There's nothing in Canada but Eskimos, right?

I think you missed something, namely .... Dale Lennon's been rather jovial lately for some reason ....

Why not play off of the school name: UND SCOUNDRELS Anything with "thunder" doesn't work because of that drooling herd in Fargo.

With apologies to Fernie's team (in the KIJHL) .... You'd have to come up with a unique logo (no feathers on the rider!) for the ND Ghost Riders.

Again, what's the state motto of Minnesota?

I can give you billions of reasons why he should be. OK, maybe not billions, but about a billion and a half.

The sooner we change it the sooner Standing Rock and Spirit Lake get to live in a world of their choosing. I hope they enjoy that world.

Tom Dennis: Self-aggrandizing, pompous, ass....o....ciate of the Herald.

On the glass is half full side, we never have to deal with him again. Seeyalater.

PCM is the gooderest of the besterestest!

North Dakota Barnstormers? Let's see, stereotype ND as nothing but barns and UND as only an Aero school? Nix.

The young man has the shot of a lifetime. What he chooses to do with it is up to him.

They're with the home sweeps in league regular season play. Last home sweep (two wins, four points) versus a WCHA team in regular season play: March 3 and 4, 2006 vs. Michigan Tech. Folks, that's the 2005-2006 season.

First part: Cuddyer? Morneau loses at least 25 points of BA and 7 HRs in that scenario. No one fears Cuddyer going yard. He's a line-drive doubles hitter. Second part: Exactly, because it's about defense up the middle.

Win at home; Split on the road. That simple approach gets you 42 league points, a shot at the top spot (at least a top three WCHA seed), and almost assuredly an NCAA bid. Why not win in front of the people that appreciate it the most?

I'd say 11-5-1 on New Years Day would be a major step toward not being the very last (one mistake and you're out) at-large bid (again).

Torii Hunter will prove out to be a bigger loss than Johan Santana. Why? Who protects (bats behind) Justin Morneau now?

Here's what I said: Last year there were two home sweeps: the opener and the finale. January's "events" left the off-ice activity question wide open. I do hope I'm wrong, but the pattern is so consistent there must be something to explain it. If it's the fans, please, explain how we fix it. I don't have the wild expectation to win every game (cough-Maine-cough-'93-cough-42-1-2-cough-cough); however, seeing such a wide variation in night-to-night performance begs a "why" question. This team is not average, yet they are merely average in the WCHA (4-4-0). Why?

OK, so Chappell gets benched during the WSU game and he plays at GVSU. How do you prevent Freund from going down in the GVSU game? By pulling him out of the Humbolt State game?

Given Sorbo's graduation and Tibesar's injury, how's the depth at fullback? Might one of the current LBs who played FB in HS be looked at for a move?

No, Hak can lock them down in Grand Forks too. And maybe he should.

They played like they were hung over. Were they?

No, it better be starting in earnest right now.

The sling protecting the non-throwing shoulder is what some of us call a clue. :D

They got a new "Open" sign.
