Biggest sports weekend on campus at DU in 50+ years?
Get to the games early to avoid parking hassles and partake in the free activies,
On Friday night at the South entrance of the Ritchie Center the "Pioneer Pregame" will have multiple student organizations setting up booths and free food served by the DUGS & a beer garden.
Prior to the basketball game, at 11 AM, students and fans are invited to the Driscoll Lawn, where various student groups will have spirit stations set up, including the DU Grilling Society which will serve free food to those in attendance. There will be a beer garden set up. At 1 p.m. MT, the pep band, cheerleaders and dance team will help parade fans into Magness Arena for the game.
Per Gwoz, Sam will play one of the games this weekend. He is not ready to go back-to-back yet.
NCHC signs multi-year TV deal with CBS Sports.
Are you going to be at the game DG? How about du78, Old Pio, Dubbie, 14ers, Squiddy? Is mexico the only one from this board that is actually going to the game?
Great to see such DU student leadership in organizing all these school spirit activities for everyone.
In particular, DU students Joey Leon, Liz Bhappu and Sam White have really gotten the job done all year long and this weekend should be one for all DU to celebrate being a Pioneer.
Spirit-wise, seeing where we were 10 years ago and where we are now is simply night and day. Amazing improvement.
I agree. It's best when the old codgers get out of the way and let the kids have some fun.
Phuck old codgers
It certainly is going to be a whiteout with 18 inches of snow expecetd tonight and tomorrow. :-)
Looks like Mother Nature is going to White Out Denver - Go Pioneers!!!!

Thanks..UDenver20. Posted your idea. :-)
Another reason for the old codgers to stay at home. Don’t want them to fall and break a hip.
If you've got tickets, keep an eye on the weather ... CC has to get up and over the Palmer Divide, and that might not happen with this storm coming.
Ty Loney suspended for the weekend...
Indefinitely - http://www.denverpost.com/du/ci_19878880
Triva question - which I don't know the answer to..... has a DU ice hockey game ever been postponed / rescheduled due to weather?
I remember the 1986 WCHA first round playoff game vs MTU on a saturday night was suspended in the second period when the DU Zamboni broke and ruined part of the ice. The rest of the game was pushed to Sunday, and about half the Saturday crowd returned for the conclusion. DU won and ended up going to the Frozen Four that year. Ironically, the ZAmboni at Providence Civic Center broke too. They called in the Zam from Providence College, and gave it a police escort on the highway for 15 minutes at a top speed of 20 mph.
Not a good weekend to have to postpone a game. Get CC up to Denver tonight to make sure the game can be played. You don't want to have to postpone it and play on Super Bowl Sunday. No one will go.
Very true. It would have to be a truly paralyzing storm, the kind we get about once every 10 years or so, a 4-footer spring-style snow. Even if just 2 ticket holders showed up; all you need is 2 teams, a few refs, the off- ice people and you got yourselves a game.
DU has a snow day tomorrow....
When do you think we would hear if they were not going to have the game or not?
Game is still on from what I can tell, nothing on the DU website to say it isn't.
Is there a number to call Ritchie Center and figure out if the game is still on?
Just received an email from DU S.I.D. Erich Bacher.
"The DU vs. CC hockey game will be played tonight."
I would guess that CC came up last night. Going back tonight may be a little tricky.
The student tents & beer garden have been canceled tonight because of the weather but the DU Grilling Society is going ahead as planned.
Those DU BBQers are tough hombres & la mujers.
So stop by for some free grub on your way into Magness Arena.
Definitely stop by d.u.g.s. everyone- I'm sure they'll be eager to unload food, and they always put a lot into the CC games. They'll be working hard and will appreciate your support!
Gotta feel sorry for the Tigers; it's bad enough to have to come here and get your ass kicked and lose the Gold Pan; but then to have to ride home as tired and dejected losers with your lives resting solely in some bus driver's hands.. in the dark, during a blizzard....AND have to square off against the same team again in less than 24 hours......doesn't sound too fun
Have an email from PBD in my inbox - as of right now, the game is indeed on as scheduled.
Peg is going to talk to the CC folks at noon and confirm everything, but I would operate under the assumption that the game is on.
That would also confirm that CC didn't come into Denver early and rent hotel rooms.
Lets face it, CC doesn't have enough scratch to put the hockey team in a Motel 6 on the interstate, much less a posh Denver hotel.
Slow trip up to Denver can't be much worse than a hot trip to the Springs without A/C. Though I hope it has the same effect.
Both DU and Middle Tennesse hoops teams just landed in Denver. They were on the same flight from Dallas.
I just remembered something......CC SUCKS!
I just got an email from DU stating that the game is on tonight...Now if I can just get out of the driveway to pick up my daughter and get to the game!!?!?!??
My driveway is clear, but doubt I could make it from sunny SoCal by game time. :-}
But I'll be watching on Root Sports.
Hockey game on TV tonight and tomorrow?
No TV on Saturday night. I think CC has some sort of internet TV that you can purchase but I'm not 100% sure.
Dear Anon@Friday, February 3, 2012 12:26:00 PM CST,
Major FAIL on your part, jackass...
GO TIGERS, SWEEP DU!!!!!!
