Dive by the University Ave one couple times a day. Stop once a month.
Noon hour pretty busy. Some like the new buns better.
East side was still using the old buns last time I was there. Only one that did (all the ND locations, including Fargo switched).

I was at the pepper last week, and I must say the grinder bread is incredibly different! Super dense and chewy, cornmeal on the bottom.
East side Pep is still rocking the real bread, I believe . . .. all the ND ones (even the OG one on Uni) changed.

No good place to put this anymore, but EGF elementary schools did some fitness testing last week . . . my 10 year old daughter did 13 more pull-ups than Casey MIttlestadt.

Who reviews the hit? The Department of Player Safety. <-- key word
Was that hit necessary to the course of play? If not, it is unnecessary and can be argued as dangerous play.
We live in a post-concussion world people.
I've seen worse not be suspended a few times already . . . the department is so inconsistent it is ridiculous. Tom Wilson's hit on Wennberg should have been three games (it was definitely worse than Doughty's one gamer and Wilson has been suspended twice this year). Hell, even my man, Josh Anderson's borderline boarding call that I didn't agree with the major and misconduct on was worse than this . . . I think. Kadri's was really . . . bad, and I guess he did get three games.
Good necessary hit, absolutely not. Suspension . . . I doubt it (hopefully they haven't announced one already and make me look dumb). But I am honestly wondering what the penalty was, I didn't watch the whole game.
On the other topic, Haula's butt-end was dirty. I've seen a player get tossed for a much more clearly accidental/defensive butt-end earlier this year (on Ovechkin). I have no problem with people embellishing sticks to the head, because if a stick is coming at my face I would delayed reaction jerk back as hard and fast as possible as a reflex. -

I agree with Sic. That hit is definitely worth a suspension.
That looks all body to me, doesn't it? He may even have his stick on the puck but I'm not sure. What was the penalty? charging or interference?

Yeah, it's really hard to judge those situations fairly. Great players help their teams win, but some franchises . . . . Archie Manning comes to mind.
Even Peyton . . . his place among the greats was relentlessly questioned until he won a championship (even though his team was consistently very good), and then people argued that one wasn't enough, then people argued that the second one had nothing to do with him so it didn't really count.

Part of that is the team he is playing for.
True and the way the team is built and plays partly contributes to his other numbers too. Extremely high talent but hard to make a rock solid case for his GOAT status when his team is (still) a habitual dumpster fire.

Wolanin got burned wide badly by McDavid.
Which shows he belongs right equal with every dman in the NHL.
McJesus good.
McJesus has 300 points this year but still somehow only a +20.
He had three points against Columbus and still was a -2.

Went back a few pages, been gone for a while . . . do we have any projected lines with incoming recruits yet?

So, MM is just a no . . .
WMU guy doesn't seem to move the needle.
Chaves was just on WDAZ with one of the most ridiculously poor fitting suits that I can remember. Just ruined it for me.
So . . . It has got to be the lady from UTSA, right?

Shane Pinto, #6 Grey, 11/12/00, Forward, Shoots Right, Selects Academy 18U (USPHL) - Following a good camp with the Lincoln Stars, he drew some NCHC interest. North Dakota assistant Dane Jackson came to watch him play here. He has a good stride, a quick release and he’s a cerebral player. However, he didn’t do enough here with his skill set.
What is weird is the structure of this entire article. I had read it earlier and saw that they say: "If picking an All-Showcase Team in terms of top Division I prospects, the nod goes to forwards Justin Pearson, Shane Pinto and Azzaro Tinling . . . "
Then in the scouting report further down that you included, they rag on him a little bit. Do they mean they picked the all-showcase team before the tournament. Not that they picked it based on the performance at the tournament? Are they saying though he is essentially one of the top prospects there, he just didn't perform as well as expected in this particular viewing?

FYP
Seriously, I will never understand why people get so excited to have these chains show up in the area. It's fast food. It's likely unhealthy, almost guaranteed to be over salted, and probably won't taste much different than the place next door.
[/cynicalrant]
Agreed, it disappoints me to no end that instead of getting diverse restaurants (we still don't have an Indian restaurant and are just now getting a Vietnamese one), we have seven Subways, 5 McDonalds, etc. Getting a new franchise is only slightly better.

