oh...I thought maybe the bus had problems on the way to iowa. thanks.

I am tuning in late on radio... what's the talk about the bus trip--what happened?

hmm. wonder why FSN, the station that carries Gopher hockey, didn't show any of that???

did i miss something, or did FSN not show the Lamoureuxs throw out the first pitch tonight?

road games are rarely shown because it costs thousands of dollars to send game back to gf by satellite. for home games, they dont have to pay to satellite the signal back. radio usually uses a phone line which is much cheaper.

fssn is not producing it...the wisconsin telecast will be seen on the channel that normally carries fssn. it is on a different satellite than normally carries the fssn games. check with your cable company to see if they can get it.

actually he did not say they bid on next weeks game, he said if UND wins at uno, daz would bid on next weeks game

channel 8 had all this last nite, w/video of play... www.wdaz.com

only 2 reg. season fb game were televised last yr: st cloud and omaha...then they televised duluth and grand valley playoff games

From the Buffalo (NY) paper.... Athlete suspended after arrest By VANESSA THOMAS News Staff Reporter 12/14/2004 A Canisius College hockey player was suspended from the team Monday after his arrest Sunday for allegedly exposing himself inside an Elmwood Avenue restaurant, fighting with customers and punching a police officer in the face. Daniel Bognar, 22, a junior from Guelph, Ont., who plays forward on the team, was charged with felony assault, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. Canisius Athletic Director Timothy J. Dillon said in a statement Monday that Bognar was "suspended from the team indefinitely for violating team rules." College officials said that an internal investigation of Bognar's conduct is under way and that a decision will be made this week on whether further disciplinary action will be taken. Bognar is facing the possibility of expulsion from the school and deportation if his student visa is revoked. "Any strong violator of the school's community standards would result in harsh sanctions," said Cary Anderson, dean of students. "If a student is found responsible, then there are sanctions that can range anywhere from a warning to suspension to expulsion," Anderson said. "Any person on a student visa who is convicted of a felony could lose their status on a student visa." Police said the incident began at about 4:30 a.m. inside Jim's Steak-Out, 938 Elmwood Ave. After exposing himself to a customer, police said, Bognar started fighting with customers. When police arrived, Bognar pushed Officer Obed Casillas and punched him in the face, then continued to push and shove Casillas and Officer Anthony Figueroa, according to police reports. The officers then subdued Bognar and handcuffed him, police said. According to police reports, Casillas suffered pain, bruising and a swollen left lip and cheek. So far this season, Bognar, who is listed as 6-foot-4 and 224 pounds, has played in nine of the team's 16 games and has a goal and three assists. He has played 30 games in his three seasons, with a career total of three goals and eight assists. e-mail: vthomas@buffnews.com

Amen! No shame in reaching the final four.

Fine. Thank you. Good night.

Dear Wilbur: Fine, you're entitled to your opinion. My opinion is, the interviewer was simply doing his job. I taped the game, and just watched the interview. The guy asked lennon two questions about the play: 1) what's your interpretation of the rule, and 2) was it the right call. The whole sequence about the play took a total of 23 seconds (i would hardly call that beating it to death), and when Lennon refused to comment on the second question, the reporter moved on. As for the Kansas coach, if he bad mouths the officials, how is that the reporter's fault? You're calling the reporter "an idiot" for what came out of the coach's mouth?! Please!

Given coach Lennon's reaction, the TV reporter had every right to ask about the leaping penalty. And it was obvious what Lennon thought about the call when he declined comment. You know other reporters asked Lennon about it later...because The GF paper gave it quite a bit of covreage...with Lennon saying he didnt want to talk about it till he saw replay. I didnt think the interviewer belabored the point.

football game is on WDAZ Ch. 8 in GF area... NOT Ch. 23. cable coverage on FSSN is only OUT-side the WDAZ coverage area. best way to make sure is call your local Cable operator..

(sorry if above link didn't work, here it is..) UAA has a hole to plug HOCKEY: Team down a lead scorer when Fournier loses scholarship, says he's moving on. By DOYLE WOODY Anchorage Daily News (Published: August 10, 2004) Center Chris Fournier, who would have been the UAA hockey team's leading returning scorer, is academically ineligible for the upcoming semester and says he will turn professional. Fournier, 22, of Anchorage, said he decided "a few months ago'' he would not return to UAA and currently is mulling his options in pro hockey. "I just felt it was time to move on to the next level, so that's what I'm going to do,'' Fournier said. But UAA coach John Hill said Fournier never told him or his assistant coaches of any such decision. "Chris became ineligible in the spring semester,'' Hill said. "To become eligible, he needed to take some summer classes, and he failed to complete them. "We wish him the very best in his future endeavors.'' UAA did not announce Fournier's ineligibility, but last week it removed his name from the roster posted on the athletic department's Web site. Fournier, who would have been a junior, scored 14 goals and added a team-high 18 assists last season. He was the team's second-leading scorer behind linemate Curtis Glencross, who turned professional after his 21-goal sophomore season, signing a contract with the NHL's Anaheim Mighty Ducks that included a $750,000 signing bonus. Fournier said having his scholarship stripped prompted his decision to leave college hockey. "Was I a big fan of school? No. But they made a decision easy because they were going to revoke my scholarship, which seems kind of funny when you're their second-leading scorer,'' Fournier said. But Dede Allen, UAA's associate athletic director for academics and compliance, said it is not uncommon for an athlete to have a scholarship revoked after becoming academically ineligible. Allen said she could not speak specifically about Fournier's case because of privacy issues. Hill said the school followed institutional policy in revoking Fournier's scholarship. "It was a decision in the financial aid office, not in the hockey office,'' Hill said. "I think we did everything to aid Chris in his academics -- tutors were readily available. "I gladly support our academic mission.'' Fournier's departure leaves a hole in the UAA lineup. Last season, he centered the team's top line and quarterbacked its power play. Fournier's absence, along with Glencross' early move to the pros, Dallas Steward's departure after a 15-goal senior season and the loss of a couple of other players, means UAA has lost 54.8 percent of its goal scoring from last season's team. The Seawolves' leading returning scorer will be sophomore center Charlie Kronschnabel, who earned 9-13--22 totals in 33 games last season. UAA will not have a returner who reached double digits in goals last season, when the Seawolves (14-23-3) won a playoff series in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association for the first time and advanced to the WCHA Final Five, winning one game there. "I really believe this: We have guys who are in shape, guys who have worked hard in the summer, and I think they're excited about the season,'' Hill said. "You concentrate your energy on the players who are part of your program. "We have a lot of confidence and faith in the kids coming back.'' The Seawolves have six remaining skaters who are either natural centers or can play center -- Kron- schnabel, sophomore Brett Arcand-Kootenay, senior Martin Stuchlik, and freshmen Eric Walsky, Merit Waldrop and Blair Tassone. They are among 15 forwards listed on UAA's roster, which features nine returning forwards and six freshman forwards. Fournier arrived at UAA two seasons ago after transferring from North Dakota of the WCHA, where he played his freshman season. He had to sit out one season as dictated by NCAA transfer rules. Prior to college, Fournier led the U.S. Hockey League in scoring in 2000-01 and was named USA Hockey's junior player of the year. He also was the Daily News/Coaches state player of the year as a freshman at East High before going Outside to play junior hockey. While Fournier is gone from UAA, the Seawolves expect to regain the services of junior defenseman Matt Hanson. Hanson became academically ineligible midway through last season, but Hill said he anticipates Hanson will be eligible when his grades from summer school courses are recorded.
