The Sicatoka

Because he's human and humans learn from mistakes. How many missed assignments happen on the interior line that you never rail on? Just because this one was highly visible is no excuse. Let it go already.

Did any of the reviews help UND's momentum or slow SDSU's? <- That's a rhetorical question. They were all deflating to UND.

Exactly. Now get the top six ahead of that figured out.

I saw somewhere that Northstar Academy is now rated the second best program in the US after something called "Shattuck-St Mary".

Change it back. Make them take the walk of shame through the verbal vitriol.

"AZ" is Arizona, or U of Arizona. You mean ASU.* *I get peevish on that because we don't put up with people mis-referencing UND and NDSU.

Why does the player just have their bucket taken away? Why don't they have to go down the tunnel (like hockey)?

Three plays: - the pick 6 - the Janke punt return - the forced fumble on UND29 Were those UND mistakes, or championship plays made by a championship caliber team? To take the next step you need to be shown what it looks like. We were shown. What comes next is: What does UND do with it. Firstly, it must not regress from the team the 4-2 team that took the field. Next, it must build off what was learned (the hard way) by the 4-3 team that left the field. Do both, and it's a step closer to where we all want them to be. But the first step is no regression this week. Beat ACU.

@gfhockeydoesn't have his altar to Jobu set up quite yet. And he needs a whole chicken.

Well Montana State is both 3 and 11. That's all you need to know about the gravitas of this poll.

When the announcers start joking that reviews could become a drinking game ...

At risk of repeating myself ...

That knee looks rotated 90 inboard.

You're not wrong.

Take the three major fingers on your right hand and put them on the left side of your throat beside the esophagus. Do you feel a rhythmic throb right there? That WR has the same thing. Pro Tip: As long as that throb is there, the person with it will make mistakes. When the throb is gone, no more mistakes, but slightly larger problems.

You can have the Bally's announcing crew from Saturday. I shut down the audio. Learn the rule book M77. But thanks for not before now. Having your stick "returned" in your home rink is absolutely hilarious. Why is it UND2 and UND3 (the HEA and ECAC grad transfers, you know, the 'soft' leagues) are the two who know how to deal with M89? UND2 gets full marks for putting him in the blue paint grave yard with the hit captured on Twitter. UND6 was flat bad Friday; I'm liking what UND2 did Saturday. If the call on UND25 is a major, there should be 3 or 4 majors called in every NCAA game. If we see Minnesota again, it won't be on a glacier. < evil grin spreads across my face >

So go read the box score.

I thought North Dakota was in Minneapolis.

It was their Stanley Cup.

Point of Order: a reference to "on the back end" is a reference to the defensive corps. Boisvert is a forward. I suspect you mean get him into the bottom six forward group*. Then again, you may have meant McInnis and the reference would be correct as he's a defender. *I see hockey moving from a 6-6 forwards mindset to a 9-3. You need scoring from a heavy third line. TBL has shown this formula works.

A lot of football yet to be played. Who had USD over SIU? Learn from the loss but don't let it fester and compound.

Massey has UND at 15 and ACU at 43 this week.

Fix the mistakes. Win the games you're supposed to win. Focus on this game as that's all there is. Control what's yours to control.

If you have Twitter, ping https://twitter.com/pirps19 (Mike Prpich). He's had a couple sweet outdoor rinks for the kids. He'd have good advice.

That being ...
