The Sicatoka

Allow me to weave a story for you ... There was this team. A very good college hockey team. It had a strong run of games over multiple seasons. They

You only got part of that story: - UND is replacing the Minnesota Wild in the NHL NW Division - the Wild are being traded to the Swedish Elite league for a dozen bikini models and a crock pot of meatballs - once UND's in the NHL, Bemidji State to the WCHA with GF Central and GF Red River --> 12 team league

They don't have to change anything. There is no NCAA DII National Championship so a DII is allowed to play up at the DI level.

CC dropped FB because the administration told CC Athletics they need to cut $8-12 million from the budgets. There aren't many DIIIs around that region and they were getting killed on travel costs for FB. CC's solution? See: Western Washington. CC dropped football because of money, not any NCAA rule.

Which "new NCAA requirements" do you refer to? I'm unfamiliar with any recent changes. The most recent thing I know of regarding DIII schools playing DI hockey was a couple years ago: There was a resolution allowing those DIIIs playing DI hockey to keep giving scholarships for just DI hockey (see: CC and five other schools) as normally DIII does not give scholarships. However, any DIIIs looking to move to play DI hockey would not be allowed to give scholarships (see: RIT). For RIT to give DI hockey scholarships they'd have to move to DII (see: UMD, SCSU, MSU-M).

Dude, ... Why not just quote your neighbor's dog too?

Kozek, Duncan, and Watkins all left the BCHL for UND the same year. That year they were 2nd, 3rd, and 8th in scoring (in that order) when they left.

I think I like the UND FB jersey in the Gemini link better than the new one shown in the Football forum. Why? The shoulder region is missing two intertwined letters but adds one logo.

I like the FB jersey for UND shown here ... http://www.geminiathleticwear.com/ ... especially the shoulder region.

I've given you people the answer key once already. Too bad it seems (via USCHO thread) that UNO and NMU are happy where they're at (CCHA).

To be fair, that lax game was over nine seconds into the first OT. It's just that one of the officials thought they were being paid by the hour, and not by the contest, so they blew an inadvertent whistle trying to make some extra cash.

... until a UND team coached by Rylan Kaip is in the Lax Final Four. And for the record: I have Midco cable and with it I have ESPN2 and ESPN2HD. Lax was on ESPN2HD but when I jumped down to just ESPN2 there was UND/UNH. Anybody else try that?

If over the past 12 years he'd have led the city in building flood control like the other major cities on the Red (Winnipeg, Grand Forks) he would be able to sleep at night (and wouldn't be sticking his foot in his mouth). Then again, he was getting sleep when he admitted, the day after the crash, Fargo's negligence regarding lack of street repairs causing the traffic death of a juvenile. (The city attornies had to cringe at that one.) Denny was talking "second crest" just last week. A lot of wet snow has landed in the southern RRV. I'm guessing he'll get 39+ feet to deal with again. If you're in the RRV: sleep fast while you can.

And he's got some really dumb ones lately ... Wasn't he president of Bison TeamMakers? <punch line here>

Brain-gap. Sorry. I meant Fontaine (the sophomore) but had Sharp on the brain from post-season. Should Donny be worried about Schroeder?

I'm surprised that there isn't more MacGregor Sharp speculation.

Uh, folks, from that article: Check the dates. That article's over a year old and Jones and Davis are long gone.

Philadelphia.

I like to generalize and just call them "cadavers in opposition jerseys" because they're just dead weight.

"MIAMI" on that jersey is the name of a tribe folks. And before "RedHawks" they were ... Miami of Ohio is in the category of and Stanford and Dartmouth and other changers when it comes to monikers. They've made part of the problem for North Dakota.

cough-Walaker-cough-cough... Mayor Walaker should be focused on about a foot of new snow and a 30 mph NNE wind that's coming. Whitecaps and levees are not a good mix.

Let's run it, with prior week off teams in CAPS: MIAMI v. Denver -- week off teams 1-0 AIR FORCE v. Michigan -- 2-0 Princeton v. Duluth VERMONT v. Yale -- 3-0 OHIO STATE v. Boston -- 3-1 AIR FORCE v. VERMONT -- (how to score this?) Cornell v. Northeastern NEW HAMPSHIRE v. North Dakota -- 4-1 MIAMI v. Duluth -- 5-1 BSU v. Notre Dame -- 6-1 BSU v. Cornell -- 7-1 NEW HAMPSHIRE v. Boston -- 7-2 Yup, I think you got it.

All the regional US Highway 2 schools make the tournament ... and Bemidji's the one going to DC. Whodathunk.

So who's at the Frozen Four from the west? Let's see ... Miami, which plays in the CCHA, which plays strict enforcement of rules against obstruction, meaning speed and skating are valued, and Bemidji State, which plays in the CHA, and which plays a speed and skating game. Are you listening Greg Shepherd? Are you listening Bruce McLeod?
