and a half. I can see how it might feel like we've had that much success though.

            Okay, I had to put that in there just to get a response from a UMD fan. We can only let you ride on your high horse for so long. Congrats on the title by the way, I was glad to see your team pull out the win over Michigan. Considering I went to UMD for two years I'm probably much more cordial toward your program than most Husky fans.

              Obvious Gopher fan is obvious:

              tUMD and SCSU HATE each other, at least the fanbases do. UND-DU have a fan and team rivalry, which if you have any hockey knowledge you know why.

              I think BSU and UNO are too new to the WCHA to have a rivalry yet, but I'm sure something will happen down the line to really kick a rivalry into gear.

              Obviously DU-CC have a rivalry, but from what I've seen in the past couple years, I think DU considers UND their #1.

              Other than that? It's pretty much open to what game events unfold after MN and WI leave.

                Tech - none. We'll be lucky to have a program within five years, let alone one that is competitive enough to be truly hated by someone, including one-time archrival Northern.

                    I hate Tech because their fans are so negative.

                      I think the SCSU-UMD hate is more of a USCHO/Internet message board thing than a General Fanbase thing. There is a certain group of both fanbases that truly hate each other and they seem to have mostly gone to school around 1999-2005 and post regularly on college hockey message boards. There were also a few of unfortunate incidents involving SCSU fans (and were, admittedly, the fault of said fans) that soured the more casual UMD fans to SCSU fans. I think the dislike among the general fanbases has simmered down considerably in recent years and, in fact, I don't think SCSU fans, as a whole, ever particularly disliked UMD fans. When I moved from St. Cloud to go to school at UMD in the fall of 2001 I had no problem rooting for the Bulldogs because I considered them "just another team" like UAA or Colorado College.

                      That being said I think UMD will be considered our 2nd biggest rival. UND will take over for the Gophers as our "biggest" rival, although most SCSU fans realize that we are down the list of rivals for both the Gophers and the Nickname TBD.

                        I think that this is a good observation on your part. I've seen a number of people saying that NoDak will be their new biggest rival, but it's only a "rivalry" if NoDak feels the same way.

                        That's not to be confused with NoDak being the team that everyone wants to beat the most. I've no doubt that will be the case.

                          UND-DU will be one of the most heated rivalries in the WCHA, the closest if not a tie with SCSU-tUMDncs.

                          Danver and Nord Dagoota are really starting to hate each other and with the race for the MacNaugton every year that will probably be dominated by the two(post B^TCH) I see a growing rivalry, that and UND gets tired of DU fans that have their noses so high in the air they can smell God's farts....

                            For awhile MSUM and UNO played a rivalry series for a bronze maverick, but that tradition may have vanished?
