There are some tickets on StubHub - looks like a single seat starts at $175 (including fees), a pair starts at $196 each (including fees) Maybe wait until the afternoon - some of the Minnesota St fans will probably get around to selling their tickets (Plenty of seats available for Saturday's...

St Cloud up 2-0, late in the 2nd

Cornell up 2-0 over Denver, still in the 1st

Checked StubHub this morning - prices on the rise again. Out of the 60 remaining tickets, there is one single ticket available for $81 (+$23 in fees). Everything else is $122 and up (+$33 or more in fees)

Sid Hartman said that so many times I am surprised it is not on his gravestone. (May not see eye-to-eye with everything he reported, but in this instance could not agree more.)

You are correct! It is so close if the Gophers lose If Quinnipiac beats Cornell (not Harvard) and Denver beats St Cloud (but not UND) Minnesota still gets #1 There are probably other scenarios that would work as well. Getting a headache running through them all. At least we will be able to...

- If the Gophers win, they are #1 regardless of how Quinnipiac does - If the Gophers lose and Quinnipiac loses either the semi-final or final game of the ECAC championship, the Gophers remain #1 seed - If Gophers lose and Quinnipiac wins both of its games this weekend - they go to #1, Gophers...

Wow - game is not only completely sold out, but StubHub is asking $230 each (including $50 of fees) in the section where my seats are located (section 21).

Was also there - if I recall correctly, part of Bud's emotion that day was also for his longtime friend and fellow teammate/Gopher legend Billy Bye, who had died just three months prior. Bye not only played with Bud at the U from 1946-1949, but also with Bud's Winnipeg Blue Bombers team.

Any scuttlebutt regarding LaCombe's availability this Saturday?

The media does love Hughes, and wouldn't be shocked if he gets the nod over Faber for Defense Player of the Year. But I would be surprised if he took both Defensive Player and POY (voters tend to like to spread things around a bit - and there should be no way that, with as dominant as Minnesota...

Mostly agreeing - but while Fantilli gets the freshman award, go with Knies for POY

Agree on the matchup advantages, but MSU was probably the least desirable in terms of attendance at Mariucci. And with the Boys High School hockey tournament going on next weekend as well - would not be surprised to see a lot of empty seats.

Did not realize one could already buy a championship game ticket - many others probably thinking the same thing. The semi-final game may be a tough sell, especially if the team is someone like MSU or PSU. If Michigan is here for the final I predict a sellout.

Nothing more that a gut feel, but predict that Penn State takes 2 of 3 from OSU in Columbus this coming weekend and becomes the Gophers opponent at Mariucci on March 11. Even though Penn State lost to Wisconsin at home yesterday - was even less impressed with the Buckeyes this past weekend.

Snow ends around noon tomorrow, we should be dug out enough by Friday morning that the games can be played as scheduled. Checked Columbus weather (high of 71 tomorrow!) and despite some rain, they should be able to get out of town okay. (As opposed to ice storm warnings in Michigan.)

FWIW - new NCAA men's D-I hockey polls are out, Minnesota barely pulls ahead of Quinnipiac to be #1 in both USCHO and USA Today polls. Both teams got identical numbers of 1st place votes in both polls, but MN managed to squeak by with a few more second place votes on each poll. Since Denver...

Went through the XFL rosters and did not find a single Gopher, which I found a bit surprising.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm no expert of pairwise. Part of the challenge is not just how MN plays in their next 3 or (hopefully) 4 games, but how Quinnipiac (and other schools) play as well. The linked chart summarizes some 20,000 simulations for the remainder of the season. It...

Hard to believe that Dick Bremer was the TV play-by-play Gopher basketball guy for a time (including that year). I think he did some football and hockey as well. That was back in the good old days of the Midwest Sports Channel