I served. I yell SIOUX. Forever will, sometimes by habit at non UND events.
Kneeling is an intent to disrespect, They have that right, and I have the right to think less of them and refuse to support.
If you are embarrassed by the SIOUX, kindly PM and I will provide an address for you to send me your tickets, so that you be not subjected to such embarrassing situations.
AND HURRY! This weekend will be VERY embarrassing for you, get rid of those tickets right meow!
(In general) Kneeling is not an intent to disrespect, the large majority of them are not protesting the anthem or the flag and have repeatedly stated that. We could have a discussion about why they should or shouldn't kneel, but it is disingenuous when people project their own reasoning onto protestors actions. It is actually commandeering their protest for one's own means, which subjectively is just as disrespectful.
Note: I don't think that you (Frozen) specifically have crossed that line but others have.
Personally, I think the linking arms or kneeling BEFORE the anthem were good compromises and attempts to get the point across without letting the "disrespect for the flag" narrative overshadow it . However, one could say that if your arms are linked then your hand is probably not over your heart. However, a good number of people didn't put their hand over their heart in the first place and it was never a problem. I do stand for the anthem when in person (I actually don't while watching TV and never really thought about that until recently) and I do yell Sioux . . .

Leo Welsh, was he that big blonde haired guy or dirty blood that kinda had an opera voice
He sang Oh, Canada at the MLB All-star game a couple years ago. Just like Mark though, he sings it straight, doesn't drag it out, doesn't try mess with it, just nails it 40 times a year.

What post, is there news about this?
I think they just mean that someone mentioned that Mismash and Kawaguchi were scratched, not really an elaborated story about it. Regarding them sitting, I think that sometimes as a young player, seeing the game from above the ice can be good for you too. Might not necessarily be strictly about performance, but also about the opportunity to see the game.

Am thinking of going to the series against Miami in Ohio in February. Best way to get there is to fly into Cincy and rent a car? Is there anything to do outside of the game? Any good pre game pubs? Where to stay? Tickets easy to come by? Thanks.
I lived just north of Miami for a few years, so when the national launched I started making regular trips to Oxford for the games (and to Columbus to watch the women play OSU). Look around at the flights: CVG (Cincinnati airport in Newport Kentucky) is the closest and there is some fun stuff to do around there before heading to campus OR DAY (Dayton) sometimes has better prices. Though campus is pretty sweet that's pretty much all there is in Oxford is campus. Note: You can fly frontier from Bismarck to Cincy . . . probably really cheap.
I generally found tickets not so easy to get as the rink is really small and though they may not always show up, the season ticket holders take up a bunch. Standing room only tickets can get you in the door, and towards the end of the first the ushers will actually direct you to an open site (as of two years ago anyway). But I would definitely try grab tickets of some sort ahead of time. I bought tickets from a Sioux fan who donated money to MU in order to get presale access to the tickets, so take them when you can get them. Note: the arena is dry

Your eyes do not lie and it sort of reminded me of American Gladiators...except they were drunk!
Yeah, they were doing the oversized Q-tip "jousting." We had some wooden horses/giraffes/unicorns on the other side of the lot for racing that we brought over. Were going to "sit" on them and try joust but the line and crowed around the jousting pit was a little crazy.

So "we" win Bantam Elite league, two uncommitted ggf players get honors.
Has anyone seen Helgeson or Parker play?

So hate and prejudice need to have some justifiable prerequisites like having a "charter" or a "platform"? Hmmmmmmm.......makes perfect sense now. Thanks for clearing the air for me.
.....and obviously, according to you, if one makes hateful, racial or prejudice comments it is one's race that then quantifies if he or she as being racist or just being an a**hole?
No, I am saying that neo-Nazis are built on a platform of prejudice. Black Lives Matter is a movement for equality; though there are some racist, hateful people in it, the movement is not founded in or based on it.
If I start a murder club that would be bad. If two people in your book club murder someone, the book club is not necessarily bad . . . the murderers are. If my murder club is treated with more disdain than your book club, that's not a double standard. I think the most precise definition of a double standard is the application of different sets of principles for similar situations. The situations are not similar.
Regarding the last part of your message .......obviously, according to me, you have no idea what I am saying. I wasn't even trying to argue with you, just noting there is a difference between some bad people and a bad institution. I thought you were just being hyperbolic, maybe you aren't, maybe you really think they're the same.
Your response where you negatively imply that I think race defines someone's heart though is just plain inflammatory.

Heard he is going to work for "The Athletic" a new online venture of sports content.
A couple Blue Jackets writers that I followed just left long-term gigs in traditional news media to go to the Athletic and are now stuck behind a pay wall. As I don't care about Cleveland/Cincinnatti sports or the other markets that they are currently covering I haven't pulled the trigger on a subscription yet.
If Russo went there and they started covering other local sports here (Wild, Vikings, etc), I may just jump on board.

I would love to see 1000 people pack the seats of Skautahollinn . . . flights in the winter are pretty cheap too.
