Really? CHN, USCHO, the Hurled, all have UND in that 4-5 range. The only place I've seen UND lower (11) is FloHockey (and we know how much Chris Peters loves UND).

From the start of this school year to now: 6 wins. From the start of this school year backwards to find 6 wins: go back to Oct 2019. Apparently the "Covid-era" (late 2019 to early 2022) was bad for this team. Covid's over.

Anywhere I travel (FAR, WF, BIS, GFK, into SD) I've seen "drivers wanted" signs as commonly as "help wanted".

Just a speculative guess, but I'd say they're holding onto that until a Homecoming luncheon or until they can announce start of Phase II.

The 2022-23 hockey prospectus is now available: https://fightinghawks.com/documents/2022/9/18/2223_Prospectus.pdf

From the release, no year, but context ... That would lead me to believe more than 21 years ago.

I'm in "no news is good news" mode. And they just put this out: https://fightinghawks.com/news/2022/9/29/mens-hockey-notes-no-4-nodak-set-for-exhibition-opener-vs-manitoba.aspx

I assume it went out for bid and someone new won. Now will they just get me a Grain Belt ...

All correct, but there's another aspect. -> My septic system pumper (takes a CDL to drive the "honey wagon") pointed it out to me ... A CDL includes random drug testing. Medical or recreational (legal) marijuana fails you on the CDL drug test. Many folks don't get their CDL knowing their 'weekend habit' will fail them out in no time anyway. This is a hidden negative impact of legalization.

Don't forget your medical card for that plate in your head. Me? No belt, no belt buckle, no detectors going off. If my drawers hit the deck and y'all go blind from it, it's on The Ralph.

I would not bet against you.

As soon as the 5 MVA transformers are built and installed at all the EV charge truck stops. "911, what's your emergency? ... Oh, yes Mr. Oxbow, we know you called 10 minutes ago and your house is on fire, but the new EV pumper truck needs another 3 hours on the charger before it can roll out to your location."

Aaron Judge is 6'7" and 282. By comparison, Gronk, the freak NFL TE, is a mere 6'6" and 265. If Judge had any eye-hand coordination he'd hit home runs. But Judge has more than "any"; he has exceptional. He's leading the AL in BA (0.001 over MIN Arraez). He's leading the AL in HR. He's leading the AL in RBIs and Runs. He's <squint> this close to a triple crown if he can hold that BA.

We are in a strange new world.

Some a dem der meetabulls served by the lute-er-ins wid da loot-a-fisk can be perdy scary. Ya. Shur. Ya-becha.

Missed it by 30 days ...

This might be confusing to explain, but by my tracker we have pipeline names for all the 5s (e.g. Senden), 4s (e.g. Frisch), and 3s (Moore) on the roster. We've had that basically all summer. (The last 3 covered was by Boisvert's commitment.) So to be in that "all covered" position a year from now, all of todays 2s (next summers 3s) need pipeline names next to them. Who are those 2s names? D: Johnson, Bast F: Monty, Schmaltz, Costantini, Portz, Kunz G: Johnson, Hellsten We have one of them covered (at D with McInnis). That tells me between now and say September 2023 they're looking for a D, 5F, and 2G to be in the same "5s, 4s, 3s covered" position a year from now. Yes, that means they are already on the lookout for recruits to come in the fall of 2025.

Well, in this spirit: August '22: Boisvert September '22: McInnis

Did Schleusner learn enough under Stig before going to be OC at Idaho? Will Landry learn enough as OC at UST? Will Danny have the killer instinct missing since Lennon? Or when the day comes do you just go with a whole new regime.

'05s? McInnis and Boisvert are 2006s. That's where the wars are now. There aren't many 2005s left on the lot, but we got Perron and Strathmann and Slipec and Klee.

WIN ... or else, at Utah.

Well, the Herald's one, two, and three all before Thanksgiving. Strength of schedule should not be an issue.
