Who wants to bet that Shepherd and Hunt are in their room realizing they missed at least a minor (if not a penalty shot) and are deciding how many penalties to call on Union to start the second? I predict the next three are on Union.

A Union player dislodged the net to stop an MSU scoring chance? Isn't that a minor penalty? Shepherd. Hunt. Any questions?

Wow. I think Michigan State just got jobbed out of a goal to tie. (Referee's name? Derek Shepherd.) Union 1-0 late first.

If the autobids and KRACH were used to seed the tournament (and not accounting for conference match-ups, etc.): BC v. USAFA Maine v. BU Mich v. Union WMU v. Minnesota UND v. NMU UMD v. DU Miami v. Mich St FSU v. UMLowell Better?

Boston College - North Dakota

Is anyone at that game?

They sometimes have "live box" and radio links on the scoreboard here: http://www.collegehockeynews.com/schedules/scoreboard.php

Texas Tech was something other than the Red Raiders? That I did not know.

Florida (SEC) - Florida State (ACC) Clemson (ACC) - South Carolina (SEC) And the lack of love between Texas and Texas A&M won't change when A&M goes to the SEC.

I thought this was hockey and a jersey was just something to protect you from the puck and the other guy's blood spatter. Instead, there's all this fashion chat. Will chamomile tea and cucumber finger sandwiches be served as the discussion continues?

Folks, you're analyzing a grainy, black-and-white photo of a photo? (The National Security Agency could probably have a better image through the roof of REA if this was a national security type issue). I want to see them on ice. (Unfortunately, tomorrow it'll be Hi-Def TV because I can't be in St. Paul).

Sounds like a personal problem.

I wouldn't bet against that.

I think I agree with Bill Maher. I need a shower.

The American Public? You mean that Sesame Street minded short-attention-span group out there today? The group that if you polled 100 people nationally on the street right now, more would be able to tell you the movie that premiered last night at midnight than could tell you the name of their Congressman or could find North Dakota on a world map? That American Public? If you're looking for that immediate gratification and nothing more (no substance), "7 out of 10*" group to come save you, you're in tougher shape than the SL lawsuit in Federal court. They dozed through the Patriot Act (from the right) and Obamacare (from the left). The American Public won't awaken over this. * thanks to KFAN's Dan "Common Man" Cole.

To Shawn-O's point, I've heard many state that they don't care the outcome anymore, they just want this sideshow over with. <-- Moniker fatigue. There's more of it out there than I think any of us would guess.

And it worked. The captain of the team you support is more interested in playing than what's on his shirt that day. Whoever said "overwhelming support" isn't anymore has proof right there.

That deserved repeating for emphasis.

It takes far more than---SQUIRREL! (We'll see who gets that obscure reference.)

The reason I like the black pants and helmets is that seldom does the green on the helmet match the green on the jersey match the green on the pants and it's distracting. See: UND FB uniforms.

The Herald article says they are just removing the logos and "Sioux" sticker from the helmets and taking the logo off the leg of the pants. Black pants, black buckets it is.

It doesn't matter how much diplomacy you have if the other side won't talk to you.

http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/232679/ "UND has new jerseys in three colors — white, green and black." -- Not just a light and a dark? That's, what the call in poker, a "tell".

Why come after me? Go after Mario Lamoureux. He's the one that said, “If anyone’s focus is on a jersey or what we’re wearing, that better change right away. We’ve got one focus." Seems Mario is more interested in playing and winning than what is on his shirt. Good for Mario. PS - Oh yeah, I'm really a plant. I joined this forum in October 2001. I supported the moniker and logo, until it because a net negative to the University thanks to the NCAA.

At the time Stenejhem signed he stated that he'd worked with the Tribes in the past and believed something could be worked out with them. That's diplomacy. But Standing Rock would not discuss the matter.
