The conference boasted more than 1.5 million in attendance last season, and had the top three home attendance marks in the nation — Wisconsin (15,048 per game), North Dakota (11,654) and Minnesota (10,107).Minnesota, with enrollment of 51,659, and Wisconsin (42,099) are the league's largest schools and have 11 national titles between them, but Denver (7), North Dakota (7), Michigan Tech (3) and Colorado College (2) also replica Longines L2.142.0.51.6 watch have won NCAA championships.“The WCHA brand is very strong.People in hockey know we're a strong league,” UMD athletics director Bob Nielson said.“At the same time, you never want to lose a rivalry because of the interest it generates.” Don Lucia’s comment about the television programming for Friday nights is a bit of a head scratcher.Seriously! What is stopping the Big Ten now? All the BTN has to do is start showing hockey on Friday’s, what is preventing them from showing hockey now? Why do they need a league to show BTHC hockey on Friday night?

So take the risk and cash in the Raiders in your pool this week, knowing that you won't want to use them going forward.2.Green Bay over Buffalo - This is the obvious pick, because the Packers are really good and the Bills are really bad.We prefer to save the Packers for later, but Green Bay should win this game comfortably.3.Dallas over Chicago replica Longines L3.632.4.76.6 watch The Cowboys lost in Week 1, and the Bears won, but now the Cowboys return home and the Bears hit the road.We believe the Cowboys are far better than the Bears, and so this pick seems pretty safe.Trap to avoid - Carolina over Tampa Bay - The Panthers' offense made a ton of mistakes last year, and QB Matt Moore is battling a concussion and may not play.Those are two trouble signs given the fact that the Buccaneers pulled off a come-from-behind win last week.Just stay away and save yourself the heartburn.ResultsWeek 1 - W N.Y Giants (over Carolina)
