Is Man-kow that good or is UMD goaltending that bad?

"Kinda hip, kinda now, kinda cool, kinda wow." -- Dan 'the Common Man' Cole

Clearly the issue here is the word "hypothetical". Those big words only confuse our NDSU friends.

About half. Day by day.

Oh no. Surely LockMart has created their claimed advance using only free-range switch-grass, organically-grown bamboo, and unicorn farts, because mining lithium, platinum, palladium, and rare earth metals is nasty, dirty business that makes strip-mining coal seem like work done by brain surgeons in a clean room. If we have to mine those things for clean, fusion energy the environmentalists will still have a hissy-fit.

I still kind of like the "Boondockers." Logo? A pair of 8" (up the ankle) steel-toed lace-up boots (Marine boondockers) with a hat like Bubba wears (boonie hat) set off-center on top of them. (The boots would be a nice subtle message to opposing teams about what they'll get when they face UND --> steel-toe enema.) For those who don't like to admit that North Dakota is out in the boondocks I say, "I feel no shame, I'm proud of where I came from. I was born and raised in the boondocks."

Sandbaggers.

Must be.

In the current state of health (decimated RB corps, decimated WR corps, #1 QB missed last two plus quarters with concussion symptoms), it will take some heroic "step ups" for that.

Reasoned response. Fair. Considered. Thank you. In return: Even with Vernon Adams hurt, UND defeating EWU on the "red carpet" is very hypothetical. (UND couldn't get past #7 at home; #2 on the road is a huge task.)

Although it can be much more anti-climactic, the pure analytic approach of the PWR in NCAA Hockey does clear things up regarding who is in or out of the playoffs.

Although I didn't agree with PSU's time management I could see what they were doing: they wanted the TO for the offense because they'd been gashing with the run and wanted to keep that option (run) open to them.

They'll Google it.

The NCAA policy was "race, ethnicity, or national origin" based monikers. So ... Vandals* and Irish need go as well. *The Vandals were a Germanic tribe.

Looking at state of play, I'd have figured gfhockey was with the offensive line.

Simmons wrecked a shoulder early on. Shaugabay got hurt after that. That left it down to a smallish senior (Garman) and a converted LB (Norberg) who played FB in HS. There's a very good chance that the #1 RB in September 2015 may not be on the roster today.

"Does not" is strong; "is not very likely without a lot of help" is on point. I think 7-5 could make it if some of the other leagues beat up on each other to similar records in conference play.

Weekly GF Herald LiveChat: 2:38 Comment From Guest How many NDSU students does it take to vandalize a building? 2:38 Tom Miller, GF Herald: a herd. I don't know which is better, the question or the answer. Either way, bravo to both.

Saw some gas prices that started with a "2" on a recent drive through Fargo.

NDSU club team athlete ... http://www.inforum.com/content/former-ndsu-womans-lacrosse-player-accused-using-players-name-bank-job-forge-checks At least she's ahead of the NDSU homecoming court. They only got misdemeanors; she's moved up to a C felony.

Who's going to help them count pages?

A couple beat me to it: the area around the mines/power stations would have most of the same infrastructure as they have similar needs. Pipeline is a million a mile at least; but railroad (new track) is no cheaper per mile either. They're adding track to the N/S section along I-29 between Fargo and Grand Forks* and I believe that's the number I read (a million a mile). *Is that for that bullet train?
