I believe Anchorage was pegged for the nine spot which means that Michigan Tech was probably pegged for ten.

Hey, those of you in GF, Coach Blais will be on KKXL (1440 AM) with Tim and Swyg at 8:30 am on Tuesday, October 1. Which of you is going to provide a transcript?

Nine? Not intending to be negative, but I think even that number is low. It's like every goalie had the wide pipes out for him. He got some bad pipes/breaks all last season. I've long believed that things average out over time. I hope I'm right.

Ah yes, the 'other' ND. So, if Parise is #3, who are 1 and 2?

Any of us ever rib a guy for something like that? Ne-e-e-e-ver. So, do they call him "Notes" because of his last name or because of the musical tunes he seem to play off the net: p-ting, dong, tink! Someone should tell Jason about pro golfer Gary McCord's theory about hitting out from in the trees: He says he aims for the tree because that way he's sure he'll miss! He also says if he does hit it he can claim perfect aim!

I recognize Parise and Genoway. Tim Wallace?

I'm sure this was written by that anti-NDSU Grand Forks Herald. Uh, nope. Oops. From The Sunday Forum: http://new.in-forum.com/columnists/article...ist=mikemcfeely Mike McFeely column: The Bison are one bad football team The Forum - 09/29/2002 The best way we can put North Dakota State

Ah yes, NDSU's College (shouldn't that be tri-college because of the close ties to Moorhead and Concordia?) of Nursing. I should have known.

bisonguy: Isn't the minimum 7M/7W (or 6M/8W)? I thought NDSU was 8M/8W today.

To Jim's point: Check out http://www.ndsu.edu A picture of a person with a stethoscope? (It was on 09/28/02 at least.) The Medical School is at UND. Why is NDSU portraying such an image? Could it be insecurity? Oops, more questions. It was this photo: http://www.ndsu.edu/images/main/majors2002....photo_main.jpg

About Fabian: I'm not so sure he was recruited as much as he publicly stated that he plans to play at UND. In either case, what a wise lad he must be.

JBB: "Questions with questions?" I used two question marks. I answered one of the questions for you. The other usage was more of a statement of disbelief than a question. 'jimdahl' asked two questions as well, but, functionally, the questions were the same. So, you've been asked one question and appear to be upset by it. Have they stopped teaching grammar and critical reading skills at NDSU? Oops, sorry. That's another question.

http://www.redpepper.com Mmmmmm, now I'm hungry.

Propaganda? Minnesota and Montana ended last year with red numbers in the Athletic Department books. Does NDSU have a conference yet? No. Only Babich was at the press conference. Those are all facts. Call them propaganda if you will.

JBB: I'll bet you USD puts a hedge into their statement ("unless circumstances significantly change") into their statement just like UND did. And you really need to learn how to capitalize. It proves you are either completely blinded with spite toward UND and Grand Forks or just plain uneducated. No uneducated people come out of NDSU now, do they? And could it be that Wanless wants some new D-IAA teams, especially schools with smaller enrollments and revenue and population bases, so his is no longer the very bottom?

JBB: NDSU takes 10% and doesn't give any to a wildlife fund.

Jim, Can you change the color of this board from the pale blue to "Pantone 347"? If you don't understand, open the link I provided and read in the lower left corner.

No, no, no. McMahon grew 2 inches. Connelly grew 3!

I hope to graduate TO first grade some day.

bisonguy: I just don't expect anything new to come out tomorrow. I expect to hear most of the same hype. (That's not aimed at you but at Hallstrom's hype.) The situation really hasn't changed. What could either say? Do we expect the Big Sky to turn tail on their stated position? (They have a moratorium on new members.) I still believe if SDSU goes, so goes USD, and then UND has no choice but to follow. I've heard that Sac. St. wants to join the Big West when UC-Davis does. They're only 15 miles apart and could be travel partners. There are enough D-Is nearby in CA that I'm sure Wanless really doesn't like to have to shell out the travel bucks to Montana. I'm thinkin' he'd rather have to pay bus fare and not air fare.

You mean all of these rules? http://www.UND.edu/dept/our/logos/northdakota.pdf

We've been waiting how long? http://www.fightingsioux.com/sports/mhocke...RELEASE_ID=1400

Sockeye: I'm pretty sure 'jk' was just ribbin' Brian a bit. With this crowd, if it happens to you once, you're stuck with it forever. Now if had been one of them Gopher varmits saying it .... For example, Jason Notermann could bury every shot this season with five-holed, net-stretchin' solid twine slappers and yet we'd hear a yap about him and "p-ting" off the pipe all the time. (I'd probably be one of the guilty ones.) Hey, they all look like slappers over the glove from the dot on the score board and in the box score! We poke at 'em but love the hard-workin' muckers. Where else would a guy like Jim Archibald be remembered for 540 PIM and not a 154/75/69/144 career scoring line? (That includes a 37 goal senior season!)

Dropped passes or poorly thrown balls? Steve Hallstrom has hinted at the latter on his broadcasts. And UNC's seen the home of the Grizzlies already this year. FargoDome? Non-factor.

JBB: You make seven years of thrashing sound like something to look forward to. Imagine your life feeling the way you did about 9:30 CDT Saturday night, or like when UCD hit the flanker-reverse pass, for the next seven years. The lead dog in the NCC right now by far is Northern Colorado. I'm not sure about their schedule but I'm not sure who'll touch them either. NDSU's pass defense weakness was displayed by UCD. UNC will study those tapes just like they did for UND.
