  1. I have a traxis.

    I think I'm looking at everything correctly? I'm on the "Congratulations ..." screen, says I'm pointed at 121 W and when I go to TP scan the signal intensity is 90% and the signal quality is 55%. Says the frequency is 12016 and sr is 20000.

    If I recall correctly, signal QUALITY is the one that matters. I get 70% on the dish channel with my Traxis, but I was not able to scan in the feed yesterday.

  2. How many times has Kevin Gorg and a few others on the broadcast, and gopher players and coaches used the term "The gophers need to Draw a line in the sand"?

    I am not sure where the beach is that they are doing all this line drawing, but it's gotta look like a legal pad by now. :D

    Or, that darn tide keeps washing the line away!

  3. I've read that book and understand the concept of this so-called code. I don't agree with it, but I understand it. It's so full of inconsistencies and contradictions that only a person who craves gratuitous violence would allow themselves to become brainwashed into considering it as gospel in an attempt to justify the thuggery.

    If I was a hockey player and somebody accidentally jabbed me with a stick in the heat of battle I would be quick to forgive and forget. $hit happens, nothing personal. However, if some goon punched me in the face I would feel violated. To punch a person in the face is to rob them of their dignity and self-worth as a human being. It's one of the most degrading things that one human being can do to another.

    You're not making a consistent argument yourself. Your fist sentence implies an accident. Most people understand that accidents happen. Fights don't just happen by "accident." These guys can tell when stick work is intentional or not, and thus deal with it accordingly. For the most part when players engage in fights they are sticking up for their teammates' self-worth after they've been victimized by a cheap shot.

  4. It used to really bother me that no matter what seed Minnesota was they played the night game, but someone pointed out to me (and I found it very smart) - if UND ends up playing the afternoon game on Friday that gives them an extra few hours of rest before that Championship game on Saturday night. (this is of course on the condition that the Sioux win the league and their 1st round playoff series - which of course they are going to do both :lol: )

    In those years where MN finishes #2 or #3 it becomes an advantage for the #1 seed to get the play-in winner on Friday afternoon. The MN rule probably hurts the play-in winner the most.

  5. Just got my tickets to the Final 5 and rooms! Anyone have any info on the Embassy suites? Good, bad?

    We've been staying there since it started in St. Paul - it's a great place to stay. It's a little far from the X, but you can pay $10 per person for a weekend shuttle pass to get to and from the X. They run shuttles between games, too, which makes it handy for getting back in time for the free drinks during the manager's reception!

  6. Well we can agree to disagree. I've watched to much NHL hockey and I just don't think he would be ready for it and if I was him I would stay and develop and get a degree at the same time. I think that the value that that education provides a player is better than the year they play in the AHL, but that's just my opinion. Who knows, I could be wrong and maybe he will step right into Edmonton next year (a team that I will admit that I don't watch as much).

    If VV is only a year away from the NHL it might suit him better to develop that year in the AHL rather than the WCHA. Now, if he's more than a year away it might make more sense for him to stay in school...

  7. True enough.

    Just seemed like we eked out the win today by getting lucky.

    The depth of this team showed this weekend - certainly when you compare it to CC who got the bulk of their scoring from their top line. That was the main positive I took away.

  8. If I recall correctly, it took the Ralph a couple years to get the ice to where it is now. I remember a lot of complaints in the first couple of years about the ice not setting up very quickly and how slow it was. I'm sure every rink goes through a break-in/optimization process with their ice making, but it seems like the Ralph took an extraordinary amount of time to get it optimized.

  9. The UAA announcer is pretty good. Better then Sweeney id say.

    It's probably because he's actually focusing on the game and doesn't have a color commentator to carry on a conversation with!
