  1. Conclusive from a camera 200 feet away? Apparently enough for the Zebras and ESPN ratings if BU is televised.
  2. Mine is working ok. By no means a great quality picture but it'll do
  3. Jim Archibald's girlfriend MIGHT have helped with the Badger smuggling. Or someone told me she did ;o)
  4. Barry Melrose: "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt. " - Abraham Lincoln
  5. My buddy's 13 yr old son just got warned by the rent-a-cops for putting $$ in between the glass. Just like we did in 'The Farce' years. Apparently that is offensive to the other teams under the code of conduct. Personally I think it's offensive that the rent-a-cops have nothing better to do than go overboard in enforcing the code of conduct. Which is exactly what I expected would happen.
  6. Those that have a problem with people standing at a hockey game need to put on their figure skates and go catch an orchestra recital at The Fritz, and stay FAR FAR away from the REA. There was no need to institute a formal code of conduct if all they wanted to do was curb the student section from "F-the Gophers" cheers. That could easily have been accomplished without instituting a formal code of conduct. To quote the legendary Virg Foss in today's GF Herald: "But to ask fans not to cheer against the opponent is unacceptable. What’s wrong with the “sieve, sieve” chant directed at an opposing goalie? It’s a part of hockey everywhere, in every rink. Besides, if Ralph Engelstad Arena officials want to climb aboard in this directive, they need to tone down their videos which can be as disrespectful of opponents as any chant." http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/arti...8/group/Sports/ As always, Virg eloquently points out the truth, and in this case, the hypocrisy of this policy. The idea of "after game" reporting of "inappropriate" fan behavior seems more like they want to turn The Temple of Hockey into an Elementary School with teachers encouraging tattle tale behavior. I have no problem with them wanting to eliminate profanity laced cheers such as what happened at the Gopher series. However, I have a huge problem with a bunch of 'Administrators' on a power trip instituting a ridiculous, overbearing policy in an obvious attempt to protect their little feifdom. The policy states "Fans shall not interfere unduly with anyone else's right and opportunity to enjoy the event." Which means, if the person next to me feels that booing a poor call by a referee, or booing the other team is 'inappropriate behavior' they can report me to Captain Power Trip and his army of Lieutenants? Apparently Brian Faison and the others responsible for implementing the code of conduct are unable to comprehend the term 'Home Ice Advantage.' It's a shame we have such narrow minded people in charge.
  7. naw. The Yankees win once in a while. The Gophers have to hold a tournament to get an undeserved #1 seed and STILL won't win.
