The NBA bothers me.....what people see in this league is beyond me.

I like the high standards for the group. But I think the league is just too good to expect sweeps every weekend at home. I mean you'd think the Brad Schlossman rule will happen at least once or twice this year. Lot of good goaltenders in the NCHC. I'm going to say four plus points every weekend at home is a must. With of course, splits on the road.

Everyone will forever remember the Friday night game last year when UND got embarrassed by SCSU. I guess on the other hand you could say that SCSU played a perfect road game, and just stole the thunder from the building early in the first period. For the game, UND only had 16 SOG. Only 8 through two periods. Don't think this group needs to be reminded about that one last year.

Off topic....but I guess since it went back to NDSU football dominance.... NDSU should move up to the FBS level of college football. Really, what else do they have to prove at the FCS level? I think they'll win their third national championship in a row at the end of this season and then what? I mean a three peat at the college football level? Why not take the next step? I think it'd be interesting to see them join the MAC. A conference they could win, while playing some non conference games against schools like Florida, Michigan, Michigan State, Baylor, etc, who like to schedule MAC schools to fill their schedule with competitive games.

I saw Toews hold the Stanley Cup on a relevant channel a few months ago.

UND still listed as being on FSN North Saturday. Don't see the NDSU game up yet on my DVIR schedule for FSN+, but if it just changed it will take a day or so.

I'm tired of seeing Faragher make dumb sprawling behind his back saves on empty nets. The guy is a good goalie, but they need to get past the mental block of getting the puck past this guy. No.....Jensen, LeBlanc, Hanowski.....Seemed like those guys were there forever. I'll say a split. Whoever loses on Friday wins Saturday. Seems like its always the way it is in this rivalry.

Over/Under: PTS for NAU: Over 35 PTS for UND: Under 17 TOs for NAU: Under 1 TOs for UND: Over 3 Score Prediction: NAU 42 UND 14

BACK IN THE GAME BABY!!!! Mark M. for Friday.

Ohh dear Jesus.... I'll write an email request to FSN asking them not to show a close up of Muss when it gets out of hand and he looks like he has absolutely no idea what to do.

I'm in favor of just releasing Ponder. Be done with him. That way there isn't any possibility of him starting again.

At least Ponder didn't play well. Then all we would have heard about is give him another chance, he's starting to figure it out. Freeman for a few more weeks, then after 1-15, try to find a QB again.

It bothers me that there are so many holes in a crappy football team that you really don't know where to even start in drafting. QB....D-Line....O-Line.....CB.......Safety........ It bothers me that Green Bay kept it close to make me keep watching. Jerks.

I've gotten about 70 texts from fuming packer fan friends saying the same thing. Relax guys, you'll win the game.

It bothers me that Eddie Lacey ended up in the NFC North.....guy isn't a 2nd round pick. Tremendous player.

Hah, phantom penalties you mean....

Surprised the Vikings are only down 14 points so far. Souhan wrote a good article in the strib today. Frazier is a good guy. But he will be gone at the end of the year.

That there is still 12 hours before the Vikings take their beat down from the Packers.

Don't they explain to all of these people that their emails are public accessible? I'm sure that some of these parents on the warpath again won't be happy with these emails.

You mean 800 people in their practice rink.

Movement in all extremities is good news. Now to wait for the rest of the story.

I hope that one counted.....please tell me it counted....

Good hands, good skater. Haven't see him shoot the puck at all, so can't comment on that. Really hasn't stood out.

Someone cue the circus music with Kober and Hammer......come on fellas....

Someone want to tell Hammer that wasn't Matt Frattin's first NHL goal?
