Ain't that the truth. I want to know who Zamman thinks where Missota front runners beside AHA. Red Wing comes to mind but that is about it and they were never loaded up enough to match up with AHA at the time.

Shako 2 - Prior Lake 3

140 in a row is something to brag about. 10 years in a row with out a loss is ridiculous. It is time for Holy Angels to follow the path of Duluth East and go independent. [/b]

I've been told that in the past Holy angels has asked to go to half a conference schedule (play each team once). The other conference schools won't let them... They say full schedule or leave the conference.

As for the streak, I know New prague has had two close calls with them over the past few years - including an ot loss. Red Wing has given them a couple of one-goal games also. But most of the time it's 10-2 or something like that, no matter who they're playing.

Which is ridiculous. Not only would you be helping a fellow program out, but you would open up a game to play another section opponent and help yourself prepare for the post-season.

And yet people around the state continue to come down on Holy Angels for their schedule, when in fact it is the rest of the conference holding them back.

Zamman isn't much of a bragger; that's not how I took it. But even if you did, it definitely is something to brag about. Regardless of off some of the teams may be, as previously mentioned, many have been quite good in the past.

Look around the state; no other program has come close to something like this. Hill Murray is in a very similar conference talent wise but has lost to teams like Richfield on occasion. Nothing wrong with that, but a Holy Angels fumble has been an OT win, not a loss.

Congrats.

Ridiculous.

Mitch has the 2nd place team in the Missota ranked 69.

The 6th placed team in the Classic Suburban is at 52.

It bugs me that you find that "very similar"...

The bottom Missota team is #116 and the bottom CSC team is #124.
2nd to bottom Missota is #98. 2nd to bottom CSC #113.

So yes, the CSC has gotten better in recent years, while the Missota has fallen. And the trend is that the Missota is very tight talent wise and the CSC is very spread out.

Which is why I said similar, not the same.

It bugs me that you say a conference is "tight talent wise" when the difference between the top two in the rankings is 51 places.

It bugs me that you've changed from "very similar" to "similar".

Are you trying to tell us that all 140 of those games happened this season? If you can realize they didn't, then you will understand that all conferences have ups and downs.

Last year Hill ended up at #18 but had a loss to #74 Richfield.
Last year Holy Angels beat Red Wing by 2 goals, the year before beat New Prague and Red Wing by 1 goal and the year before that beat New Prague by just 1 goal.

What makes their situations not quite as similar is that Holy Angels handles the bottom teams and plays the top teams close, while Hill Murray generally steps up against the top teams and manages to lose games they shouldn't.

Again, congrats on the accomplishment.

Maybe AHA should just tone down their recruiting a little?

Who isn't after Ad Absurdum?

He bugs me...

Holy Angels would make a great 6th team for the new Classic Lake. I understand that this is true for hockey only and won't happen.

Holy Angels has won 140 in a row like Bill Goldberg in the old WCW. You know the outcome before the start of the match.

That would be a great move. Too bad the high school administrators(mostly non hockey people) can't figure it out! I can't believe the Missota Conference wouldn't let them out just for hockey? 140 straight wins should tell them something.
