That's unusual behavior for good athletes, especially when they represent a great team, which I believe Michigan is this year.<BR/><BR/>You're right, though, obviously there would've had to be some serious problems in the selection process for Michigan and UND to face off in the first round this year.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03308237038497388958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20376347.post-3334831207096053702008-03-28T11:54:00.000-05:002008-03-28T11:54:00.000-05:00Seeing as how playing UND in the first round of th...Seeing as how playing UND in the first round of the tourney would've meant the #1 overall seed playing the #3 overall seed, yeah, I'd be pretty happy about that. I'd take that as a compliment if I were you guys. <BR/><BR/>Good luck, though. I'd like to see you guys in the title game.QB1https://www.blogger.com/profile/10694983013034689259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20376347.post-44547693579365074972008-03-28T11:48:00.000-05:002008-03-28T11:48:00.000-05:00Krangodance I a hope your right.I mean really they...Krangodance I a hope your right.<BR/>I mean really they are excited not to have to play North Dakota again. Hakstol would have said something like we are happy about the challenge to play the Wolverines again.Eric J.

Keven Porter's comment is not indicitive of a comment I would expect from an athlete representing a top seeded team in any sport.<BR/><BR/>I view that as weakness. Those comments could come back to haunt him if the Wolverines do end up facing the Sioux in the championship game.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03308237038497388958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20376347.post-43131028629111540912008-03-28T07:40:00.000-05:002008-03-28T07:40:00.000-05:00Goon-I am pretty sure they both DID pick Denver to...Goon-<BR/>I am pretty sure they both DID pick Denver to come out of the Madison Regional.
