The start of the 2018-19 season has already yielded some important results: Vermont upset Michigan at Yost, and Minnesota got a home win and a tie on the road against Minnesota Duluth. Other big weekends were seen by Lake Superior State, Miami, and Arizona State. Hosts Jim Connelly and Ed Trefzger review those games, plus a compassionate gesture from Army West Point, and some discussion on a new rule for 2018.
