Hey, the women are just switching roles with the men this year: The women are digging the big, early hole and will have to scramble the rest of the way. Idalski's on the "Hakstol Plan".

When the western half of the state needs roads and water and sewer infrastructure a stadium is a tough sell.

The suspension was not related to "posting inside info". Signed, The Management

I'm guessing the closer you get to Brookings, SD, the more likely ...

Anyone remember the last time NDSU asked Fargo taxpayers for a facility?

Artists rendering of the return of 'gfhockey':

You're missing the key word "since" in that. We haven't used a moniker since the vote. Nothing says that's permanent.

A teacher put it to me this way: Start before Labor Day or go until Flag Day; either way there has to be 180 classroom days.

" ... didn't have a full deck ... " ==> team lacks depth. Tillman, not a bust. Hinojosa, not a bust. The Kansas LB, OK, ... bust.

FSU? Seminole Tribe threw them a bone, giving tribal approval. UND? Standing Rock Sioux Tribe threw us under the bus.

If it ain't Waylon or Willie they didn't approve of it.

Uh, what's wrong with this t-shirt? Let me count the ways ... http://www.star-telegram.com/2014/10/30/6246026/arlington-school-officials-ban.html

You play the hand you're dealt. Mussman didn't have a full deck ... for Bubba.

I've never had an issue watching Big Sky events (FB, VB) using the Big Sky app on my iPad.

Not to be brutally obvious, but I'd say "criminals."

If she'd have said Washington DC or New Orleans I'd have thought "homicide". Detroit? General crime. Denver or Seattle these days would probably spur visions of cannibus. If she'd have said "Cleveland" I'd have thought polution. (I'm probably the only one who remembers a burning river.)

And "Bison Dan" and "bison73" and you and the board owner. Your point being? Talking about LSS and how they are milking the system is wrong? And until we can have a civil discussion of cultural differences and race in America it's not going to change. PS - I'm pretty sure not every word in your statement is worthy of capitalization.

I see you and raise you:

Saturday was not a good day. I'm interested in the response to it.

The nature of Bartles' injury has never been revealed beyond "shoulder" and "game time decision". I suspect there's more to it if they pulled the redshirt off Studsrud.

Where you left it, over there by your torch.

LSS is only doing what any "non-profit" would do: play the system to make a buck. The laws are set up that LSS makes a nice "handle" on each "new American" they bring in. Want to solve the deeper problem? Get rid of the system that makes it worth it to LSS to do what they do. Talk to your legislator and get the system fixed to where we deal with the problems of the people here already before we bring more troubled folks in. How do I know LSS has too sweet of a gig going? They're putting up this new facility on some of the most expensive land in Fargo.

The knock on this team all off season was "where from the offense?" Season starts, MarkMac gives the answer, and then goes down to an injury that we still don't have a timetable for. Given that background, I'd say the better option is to go with Murphy. On Saturday versus Air Force Murphy finally started to look comfortable out on the ice. His offensive up-side potential is greater than St. Clair's. We know what we're getting with St. Clair: third/fourth line dependability and a PK guy; maybe, maybe some offense. With Murphy? I'd argue we don't have enough run time on him yet to know. He got a chance v. USAFA and he showed enough improvement to get another go in my mind.

It did have a bit of that feel. What was interesting to me is that Michael Parks played the last five of regulation and the OT like he decided he wasn't losing that game despite anyone else's interests, actions, or intentions. If he could skate every shift like that we'd need to start making space for another Hobey case.
