The Sicatoka

It's raining in Fargo. #notgood

He's not on the path. He's quite a ways down it.

I don't see killer instinct in recent teams. When you're up you can sit back and protect or go for the throat and bury the other team. The sit back and lose thing is getting old.

Well, they couldn't sweep a home series all year. These guys don't finish. That has to change.

The WCHA ran a TV TO at the first stop in play under 15, 10, and 5 minutes (with some exceptions, like not during a power play).

... or Seawolf.

If you mean on-air, probably not unless someone picks up the NCAA feed.

I think the WR from Alaska should switch to DB so we could have all four guys with that last name in the secondary. It'd be a Brown-out.

I thought you were going to say you were becoming Minnesotan. I was going to ask if you brought tater tot hotdish or red Jello to the church pot luck to confirm it.

Your math is right. That is disgusting. Why not just have them play in Conte Forum.

Did you just admit to watching Grey's Anatomy? Turn in your Man Card as you exit immediately. That is all.

More rest time for the #1 seed (if they win).

"DU will travel 400 more miles for its regional this weekend than BC has traveled for regionals in the last 13 years COMBINED." Run the math on that: Denver to Manchester is 2000 miles. If DU will travel 400 miles more that means 1600 miles is the baseline for comparison. 1600 miles / 13 years is an average of 123 miles per year. Put that in perspective: Over the last 13 years, on average, what BC has had to travel is the equivalent of Grand Forks to Bemidji.

I'm not sure which of those three factoids/statements disgusts me most.

They're trying to cash in on "Our Lady of the Glittery Bonnets of South Bend" and "The Brotherhood" being there.

First, what a poor topic line. Why not "Property Taxes - Why so high?" Some context of what you're talking about (without having to click a link) would be nice. Second, a tax rate is just that, a tax rate. You have to also figure in valuations of the properties. Then you can determine revenues generated. Yeah, in ND it's 1.42 percent of home value, but what is the average home value? If it costs $100k per year to have a county sheriff, but your county property values are very low, you need to have a high tax rate to raise the $100k when compared to a county with high property values.

Pondering this further, many of us remarked last year that UND had a HC, an associate HC, and an assistant HC (and Breitbach was an assistant coach). The associate HC is now running Champions Club. The assistant HC is now the new DC. Could Breitbach be looking to see his title changed to assistant head coach?

If Breitbach were to go at this late date my suspicion is that Mussman would take over the OC role. I'm not sure there's anyone else ready to step right in (internal or external).

Uh, isn't the board you normally haunt famous for their look-a-likes thread, for example: http://www.bisonvill...rd-Look-A-Likes . Put another way: Dan, your house is glass, put down the rock.

Please follow link and read. (No need for me to re-post a re-post of a post.) The idea of a new tier in DI football has been put out by Nick Saban and Karl Benson (Sun Belt Commish). http://forum.siouxsp...cs/#entry608424

Back to the larger point: In NCAA play the pace of play ... slows .... way ..... way ...... way ....... down (because of their different TV timeout standards compared to regular season play). I think that hurts deep teams that rolled four lines all season. In NCAA play you can get away with "two lines and a spare forward" <cough-Duluth-cough-2011-cough-cough> and can drop down to five defensemen earlier than usual. Will Hakstol make that adjustment this year?

Why not take the whole leap ... St. Clair Gaarder Caggiula Pattyn Rodwell MitchMac <-- in this scenario I'd sit MitchMac for Jim

Final Massey Ratings for the season are out. http://masseyratings.com/rate.php?lg=chw&sub=NCAA I 1 Minnesota 2 North Dakota 3 BU 4 Wisconsin 5 BC The 3 OT game should've been a NC game and not a quarterfinal.

I am.

Holy crap! I think I just agreed with a call by Don Adam.
