No, I think they were bionic. "We can rebuild him, ... better, faster, stronger ... "

Ausmus is a senior. You have to assume Tucker Poolman goes. Chartrand is a sophomore that has never cracked the (non-exhibition) lineup. That's a combo that seldom sees a junior season. There's three slots in my mind. And then I'd have brought up Wolanin, except for his play the last couple weeks.

Duluth was bigger, faster, stronger on the puck and stick, and more decisive. Plus they are a veteran squad at defense with a couple highly skilled forwards up front. They are built for right now. And it showed.

Kennedy was/is a politician. He knows it's important to stay connected to key parts of the constituency.

Thread locked. No politics. Thank you.

Pure educated guess, but for UND I'd speculate ... Andrew Zimmerman or Brock Boltmann. In 2019 Zimmerman will be a senior and Boltmann a sophomore.

I took the same patches (WAC has ability to bestow FBS; Cal Baptist to WAC) and my own thread (thoughts) and came up with a different looking quilt. < shrug >

Sit down Nancy.

Your thoughts (the stitching) require no evidence as they are hypotheses to be proved or disproved. But, admittedly, yes, the patches (the pieces of data) should have sources and references. And understand, I'm not talking SV here, I'm talking any discussion.

There's always a choice. They could've challenged the Big Ten bylaw. Heck, they could've left the Big Ten. Sure, not practical, but possible, so choices. They chose to fall in line with the BTHC which means that was their best choice in their minds. They made the choice best for them.

Minnesota acted first and did what it believed best for it. North Dakota then did what it believed best for it. Nothing more need be said.

It's the ongoing theme in Season 20.

The funny thing about baseball analogies (I'll fully admit) is that sometimes the beaten down impossible ... well ... here (and I'm no Dodger fan):

burd can help you.

No, I said his thoughts are the thread. A quilt is as good as its stitching.

I'll give Dave this: He added a new definition to the phrase "jersey chaser".

Don't call us your pet names ...

I try to use them like a great artist painting a canvas. (And with that I just went all simile on you. )

He's making his quilt. You don't have to cuddle up in it. I stand and look at it for the patches of information.

The one that stands out in my mind: UND to BSC.
