The things that make you go hmmmm...

I think this song is appropriate for this discussion… Like I said in earlier blog post, for the most part I like Kevin Gorg and his hockey analysis, I also like listening to Gorg and P.A. on KFAN 1130 during my workouts at the gym or while riding my bike, weather permitting of course, I down load the broadcasts on my ipod so I can listen to Ryan Cardinal and Gorg, I am surprised that Gorg said this… You can listen to it on this link… [Click to Listen]

One note . Heard a respected hockey person (Kevin Gorg) say on radio (KFAN 1130) he hoped the NCAA would give the Gophers special consideration this year for an at-large bid because the Frozen Four is at the Xcel Center.

That won't happen. There is no subjectivity in the selection process of at-large teams. None. Zero. Nada. Schools hosting the Frozen Four get no special consideration.

Complain if you want, that's just the way it is.

I guess I am shocked because I would think a great hockey like Gorg would know that the NCAA tourney isn’t selected in some smoke filled room anymore, the selection goes straight by the numbers of the RPI/PWR rankings. If Minnesota isn’t in the top 15 schools they will not make the NCAA Hockey tourney.

Speaking of Ryan Cardinal; Here is the audio from Cardinal's weekly bit on KFAN 1130 on Wednesday. [Click to listen]

So I wonder who Roman is talking about?

Gophers coach Don Lucia said Monday on his weekly WCCO radio show that his staff didn't expect to be playing Alaska Anchorage this weekend.
"We actually had done our video work for St. Cloud [State]," he said, "because the way things were looking, that's who we thought we would end up playing."
(One silly blogger even predicted it would be St. Cloud State at Minnesota. Won't name names.)

So if silly blogger said that the Gophers would be playing the SCSU Huskies and the coaching staff thought they were going to be playing the Huskies and were even reviewing tape of the SCSU Huskies does that make the blogger in question silly?
