Spaghetti sounds like carb/starch loading and slowing down bowels. Chili sounds like speeding up bowels. Interesting dichotomy. Who wins.

Yes, Miami is a MASH unit right now; but, there've been times UND has been injury-short on the bench and won games it had no business winning. Miami is a wounded animal: Put it down early or risk getting bit.

Technically yes, because we're playing Miami. Their max-poss right now is 35. We win tonight (35) and they max-poss at 32. ... we get two points tonight and we're at 34 and their max-poss is 33. But that breaks the "I went outright clinch scenarios and no ... tie scenarios for simplicity" baseline standard above. Dude, you asked.

I've heard Tim since 1979-ish ... I'm merely following the footsteps of the master.

Not FCS but, From Football Scoop: Boston College head coach Jeff Hafley is leaving the program to become the defensive coordinator of the Green Bay Packers, according to a report Wednesday from ESPN. “He wants to go coach football again in a league that is all about football,” a source close to Hafley told ESPN. “College coaching has become fundraising, NIL and recruiting your own team and transfers. There’s no time to coach football anymore."

So on pace to fewest PIM/game. Dang Schlossman. You don't talk about such things. I can hear Hennessy later this season already ... Tim: Ness, Montgomery, s-s-sco-o-o-re! Wrister from Monty. Bar down. On the power play. TEN nothing UND. Color Guy: This is getting out of hand. Fourth power play unit scores again ... Tim: Now there's a tie-up in the corner; someone just punched Johannes and Hunter's having none of it. Kunz is jumping in as are Ness and Monty. This has become a kerfuffle. ... < Tim chuckles > ... Now Pyke's grabbed a man and Pyke's being pushed toward the opponent's bench and Pyke's getting some from their bench! Oh no, a couple more of their guys are over the boards going after Pyke and Kunz who came to help Pyke and here comes Louis Jamernik off the bench to help Pyke. Now it's a donnybrook. The ice looks like a yard sale ... Color Guy: Now both benches are clearing. The league and the NCAA won't like this at all. Tim: The coaches are out there trying to restore order ... let's see how the officials sort all this out. While they do let's take a break on the Home of Economy Fighting Hawks Radio Network, this is UND Fighting Hawks hockey. I see 168 UND PIMs in one stoppage coming.

Today's kids can't sing without autotune. Blame Lil' Wayne and Kanye. PS - I've been moved to the Tito's and Grain Belt den. You wouldn't think it, but a rougher crowd.

A win this weekend and UND can finish no worse than sole seventh. One thing at a time.

Oh great sultan of the stats, diety of the data, when's the last time UND MBB has been on a five conference-game heater.

Had friends in the Barnes County Sheriff's Office. They cringed at the thought of a call to Helmer's during the Winter Show in Valley City.

Buy a Powerball ticket; your odds are better.

I notice the "Bet99" stickers are gone from the OTT buckets ...

He is a friend of ours.

Did the posting require an advanced degree? I think Will is still working on that.

You got the job?

Iz gud ta noze peapullz whoz noze peapullz. Capiche? <- @MafiaMan can translate.

I'll take the Northwood excuse, but going all the way to Aneta just to come back to Sharon? Why not drop to Hatton then over to Finley. Nice little pub at Golden Lake in the summers.

It looked abandoned when it was still open.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, ... the Missouri facility is listed at 4500 capacity (too small, thought it was 5k min) and as home to Lindenwood hockey. I thought home rinks were non-starters or is this a case where no one else bid (see Notre Dame a few years back). PS - REA should always throw in a min-bid in case they catch a "no one else bid" year.

The year the Frozen Four was in STL, that was the longest trip of BC's season (1200 miles). GFK to DEN: 1000 miles

FYP. And no, no, no ... down to ND 200, Mayville, Portland, west edge of Portland south to Clifford, then county highway west to Hope then ND 32 then south to Helmer's ... I mean Oriska.

Everybody who's anybody knows that ain't in the patch. That's Helmer's Bar (and Strip Club) in Oriska, ND. How do I know that? I've driven ND 32 a couple times. No further comment. @NDRA is that what you were thinkin'?

Same AI does the calculations.
