Let's play wicked awesome!

One hour to show time. Let's go, Sioux!

Eat my dust! I'm one place ahead of you

Four hours of priming? Oh, my, you should be flowing pretty good by game time. Enjoy yourselves and some fine Fighting Sioux hockey.

The Fighting Sioux: No Yale Can Hold 'em

I know it's cheesy but I love this video and goofy tribute song to the '87 Dream Team. Gets me in a Frozen Four kinda mood: So here's the link to "Heavy Metal Hockey": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dSqoH2RzIM "Frattin fakes, he shoots, he scores! Brad Malone, you own the boards! Evan Trupp wants to go to Detroit, too! Fight on, Fighting Sioux!"

What has sustained the boys over the course of an up and down season and has been prominently on display over the last dozen+ games--heart, grit and guts--sustains them today. Fight on, Sioux. UND 5, Yale 2.

I went a different way in this bracket challenge. Picked Wisconsin, Denver, Miami and UND in the Frozen Four, the Sioux to win it all. I did St. Cloud the favor of picking them to win their first NCAA game and went with the friendly Beavers to beat the harmless Wolverines in first round of their regional. I'm all done giving props.

Thanks for the pictures, MM. Nothing is sweeter than little kids playing a game they love. I'm proud to have been part of this sponsorship.

All these great minds thinking alike!

My picks for the Shiverin' 16: Wisconsin to beat Vermont Northern Michigan to beat St. Cloud. Northern Michigan to win West. Denver to beat RIT. Cornell to beat UNH. Cornell to win East. BC to beat Nanooks. UND to beat Yale. UND to win Northeast. Miami to beat UAH. Michigan to beat Bemidji. Miami to win Midwest. In the Frozen 4: UND to beat Miami. Cornell to beat NMU. UND to win #8. Go get 'em, Sioux!

I have only extended basic cable. I guess some lucky sports bar in town is going to get my money for 3 hours on Sunday.

Re: Tsiouxnami commenting favorably on the following: Yale University: Founded: 1701 Losted: 2010 Thanks. That's an update to one of the signs I made in 2003 when Yale visited the Ralph. Boy, that seems like a long time ago.

Thanks. I sent bid requests to HGI and 119 other hotels via some automatic bid generating thingamajig. Already got some nibbles which I'll convey to Al tomorrow.

Al's Bus here. Looking for a line on hotels in Detroit near Ford Field. Anyone have insight?

we're on the bus right now, headed for home. Not going to Worcester but we will be driving the Ben Blood-mobile to Detroit, Motor City

Thanks, Siouxmama. Got what I needed last night. Missed you at the brunch today.

Think he's saving one last dasher dance for tonight's game? I hope he's got some decent tread on the soles of those loafers.

No, no. It's a joke. As far as we know.

McLeod must have studied at the Dean Wormer School of Supplemental Discipline

Thanks. I guess I wasn't looking hard enough for them.

Those who attended last night's game, where did you find the Final Five shirts? I need to pick up one as a thank you for my dogsitter. They're probably pretty nice this year without the Gopher logo marring the aesthetic.

I'm in. You know where to find me Saturday morning.
