Windhoek, Namibia, Africa 2004

Nothing is going to the voters concerning the UP Center. It's privately funded. Oh, and I know you're off track with the on budget comment. The earth is already moving.

see y'all there!!!

You always do

I think Jason's wrong, but what do I know. I think this is what will happen this afternoon. Northeast: UNH vs. Miami BC vs. St. Lawr. East: Clark. vs. Maine St. Cloud vs. Mich St. Midwest: uMN vs. AH Mich vs. Mass. West: ND vs. AF BU vs. UND

Duncan for MVP too. SIOC hands out the college hockey hardware

To respond to the question, yes. Very important to both schools, fans, and the state.

Well, other than Ehn, that'll do it for the votes going the other 4 players way. And they say the 'boneheads' at other schools have too much time on their hands. jeesh

That wasn't my point . Happy said this, ...about OBSTRUCTION. and I responded by saying this, If you extract diving as one of those techniques that players use to gain advantage, that's on you. I don't support diving in anyway shape or form. I think the NHL should penalize players with a steep fine for such play. Hooking, body positioning, and interference are much different than diving. While illegal, if done blatantly or not, they are much less of an offense.

Did you just scan the cover of the top cassette on your desk for that one?

You're right but that was only a 'feel good' reason. Serratore said so himself. Each conference does what it can to survive. Travel costs are high and gate cues are not always full. My point is that the move AF made was a detriment to D1 not their program. Will college hockey be better off with 5 conferences? I think it'd be strengthened greater if it remained the same and added Canada. Agree or disagree the influx of 2-6 teams in the next 10 years would be good. The large schools wanting to get in might have leverage in the short term for recruiting but in the long term a degree from US Colleges/Universities will always be worth more.

You're right and I agree with Happy (takes a shower The only problem is that any given year, you'd just switch around the top three, which I know you understand. I don't think the East refs will stop anyone. The West will adjust. If you're the cream of D1, as some espouse, you are smart enough to change your game. It clear they already do this innerconference with the disparity you recognize. The top half play each other different than they play the bottom half. Here's an example, somewhere in message board land I read someone calling out Porter and others for their 'techniques' to keep up. I know these exist but does Porter need to use them to keep up. I sincerely doubt it, he's one of the fastest skaters in D1. They all adjust and are opportunistic. They'll make the neccesary adjustments, especially teams with exceptional coaching staffs.

And it works. This is why the D1 college level has a hard time expanding. We all talk about the Big 4 and look down our noses at the AH & CHA. The fact that Bemidji and others don't progress through the regionals isn't a mistake, but rather a result of the dollar. College hockey cannot compete with major juniors and strengthen the depth of the league at the same time. UNLESS, we are willing to acknowledge the AD's have complicated jobs and come to some consensus. What happened two years ago to save the CHA was great, then AF jumped ship because "it's a better fit". BS. They do fit better, in AH but that's not the true reason they left. They're just scared of the writing on the wall.

While I agree that the game should be called correctly, my question would be, "Does the WCHA continue it's strangelhold on the national SOS picture if some parity adjustments are not made?" I want the best teams to win the show, period. If the NCAA would place a WCHA team in each regional bracket (which won't happen again) and the WCHA teams prevailed, they earned it and all is well. Although, if the WCHA continues to pump it's own feathers, "does it make college hockey any better?" I don't know which poison to pick. I guess I can't watch the other conferences, but I would. Some of my favorite games are our non-conf games. I don't miss a non-conf matchup at home unless impossible an situation arises. I like the opportunity for our teams in the WCHA to prove themselves, which they do for the most part. There are just not enough games allowed by the NCAA. I'd buy into having a week off at Christmas, otherwise I'd like to see the teams play everyweekend. Not only for my benefit, but for the team as well. Going over seas, traveling a lot more, and having a more diverse home schedule used to be the norm in the 80's and even the 90's. I realize money has everything to do with what games are scheduled. Even more I understand that positioning your program for the best NCAA tournament opportunity is essential. I'd just like to see them play a couple more non-conf series. Not saying it would be easy.

Ok, that'd be the frog, Kermit. But that was earlier, no? What # did thunder wear on his jersey?

I haven't forgotten, but ... Does One need to quote themselves, or rather, just restate the 'trademarked' phrase?

Have fun and cheer loud, the boys are fired up to win, DU's the ilk. As far as the Avs go, thank gawd for that...

How was that 'cleared up'?

You're right except it's not as you claim. The goals go; 2,3,4,3,6,5,7,8,4,2, and 1. Therefore, the crecendo is now rebuilding. Let's just hope our 12th game from now, our opponent gets less than 1 goal.

I'd buy a row of seats, part of the boards (if they still are there and particularly the Dachyshyn Wall, but most of all I'd like several of the metal panels from behind the top row of seats. Nothing will ever replace the noise we could make at a game like those.

I liked it when he wore #7

You know, I thought about this perspective and I'm not buying. They'll win 2-3 points this weekend but more importantly they need to knock off DU in a big way. 4 points for them would most likely assure a 3rd seed in the WCHA and a guaranteed sweet 16. I'm all for the this game/that game crap, but a man has to have goals. The short term is DU.
