  • Someone hand me a compass! MI Directional School Battle, Pt 1: NMU @ WMU 10/28-29

    This weekend finds Northern Michigan heading south and east to take on Western Michigan.
    The 'Cats are coming off a split with Meeechigan, winning on Friday and losing in the shoot out on Saturday night. The Broncos return home from the last frontier, earning a 4-1 win Friday and a 4 round shoot out victory on Saturday over Alaska.
    The last time these two teams met, Western swept the visiting Wildcats in lopsided 5-2 and 6-1 victories.

    Here we go--discuss!
    Always a Wildcat...

    The premier match up of the upcoming weekend imho. Will be a real test for both teams.

      #14 at #7. Can the Cats compete in a hostile environment? They played well in Madison but now play an unbeaten team who's riding a little momentum.

      Should be a good series.

        Well the "contending" football team has crapped the bed impressively in the two weeks that the Broncos were traveling, so I'm hoping some of the interest shifts to a program with actual success recently.

          I think both games will be right down to the buzzer. My best guess is a split, Go Cats!

            Personally, I'd be happy with a split.

                I don't know about the rest of the NMU fans on hear, but I'm just happy I don't have to hear any more whining from the rodent fans until February.

                I would be happy with a split this weekend, and I think that is the most likely result. A sweep either way would say a lot about both teams.

                  3 ties against crappy teams gets you a top 10 ranking? huh.

                    Since when has Fairbanks been a "crappy team?" I'd consider a win and a tie at Fairbanks a pretty good accomplishment for any team. Didn't Union win 26 games a year ago and don't they currently sit at #11?

                      Fairbanks has been crappy since oh... always, and as I recall Union plays in the ECAC. So 26 wins is more like 10 real ones.

                      Save your breath bringing up that they beat MN last year in OT. MN has been mediocre at best for 3+ years.

                          Ha! "Union" and "26" collide again!
                          Having a clear conscience just means you have a bad memory or you had a boring weekend.

                            Davyd,

                            Any team in the CCHA, or even the country would be happy with a win and a tie in Fairbanks.

                              I'll take a win and a tie anywhere on the road in the CCHA!
