Maybe the Sioux should get the Wooger out of retirement to teach how to be an offensive defensemen. First lesson, forget about that end where your goalie resides.

You're going to get Suze posting here

Seems to be a new era, of sorts, for Sioux hockey, with so many highly touted, high draft pick teens. If this bunch is going to win an NCAA title together, it will have to be done this year, or maybe next, as there is little expectation that they'll be together longer than that. One of the best Sioux frosh classes ever (1982), won an NCAA title their first year, and were very large contributors to that successful season, although I think there were only about 5 of them (Patrick, Shervin, Archibald among them). Also, they may have been older frosh, don't remember, although I believe they all came from the Notre Dame Hounds SJHL program. Although Patrick was a super frosh dman, there were other experienced dmen on the team, including Ludwig, etc. Will be an interesting season. It may be years before the Sioux again have any significant number of juniors/seniors on the team.

I see that Butcher is amoung the early BCHL scoring leaders, as is Surrey's TJ Mullock. Has Mullock committed somewhere? Edit: message board stuff says Mullock played in the WHL (Regina Pats) prior to going to Surrey so possibly he's not eligible for college hockey??

Looks good, nice links to broadcasts via the schedule page. Wonder if they are still looking for sudo-reporters. http://www.collegehockeynews.com/

Thanks, guess I'll fire up the dish a week early.

Anyone know if preseason games are blacked out on Fox Sports TV stations, if one doesn't have the Center Ice add-on?

If you have dish or directv, Rangers/Devils on Tuesday night is supposed to be on one of the Fox Sports Net stations, FSNY or NESN maybe?

Sioux recover a fumble after a fairly long Augie drive. THink I'll go watch the Bison on TV, if someone will take over here please Edit: thanks, looks like you already have.

Sioux forced to punt. Augie moving the ball again. Too many 2s, 3s and below in to keep track of names and play by play now.

Long returns Augie punt to 34. Carney in at QB. Sacked on 1st down. SD 28-0 over UNO in the second.

Augie moving the ball as 3rd quarter ends, Augie at the Sioux 41.

7 XPs and a FG gets Glass to within 3 of being UND all time leading scorer.

Sioux have the ball in Augie territory, not sure what happened on the punt. Brady running the ball for the Sioux this series. Mostly (maybe all?) 2's on the O line. Augie 2s in on D also. Manke runs for 1st down. Brady goes 8 to Augie 26 on 1st down, 2nd and 2. Brady for 7 more to 19, 1st down Sioux. Manke to Sorbo? to 14. Brady to the 9 yard line for 1st down, after picking up his own fumble. Brady to the 4, 2nd and goal. 1:15 left in third quarter. Manke to Sorbo for the TD, 52-3.

Augie forced to punt vs. 2 defense. Augie recovers a fumble on the punt, but............, feed crapped out, not sure what happened

Mostly 2nd team O in for that short series, suspect 2 and 3 defense to be in now also.

1st team D getting one more chance for the Sioux. Augie fails on a 3rd and 5. Punt coming up. Dressler gets hit big time on punt return, should have taken the FC. Sioux 1st and 10, Manke in. Manke to Tatum for 12 yards, 1st down. Beatty for 2, 2nd and 8. Beatty for 1to the 46, 3rd and 7 coming up. Pass to the 48, Sioux punt coming up.

Sioux get the ball to start the second half. Sioux start with fair catch on the KO at the 30. Kicking to give Dressler no chance to return. Pass to Grossman to the 40, 2nd and less than 1. Beatty short gain for the 1st down. Beatty runs for 4, 2nd and 6. Pass to Grossman to 38 of Augie, 1st down. 38 yard TD pass to Grossman on fake screen. 45-3, time for the second team offense.

1st down Augie pass nearly picked off by Branstad. Another inc pass, 3rd down and 10 Augie. 3rd down pass completed for Augie 1st down at the 35. Holding on Augie, 1st and 20. 0:28 remaining. Time runs out, 38-3 Sioux at half.

Penalties on the Sioux 1st two plays, 1st and 20. INC bubble screen, 2nd and 20. Beatty runs for 5, 3rd and long at the 40. INC pass to Grossman, but Grossman mauled on the play. 1st down Sioux at the 25 on the int. penalty. INC pass, 2nd down. QB draw to 24, 3rd and 9. Pass complete to Groeshl to the 16, 4th and 1. Glass 34 yard FG good, 38-3.

Dressler recovers his own fumble, 1 yard gain. Grossman pass to Augie 43, 1st down. INC pass, nearly picked off by Augie. Missed a couple plays, Sioux punt, Augie ball on the 20 after touchback. Forget that, Augie gets a 15 yard penalty on the punt, giving the Sioux a 1st down.

Hoffschneider interception, but called incomplete??? Then a long pass completion for Augie to Sioux 37. Augie QB sacked and fumble, recovered by Sioux on the 38, 5:36 left.

Would guess that's true, haven't seen him except on the Winona video feed.

Sioux hold on 3rd and less than a yard. Augie punt coming up. Dressler 23 yard return to the Sioux 46. Beatty with a 10 yard run. Sioux running back getting big holes on the Kuper side of the line. Beatty for 7 more. Pass to Groeschl to the 10, but Sioux getting a block in the back. 2nd and 1 Sioux at the 35. Beatty runs for 13, but more flags. Offside on Augie, 1st and 10 Sioux at the 22. No gain for Beatty. Pass INC to Dressler, but holding on the safety. Pass to Grossman at the 10, 2nd and 7. TD pass to Groeshl, 35-3

Sioux sack Augie QB on 3rd down back in their own territory, 4th down Augie at their own 43. Dressler returns punt for TD, 85 yards, guess that makes up for the fumble. 28-3 13:58 left in 1st half. Dressler now tied with Lueck and Martinson for all time punt and ko returns for TD, at 3.
