You got disposible shot glasses? I'll have some..... But I will control myself a little more than the last time I drank with you all.

I had it as my MySpace song until one of my friends said that it made them want to do violent things. They just didn't get it.

OFF key.

*coughs*......I'm in it for the music. My children run around and sing 'Fabian' all the time.....it's a catchy jingle that is easy to memorize.

I don't think I will be comfortable until next October when the Fighting Sioux hit the ice and I can see which players come out of the locker room.

What!? Toews ahead of Phil "Wonder Boy" Kessel. Oh the humanity of it all. Kinda makes this Sioux fan all tingly inside.

It's on the north side of 13th in the building that K-Mart used to be in. West of I-29...... And I don't know if they have hockey stick stock, but I'm thinking that would look really cool, thanks for the idea.

No prob, they would have remembered. I have an 2004 Athens poster signed by a certain Gold-Medal winning team in my office.....my '87 poster is gonna look good beside it.

Hey, do they just cut mattes? I usually go to Fargo and buy everything seperate seperate at Hobby Lobby and frame the stuff myself for $30-$40 bucks total. You just have to make sure the matte is on acid free paper so it doesn't make the pic change color.

*dies laughing* I wish I would have seen and heard that.

I have a collection of strange things that I had to have......several of them are t-shirts, some are things I would never tell people I have. And I would wear a Red Seal Peach t-shirt....just because. For example- did you know that they make nesting dolls of some sports teams?

"We have to go I just sharted" LMFAO

Very nice, thanks for sharing with us!

Girls are fragile, don't you know?

The no checking rule is all the way up to the International level, and I agree it's a horse-poop rule.

Good point.

It's a tough call, and I know one six-year-old who's dream of playing college hockey at UND would be crushed if they dumped the program. I don't think that UND has given the women's program enough time to just turn around and drop it. Many of life's failures are experienced by people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up- Thomas Edison

I hope no one quotes some of the things I said a year ago......

I would be VERY happy with two more years.

So we just dump the team? Attendance figures sucked this year, and the team was 8th in the nation in attendance........with a mere 443 fans a game (almost a 50% drop from the averages in 04-05 and 03-04) I am going to go out on a limb here and assume that nearly every women's hockey team is a budget drain. Minnesota lead the nation with 1300 a game this year, is that enough fans to make a team viable? I very highly doubt it, so women's hockey should be dropped from all programs? I would like to know how much Wisconsin's team lost this year......I doubt that after they hoisted a National Championship that anyone is complaining how much it cost the University. Think what you will about Title 9, but without it where would women's sports be? And yeah, it does suck that men's teams have been dropped in order to even out the playing field, but that wasn't what was intended when Title 9 was passed......it's an unfortunate consequence, case in point- the UND wrestling team. The problem is that no women's sports have a roster as big as a football team, and it's tough to make up those numbers. So how do we get people involved in the program? I'm gonna use women's soccer as an example, the '99 Women's World Cup Championship that filled the Rose Bowl to capacity and over 90,000 fans- the largest crowd ever to witness a women's sporting event- that team played to crowds of 200 people or less for MANY years before that (and those 200 people were mostly family) How did they do it? It was a grass roots effort. They started at the bottom, got girls interested in soccer and then focused on getting those girls into the seats and their parents interested in and involved in the game. It wasn't fast, it evolved over time. But they started at the bottom. Yeah, I know it's soccer , but the same effort should be used to get girls and their parents involved in hockey. Of course, winning wouldn't hurt either. I watched the NCAA Women's Bowling Championship yesterday on ESPN- okay, it was to make fun of it, but SERIOUSLY who the hell would want to add a women's sport (if you can call it that) like BOWLING?! Uff da!

Ha HA!

Incontheiveable!

Remember when ESPN did the 50 states in 50 days thing? Didn't they say that Phil graduated from North Dakota State? NDSU he's all your's.

Radke made Cummings run for the protection of the penalty box.
