That's all fine if you're a Gopher fan, but I sure would like to see a wider
coverage of WCHA and CCHA games (as a start) instead of Gopher game after
Gopher game.  For some reason, the WCHA has talked about a TV contract for
several years now, but nothing ever seems to happen.  It was a primary goal
when Otto Breitenbach was commissioner, but seems to have fallen off the
shelf since.

Agreed, they are knowledgeable.  But boy are they biased.  If the intent of
MSC's Gopher coverage is to cater ONLY to Gopher fans, then I don't have a
problem with it.  Tough luck for me.  But if *Midwest* Sports Channel is
indeed meant to be a regional network, then please lose these guys.  I'd
enjoy the telecasts a lot more with some objective announcers.
