The Herald's 1, 2, and 3 all before Thankgiving.

OK, OK, you forced me into it. My predictions for lines you'll see on the ice: a red line 2 inches wide, between 10 and 15 feet from each end of the rink drawn completely across the width of the ice lines 12 inches in width and blue in color, drawn between 60 and 64 feet out from the goal lines, extending completely across the rink parallel with the goal lines a line 12 inches in width and red in color, drawn completely across and bisecting the rink, parallel with the goal lines

One man's legendary is another's notorious.

Correct.

That's what I was suspecting.

Ten years ago there were three guys that made sense: DeBoer, Leipold, Caruso. Two of them are where they seemed headed. The third seems happy where he is.

Isn't there a meme picture you're supposed to use with that line?

I don't see a 40 time in his Twitter bio ... if you don't note it I worry it's not noteworthy. Alternatively, he did attend NDSU's junior day and chose UND.

A good sign ...

I know zip about the sport, and have seen little of the games, but in what I did see digging seemed to be more of a comms problem (who's going for it) than a skills problem. That's not surprising in a new group.

She caused it? That < bleep >.

It's not the what; it's the how many. I've heard it's over half the team that's under the weather. Somebody call Mel Pearson for advice.

I heard they're going to verify either way this morning. Say "a-a-a-ah" ...

Yes. It plays in the FCS subdivision of NCAA Division I. From the NCAA Division I manual: I know that doesn't fit your narrative, but if you're going to use NCAA terms ('division') you need use their definitions as well. Now if you claimed UND doesn't play in the "top tier" meaning FBS > FCS you'd have an argument.

I'm gonna get in trouble for this; I can take it. So many of you are so concerned about what is put on a UND jersey; I'm more concerned about what is put in a UND jersey. Good players, good people made the UND jersey, not the other way.

It's 3 minutes to end of intermission. Games and ads are done. The arena is darkened. The ring gives the 3 Minute warning. After 20 second or so of that annoyance the ring goes dark also. And the pre-entrance interlude starts ... < DONG > And after that runs for about 2:15 ... Darren Looker: Ladies and gentlemen, ... here come your Fighting Hawks! < you know what comes here > The old codger 80s kids and the new breed 20s pups both recognize both.

Dear Pooly, May I respectfully recommend a stronger regime of this and this and this? Signed, I ain't no doctor but I ain't caught Covid and have been exposed ... a lot.

Maybe we're doing a "Michigan" and trying to dodge a team that wears brown and yellow. Western fans, what say you?

I heard whispers that it's strep throat racing through the room. One guy with it sneezes and everyone's exposed.

Dare I say a less than auspicious start to the season ...

So Rocco is trying to stick with the Quack Attack?
