With Michigan in the nightcap, there should be no excuses.

Picked by or given to them, they still have to look at what they find themselves in and wonder.

Mercifully ... over: 3-1 Ohio State.

I hope that Lucia and Eaves are somewhere in the Joe, watching this, and asking themselves, "I gave up St. Paul, the X, and 19000 fans ... for this?"

Serious question: If this is the state of play in B1G will their officials be able to keep up with a game involving one or more NCHC teams in the NCAA tournament?

Hey, that puck went over the glass pretty hard. I hope it didn't hit anyb.... nevermind.

I wasn't sure that I hadn't pressed play on a ND HS boys tournament game on the DVR. Then I realized the HS boys would have a larger crowd.

I was going to say that what I see on television for attendance for OSU/PSU makes the UND women look like they pack the Ralph, but I'm going with whoever said there are more reading this thread than attending that game.

That's why I'm cheering for PWR55 Wisconsin.

You mean this? http://forum.siouxsports.com/topic/18758-how-do-i-add-a-photo-from-my-computer-to-a-thread/

By conference: lowest (by PWR) team still alive for the autobid: B1G: Wisconsin (55) AHA: RIT (40) WCHA: Ferris State (34) HEA: New Hampshire (27) ECAC: St. Lawrence (20) NCHC: St. Cloud (11)

OK, if everyone wants the underdog, everyone say it with me ... On Wisconsin!

So you're saying Faison'd be safe if he wrote the bonus for ...

Same as any game: 970 AM WDAY (Fargo)

Or maybe ... 10% of base salary.

So you're cheering for teams not currently in the PWR top 16 to chew up spots ... interesting ... I wonder why ...

That question applies to all of the Committee on Institutional Cooperation and their "it's about academics" facade ... (ignore the Big Ten Network thing ... ).

Goldie is a combined 6-2 against the OSU/PSU pair with a loss to each.

The PSU/OSU intrigues me. PSU, per KRACH should win about 3 of every 5 games v. OSU; however, PSU is only 1-3 against them this year. Most importantly, I just want the team that can win the next game to come out of this one fresh and ready. Michigan is 4-0 v. Wisconsin this year. I'm pretty sure I know how the night game in the B1G is going tonight. Eaves probably has a tee time tomorrow morning.

Well, here we are just hours away from what are effectively "play in" games to open up college hockey conference tournament weekend 2015. Here's a link to the games, schedule, and primary television broadcast. http://www.uscho.com/scoreboard/division-i-men/

We'll that sounds all "duckies and bunnies, rainbows and unicorns", but it's not how Notre Dame played it when they jumped out of the CFA for a fat NBC television deal in 1990. Seemed football dollars, not academic mission, ruled the roost then. Tell me what's changed.

And now a video biopic of the life and times of MafiaMan ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPU8OAjjS4k

I've wondered why Jake Hanson wasn't the holder for the PK. I hate having the first or second QB, or the P, as the holder for fear of them getting run over. When Hanson's eligibility clock was running anyway, he'd have been a perfect candidate. But going to ILB? Don't most QBs that jump sides of the ball end up playing safety?

Some light reading for those on the road but not driving. Yes, UND does also have a football team. http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=209967976

Some light reading on the highway for those of you heading to Minneapolis and the Frozen Faceoff. http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=209967976
