Sanderson has played five games over two seasons. Historically, guys with those numbers (except for goalies) don't have junior seasons. That would open up a slot for one more forward. <Speculate here>

There's loaded. Then there's loaded and angry. I don't like to mess with the latter.

We lose a back-up goalie, a third line wing, a fifth line wing, and a very, very good defenseman.

This loss hurts, but less than missing the tournament would have hurt after that late-season run.

To all those thinking this is utter disappointment: What if Ohio State had won that fateful OT game?

I guess I need to see that to believe it.

We lose a back-up goalie, a third line wing, a fifth line wing, and a very, very good defenseman. If that's the extent of it, we've gained the ultimate team motivation.

That banner didn't use the banned word. It didn't say WHO took the moniker. <cough> NCAA <cough> So the issue is ... Someone needs to clue that sorority onto THEFIRE.ORG website. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education loves to take on cases like this.

And there's a team award also: The national team leader in "Missed Nets with the Opponent Goalie off the Ice in a Season" is presented the No Moniker Award.

I think you meant to say the NCHC had more tournament qualifiers.

The national leader in "Shots on Glass in a Season" is presented the Kozek Award. The national leader in "Shots off the Pipe in a Season" is presented the Notermann Award.

Well played.

In Volley's theory, the Sun Belt doesn't invite "the Big Sky"; however, they invite Montana, Montana State, North Dakota, Portland State, Sac State, (other?), each individually, but yet en masse. That would meet the Section 20 requirements.

As much as you may try to shoot the messenger, the notion SiouxVolley has put forth is completely within the NCAA rules per the DI manual Section 20. Does it have many, seemingly implausible, moving parts? Some would say so. Of course, Rutgers in the Big Ten and TAMU in the SEC was implausible not that long ago too. Do I expect to see it? Not really. Is it possible under the current governance? Yes.

I'm picking Miami for greatest year-to-year turnaround in win total (conference and overall) for next year.

You're assuming that it's a current student athlete. Someone with no eligibility left -- no issue. Not sure if coaches could sell them.

Was listening to Hockey This Morning on Sirius XM earlier today. They had Dave "just admit your bald, lose the terrible combo-over, and shave it off!" Starman on and talking about the Philly Frozen Four. Starman had some nice things to say about UND but he's picking the Gophers over UND. The "smooch" you just heard was the Starman Kiss of Death.

Don't forget to put the cover sheets on those. That change came out in a memo. I'll get you a copy of the memo saying TPS reports all need cover sheets.

You know what I hate? I hate April Fools Day. Why? Because for one day a year anyone can post any old made-up obnoxious blather on the internet and every sucker who reads it will believe it, hook, line, and sinker. No. Wait. ... That's every day on the internet.

Dude ... everyone knows 7 and 9 make 16.

How come you haven't updated this: http://wiki.siouxsports.com/doku.php/future_sioux_hockey

They've "turfed" the infield at Kraft already. You can't play with 13" of snow on April 1. The next recognized boys sport by the NDHSAA will be lacrosse. I'm on record here with that prediction. UND had hockey before ND HS hockey sponsored it, didn't it*? Same model here for lacrosse: Recruit 25 year old overage Canadians. *First NDHSAA recognized champion was GF Central in 1967 ... UND won a National Championship in 1959.

nodak651: You say the idea is "unpopular". I say it's time to revisit it. The prior conversation: Start at about Post 12. Initially the ITF could host UND MLax because it is being built with seating for about 1500. When it needs more space there's Alerus Center.

Step 1: Check.

Shoveled off the field?
