I wasn't sold on Joel being ready as DC; when they announced the Dosch hire I saw the hire of a mentor to help Joel should he need it. But I miss Tom's insights and how he sees the game on the radio.

Berg can speak his mind. He was done doing color to spend more time with family; Tom Dosch was doing color. Dosch gets hired as assistant (to mentor the new DC); they ask Berg back and he accepts. Berg is now the definition of dangerous: Power was thrust back to him and he knows he can walk away any time. He'll wield it as he sees fit. Sweet gig if you can swing it.

I'll ponder again if it's a "practice speed" versus "game speed" (faster opponents) problem when learning edges and angles. Then again, when they do get there the words "wrap up" seem foreign at times.

@Blackheart wants to know how many 3.5" floppy disks to make a copy.

Pretty sure it's a four-letter word like nerd, or geek, or wonk. It might be in here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytics_(ice_hockey)

Closing week of MVFC 2023: NDSU @ UNI -- NDSU going eighth win and a possible bye; UNI needing a seventh win after a stumble last week USD @ WIU -- should be a Coyote walk to ninth overall win MoiSt @ SDSU -- bunnies playing for perfect record (and to not get hurt) ISUblue @ SIU -- should be an Egyptian dog walk to a critical seventh win YSU @ Murray -- YSU needs a seventh ISUred @ UND -- each needs a seventh ... badly ...

You forgot ... " ... now get off my lawn!"

Blake is Blake. Perron is coming along as expected for a high-end freshman. James has figured it out as has OMac. Toss in a couple "old guys" smart with pucks (Schmaltz and Berg) and a ton of puck possession load that had been on Gaber is spread out. Ponder this: Saturday night's starting card had last season's 2C playing 3RW (LouieJam) until Schmaltz left the game. More pondering: We're very close to a 9-3 forwards team instead of a 6-6.

So versus UMn, UMD, and MSUM, UND is 4-1-1. Have some work to do against SCSU and Bemidji and UMD but that Minnesota Cup is in sight.

Grey numbers on white? Tim Hennessy's eyeballs would not be happy.

Restraining order time out?

Jimbo gets his own SEC Shorts episode. https://youtu.be/PxBNbWFyEE8 PS - If you don't understand Peyton, try this. https://www.tamu.edu/traditions/gameday/midnight-yell/index.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZEXusN8LF0 PPS - If @SIOUXFAN97 says UND should do "midnight yell" he's excommunicado. Period.

I'd rather ride comfortably under the radar in that 4-5-6 area, good but could be better.

Buy two get ten free? Seriously? Ouch.

Michigan would not leave the B1G. Too. Much. Money.

Anderson resigned because of the Herm Edwards (and Antonio Pierce*) FB coaching debacle. Herm committed serious recruiting no-nos during Covid and speculation is the NCAA hammer is about to fall.** The man really behind ASU hockey is this guy, because he lined up the money. Note his hometown and alma mater. *He's landed well since. ** Old joke time -> the NCAA is so mad at Arizona State that they'll put Northern Arizona on two year's probation***. *** the big schools get away with everything is the joke

First glance: He's Bubba's age. Is he up for a 900 mile move and a new team.

Thank you. I was going "average $22" thinking some of the nosebleeds were going discount. No matter what, a cool half mill seems opening bid.

Gaber may realize he no longer has the best wrist shot or one-timer on the team, but still top 10% in the league. If he realizes that his experience makes him more dangerous: he can shoot and he knows who is likely open.

The corner camera, the Gotz hit on Johannes, he lines the elbow up with the helmet when Johannes is still six feet away.

Yup, that's the mall owner, but doesn't imply or infer an issue with Columbia Mall.

The aTm HC is $75M alone. The staff is another $50M-ish.

That's a claim of felonious wrongdoing, dare I say near libel. Back it up or back it off and find better words. That is all.

Um .... @SIOUXFAN97, about the people there, you realize Dakota Bowl was Friday. Six of the eight teams were not Fargo. I swear half of Minot was there.

Whirled peas also?
