Great rivalry.

Good call on that - even last year when we won, I still consider OU to be the first team to expose our inability to curb stomp the entire ACHA, in that 10/22/2011 game. We then played two close games in Athens, although after we had already lost to Delaware, Liberty and UCO, so it was kind of beyond the point by then. But that 10/22 game was the first time I said "heeeey..." I think that 11-0 win over Illinois had us a little crazy anyway. <br /><br />We'll see what happens with Oklahoma, but I've sort of felt all along that ASU was the one school of the three that had a legitimate chance of pulling one out. They haven't been all that great lately - and actually lost to Oklahoma a couple weeks ago - but on talent level/ability to compete with a DI team, they're in a class by themselves among ACHA schools. I'd put Ohio last of the three. <br /><br />Still hoping there can be an exhibition exemption for the ACHA somewhere down the line. As long as hockey keeps growing faster than NCAA DI (almost a given), ACHA will become more and more competitive...in any case, I'd rather play them once a year than Wilfrid Laurier or Waterloo or whatever CIS school if they're up for it.Kyle Rossihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03988727251887693489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1327069433246447816.post-63509053440910625242013-02-02T11:14:25.682-05:002013-02-02T11:14:25.682-05:00Great piece.

But we are just bigger, stronger and faster than they are. And it really felt at that moment like the end of an era.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06740936245768666094noreply@blogger.com
