Re: Ferris State @ NMU 2/3-2/4
Big, BIG series this weekend... Put up or shut up time for the Cats, IMO... Not saying this is a "Must Sweep", but there isn't a whole lot of room left for error down the road... With only one more series after this at the BEC, you got to take advantage where you can... Like I said before, getting Ferris here is an advantage... Hopefully the fans will be out in full force... Ferris is a **** good team this year and this should be a hell of a series... Time to step up Cats....It's never too early to start the Pre-game festivities
Go Cats!!! GO BLACKHAWKS!
Cuck the Fubs... Let's Go WHITE SOX!!!

Re: Ferris State @ NMU 2/3-2/4
Nope, it pretty much is must sweep.

As of right now, the only series that isn't "detrimental" to our PWR is the Michigan series. I quote detrimental, because every loss is right now.
Back in December, I said I felt the 'Cats needed to go 12-4 in an effort to be well positioned in the Pairwise. That was just from eyeballing the standings at the time, and looking at where a 12-4 record would place their RPI rating. I estimated they would need to be above .555 and below .560. That may have been a bit "pipe dream"-ish, but it certainly was obtainable. Since my 12-4 declaration, the 'Cats have gone 4-2-2. To make math easy, figure the ties as a split each way, giving the 'Cats a 5-3 record. As of right now going 7 of 8 puts the 'Cats solidly in where I said they could back in December. Going 6 of 8 should keep them as a three seed.
I know this team can do it. We've all seen the stretches of brilliance from them. This winning run starts tonight at the Berry.“Demolish the bridges behind you… then there is no choice but to build again.”

Even if the Cats don't take the Bulldogs lightly they could lose. This is probably the stiffest test Northern has had since December. Frankly, I'd be surprised if the Cats picked up 6 points this weekend. They badly need it but FSU always plays NMU tough in Marquette. I only hope the boys surprise me.
GO CATS!!!

Re: Ferris State @ NMU 2/3-2/4
I think the Cats can get this sweep. Just look at the recent history between these two team. NMU hasn't lost to FSU since '09. GO CATS GO!!!I'M NEW!!! Not so new anymore I guess.
PUCKHEADS A NMU TRADITION SINCE 1996!!!
