WOO!
Go Blue! Beat Sparty!
Go Blue!!!
MOAR Goals!!!!
We’re on the 3 line and I believe Sparty is on the 1. So this one is just for pride. Let’s get it done!
Uh, Big Ten Tournament Championship?
Trophy comes before the pride.
Sparty can kiss my ass.
Win the game! Be the real Big Ten champs!
LOLWUT? Al just said "The committee looks at attendance." Suuuuuuure.
I believe they look at it, but that’s different than caring about it or doing something about it. Those latter two things do not happen.
Correct. I look at my gut, in the mirror, daily. I have yet to do anything about it.
This is actually true. There are geographic considerations and one of those considerations is proximity, with fan attendance in mind, particularly if a higher seed is involved. That's part of why they will place seeds close to home if available. And why a team that hosts a regional is automatically placed there, instead of forbidden to go there as in basketball.
It's less important than actual seed structure and stuff, but it is a consideration. Which is part of why their refusal to change the regional system is insane.
Rowe is in instead of Pletzke.

Go Blue!
Hope all the FYS plays end with a Sparty in the box.
These guys are ready they aren’t scared one bit.
LFG!
Link?
Game on!
GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL!
Nazar! 1-0 UI-M!
Oh hell yes!!!!!
I was just saying the passing didn’t look very crisp and then GOOOOAAAAAAAL
We want moar!!!
Hope that quiets Munn down a little!
We want MOAR goals!
F YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL!!
Brindley!! 2-0 U-M!!
WUT? WAVED OFF???!!!?!?! FUCK!
Why is he waiving it off?
What?
Ed: didn’t see our guy knock the MSU player into the goalie so ehhh.
Baloney. Both players battling each other.
Kinda fair call, but can we get the obvious cross check?
Sigh, goalie interference.
OK; that's Sparty's home gimme for the game. Gotta call it fair the rest of the way.
Big Ten refs--quality is job 10.
That high?
Ha! I guess I'm just a positive guy.
D'OH! Slashing on Brindley @ 3:44.
Goal waived off and then we commit a penalty 🤦♂️
I already fucking hate these refs.
Jesus, that's slashing?
OK; I expect that's how they will call it all night then. Pretty thin call
We still got the early goal @ 0:57.
I see the refs are already performing fellatio on FYS
Here's to hoping they use their teeth.
Only Big Ten refs could make me disklike fellatio.
Sorry, it takes more than refs to make me dislike it.
Love that the spartan band/students copy the children of yost.
Yay, PK!
Nice PK!
