  1. overheard a student at the hockey game ask another student if he voted yet...he said he did the first two times but aint voting this time....One less for FH????

    I would say it probably was someone who voted Nokaks twice and doesn't care which of the last two get voted in. Just my guess.

  2. If UND plays like they did against Wyo, NDSU by 3 touchdowns. If they play like they did against Drake, NDSU by 6 touchdowns. Wyoming just got killed by a historically awful Eastern Michigan team. That was Eastern's first non conference road win in about 30 years. That is an Eastern Michigan that would finish in the bottom half of the Missouri Valley FC. Wyoming may not win a game this year.

    I agree. Wyoming sucks and their coach doesn't know his a$$ from a hole in the ground. He's taken they from bad to worse.

  3. Agree.  I've been to a number of games there in the past.  Their fanbase seems to be a mix of natives with no clue about hockey, and transplants who know more about the game.  However, they tend to be vocal and pretty loyal.  And downtown Nashville can be a lot of fun.

    I was also at a Predators game two months ago and was surprised by the fan base. Not sure what it's like during a down year. Did run into at least three Sioux fans! However, I've been to 13 NHL arenas and have always run into at least one Sioux fan so I wasn't totally surprised.

  4. Well, now she knows how I felt on January 24th, 2010.  It still hurts to this very day.  But if it makes her feel any better, I imagine Joe Buck had the same problem last night! :p

    I've been a Viking fan since the age of 5 and have learned to not get my hopes too high so 2009-10 didn't affect me like years prior. After the Darrin Nelson drop in the corner of the end zone in the 1987 NFC championship game followed by the 1998 gong show, and then the NY Giant beat down in 2000, I keep myself pretty grounded with low expectations. The 2010 NFC title game I metally prepared myself all week for a big letdown. The Vikings didn't disappoint...

  5. I didn't mean to hijack the girls' b-ball "Catholic" game coming up this season but it really got me thinking about the glory days of Class B sports in North Dakota, especially boys' basketball.  Going off of memory, here's my short list of old district and region teams from yester-year...

     

    Old District 29 in Region 8:

     

    Golva Tigers

    Beach Buccaneers

    Belfield Bantams

    South Heart Eagles

    New England Tigers

    New England St Mary's Saints

     

    Some great team names there in Region 8...Glen Ullin Rattlers...Rhame Pirates...Bowman Bulldogs...Hettinger Black Devils...Scranton Miners...Reeder Rockets...New Salem Holsteins...Hebron Brickmakers...Almont Eagles...Elgin Dutchmen...Taylor Redbirds...Richardton Rebels...Center Wildcats...Standing Rock Warriors...

     

    Anyone care to help organize those into districts?  Glen Ullin, Hebron, Almont, Richardton, Taylor, and New Salem were all in the same district at one time, I believe...

     

    Further SW, it was Bowman, Hettinger, Scranton, Rhame, Reeder, and ? 

     

    Anyone else want to chip in and help out?

    Mott Cardinals and a Regent Rangers I believe were in Region 8.

  6. Am I not the most hated poster in this board anymore?

    I think you've been losing your focus lately. I would like to see more gibberish in your postings. You know, the kind that someone needs to interpret for the rest of us.

  7. Maybe because it showed the typical attitude that most native North Dakotans have towards Native Americans? It was not meant as a put down to Native Americans. It was a put down to white male Americans showing their level of ignorance. That is what makes it funny.

    Welcome back Watchmaker. How long till you get banned under this username?

  8. You are incorrect, which comes as no surprise to me considering your personal track record. I have never complained about a knee on knee hit and I never will regardless of who does it to who. I am consistent in my views, which I have proven by referencing the Ovechkin/Gonchar example.

    A Penguin was injured as a result of this hit, and the guy who delivered the hit is on par with Lucic in terms of being unlikable to me. Yet I have no problem with the hit. Now go wipe the egg off your face, Uncle_Rico, because as usual you do not have a clue what you're talking about.

    Maybe if you saw it in HD you could have seen the play more clearly...
