Fortunately (and what rational people realize), nothing we say or do has any effect whatsoever on the outcomes this weekend. I would love for OSU to beat BU, so if the Sioux win they would play a weaker team. However, I don't think that BU will get beat so the Sioux are going to have to get by two pretty good teams in order to advance.

Just like how New Orleanes failed during Hurricane Katrina, and Southeast Asia failed during the tsunami, right?

I'd love for the state of ND to do well, I just can't stand the Bison. I can appreciate the fact that they made it, and its gonna be pretty cool watching them play. But I really, really, really dislike NDSU.

Ok, so you're justifying it. It wasn't just peanut butter, they broke numerous chairs and hand dryers. Sounds like the Herald could've pumped more of an 'anti-Fargo' agenda if they wanted to, but instead kept it under wraps. Sure was a nice stand-up job of their coach to completely dismiss the incident. Stay classy, coach.

So that justifies it? Or just gets Fargo off the hook?

Again, I'd like to see your response if the same exact thing happened with RR kids at the UP Center. Highly doubtful it would be anything like this.

Frank Mazzocco, according to the bottom of the screen.

The reactions of Red River's fans are tame compared to how you would've reacted had the same thing happened to your beloved Fargo South.

The farther away the better. Reilly is an overpaid hack who churns out 800 word columns every week or so.

The regular students. You know, the kids who live in Indiana who are obsessed with a hockey team playing 1000 miles away in North Dakota. The regular students.

Wait, what? Thanks for the new topic, this is the first any of us had heard of it.

Haha, is someone feeling a little threatened?

Webcast info anyone?

If BWW were to move into the Suite 49 building, they would close the restaurant on Columbia.

I'm just going to assume all you guys don't have any other choice other than DirecTV. Because choosing that over a digital cable package would be insane.

I agreed with you up until your last point. Spending money doesn't always give teams a better opportunity to win. An example is the San Francisco Giants. They signed a bunch of free agents and were terrible. Same with the Dodgers. They went out and got Andruw Jones and Juan Pierre, but by the end of the season both those guys were on the bench the young guys were plalying, and they ended up winning the division and losing in the NLCS. Its one thing to go out and spend on players just because you want a big name. This is what seemingly every Twins fan wants, without realizing how much more value a replacement player can have (again, Blake vs Buscher/Harris).

Again, baseball and football are two completely, completely different things when it comes to free agency. Your example is so wrong I don't know where to begin.

Here's the difference. In baseball, a team controls a player's first six years in the bigs. Generally, players don't reach the majors until they are 23-26, so by the time they hit free agency they are past their prime (except for the top-enders). Not to mention the fact that there are prospects in the minors readily available for much less. This is kind of the Casey Blake and Buscher/Harris situation. The Twins will get the same production from the platoon at less than $1m this year, when they would've had to pay about $6-7m for Blake. In football, quarterbacks aren't readily available and by the time they reach free agency they probably have some good years left ahead of them. However, teams usually resign them before they hit it (at least the good ones). Not to mention the salary cap has a huge impact on free agency as well. Huge, huge differences between the two.

You really have no idea what you're talking about here. Comparing baseball free agency to NFL free agency is like comparing an apple to a chicken. The only similarity they have is that players are switching teams. Everything else from there is different.

Signing free arents in baseball and football are two completely different things. Do not compare the two.

Ehh, the food was far from great in my experience. Being closed 3 out of the 7 days of the week doesn't help business, either.

Gross. Next?

Not that awesome.

Do this^^. And if it doesn't work, make up a story about the teacher 'touching' you so said teacher gets fired. Works like a charm.

Yeah that would be horrible having those two on my team. Obviously they suck and contribute nothing whatsoever. Tool.
