It is a rivalry on a certain assistant coach's radarBGDrew wrote:Can someone explain why UNO continually thinks that we're a rival to them?

Actually it goes back a bit further than that. In the days of Scott Hewson, before UNO was a member of the CCHA, we played them. There was a bit of a scrum, if I recall correctly, towards the end of one of the periods resulting in their fans booing us as we were exiting the ice. Scott, being Scott, raised the roof on his way out causing even more of a furor from the fans. From that point on they considered us their biggest rivals. It has cooled in recent times, but still heats up to a point when we play them....especially in the playoffs.pdt1081 wrote:It is a rivalry on a certain assistant coach's radarBGDrew wrote:Can someone explain why UNO continually thinks that we're a rival to them?

The whole thing goes back to the first time we had to play out there during the playoffs. I believe it was the first CCHA "Play-in" game. Basically, we ended up getting a major screw job, the ref was fired afterwards,...yada, yada, yada. They got to go to the Joe for the first time, we got to go home and think about it for a year. There was potential for it to turn into a pretty decent rivalry for the fans, but UNO came to BG so few times that nobody knew who they were.

I know the reality of it, but there is a lot to be said for regions and how m¨ch better it is when the teams are closer. wont happen and your right unless UAF fights for a change and i dont think they will any time soon...pdt1081 wrote:MACMAN,MACMAN wrote:Ialso think your a better fit in wcha, and wayne st is better fit here...now if UAF could be better placed. i think there is alot to about the regionality for conferences.
Please read here , The CCHA will try to hold on to UAF for as long as possible because of the Alaska/Hawaii exemption used for scheduling purposes.
