Mentioning MSU-Mhd, it seems with 740 The Fan being NDSU's secondary station (if there are conflicts at KFGO) that Concordia has jumped to 1660 ESPN (KQWB-AM). That leaves MSU-Mhd without the radio home it had last season. http://www.inforum.com/event/article/id/273931/ The open questions are the plans of the two other players in the bidding for NDSU: ForumComm (in radio just WDAY-AM) and Hennen's group of stations*. * AM 1100 The Flag; 106.9 FM The Eagle; KQLX AM 890 and KQLX-FM 106.1.

RFM now has NDSU and the FM RedHawks. Given the way this went down, I hope that combination (NDSU/'hawks) does everything for KFGO that it did for WDAY.

I'd like to see a team that has enough confidence in its defensive prowess that it starts to look at offense, and averaging five goals per game.

Surpassed UND in what? "Enron" accounting? Building collapses? Forced retirements of top level administrators?

Fine .... 1) One. 2) Inside the leather. 3) Two putt par.

1) Two, plus at least one more for golf. 2) You were 118 yards away from the pin when you hit the green. (Yeah, I cheated off VMeister.) 3) If you "putted out" I'll say greater than a 1.

Based on Jim's Friday PWR update column, I believe we can safely predict over half of the tournament field. I say this based on assuming finishing 12 in PWR in the worst case is still safe to get in: Denver 1-2 Miami 1-3 UW 2-5 UND 3-6 SCSU 4-10 Boston College 3-9 Bemidji State 5-10 Yale 7-12 plus the UAH Chargers.

If the Mad Hatter is missing his hat, I believe I found it. The story behind the song ... http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/features/O...gger.4424621.jp http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/showbiz/2008/...78057-20682872/

Anything more on the rumors about the state of health of the UND defensive corps?

I have it from an impecable source that such an event occurred. The fan was not hit, but someone else was. The stick ended up in more than one piece.

Personally, yes, Frattin's hit was worthy of a major. I wish Frattin would have turned even just a bit (lead more with shoulder/hip, and not the chest), but I also wish Wehrs would have leaned in against the boards rather than cowering back. Was the suspension justified? In the current league climate, yes. (Can we work on fixing the climate so we don't have to have these discussions?) However, I do believe there was a hit this weekend more than worthy of a game suspension but it didn't: Malone's open ice, center ice cross-check to the face of a Gopher defenseman.

I'm finding conflicting information info depending on the source when I'm searching around on the web. Good catch on the "three years of play" back in that era. You're more than likely right on that one so that would put his death after his eligibility expired. He played for the US in a world championship in 1967 is what I'm finding also, so 1968 is seeming more accurate.

I believe Dennis is Brett's great uncle. Forwards Terry Casey and Dennis Hextall were first-team all-WCHA in 1966. I know what folks have said here, but I thought Terry Casey died in summer of 1967, not 1968.

First time I saw a womens player come out in 12 it just didn't look right. When you lose an all-American, team captain to a car wreck before his senior year you just put the number away.

So it's come to the point where arguing about which adjective best fits Joe is all you've got. Jobless Joe?

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/gay 1.having or showing a merry, lively mood: gay spirits; gay music. 2.bright or showy: gay colors; gay ornaments. 3.given to or abounding in social or other pleasures: a gay social season. 4.licentious; dissipated; wanton: The baron is a gay old rogue with an eye for the ladies. 5.homosexual. 6.of, indicating, or supporting homosexual interests or issues: a gay organization. The first four definitions have nothing to do with sexual orientation; and, the first two definitions may well fit a bleach-blond hockey-playing troup. I'd say the word was hijacked.

Was "Pistol Pete" Maravich really armed? Was "Shoeless Joe" Jackson really without any shoes? And did Karl Malone stop by my house and drop off bills again today? Finally, a Stanley Cup captain, Olympic gold medalist, is just a "Kid"? Sometimes a tag that fits is given and sticks for whatever reasons. DamStrait summed it up for this case. Heck, I've heard some refer to him as "Smokey Joe" but that was more about "smoke and mirrors" tactics, not sucking the butt end of a Marlboro (which I don't believe he smokes).

Didn't he come from Montana State to NDSU?

I'm not sure how long "Animal" will be at UND. To me it seems he's figured out the college game already.

I already "tin hat" explained how that could happen: The WCHA needs Minnesota at The X for the Final Five for the revenue so UND "loses" (with league/officiating help) WCHA opening round. UND falls in PWR to somewhere 7-10 and is seeded 2 or 3 at the NCAA West at The X the next week. WCHA makes money. NCAA makes money. UND goes on four game winning streak.

If Brian Idalski wants to become the "Geno Auriemma" of college womens hockey I could live with that.

If you're looking at a helmet, don't forget the mouthguard. Bruneteau is wearing a special helmet and special mouthguard because of his concussion history.

More than likely, that mandate will probably come from the Legislature. And there are those in the Legislature that don't like the "Higher Ed Roundtable" that gave more power and autonomy to the SBoHE (instead of the Legislature having more direct control). This'll be a great excuse for those folks to rear their heads again and try to turn back the clock on that. Like I said before, this whole mess will be a "gift" that keeps on giving for a very long time and every campus in the NDUS will feel the impacts.
