Pretty cool today actually. The gym I go to is the home gym for the local CHL team, Allen Americans. You can tell who some of the players are and I ran in to a guy who just graduated from Mich St. Really nice guy and we were talking about the B10 in general.
A couple things he mentioned or that I specifically asked him:
1. On the Gophers (when he found out [:D]) ~~ "oh God, they killed us this year'
2. He said Minn is the strongest team top to bottom they've seen all year and he expects, as long as we show up, for us to win it all. When I asked what was the hardest part about playing us he said "everything. so damn deep top to bottom. Their 4th liners are better than most teams first. No weaknesses. Just have to get a couple lucky bounces and hang on for dear life".
3. And the one I found most interesting. The guys love the B10 but agreed there were no real rivalries yet but they are coming. He said Mn will have everyone gunning for them until they catch up.
Apparently what they like best is that it gives them so many more out of conference games since there are only 6 teams. He mentioned they played teams they would likely never have played.
