In honor of this week's DU-Duluth game I thought it might be a fun idea to go into the LetsGoDU archives and review the last over-rated/over-hyped WCHA media darling. Your 2004-05 Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs.

Duluth, MN. - After a summer filled with Booze, Broads & Boating the University of Minnesota Duluth enters the 2004-05 season holding down the No. 4 preseason ranking in the USCHO.com Poll and the No. 5 slot in the USA Today/USA Hockey MagazinePoll, both of which were released today.

#4 UMD easily out-partied the University of Michigan (541 points and 17 first place votes), the University of Maine (493; 9) and and Boston College (488; 2) who occupied the top three slots.

UMD, which retains the services of some 20 overweight borderline alcoholics from last winter, reluctantly opens preseason practice this Saturday before launching its 61st year of intercollegiate hockey on Oct. 7-8 at the University of Notre Dame.
