For a brief moment last weekend, I thought I’d picked up another two games on Matthew in our picks race, but alas, I misread the score of Friday’s game between Minnesota Duluth and Western Michigan. Instead, we had the same record, as I was wrong on that game but correct on the Omaha-CC game. Last … Read more
Matthew and I went a middling 5-3 (.625). On the year, I am now 71-49-19 (.579), while Matthew is 67-53-19 (.550). Friday-Saturday, Feb. 7-8 St. Cloud State at Colorado College Candace: CC looked good in one game and terrible in its next last weekend, but the Tigers lost both. Can the Huskies jump over Omaha … Read more
Minnesota Duluth has been my Kryponite more often than not this season. Last weekend, picking the Bulldogs to sweep St. Cloud State ended up costing me a game in the picks race with Matthew, but I still have three games in hand. Last week, I went 2-3-2 (.437), while Matthew went 3-2-3 (.562). On the … Read more

Well, picking all NCHC wins last weekend did me no favors, but since I called the North Dakota sweep, Matthew and I had identical records last weekend of a dismal 2-4 (.333). On the year, I am 36-29-12 (.545), while Matthew is 35-30-12 (.532). Neither of us has done well this season :(. This is … Read more
Well, I caught Matthew, thanks to picking North Dakota to win on Saturday. Last week, I went 4-3-1 (.562), while Matthew went 3-4-1 (.437). Neither of us exactly set the world on fire. On the year, Matthew and I are both 29-23-11 (.547). League games always make picking things harder, so let’s see how we … Read more
Picking winners on the wrong night killed Matthew and I last week, and Minnesota Duluth continues to drive me insane. I almost picked them to sweep the Goofs last weekend, but was afraid I’d fall farther behind Matthew if I did after their Wisconsin series hurt me in our race. C’est la vie. Last week, … Read more
