HawkeyesWho are the hawks?
HawkeyesWho are the hawks?
Yeah I remember that game. Gophers always good in hockey and the stadium is just awesome. Love the size and feel of that place. All the history and the cool murals on the walls are neat. Just fun to walk around and see it all. My sister graduated with Neil brotens daughter so I got to hear a few cool gopher hockey stories from him a couple times.2012 we beat them to go to the frozen four and got smoked by BC who was a buzz saw that year.
2014 we beat them in the frozen 4 (0.6 game), then lost to Union in the title game, who we should have beaten.
Fine with me. Just saying it would be nice to beat up on them in the field more than the forums.Why can’t we make fun of Brian?
I’m going to continue, I hope you can handle that.
If he hasn't fired him yet why would he do it now? Iowa's offense was horrible last year too. KF will either have to retire or the University will have to have the balls to force him to fire his kid. My guess is retirement is probably more likely that him actually firing his son.Gonna be real awkward with his kids if Grandpa has to fire him instead.
Evidently it is ok though to teach your kids that the team doesn't matter it's all about how you look.
Dream Staff:I hear Brian is in line to replace Mike Sanford.

College hockey in general just isn't what it used to be. More teams, less interest nationwide.Do you still thing the rivalry is as good? Its just not the same to me as it was. That was must see tv in the old wcha. I still remember when Finley punched the gophers defenseman in the handshake line. What a dick.
Was there ever nationwide interest?College hockey in general just isn't what it used to be. More teams, less interest nationwide.
Finley punched Wheeler (Wheeler not a defenseman). Funny story with that though is I know a former Gopher hockey player and met Finley through that Gopher player (Finley seemed like a nice guy when I met him). So I guess the rivalry is probably more in the eyes of the fans than the players.
I just meant outside of Minnesota when I said nationwide.Was there ever nationwide interest?
I always thought it was a regional thing for each given team.
Sure. I didn’t realize it was wheeler. I just remembered one of the gophers players when it happened yelled to Finley you have no Fkn class and the tv didn’t bleep it out. That was a great exchange and definitely fueled the rivalry. Damn I miss the old wcha.College hockey in general just isn't what it used to be. More teams, less interest nationwide.

Maybe north dakota?Hawkeyes
If the university paid his salary, which they don't.I would argue with how poor of a job he’s done, it is like he’s stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from a public university. But apparently that lesson isn’t one he wants to teach.
Read the posts again. Where did I say I don’t care about Minnesota? Said I like Minnesota and the badgers and don’t hate Minnesota at all. Probably been to 50 hockey games at Minnesota and maybe 10 football games over the years. Watch and cheer for them when not playing wisco. You can believe that if you want or not but it’s the truth. One of my favorite all time rivalries in sports was Minnesota and North Dakota in hockey. Never missed a game in 10 years. Sadly that’s gone now. Believe what you want.
How does he look his dad in the eye?
Kirk seems to have a healthy dose of not living in reality right now as well with the way he talks. Time for the elder to walk away and time for the younger to get busted back down to a position coach role where he probably belongs as opposed to a coordinator spot.How does he look his dad in the eye?

If anyone here beats them up on the field its assault. We’re not on the teamFine with me. Just saying it would be nice to beat up on them in the field more than the forums.
Coach says 8 wins isn't the goal and then incentivizes his son to only win 7.Iowa fans rightfully are furious about this.
I would be too. Iowa's offense has been putrid bad the last two years.Iowa fans rightfully are furious about this.
He’d be unemployed forever, so yes it would be tough to look his kids in the eyes.
I’ll take a forum W in FebruaryFine with me. Just saying it would be nice to beat up on them in the field more than the forums.
