When There's Nothing Going On...There's Always the Goings On Of The "Boys" Down South

Its a bye week, there's no decent DU articles today that I can plagiaize and no college hockey players have been arrested in over three weeks. I had better delve into the DU Media Guide and grab a few CC stats to get us through this...

CC leads the WCHA in mononucleosis this season with two confirmed cases. As a public health service to Colorado Springs "Puck Bunnies" here's a little background.

Infectious mononucleosis, sometimes called "mono," "The kissing disease" or "The Tiger Flu" in Colorado Springs is an infection that is usually caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).
.
Hockey players who have been infected with EBV will carry the virus for the rest of their lives - even if they never have any signs or symptoms of mono.

.
People often kid around about mono, but as Scott Owens has discovered, it's no joke. A case of mono can keep you out of the lineup for months.

DU Leads All-Time Series With CC

  • DU leads the All-time series with CC, 151-99-9 that dates back to the 1949-50 season.
  • DU is 60-56-4 all-time in Colorado Springs, 88-43-5 all-time in Denver and 3-0-0 in neutral sites.
  • The Pioneers have outscored CC, 29-12, during their current seven-game unbeaten streak against the Tigers.
  • DU is 7-4-1 in its last 12 games against CC and 6-13-1 in 20 games against the Tigers at World Arena.
In other words, "We Own Them."

Oh god, you went there.

That means I don't have to, but I was definitely thinking "Hey guys, quit kissing each other!"

Its a dirty job, but somebody's got to do it.

This is another reason not to marry a CC Grad. You spend the first few months of the relationship in bed with a Virus.
