  1. I think BSC is happy at eight, for now, unless something really changes. Honestly, I believe their first choices, if they did choose to expand, would be schools that would be easier to bring in in terms of geographics/logistics. My guesses: Idaho - they went IA recently but are drowning in red ink, would they come back UC Davis - Sacramento State's neighbor Northern Colorado - easy geography Southern Utah - easy geography also NDSU and SDSU are literally a time zone away from the nearest BSC neighbor. That's not a plus in this case. One more thought: Why are they meeting on 02/20/03 in Salt Lake City when SLC isn't a Big Sky city? Well, Spokane, Pocatello, Missoula, Boseman, Portland, and Sacramento are all direct flights on Delta to SLC, Delta's western hub. (Ogden is a short drive away. Flagstaff is the only one that's not.) Remember where I mentioned "logistics"? Delta doesn't fly to Fargo or Sioux Falls (closest to Brookings). Who loves airport connections?
  2. I wonder if SSM won't be playing this team yet to be formed. http://www.gfparks.org/ndaha/
  3. I kinda felt like I needed a shower after I wrote that.
  4. JBB: How's it feel to know that you, the GF Herald, and I (because I believe in NDSBoHE control) all agree on this one?
  5. When Jake Brandt is in "The Wanderer" mode I cringe. When Jake Brandt listens to the advice given by his father and plays a simplified game there's nothing better.
  6. Rep. Wald is a co-sponsor, I'll give you that. There's the first sponsor because he gets the mention in his representative's bio.
  7. I read the article and what caught my eye is this: Why is Northern Colorado (right there in the Big Sky geography) not making a play to get into the Big Sky? I guess the same question would apply to Southern Utah as well.
  8. Uh, JBB, doesn't it concern you that the bill in question was offered by an NDSU alumnus (as shown previously in this thread) and that the state legislators didn't know that?
  9. You must have missed this "attempt to derail."
  10. Yup.
  11. Get it right 'star2city' or we'll take your membership card away. It's The Vast Fighting Sioux Conspiracy
  12. (I posted this in the equivalent thread on USCHO.) With the Sioux off this weekend I have to watch something. It'll be this series. My thoughts: As much as Goldie likes getting Potulny back, I think they are really going to miss Koalska this weekend. The problems at hand are Stevenson, Joseph, and the Mav power play. Potulny isn't the solution to any of those where I believe Koalska would be. However, if the Mavs start taking penalties they make create a problem for themselves called Potulny. Mankato just took three points at DU. Don't think Goldie's fuzzy little ears didn't perk up when he heard that. Mankato isn't sneaking up on them. Mankato is 9-4-5 on the wide ice and 2-5-3 on the road. Minnesota is 7-4-2 at home and 10-6-4 on the wide stuff. I bring that up because power plays seem to be better on the wide stuff and Mankato has a decent power play. Power plays are probably going to decide this one. I don't see either sweeping; I'm expecting a war of a split.
  13. I guess Roberg is the current Gopher equivalent to former Sioux forward Tom Philion in the late 1990s.
  14. There are some interesting comments on DII from the new NCAA president Miles Brand.
  15. PCM: Ouch. Greyeagle: So, besides Roberg, what other topics does one avoid at POI?
  16. Hey, I've been there quite a while and not caused much trouble.
  17. Why is it a Saturday afternoon game?
  18. The fourth line didn't get much ice at all on Saturday. Blais even noted that in the post-game. Friday? Yeah, I was hoping to see Genoway and Connelly pick up the pace. It sounded like Connelly had a couple of golden chances get away.
  19. I think there's an off week before UND at CC. Patience.
  20. The BCHL Player of the Week (01/13/03) runner-up should interest some: The POTW was his linemate Nikiforuk (a ten point week) who's going to Omaha.
  21. DMB: 'wfduck' came by here one night on a drive-by trolling.
  22. Don't hold your breath waiting for Ed to replay that tape for the exact reason you point out.
  23. Who thinks Ed would repeat his diatribe while looking Coach Blais in the eye?
  24. It would have killed Eddie if Dean's response would have been, "Who's Ed Schultz? Does he know anything about hockey?" Of course, I would have had Dean Blais follow that up with a trip to UND's Athletics administration asking for Schultz's head as well. But alas, thus is not Dean Blais, and that's his primary charm: You never wonder what's on his mind. The fundamental problem remains: Why go off like that over something that anyone in the industry will tell you happens.
  25. Uh, Friday, January 24 is a off date for the Sioux. Did you make a scheduling boo-boo? Even with a true #1 goalie you need to give him a game off. Normally it's every fourth game. With the off week I'm not sure it's an issue. Play the goalie that'll get what the team needs: two wins. I don't care who it is. The pregame show starts at 9:35 pm CST and game time is 10:00 pm CST. I guess that'd be 10:35 and 11:00 for the EST folks.
