Remember my crazy idea of games worth five points? I'm going to try (and I accept all help) to track the league with this method this year. So ... present standings ... Denver(3 wins and OT loss): 16 points WMU ( 2 wins): 10 points UND (win and SO loss): 7 points CC (win and loss): 5 points UMD (win and loss): 5 points SCSU (loss and OT win): 4 points UNO (loss and SO win): 3 points Miami (four losses): 0 points

Nah ... they can leave noon Thursday and bus up. Then spend Thursday night and to noon Friday hunkered at Dakota Magic at the border; then drive 30 mph up I29 to GF and arrive about 6 pm Friday. It'll be fine.

The PAC will settle their media deal first, long before they go shopping for schools. Frankly if the PAC deal isn't better than the Big XII deal with pro rata the four corners could still leave the PAC. And I still can't believe UC-Berkeley would allow itself to be in the same conference with a "State" school (like San Diego State). Remember, reports had UW/UO in the B1G the week following USC/UCLA. Still hasn't happened.

This scenario, chance of in: 100%

Sagarin: 13 ... wait for it ... wait for it ... behind 11 UNI and 12 SIU ... < facepalm > ....

Too many folks see "two points lost to Omaha". I see 22 and 17 salvaging one standings point late in a game.

Midco on cable was not an issue (other than terrible uplink at Baxter, and that's on the host site). If you're watching NCHC.tv make sure you're blaming the right folks. That was the home (Omaha) feed.

Massey: 13 (+3) Sagarin: (not updated yet) Massey has UND with 9th toughest schedule to date and projects it to be second toughest by season end.

Two most notorious coaches against UND in the first decade of the 21st century ... One is 7-2 at Washington The other just took down 'bama

Bring on the lawyers!

Game ball to offensive line. Backs buying supper.

At 42 will we have a Romeo sighting?

Are we sure which way wind is blowing? 28 of 35 into wind?

We’ll hear this soon enough I suspect.

I have Alex and Jake and almost decent camera work. What are other folks seeing?

Down goes Michigan 3-0

And I’m doing faster replay reviews with a TiVo and a Grain Belt.

Farmer earned his five. Berg made direct contact to the head of Jamernik: earned five.

He'll have to go into a corner with Wayne Simmonds or PE Bellemare one day. They'll chat. Learning opportunity.

Minot? Whoever said "watch slope", listen to them.

Who's gonna tell him he's off by three Is (Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa)?

The Bruins do not believe they signed 14 year old Mitchell Miller today. Let's hope they are correct and that version is gone.

Does it?

What's their beef? Yeah ... I said it.

Lather, rinse, repeat?
