The Sicatoka

If you're not in Champions Club you have little hope of using that mechanism.

Revenge? Meh. Establish their legend and legacy.

The B1G deputy commish said Notre Dame was getting nothing for revenue because they had their own TV deal. Makes sense. Notre Dame broadcasts their home games under their TV deal (NBCSN) and the rest of the B1G stay with their existing TV deal (BTN). I still say if (and that's a BIG IF) the B1G came to call they'd treat UND the same way: you get nothing, but you control TV for your home games. I wonder if that scenario would get FCS (Fox Sports North) interest. I'd say UND would be very wise to hold onto (call it a deal-breaker) one other thing: Ensure that games are always Fri/Sat at home.

Birds with teeth ... < facepalm > ...

Correct. See section 12.8 of the NCAA manual.

I figured LaDue gone when he started Senior Night as the only defenseman with four senior forwards. The only thing I could see that may keep Stetcher at UND is what LaDue has and Stecher doesn't: 4 extra inches of height.

Until I see the movie "11" based on Phil Jackson I guess "61*" says what needs to be said. Then again, maybe Phil's movie should be called "13" to be more accurate.

I remember all the hype about that flop Tom Brady coming into the NFL, and then that greatest all-time QB Ryan Leaf got nothing, no hype, coming out of college.

If Seeler is playing for the Wild next year you and I will be playing defense for the Blackhawks against him.

Truth be told, the largest national sport story right now is: LeBron unfollows the Cavaliers on Twitter. Game.

Hey, that's 300 more than the Big Ten quarters round ....

Mentioning on air "talent", who were those buffoons for the UND game last night? The play by play guy had "UMass" playing "Lowell" in OT last night. And it seemed like he'd maybe done three hockey games before this weekend. The color guy? He sounded like he was 10 years old and had just gotten his maize and blue t-shirt and official membership card to the Junior Woofies club. He only acknowledged UND was in the game, much less dominating large chunks, after UND went up late.

And it's already announced that Bucci and Melrose will be the on-air talent in Tampa. I may need to buy the economy pack of Clorox wipes for all the BC spoogin' they'll be doing all over my television.

Condolences to the family. Hockey lost a good one.

Hawks. Claw. ... Baron von Mascot!

You're a week ahead.

The Baron von Raschke. The claw.

Only the heathen NCAA would have games being played on Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter Sunday. What's worse? There's a dead weekend next weekend before Tampa. This year they should've moved the regionals back a week (no dead week before Frozen Four). I suspect Sunday attendance may suffer greatly for those sites.

Two guys rolling around on the floor groping each other and trying to dominate, or as I like to call it, the average movie rental by Johnboy.

Dear Heidi, As you live in constant fear and are sent scurrying under a desk at the mere sight of ROTC cadets with *fake* weapons, allow me to have you living in constant terror for the rest of your unmeaningful existence. From now on, when you see someone go for their cell phone, please, please, recall this: http://www.idealconceal.com Have a nice life under that desk. I'm guessing 911 will soon be unlisted for you. Signed, Someone laughing at your failed self-aggrandizement PS - 14:57 14:58 14:59 15:00 Yup, Heidi, your fifteen minutes of fame are up. Buh-bye. PPS - Keep cowering every time you see someone reach for a cell phone.

OK, that ... and getting to smirk at PCM still to this day because I called the upset the day the brackets came out. < still patting self on back now >

The part I remember most: Watching the Holy Cross bench in the second and third periods when they started to realize the 11000-throated giant in the rink was on their side that day. I'm pretty sure a couple guys on the HC bench "filled their breezers" when HC tied it in the third, not because they tied it, but because they literally flinched and ducked when the crowd roared in response. They were spooked by the sound! It was hilarious. I wish there was footage of just that.

You missed one or two: Restoration of lost fan interest Annual anticipation for ____ to come to town Some won't admit it, but the energy in the UMn and UWi programs right now just isn't what it was.

Hey, I'm just looking out for CC. Let ASU have the NCHC 8-hole for a while.

You're high .... numerically, not chemically.
