    Yeah, I got banned, 2 weeks or a month? Not sure? Did me a huge favor actually, lol. I might not have deserved it? But it was definitely the right move, far easier for uscho to just ban me and end the problem then try to get all the others who were just getting triggered by my mere presence to stop trying to poke me, lol. And though I behaved for a little while, right before I got the boot I did start to act stupid again, so it was justified.

    Going to try my best to behave this time around. And will limit my stay here to a week maybe two at the most, until next January maybe?


    Outside of UMn not getting in, couldn't be happier with the results though, with UMD being my 2nd favorite team. I went there for a time back in the 80s, and the other 3 teams all being B1G teams? WOW. Would have preferred PSU over Michigan though, you know, all the non-blue bloods and/or new teams to chk or the B1G.

    So blessings on UMD's next game, I may be one of the few Gopher fans cheering for your Bulldogs? But I've never been a "gotta do what every other Gopher fan does" kind of guy. And in fact, the better UMD does this year, the better chance the NHL will start raping and pillaging your rosters, lol. So that will help the Gophers down the line, hehe.


    Are you going to the game?

      As for the PWR? I don't have a problem with the PWR itself, or the idea behind it, my problem is with the RPI which the PWR leans so heavily upon. Find a better rating system than the RPI and use that to figure out the PWR and then I'd be much more comfortable with it, because as you point out, it not being subjective is a good thing. As for cfb? Yeah, this year sucked. Didn't like how it all played out. I've been an advocate of expanding that to 8 teams, no more no less. Combining Conf title games with an 8 team playoff gives around 16 or so teams a legit chance, not necessarily the Top 16, but pretty close. But yeah, hockey does need to take advantage of any mistakes the big 2 make. I think college hockey is on the upswing. Hope the NHLPA really does help some more programs start up Div 1 teams, that would help. And more and more young athletes are turning away from football, so better hockey snag those guys than bb, lol.

        Here’s the PWR and KRACH PWR
        http://www.rpihockey.net/misc.rank1.shtml

        It has postseason games in it, but it seems to be a good place to start at comparing the systems.
        Code:
        As of 9/21/10:         As of 9/13/10:
        College Hockey 6       College Football 0
        BTHC 4                 WCHA FC:  1

          So if the KRACH PWR had been used, either Clarkson or Northeastern would have been left out and Minnesota would have gotten in?

          Sounds like an improvement. Neither Clarkson or Northeastern did well in the NCAA tourney. Northeastern had one of the worst SOS's among teams that made the NCAA field, and Minny beat Clarkson twice. And seeing how the B1G did, seems like the Krach PWR would be an improvement? I've always preferred the KRACH to the RPI, but didn't know someone did a PWR using the KRACH. Thank you for the link.

            I would think most people will be cheering for UMD. People can say whatever they want now but come game time if those people tune in or have seats, they will find themselves helpless but to cheer for UMD. Minnesotans are proud people and hockey is their image so only the most unhinged would actually cheer against a team full of Minnesotans. I know back in 02/03 or whatnot I'm sure I didn't care to see MN win a championship, but game time I was all in. Maybe not as excited as others but definitely not cheering against them.
            I'll be going but I only bought tickets for Thursday. If we lose I'll be flying back to Colorado probably the very next day. Southwest is great that you can change/cancel flights and get credits
            I wanna go fast!

              Well, outside of the conference issue, you are right. But very few BTHC fans want to see a NCHC team beat 2 straight B1G teams to win a title. Would result in an entire season(next year) of the NCHC being able to hold it over B1G fans. Whereas a B1G team winning the Title, or even knocking UMD out right away, gives the B1G another Title, obviously, but 8-9 more NCAA tourney wins to the NCHC's 3 or 4. If the B1G didn't struggle so much so recently while the NCHC thrived, it wouldn't be such a big deal. So I'm torn. I guess I see it as a no loss situation, either way I'll be happy with the results, while also being sad at the same time. lol

                Not this Gopher fan. Made that mistake once, won't make it again.

                  I will absolutely not be cheering for UMD. You can mostly thank Glen Quagmire and Fred Flintstone's love child (aka "Drunk Hockey Guy") for that.

                        It is. It allows you to see through the trivial arguments in life and let go of meaningless grudges and proceed with a new outlook and respect. You should try it sometime

                            I disagree. UMD vs another big ten team in a title game, most Minnesotans will root for the Dogs

                              really?

                              I would have thought that to be true if the one team was Michigan. But for ND? It's not as if there's any long term anything with them.

                              And do Minnesotans root for OSU or UMD?

                              Then again, thinking about it- I'd have a tough time rooting for MSU, a tougher time for OSU, we all hate pedo state, ND is too much a rival, and MN is part of the evil alliance, too. Which leaves Wisconsin. Maybe you have a point.
