You guys have a football team? Well, huh.
Relax, I know UND has an outstanding football team. So good, in fact, you chased your little sisters from Fargo from your conference.
If you can find a copy of the WCHA's 50th anniversary yearbook get one, it has a great history of the league and all current & past (chickens) members.
The conversion has begun.
I was just glad ZP decided to stay in the WCHA so I could watch him play. Good for the league and its fans when great players choose WCHA teams....even if it isn't "your" team. I think this past year's all-WCHA final four is a result both the talent & the competition level in the league.
I don't think Denver and/or CC (or the city of Denver) have ever bid on the Final Five. I wish they would, a week skiing & watching hockey would fit well into my schedule.
But will you respect me in the morning?
I don't like UND but I certainly respect the program.
BTW, there is some neat stuff to do in NoDak. I couldn't go because of some work stuff but my wife & kids just spent a week following the Louis & Clark trail and going to Teddy Roosevelt NP. They had a great time.
When I read the thread title (Who's John the Sioux Hockey Fan) I thought it had something to do with a Sioux fan getting his picture posted on the city of St. Paul web site.
Which, by the way, is not a good place for one's picture to appear. Link
dagies: You're not the only UND barometer I use.
I agree with Sagard, I have high expectations every year for the Gophers and always expect an NCAA berth - at the very least. However, I also like to think I'm able to judge the team's chances fairly objectively & figured once MN took the Virg Foss/Craig Dahl Memorial First Half Championship the season outlook was grim for the beloved rodents.
BTW - MM & WPoS hugging? Gross!
Edit: According to the St. Cloud paper Dahl has hired former MN asst Bob Motzko as his replacement....er.....new asst. coach. http://miva.sctimes.com/miva/cgi-bin/miva?...+20050531152607
