I suspect that should have said, " ... some UND fans ... "

When guys from the other team head to the bench when you step on for a shift, because they don't want the crushing hit and the plus/minus minus that they know are coming with you for them, then you're dominant. Then you're ready for another level. Until then, you're just another guy who can play at this level.

Don't tick Al Hrabosky off. He'll throw at your head (if he wasn't with the Cards broadcast team in Houston this weekend)! Think they serve goulash at his place?

Taking me with?

Is that why the entire ND and SD I-29 corridor smells of "adult beverages" today?

Shea Hamilton's dog knows more about college hockey than either Howie Long or "PA and Dubay". Not hard you say? Cut Shea's dog a break. He's just a dog. It's not like he's on syndicated radio or gets face time on "Gophers Live".

If Clint Eastwood and Dave Hakstol were in a cold stare contest, Clint would quit.

Michael Jordan and Larry Bird stole the idea for the old McDonald's "nothin' but net" commercial from Jon Toews and his younger brothers after hearing about them shooting pucks on a pond in their back yard.

1. Go here: http://www.westwoodone.com/pg/jsp/general/contactprogram.jsp 2. Set the first drop-down to "Sports". 3. Set the second drop-down to "3rd and Long ..." 4. Scroll to comments. 5. Fire at will.

Under this special rule that I created UND has picked up both Eric Johnson and Jack Johnson for the weekend. And were gonna sit 'em both on the bench and not skate 'em a shift.

OK, OK, I get the point. How about "unique to NCAA play" instead.

Anyone go to see Stacy Wilson last night? Personally, I worry about someone who's been away from the game for more than a season. One man's opinion: Someone needs to whisper in Mr. Buning's ear that he was the fourth candidate interviewed when he was hired.

Crap, now I have to come up with a whole new ground transportation plan.....

" ... somthing unique"? Colonels - George Washington University Generals - as in the former USFL New Jersey franchise, or the team the Globetrotters pound for show Bombers - see CFL, Winnipeg, Blue variety Minutemen - may I refer you to a university in Amherst, Massachusetts. Go Cavalry. (bugle charge call here) I do like the ... Vegas ... gold.

Would've Craig taken the UND womens hockey job?

From: http://www.in-forum.com/Sports/articles/161731 I've heard that title before. Where was that ... Oh, that's right. NDSU's new coach, Saul Phillips, and UND's coach, Brian Jones, each were director of basketball operations at major DI schools before becoming head coaches at (or at soon to be) DI programs. Sounds like Craig Smith just punched that part of his ticket on the road to the DI head coaching ranks. Congrats Mr. Smith.

That sounds like the rather, shall we politely say, "Filene's Basement" (aka no-holds-barred-free-for-all) approach. Anyone who's ever been to Boston knows to what I refer. UND has game worn jerseys up for bid at most home hockey games. It's the more "Sotheby's" approach.

I kind of expected this "Nash to Cornell" news when I saw that DU added a recruit (not named Nash) yesterday. Yeah, it was a defenseman, but the more important question would be, "Why'd the scholarship money free up?" See above. http://members.aol.com/cheisenber/Recruit07.htm

Citing BRIDGES is one thing, but citing Ward Churchill as a reputable source?

A pox on the Denver Broncos for being the first with that "modern" stripe. A pox on those who have followed.

Spartans. Sioux. What's the diff?

It's a fairly safe bet that UN-Omaha will be added to the MIAA.

UND does not have a mascot. Moniker? Yes. Logo? Yes. Mascot? No. Thanks for coming onto the show. Tell 'em their consolation prizes, Jonny!
