The Sicatoka

Last year Zach started fast out of the gate and slowed down at the end. (I think he admitted he got tired at the end of the season in one article.) This year he's slow (for Zach) out of the scoring gate; however, he was hampered by a knee problem also. Here's hoping we get to see him sprint to the end ala Finland. PS - Zach isn't out there just for scoring. That's what makes him special.

First, old news. This has been brewing since last summer. I'd bet most of those affected will move out of DIII when (notice I didn't say if) it passes. Next, a story in USA Today? I thought no one cared about college hockey.

I've been meaning to ask the administrator about this ..... Jim Dahl plays for Anchorage?

A simple "Has Parise envy" would work on the penalty box glass.

Ah, the Oakland Raiders of the NHL.

Tickets or beer?

Not to be blunt, but here's how it will shake out: The BCS schools will do exactly what will keep the most money in their pockets. Do I know what that is? It's anyone's guess.

"Parise envy" is a chronic psychosis for some Minnesota fans.

UAA has Parise envy.

This conversation reminds me why I have Midcontinent Cable. (They carry FSSN.) PS - To test your systems out, don't forget that "Sioux Illustrated - The TV Show" is on at 7:00 pm Thursday nights (GF time) and re-run before Friday home games at 7:05 pm (game time 7:35 pm).

I'm one of the others who's never been banned (or even warned) from POI even after some pretty good 'disagreements' there. (Hence, my point of Dangerfield, "I don't get no respect," treatment. ) Heck, I think I was posting on POI before you ever were.

Ahem. More of the "Rodney Dangerfield" treatment I guess. Posting boards are like houses: There's how you can get away with acting in yours, and how you should act when you are a guest in another's.

.... Fournier's off-season work ethic?

I suspect CC would leave DIII before your scenario would come to pass.

No reason? I can think of at least nine reasons or obstacles. - Alaska-Anchorage - Colorado College - Denver University - Michigan Tech - Minnesota - Minnesota-Duluth - Minnesota State - Mankato - St. Cloud State - Wisconsin They're not going to stand aside and hand over a league banner. Looking past those 'reasons' is disrespectful and a formula for failure. Play 'em. Play 'em hard. Go from there.

He's scary on so many levels so just stay away from the children. :lol:

Anyone know the music-sound guy at REA? How about a tune just for Fournier's big dream .... "Cheeseburger in Paradise"

UMD Hires Bubba First Sandy (Scott Sandelin), now Bubba (Kyle Schweigert).

And how many times has a team actually made the playoffs in their first eligible year?

A tidbit found on UMD's site: Apparently the third man in this now three-horse race has head coaching experience, NCC experience, and some familiarity with UMD's AD.

Oh yeah, especially a 'DI' that is guaranteed no post-season for almost the entirety of the student-athlete's eligibility. No post-season is the one and only thing that is not "unpridicable" [sic] here. I hope Rory Manke makes the decision that is best for him. That's the hope I have for every student-athlete. (If memory serves, a local paper reported that Minnesota wants him to walk on.) As far as size and receivers, two words: Dan Grossman.

Come on Pat. We're talking pork sandwich here. You know I wouldn't have thrown the elbow if you hadn't swung the stick, er, pencil, like a bat at me in line. And you know I offered to "wear the badge" for you up in the press box too. Face washes are pretty-boy. Give me old-school. I'll get Wooger by the tie and re-enact 'Prpich-Peluso' all over him.

[Rhetorical Tone] Repulsive? [/Rhetorical Tone]

Parise was out there with a strained MCL. Pat? He was off getting treatment. Soft. And I even offered to jump onto his line to pick up some slack. PS - HIPAA or not, I know what Pat's 'injury' was. Pooly couldn't have helped it. PPS - That injury given by the STrib writer, could that be called a "Blount" force trauma?

You'd think she'd have learned to watch what she says by now. PS - We wouldn't jab at you if we didn't know you could take it and return it just as well.
