  1. Did someone say "Crookston"?

    UMC stuns Augie

    The UM-Crookston men's basketball team, 4-23 a year ago, is halfway to matching that win total just four games into the season.

    The Golden Eagles have a 2-2 record, recording wins over Augustana College and Minot State and losses to St. Cloud State and Valley City State.

    The win against Augustana was a big one, since the Vikings were undefeated at the time. But behind Bagley's Matt Hoie, a transfer from Fergus Falls Community College, the Golden Eagles shocked Augustana 90-88.

  2. Hak had a bad record his first year as a USHL coach: He was named head coach of that team after the start of the season and it was a bad team.

    What's more important to look at is what he did after that season (from HockeyDB.com):

    - 32-21

    - 34-19

    The team has a new head coach and doesn't have last year's top three scorers (with Brady Murray's injury). They've played one of the three toughest schedules to date. Yet they're in the top five of the only thing that really matters: the PWR.

    I'll say it again: The past two seasons the team never improved as the season went along, but the competition did. This team has had some struggles but appears to be getting better week by week. Let's see what level they improve to.

  3. Anyone have a stamp?

    I need to mail the

    "Congratulations on being #1 in an ends-in-"r"-month!"

    card back to Don Lucia and company,

    along with a "Virg Foss Award" self-nomination form. :silly:

    It's called "re-gift-ing!" :D

  4. Let me sum this thread up:

    - Potulny and Irmen are good players

    - Minnesota is playing well right now, in months that end in "r" (Sioux fans have seen that and know what can come of it.)

    - The important months don't end in "r"

    - Winning in ends-in-"r" months is the fast track to a Virg Foss Award

    Now play nice with each other.

  5. Did Dr. Phil have a sit-down with these guys before faceoff to discuss feelings and the importance of honesty and opening up?

    No, Dr. Phil was up being interviewed during Friday's first intermission.

    Oh, you mean the TV "Dr. Phil", not Dr. Phil Harmeson, UND's NCAA faculty athletics representative. :lol::ohmy:

  6. There is a section in the NCAA Football Championships Handbook about tickets.  It sets the rules for how many tickets are reserved for visiting fans and where they will be located.

    As a matter of fact,

    Each competing institution will be guaranteed access to a minimum of 500

    tickets, with those seats located directly behind their team bench, between

    the 30-yard lines, beginning with the rows closest to the playing field to

    accommodate those 500 seats. Additional tickets may be purchased, but the

    seat locations will not be guaranteed. Please note that bands must also be

    seated outside the 30-yard lines, if located on the opposing team

  7. It is a six-team, no-reseeding bracket.

    - Six plays three with the winner playing two.

    - Five plays four with the winner playing one.

    You'd expect three and four to win so you'd have four playing one and three playing two.

    However, five and six won and thus is the answer to your question.

  8. I am pretty sure he just quit sioux falls and isnt playing anymore. Can anyone confirm that?

    I don't believe the word for Moreland and Sioux Falls is "quit". I heard it was "cut", and I can't find him on any roster right now.

  9. Here's your though-provoker of the day:

    UMD's "Bubba"

    SCSU's Hedberg

    UNO's Behrns

    Is there another league where half the opponents in the league can trace their head coaches back to one school in the league?

  10. Someone estimated 13500, in a brand new stadium in its first season hosting the eventual National Champion, with a listed capacity of 13500? Really? :lol:

    The only 13500 I see in the season (2001) you linked to is for NDSU and there's no "estimated" for that one. No other number is 13500 for that year. The 2003 NDSU number isn't an estimate either (12-something). Seems like real counts to me.

  11. Straight from the Bison media guide:

    DACOTAH FIELD (Estimated)

    19,000, vs. N. Colorado (1989)

    18,500, vs. South Dakota (1989)

    18,500, vs. Minn. St.-Mankato (1989)

    18,500, vs. N. Michigan (1989)

    18,400, vs. St. Cloud State (1988)

    Four of those numbers in 1989 and the fifth in 1988.

    What was going on at NDSU and in Fargo about that time?

    I'd guess they had a guy who really couldn't estimate crowd size doing the estimating.

    But wasn't that about the time the lobbying for building FargoDome was going on too? FargoDome opened in 1992.
