Sausage Links

Get it? Sausage? It's like a penis. Which is funny.

A couple items today relating to Gopher sports.

First is this piece which quotes Joel Mat as a continuing supporter of Lucia. I guess my thoughts on this matter are pretty simple. He gets one year. If in one year we’re still getting pounded in recruiting (and not filling our needs), getting swept by our biggest rivals and shedding underclassman faster than AEGA eats a ½ pound burger, show him the door.

Another is an article in the Strib which discusses expansion of the WCHA, focusing on The Harvard of the North. I say fine. Although on a personal level, the thought of having another WCHA school in state will hurt recruiting, we are still the top dog in our state, and if anything, BSU will help keep the Sewage honest when looking at the Iron Range guys.

I’m really getting tired of people speculating about Tubby leaving. Fun Bobby says he’s here to stay. Can we put our Minnesota inferiority complexes aside for just a second and enjoy the moment? Is it so hard to believe that someone who left hell on earth and has settled in Minneapolis would be so quick to jump ship? Let’s relax a little bit, and go back to hating Childress.

Finally, congratulations are in order for Jordan Schroeder, who became the NCAA Hockey Rookie of the Year last night. Projected as a top five pick in the upcoming draft I hope his future holds one of two things: He stays in school for all four year or he gets drafted by the Wild. Or both.
