Alright guys I have to chime in - I now teach at Augustana. Last week when you mentioned it I chuckled to myself and thought that was the last I'd hear of Augustana on the HockeyCast for the year. Since you are now going to track them, I'll offer up a couple things.

First, you're pronouncing it how it looks, but the locals say it's pronounced Aug-uh-stan-uh, like Stan from South Park. It's affectionately known as Augie around here. 

Second, I was in attendance for both games this weekend, and I can confirm that the crowd did in fact 'explode' for goals - nothing like the Michigan-UMass game I watched on TV Friday night!

Third, if you're in need of a fun fact, here's one: the Vikings are not yet playing in their permanent home arena. The on-campus Midco Arena is still under construction, slated to be finished in January. The plan is for their first 5 home games to be played at the arena of the local USHL team (where this weekend's games were) before playing the 'true' home opener later this year.

Great podcast

Getting nervous about Michigan but too early for panic button. The defensive depth is severely tested and another few months until Edwards is back (hopefully Duke can play against his former team)
