Just got word. The ban does include the #WCHA playoffs

I figured they were going to be one pissed off bunch after getting swept at Bemidji last week.

We need to put a knee on their throat and choke the daylights out of them.

So, it they finish in playoff position the #9 finisher will make the tournament?

Wow, that's harsh.

Now if we can get Ferris, Michigan Tech, Northern Michigan, and Mankato to all be ineligible for the post season too, we may be able to get a regional berth.

Never, ever, wish ineligibility problems on any school. Also not wise to laugh at the misfortune of others in this regard. Lord knows BG has had our share of problems.

Isn't that saying that we couldn't get to the regionals without 4 schools being ineligible?
I think we're more than capable of getting there on our talent and work ethic. PERIOD!

GO FALCONS!!!
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEP THE NANOOOOOOOOOKS!!!

I could have this wrong...but from a quick check, looks like BG will pick up wins for the following seasons:

2007-08: +1
2008-09: +1
2009-10: +1
2010-11: +2
2011-12: +3

not the best way to get wins, but we'll take 'em.

Vacated wins are not the same thing as forfeitures. Alaska loses credit for the wins, but other teams don't get "additional" wins. The Wikipedia on vacated games does a decent job of describing the NCAA's definition of vacated wins: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia: ... _victories" target="_blank

got it, thanks!

I agree that gloating is unbecoming. But I would add that Bowling Green has never had a major infraction in any sport, as far as I know.

I'm really proud of that.

That is correct. And something to be proud of. But there are definitely many cases of embarrassing events that have taken place over the years, with many getting national coverage.
