If memory serves from an article when The Al opened (admittedly a long time ago), it's not painted but is colored insets.

Well, it is April 11 ....

What's the cost of changing everything (from the swimming coach's business cards to the turf at The Al and everything at REA) compared to $315,000? $315,000 is a bargain.

Fixed your post.

Please try to keep up. http://siouxsports.com/forums/index.php?sh...mp;#entry163144 Field (NCAA) lacrosse's tempo is much like hockey or basketball (and not much like soccer or football at all).

It's up to 14 as of right now and we're supposed to play four this weekend on Kraft (v. MSU-Mankato). I don't see Kraft being ready on Saturday and Sunday. But I'd guess the turf at Memorial or The Al would have supported lacrosse matches ....

$315,000 wouldn't buy new uniforms. You want to get into the "all that money spent" argument be prepared to answer a multi-million dollar changeover question and where that money would come from.

A Broadmoor. A Hobey winner. How many early departures. Three straight Frozen Fours. And no Penrose?

A guy from a no-hockey school bragging about the presence of a jersey at a championship hockey game. Not a team. A jersey. Who's the sucker?

April A

It looks to me like there's some significant work left before May, but no matter, get it done, get it open.

Economics Teacher: [taking attendance] Bueller?... Bueller?... Bueller? Simone: Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious. Economics Teacher: Thank you Simone. Simone: No problem whatsoever.

By the standard you are quoting there, NDSU is not a "full DI team". There are 13 DI FBS (DI-A) schools, 14 FCS (DI-AA) schools, and 6 DI (no football) schools playing hockey for 33 of the 58 programs. (Disclaimer: I may be off by one or two with the likes of Robert Morris coming in to hockey.) So which is it: - NDSU is not a "full DI", or - more than half of DI hockey is DI schools. If it's so easy, get in the game.

Blaiser's and Hak's (up to this year) teams were normally 15 forwards, 8 defensemen, and 3 goalies on the roster. You normally dress 12, 6, and 2 for a game. This promotes competition for game-day line-up slots (and protects against an injury, or "altercation", leaving you short).

The delay shouldn't surprise anyone given the focus on STL last week. And this, is good news in my opinion. The three so far don't seem to have generated any buzz (here or elsewhere).

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.
