  1. Considering the early signing period starts in under 24 hours ....

    "Gentlemen, start your fax machines!" :silly:

    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?).

  2. (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?

  4. The current USCHO.com Question of the Week asks: "Which program has the best track record when it comes to alums succeeding in the NHL (top 2003-04 performers in parentheses)?"

    I question whether a program can be credited with "alums" succeeding in the NHL when they only spend a year or two with the school...any thoughts?

    Ask Maine fans about Paul Kariya.

  5. Doesn't everyone carry an (albeit shaky) Dutch to English dictionary with them?

    Son of Tony 'Calimero' Palmiscno signs with Flyers

    Vadeko Flyers have reinforced themselves with the Italian Canadian (Canadian?) Tyler Palmiscno. Tyler is the son of Tony 'Calimero' Palmiscino who formed a dangerous combination in the 1977-78 season for the Flyers with Leo Koopmans. The last four seasons Tyler played for the University or North Dakota (UND). In the distant past father Tony and uncle Steve played for UND and Tony ended up playing an important play role in the choice of his son. Tyler is beside Don Nichols and Robert Starke on the third line(?).

    Tyler, born on 27 December 1979 at East Grand Forks, says he's a hard working attacker who does not shun doing the dirty work to clean up. A very useful player for any team, which fit perfectly in a line with real goal getter on its right. He who the goal getter will become is not yet clear, President Gerd Lindemann is still in negotiation with the Oleg Timchenko.

    Did the best I could with what I had. :silly:

  6. Bandwidth issues right now (and I generally avoid 'DAY for KVLY-TV and KFGO-AM). Hopefully later.

    Phil Harmeson's a pretty logic-based, but close to the vest, guy. If that's his sentiment he must have based it on something he's found. I guess I trust Harmeson's judgement. (He's never given a reason not to.)

    PS - I'm sure you knew this already: Harmeson is UND's NCAA Faculty Athletics Representative and has the title "Special Assistant to the President of UND".

  7. Let's say you have a good job already.

    A reporter, say married to someone looking for a job with the nearby big employer, asks you on camera, "Hey, I hear the big employer offered you a job."

    1. How do we know what the reporter "heard" is reality?

    2. If it is true, would either party, the employer or the person, want to admit it publicly when the offer hasn't been stated publicly?

    3. How would answering the question affect the person's current employment status and co-workers?

    The question/situation has some feel of a "Would you like to put your foot into this open bear trap?" feel to it.

    How would you respond to such a question?

    I don't envy the position of Thomas or Harmeson right now.

  8. I expect Bowenkamp has at least one more moment in him. It probably won't be as a QB but he'll make a play in another role (spotting) that will make a difference. If not that, it'll be as a mentor to a struggling QB.

  9. Thank goodness they didn't do a replay of the radio presentation of "War of the Worlds."  I'm afraid some of our posters might have evacuated town and headed for who knows where to get away from the invading aliens.

    Hakstol is conspiring with the invading aliens!

  10. I keep seeing people talk about the main arena and the olympic rink. Which one does the hockey team play in ? Thanks.

    REA is now really a three facility complex:

    The Ralph - 11406 seats, 200x85 ice, primarily for hockey, can hold over 13000 for basketball

    The Olympic Arena - maybe 1000 seats, 200x100 Olympic-sized ice, primarily for hockey practices (when going on road to play on ice that size) and some womens games

    The Betty - about 4000 seats, basketball and volleyball
