…with envy of all the other coaches who have constantly done more with less?

Seen this many places. I thought the Ralph did it or at least use to do it. Maybe just for beer? But I figured (think) its so a person doesn't put the cap back on the bottle and throw it. Keeping the cap makes it a little harder to throw a bottle full of a liquid.

Yup.

Burn the Ships...

I said to my group when we saw that picture on twitter: "No way that can be during the game. Must be warmups."

Found it at the same time and edited...didnt think anyones awake...too excited for the trip to the frozen faceoff tomorrow

Whats moorhead pay? From what i can tell $90,000 (performance bonuses?) Down from about $150,000 at Iowa. He graduated from moorhead and after all these years went back. Maybe hes happy in that community?

Massey Ratings also have 6 NCHC teams in the top 11. Thats dang near the whole conference taking up every other spot in the top of college hockey.

Are they putting too much pressure on themselves...just like the dont touch the trophy squad.

Probably not that many more. As a lot of people probably requested to get off work two hours early months ago. Fyi. one game at the frozen four is on a Thursday during work hours. You might wanna try and get off early that day too.

Get yourself a projector and surround sound and really get blown away .

I think they might keep it at 7 knowing/hearing all these talks of another "name" brand school that might start up soon. Az might not be far behind.

Minnesota will make the tournament. Only question is do you want two Big Ten teams in.

GFG thought it would be a "big surprise" if the Big Ten added ASU when I said dont be surprised.

Exactly.

Count me in as liking Minneapolis better than St.Paul.

Isn't the game internet only outside midco coverage area? 1-1 after one.

Cabin Fever on National Geographic. They build the shells 150 miles east of Grand Forks in Kelliher, Minnesota before transporting them to the site. Building Wild. Shark Tank. Last Man on Earth.

I moved down with my upper bowl ticket both games. Just walk by no eye contact like youve been there before. If they check just go to the next usher. Scalpers wanted higher than retail.

Yeah see that nice new aerospace tower building being built? New med school right on Gateway. Nice looking alumni center just built. Beautiful sky walks with university of north dakota written on them. Driving on 42nd by the black glass aerspace/entrpreneurship is a timeless beauty. Anything but a dump. Driven through NDSU many times. Nothing says wow thats nice...maybe there wellness center.

By "Big" they mean UND...

Here's what I wrote in 2002 the day NDSU declared Division I. Instead the GF Herald runs opeds about how UND should stay Division II. Then UND fans were split on if we should go or not on this message board. http://forum.siouxsports.com/topic/1472-should-und-go-division-i/?mode=show Is UND still doing damage control? There were a lot of naysayers back then. (Not me though -TheSiouxFan) http://forum.siouxsports.com/topic/256-ndsu-decides-to-move-to-d-i/ UND will soon be getting a video board in the betty I'm sure because NDSU will soon be getting a nice one.

And I agree with you on this stuff too. We're all fighting the same cause. One day there might be two North Dakota schools in March Madness. Now that'd be cool.

I have a problem with UNDs mediocrity. I just don't blame it on NDSU. At least not directly. Its like a bunch of nerds/overweight guys (division 2) sitting at a table when all of a sudden one guy (NDSU) declares, "Im gonna lose weight and talk to hot chicks." While the other kids (UND and USD) laugh, ridicule, and say "yeah right whatever. Good luck (rolls eyes)". They are dating the cheerleader. UND is on the treadmill. UND inability to lead ("its ok we have hockey") has put themselves in this situation. These things start to change the culture of an institution. NDSU football won back to back FCS championships with two different coaches. NDSU men's basketball went to back to back NCAA tournament appearances with two different coaches. These things don't happen overnight. Its been over a decade in the making. I don't blame NDSU for wanting to better themselves and then blame that for why I can't date a cheerleader. Having a strong NDSU pushes UND to do better. How UND decides to react is up to it fans and administration. (Where's the Betty's video board? - this is a microcosm of the differences).
