Seems there's a Gopher dilemma ... Barriball ... or ... Condon.

I'm going with UND, DU, UMD, UNO, UM, CC, UW, SCSU, UAA, MSUM, BSU, MTU basically I'm picking DU, UMD, UM, UW and MSUM to win tonight.

Well, the fork is stuck in this one ... Here's something to keep you all busy instead.

Well, all we know right now* is that the 2011 WCHA will finish with 1 North Dakota 12 Michigan Tech 2-3-4 will be DU, UMD, and UNO in some order 5-6 will be Minnesota and CC in some order 7-8-9 will be SCSU, UW and UAA in some order 10-11 will be BSU and MSUM in some order. Make your final standings prediction here. *We are just hours away from the start of the last five WCHA regular season games of the season and we still don't know! Tim Hennessy called this situation in the Saturday UND@MTU pregame "a schmozzle" (whatever that is).

It did ... 5:06 Eastern.

At this rate Ben Blood has chance ...

Trupp and Gregoire both enter the 100 point club.

Hextall, cross-check, @ 19:55 of the first. This is where Doug Woog would say "clean sheet power play at the start of the next period" ...

I'm thinking Tech needs to stop taking penalties so Lammy-Davidson-Rodwell and Nelson-Cichy-Gleason get some playing time. Tech: 10 saves ... 6 goals allowed. Ouch.

Trupp (16) from Malone (PPG) @ 17:43 6-1 North Dakota

5:14 remaining in the first 5-1 North Dakota

You guys are kidding ... right? Is it really 4-1 already? Someone give a time remaining in the first please.

Masterfully played. {applause}

This thread is naughty, and it might make you a potty-mouth.

Why is Kariya the measure? Kariya's best college season: 1992-93 U. of Maine H-East 39 25 75 100 12 Tony Hrkac's best college season: 1986-87 U. of North Dakota WCHA 48 46 70 116 48

I am not. I'm Virg Foss.

So, UND has to use the nickname and logo to retain the rights, which is what the NCAA settlement requires. Gosh. How's that going to work? There's an option that nobody has brought up: UND could transfer the rights to one of the two Sioux tribes. But that means the tribe holding those rights would be in the same "use it or lose it" situation that UND is in. I could see one of two great ironic scenarios coming out of a transfer of rights however: - Either the alleged victims of the "hostile and abusive" nickname and logo would make a lot of money selling Fighting Sioux merchandise to UND fans. (Spirit Lake would be in the best position to take advantage of that opportunity. Imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth at Standing Rock if that scenario played out.) - Or, the tribe wouldn't do anything and lose the rights, which would then enable third parties to begin engaging in the very practice that the NCAA sought to avoid when it tried to force UND to keep the rights. Thank you, NCAA. You certainly made a fine mess of this.

Naw. Just keep an eye on Midco SportsNet. You'll catch it during a replay of once of the games.

Really? So you weren't listening to the UND hockey broadcasts where they noted Kristo sitting with other teammates who weren't dressed for the game but that he was on crutches and wearing a protective boot.

Kristo: Only he was at risk from a decision. Dehler: He got behind the wheel drunk. <-- That's "intelligence"? You: FAIL. Dehler: EPIC FAIL.

KFGO Radio was reporting that the Land Rover was a total loss. To total a Land Rover takes some doing.

You show me a school without gender equity concerns and I'll show you a school without a football team.

Scouting report on Dehler: - slider sometimes goes out of control - hits the corner with the breaking stuff
