The Sicatoka

Someone was giving answers so I'll ask: What could this team do if it matured to where it played a whole game at even strength (5x5 or 4x4)?

This team seems to be losing races to the puck. Is it really as well conditioned as we believe it to be? Is it a lack of intensity? Is it just plain old slow? I still say Rory McMahon's two goals against CC should become mandatory viewing for the team. He got each because he kept his feet moving toward the net. He scrummed one in on a rebound; he took the shot (not the pretty pass temptation) on the other. There's a lesson or two for the team in there.

No hockey talk in a football thread even if it is two old WCHA rivals.

The forecast for Houghton, MI.

And now mens baseball has an early signees release too. I'm guessing that we'll be waiting until Thursday or Friday.

Good grief. Everyone we've played so far is mentioned in that poll. 1. BC (L) 3. Minnesota (W, L) 4. Wisconsin (L, L) 5. Colorado College (L, W) 12. Maine (W, W) Northeastern (T) Minnesota State (T, W)

Welcome to the game site for this game: Sherman Field.

Talkin' up seasons and records in November and December. This isn't the SCSU board lads.

Back to subject matter: Early Signees. FightingSioux.com has reports up already for mens and womens basketball. We must be close. (OK, it could still be a week.)

Do you give predictions on lottery numbers too? http://www.fightingsioux.com/sports/mbball...RELEASE_ID=3317

He became a Bronco (by transferring to Western Michigan). http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdispla...pid%5B%5D=23319

Campus actually has a significant number of trees. Of course, that there are more trees on campus than in the rest of Grand Forks County is a whole other story.

I pick up my handy-dandy UND all sports pocket schedule and what do I see: Minnesota Wisconsin Wisconsin-Green Bay Notre Dame Iowa Ohio State Denver Air Force Boston College Northeastern Connecticut Quinnipiac Vermont Canisius Peers indeed.

Considering the early signing period starts in under 24 hours .... "Gentlemen, start your fax machines!" UND should be pretty busy considering what they will (and may) have to replace: Brandt Canady, Fylling, Genoway, Massen, McMahon Fuher, Jones, Schneider and maybe Stafford or Greene (or others?).

(I also posted these observations in a different thread.) Anybody else surprised that they didn't swap the seeds to avoid the first round conference foe match-up? They do that in DI hockey, but apparently not here. UND, St. Cloud, Michigan Tech: the WCHA side of the DII football bracket?

Moorhead Park Christian (or is he at Fargo Oak Grove)? If it's the Gunhus I'm thinking of it's one of those two Christian high schools.

I think rube means World Junior Championships games.

Excellent to hear!

All hail Diggler! (then genuflects toward the mark of Diggler, namely the Trucker Mustache avatar)

It's a great time of year. The early signing period is just around the corner.

Yup. He turned 20 in August.
