That's a bomb-ass D.
February 18th, 2020 at 8:25 AM ^
I understood that reference.
February 18th, 2020 at 10:42 AM ^
Who allegedly said this? David Terrell?
February 18th, 2020 at 12:12 PM ^
hah. Came here to say that and proud/horrified someone else beat me to it.

"You do, DT, you do!"

Ill be that guy. No one cares about the iron dick trophy. Just play the games in Ann Arbor or EL. You don’t gotta play M-OSU in Toledo and hand out The Glass T. The rivalry speaks for itself
great to beat FYS again and contribute to their very sad February
February 17th, 2020 at 11:35 PM ^
I think it's different than football. When you play so many games, you can afford to have one at a NHL arena and it is rotated every year between Michigan and MSU giving up the home game.
February 18th, 2020 at 12:28 AM ^
Also the game routinely sells out, so clearly there is demand to have the game in Detroit.
February 18th, 2020 at 12:14 AM ^
“No one cares about the iron dick trophy.”
The Michigan hockey team obviously does. I guess you think they’re just stupid losers.
February 18th, 2020 at 1:03 AM ^
You're not that guy. Walmart Dropout was trashing this game this morning and now he's posting about "we" got it. LOL.
February 18th, 2020 at 3:10 AM ^
Dividing the fan base & pitting them against each other could get you the Steel Schlong trophy.
February 18th, 2020 at 8:34 AM ^
I was thinking the Copper Cock, maybe even the Brass Bollocks.
February 18th, 2020 at 10:09 AM ^
Learn your blog history.

Might be worth asking the kids how they feel about it.
February 18th, 2020 at 3:24 PM ^
Lhglrkwg is Rob Manfred!
February 17th, 2020 at 10:53 PM ^
glad they won. glad they beat sparty. glad they are climbing the B10 rankings.
wish they didn't win an upside down toilet plunger as the trophy though.
February 18th, 2020 at 10:05 AM ^
It's still better than the Civil CONFLict trophy
February 18th, 2020 at 1:27 PM ^
had to look that one up. will respectfully disagree. the writing on that trophy is funny, but nobody is going to grab it when mongo plugs the toilet, either. so its got that going for it.
February 17th, 2020 at 10:55 PM ^
I’ll be the other guy, while I didn’t go tonight, I had have gone to many of these games downtown, and usually it is near a sellout, and it is pretty close to 50/50, and a lot of fun. Haven’t been to one at LCA, but probably went to 10+ at the Joe. Having it on a Monday may not be the best, but they were always fun games
February 17th, 2020 at 11:07 PM ^
HAIL!!

I would be interested in having a basketball Duel in the D as a non-conference game in addition to the two big ten games. This rivalry is just too fun in basketball. It would be a sell out marquee matchup most years. Could be a cool tradition. Plus, it would allow for a team to win the series, rather than having a home and home split.
February 18th, 2020 at 12:31 AM ^
Playing 3 scheduled times in a basketball season is too much, but doing what they do in hockey and giving up a home game in alternating years would be intriguing and pretty cool.
February 18th, 2020 at 7:36 AM ^
I would be for UM-MSU basketball having a protected two game series a year. I’d take that over rotation with the rest of the B1G.
February 18th, 2020 at 10:39 AM ^
Michigan/MSU does have a protected rivalry. When the B1G moved to a 20-game schedule last season they also put in a provision that three rivalries will be guaranteed a home-and-home: Purdue/Indiana, Northwestern/Illinois, and the aforementioned Michigan/MSU.
February 18th, 2020 at 2:27 AM ^
Love it! Hockey team has been playing so well in the new year. Would love to see them make the tournament.
February 18th, 2020 at 3:27 AM ^
Great win for the team - very proud of what they've been able to do and turning around their season.
Not big on having to give up a home game to do this - working out something in non-con may have been better. And on a Monday night? LCA was clearly not sold out (at least the stands were not full from the broadcast video) - a weekend game would have been better.
Don't really care for the trophy itself -this rivalry doesn't really need one (most played in NCAA hockey and got along fine without one). It feels too artificial, like the Paul Bunyan trophy (except instead of it being forced upon the schools by a governor for personal political gain, it was forced by a corporate promotional money grab).
February 18th, 2020 at 10:10 AM ^
It's a tough call. Michigan plays 3 games a year in Detroit, and presumably 1-2 of those each year could be games at Yost instead. My first thought is that if Michigan really wants to play in a lethargic half-full arena, they can do that in the NCAA tournament.
The thing is, though, a lot of the players on the team--the ones from the Detroit area--talk about watching Michigan-Michigan State in Joe Louis Arena, they say that was their first exposure to college hockey, and that the opportunity to play on the Wings' home ice was a factor in coming to Michigan.
If it helps recruiting, then okay--I will give up 1 game against Michigan State in Yost every 2 years to help some kid decide to take Michigan over Notre Dame or Western Michigan or the OHL.

No offense but Iron D sounds like a really bad super villain.
February 18th, 2020 at 7:35 AM ^
It looks like the trophy shows JLA silhouette and not LCA.
February 18th, 2020 at 10:40 AM ^
Looks to me like the original Olympia arena.
