So is that now the straight poop on the story? And when "poop happens" there may be more than one? If you believe things will start moving soon give details man, details. Move it along. Don't be constipated.

What were their names again? Adam and Eve? ;)

Yup. One can cost you your life; the other can cost you an eternity. -
Well heck, he's said it to some privately. Which hand of his was that in?

I wish he'd "reduplicate" and fill in the blanks on the future of Athletics leadership here.

What if the state or university were named after a tribe? Like the - University of (k)Iowa - (k)Iowa State University - North Dakota State University - South Dakota State University - University of South Dakota - University of North Dakota - University of Nebraska at Omaha Or even a word derived from a name like ... - University of Indiana - University of Illinois And they came out with the word "Iowa" or "Dakota" or "Indiana" or "Illinois" or "Omaha" on their jerseys?

Green on black is two colors and this Windows 3.1 thing is just a passing fad.

the"source" referenced this closed thread in his "ala Don King" post. Sorry PCM, I can't see anything between the pixels. I wonder if the"source" is willing to fill in the blanks.

Anyone know what's on the NDSU dining services menu tomorrow?

It's OK Diggler. I used to be a boxing fan and can still speak fluent Don King-ese. I got this part:

How do I know this guy was 3 feet tall, wearing a red plaid jacket and hunting cap, and sounds like "Jewwy Yowk" of Boston College. "Shhhhhhhh, be vewy vewy quiet ... " http://www.in-forum.com/articles/index.cfm...mp;section=news

1-800-the-"source". Call before August 5 and get a "special" gift at no extra cost, right "source"? C'mon "source", tell everyone about this special, limited time offer.

That's the understatement of the summer, and a strong contender for understatement of the year. Gerry should worry about putting his own fires out first.

Given we now have six names: Trupp, Frattin, Malone, Davidson, Marto, LaPoint - Which handed do these guys shoot? - What jersey number is each projected to wear?

Grand Forks can claim having put John Hoff on the city commission. Duluth is trying to trump that electoral feat. Vote for Mr. Nice! PS - How do I just know this guy is a puppet of special interests.

In this same theme, why doesn't anybody ever be original and do a "suicide - murder" instead of a "murder - suicide".

Har. Har. Ain't. You. Funny. Isn't Rick the expert on that?

No. Not at all. There's no "or else". They're only accountable to themselves. They have to look in the mirror and know they did do all of the right things (and none of the things that tripped them up before) to achieve this lofty goal they're setting for themselves. They can do it. They need to critically self-evaluate what they've done right, and wrong, to put themselves into this position (pre-season favorite and loaded for bear) and then go out there and do it as far as they can. This team is better than 4-7-1 at home in a half. This team is better than two disappointing showings in national semi-finals. They have the experience; they've made a (good) choice and they get to prove what they've learned and why they're better. If they run into a better team or hot goaltender and lose, so be it, knowing that's the only reason anyone stopped them.

These guys have set themselves up to define the subtle difference between "everybody can remember" and "no one will ever forget". They just need to execute it.

I couldn't be happier about those guys coming back. They listened Taylor's dad's advice (PCM's signature). They will be better players for it over their careers and lives. (I know I would have a lot of trouble walking away from those dollars.) But (and there's always one of those), they are talking about commitment and mission also. There's talk, and then there's follow-through. I preached patience with young teams. These guys aren't young anymore. I've preached patience with teams in the past; this group needs to perform to their full capabilities, and that means doing whatever they need to do, or not do, (on- and off-ice) to be at peak performance, for a full season. I'm going to be greedy and ask for something a little better than 4-7-1 at home before Christmas. And the season ending notes saying, "Made Frozen Four, lost to _____ in ______ game" has significant opportunity for improvement also. You only get so many opportunities. Hak (it starts at the top) needs to coach as if he has something to prove beyond "getting there". (Heck, Woog "got there".) Oshie, Duncan, Chorney, and Finley need to show by action and leadership that their decision to come back was more than a feel-good gesture. UND (under Blais) had four teams that could have won it all. And yet none of them did. This group might be more talented than those. But talent alone .... Am I glad that four guys who could have gone pro decided to come back? Certainly. But that has to translate into something more. I know they can live up to that. I say "thank you and congratulations" for coming back; I'm saving the lauding and laurels for post-game on a Saturday night in Denver in April. They've set a very high bar for themselves, so high that, .... Really good isn't really good enough this time around.
