VERY cruel? Wow. It’s just a mashup of everything everyone has posted here previously. I did think the Motzko comment was pretty good.

Ban me if you must.

Cruel because I checked both the CCHA website AND their social media hoping for a post. It was too real.

I laughed at the Motzko bit! The first line of the job posting would say something about:

"Must be a former Gopher."

Oh. Cruel as in realistic? I took Billy’s comment as cruel to Lucia.

If you actually read the release, I think it's pretty clear this is a VERY cruel prank.

Someone add TUPD to the ban list

To be lifted upon the resuming of CCHA Pick 'ems 26-27.

Ever started to read something and get excited, only to have the rug yanked out from under you? That rug was covering a hole, full of Mankato fans who thought they had a legit chance of making a run this year.

Cruel as in "damn, I wish it was true."

Bingo. Lucia deserves the cruelty!

Did anyone catch the "never missed sending a team to the national tourney," bit? I thought that was a good one too.

That was the dead giveaway that it was fake. Should've posted it on Twitter though.

That’s the exact type of thing Laskaris would try to brag about. Lol

Article from Briggs yesterday in The Blade discussing the outdoor game WMU is doing at Waldo. He reached out to DVDM regarding BG ever doing similar at the Doyt, Derek said they were close to pulling the trigger on something for the upcoming season. Not sure if I completely believe him given the amount of money it would cost, but it would sure as hell be an amazing event.

Best seat for a hockey game in a football stadium is at the house. It's absolutely horrible for actually watching the game on person.

I'm into it, just for the spectacle. Obviously not the best viewing experience, but would be a huge event and would love to be there for it regardless.

Went to the Big Chill in 2010 and it wasn't bad at all. Thought the seating was better than it was at Comerica Park for the Red Wings/Maple Leafs alumni games. Had to be sitting in the upper deck for that one or your line of sight was rather poor.

The portal officially opens today. Keep your fingers crossed that the damage won't be too bad.

At 7:00am there were 85 portal entries from today. Wow.

Edit: Lonergan is in the portal, that doesn't feel like a big surprise. He saw action in only 4 games.
