So how will the field be set up? Short porch to right or a deep-deep center field?

Link on softball at The Al: http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/softball/4424073-alerus-center-will-host-und-softball-series-indoors-weekend Photos, or it never happened. And why The Al and not the HPC?

How will we know? Is she the one wearing ...

Seems we'll have another forward on this roster in a few hours ...

Pilot shortage is affecting Fargo ... so now it's really real. http://www.inforum.com/business/transportation/4422627-us-pilot-shortage-reaching-crisis-meaning-fewer-flights-destinations

He means Gersich, Wolanin, Jost, Boeser, Schmaltz, et al.

OK, four seniors (goalie plus 3 forwards), Wolanin, Gersich, and the void left by Gornall leaving. That's seven holes (goalie, a D, five Fs). Scheel and Tychonick are gimmes. We know this team is < ahem > offensively challenged. Huber, Weatherby, Senden, and Hain all have Elite Prospects (EP) pages showing they're coming in 2018. That brings me to Jackson Keane. His EP page doesn't show UND in 2018. Frankly, it doesn't show him developing offensively, even in the score-happy BCHL. Knowing we're challenged, and seeing his page doesn't list "UND 2018" like the others, is he coming? Honestly, seeing that history, I'd roll the dice on a guy like Carter Randklev coming in and sparking some offense. And, interestingly ... his page.

I remember watching tOSU in Fargo a year ago giving Duluth quite a run. Saturday, and their thrashing of DU, reminded me how good they can be when they show up.

No, she's a harsh mistress.

Who dressed that guy for that picture? Let's be clear: I'll never be confused with someone on the cover of GQ magazine but, good lord, it looks like he was wearing a decent shirt and blue jeans and someone said "We need a picture!" so he borrowed a suit coat from one person and a tie from another. If that's how he normally dresses, well, either (a) he needed the better job for better wardrobe, or (b) it's South Dakota (yeesh).

Midas. They do more than just brakes.

UMD keeps sending guys into the paint to run into goalies and doesn't face harsh ramifications.

How about just massive cases of on-ice explosive diarrhea.

Throw them in the CLink.

What's all this talk about ...

My national champ ... gone. Never trust a purple cow.

And it's official: Wolanin met the criteria to be on this roster last night.

stoney's in the lead right now because he called Gersich leaving and I didn't.

Here's a little factoid I was handed recently: Click the links to all the UND recruits on Brad Schlossman's blog. Every one of those Elite Prospects pages lists an arrival date for the recruit at UND, except one: Jackson Keane. EDIT: My source is in error. Jackson Kunz doesn't have it listed either. That's far enough out that it's not interesting right now however.

Bubs is a nice, likable guy. That said ... Bubs needs to confirm who the sheriff is. Skate or sit.

Is someone < cough Jim cough > going to enter picks from "The Schloss" and "The Coin" here so we can see how poorly they do against us-here genie-us-es?

First rule of fandom: Don't talk about fandom?

Seems in a few short minutes we'll have another defenseman qualified to add to this roster.

Um ... what? Future?
