North Dakota Brings the Muscle

if you somehow didn’t already know (in which case you probably don’t actually know me), I’m a huge north dakota hockey fan (how can you not be? they’re the best in the country, clearly). So anyways some friends and I were talking about how a UND player recently tripped the wisconsin mascot at a game. I find this to be pretty funny as it wasn’t horribly vicious and the mascot wasn’t hurt. The player that did it was big joe finley, who at 6′ 7″ is one scary dude to have skating at you. Anyways, the mascot tripping wasn’t really the highlight of the weekend. They resolved that issue with Finley having to send the mascot a written apology. Some of the other interesting moments from the North Dakota – Wisconsin rivalry weekend were caught on video though, and you can view them thanks to youtube.
