Bringing a defenseman, and keeping Gleason at forward where he was surprisingly good, would make a roster with 15 forwards, 8 defensemen, and 3 goalies. And as last year showed, having guys like Marto and Gleason, who can play forward, or defense, or a point on the power play, can be very handy.

Yup, just like the visitor's room at the old DECC.

Iowa is a truncation of Kiowa, a tribe. I've long wondered if Vanderbilt got permission for their moniker from the band Lionel Ritchie was a part of. But the truly salient point is this: Irish: OK; Vandals: OK; Seminoles: OK; Sioux: Not OK. The lack of consistency is glaring.

Wear a camo hat ... then we won't know what you're thinking.

But I'm lazy. Down the middle of the fairway is the shortest walk/cart-ride.

That'll work, but it's pretty complicated. A simpler way to cure a slice (assuming right-handed golfer) is to close your right hand more. When in your stance and looking down at your grip you should see at least two if not three knuckles on the back of your right hand. A lazy (palm to the sky) right hand is the cause of many, many slices. As far as Eids, white pads and simplify your game.

I can't remember which game I was watching but the announcers were saying there's research out there that says shooters perceive white or yellow goalie leg pads to be larger than black pads (when all are identically sized). Hear that Brad?

Seems like he has a "helicopter dad": How a dad with NHL dreams bankrolled a hockey empire

Scott, Scott, Scott, ... you missed the obvious difference between SMU and OSU. SMU, Southern Methodist University, ... Methodists ... Christians ... the liberal-minded NCAA has no problem sanctioning Christian Methodists. But when it comes to a public school ...

What was Trupp's plus/minus when he put up his number? What will Grimaldi's be if he puts up that many points? There's the senior/freshman difference.

At risk of repeating myself: The rumors were true (not surprisingly). And there are just 14 forwards on the roster today (assuming six incoming freshman forwards). So ... the previous question stands, and even more importantly now.

The biggest problems regarding the Sioux moniker don't come from Sioux fans but from ...

Ohio State would never get a death penalty sanction (any sport) from the NCAA. That's only for the have-nots.

Been tried. The southern schools voted it down, ... "too hot" ...

Or play a sport where you have an existing facility that would work ...

UND hired the Minnesota Twins to play in UND place last night.

There's a new drink in the bars in Tampa. They call it the "Ovechkin". It's a white russian, served again, no cup. (Sorry Jim.)

Whew! S is Sean this year. They missed me again.

They stole Indian lands ... SOONER ... than it was already allowed by law.

I am just amazed at how many people know the inner workings of the Summit, the MVFC, the MVC, the Big Sky, and the president's offices at NDSU, UND, Montana, and a host of other schools. My these places must have mammoth board rooms to hold all the people who attend all of these "inner workings" meetings so they are able to come here ... and report so much completely contradictory information from being in the same places.
