2025 NCAAs: Flip the Switch, Flip the Script

The fog horn of the arena they blast for goals is so loud, the mic'd up network broadcasters can't be heard.

If I've counted right, Schafer's final record in NCAA first round games is 11-4 (9-3 since the tournament went to 16 teams).  That is just insane, especially since were the lower seed in many of those games.

In the 2005 Regional Final, playing Minnesota in Minnesota, Cornell was being severely outplayed.  Shots at the end of two were 26-7, yet the score was 1-1.  As the 3rd continued on, suddenly Cornell was the one who had the energy, and started carrying play.  I like to call that Mike's "rope-a-dope" game, where there was a switch that was flipped.  I have no idea if our coaches told the team to conserve energy or what, but even though it ended in a heartbreaking OT, we had an incredible game plan.

I have a new "rope-a-dope" game. That MSU game feels so similar to the 2005 QF, this time we finished the job.

MSU may have had the conditioning (4 days a week in the gym, omg!) to endure the figure skating contests they play in the B1G6, but they never had to WORK like that. And we didn't even play particularly grind-em-out hockey we're known for.

I reserve judgment for a rope-a-dope season.

"You don't want it to be so loud that it will scare little kids,"

Or you know...cause hearing damage.
