You realize you just took a shot at Lennon.

Sorry, I'll be missing that. I'll be at #9 New Hampshire at #7 North Dakota with 11406 others in Grand Forks.

Tell me again: Contracts with coaches mean what exactly .... ? All of them have "out" clauses.

Lennon captained the team in 1983. Assume he was 23 at that time. That means he's roughly a 1960 DOB. We're approaching 2010 and Dale's 50th birthday. And if he stayed he'd be staring the five-year DI transition probation in the face. But even in light of that .... He should've talked to Dean Blais about "greener grass" and bought a red sports car instead.

It's Buning's fault! And why didn't the insiders tell us Buning was screwing this up before it happened? (Sorry, I just felt obliged.) PS - Sac State. Montana State. Now Southern Illinois. Third time (that we know of) is the charm.

I do enjoy (allegedly knowledgeable) Bison fans discussing former UND coaches and UND topics oh so ....

Randy Hedberg's recent problems (effectively relieved as head coach) at SCSU make me wonder if they are associated in some way .... Is Mike Mannausau (sp) ready?

Does Steph on the staff have staph? What a boo-boo by me. Sorry. Too much sugar from the holiday treats grazing.

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=new...id=alxhrJDn.cdc This is some scary stuff. Does the ND winter kill this (at least on the outdoor turf)?

Next week's show sponsor: The Department of Reduncancy Department.

It can't be either. It's not accurate: Where's the sound of Swygman eating?

I just posted on USCHO that perception becomes reality. You could maybe write off Eric Johnson or Kyle Okposo as disgruntled, but an NHL GM on the record is a problem.

The odds of a great conspiracy of that nature are roughly the same as GF's Dynamic Duo (Kauker and his pal "Gretzky") skating a regular shift at defense for Garth Snow's Islanders while using their favorite Subway sandwiches as sticks.

How Garth Snow got off of Don Lucia'a and Joel "no vertebrae" Maturi's Christmas card lists .... One last tidbit: This had nothing to do with the Simon suspension.

Think we could get Brett's dad in as a voluteer assistant to work with goalies once in a while?

http://www.grandforksherald.com/articles/index.cfm?id=61157 Oh yeah, John Q. "I'm Chapman's sock puppet" Paulsen is looking out for UND's interests .....

That "Cavalry" moniker just ratcheted up a notch or two on my list ....

If he was left handed it would be more like $14-16 million.

You have to wonder how Rodney Bordeaux feels about this loose cannon making his life, shall we say, more "interesting". And Chairman Bordeaux has to feel doubly damaged because "Bordeaux" is French and Means used 'Vishy Indians" as a slur (presumably against him). You have to love that Russell Means can still draw a crowd .... but "Why?" is anybody's guess.

Oshie, Duncan, Kaip sounds pretty good to me. At risk of repeating myself ... Oshie - Creator Kaip - Getter Duncan - Shooter

So who put that onto their Christmas list?

Some great reading in there .... Wait a minute here .... how can this be? That reads like they stick it to each other for being different. I thought only "whitey" (the 'wasicu' for those of you speaking Siouan dialects) stuck it to Native Americans.

Merry Christmas everyone! http://www.lakotafreedom.com/

This really deserves a thread all by itself. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,317548,00.html

They're hoping to get on Kim Jong-Il's calendar in North Korea before the year ends.
