What's not to like about the Woog?

I don't get why people think that Dubay is such of gopher homer. If Sid is a 10 on the Homer scale, Puffy is about a four. He'll tell you when the gophs are sucking it up. He'll also give tons of credit to UND when credit is due. And unlike Sid, Puffy won't predict a gopher sweep for this coming weekend. Unless the gophers play their best game of the year tonight, I can almost guarantee that Dubay will say that the gophers will be lucky to come away with one point next weekend.

I'm surprised by the Puffs take on the Sioux. Usually he has nothing but love for the Green and White. Also surprised by his take on the goofs securing home ice. Seems that he's been down on them all year, and looking ahead in their schedule; UW tonight, UND at home, DU on the road, and Wisco back home...that's not an easy schedule for any team, especially for a team that's not on top of their game. Dubay can say what he wants about JPL, but I'm pretty sure that he'd trade Kangas and Frazee for him.

Selling two tickets in upper bowl, section 306 (Sioux's offensive zone for periods 1 and 3) for Saturday night against AA. I'll let them go for $40 for the pair. Need to be picked up in Fargo.

I always thought that the right side was Duncan's side. His "spot" has definitely been from the right side. He never misses from his "spot." I'm calling Shenanigans that Duncs side is the left side. You must be talking about the goalies left side

I think the "barrel" when it comes to refs from the WCHA, is a very shallow one. It's probably more of kids wading pool than a barrel.

Time to hand over your "man card..." I'll need to cut a corner off from it;)

And here's to hoping that Frazee is always in net for the shootout.

Haven't had the misfortune of listening to Dakota Huseby yet...can I get her signal in Fargo? She kind of sounds like Sandy Buttweiler (sp) to me (local 790, maybe 970 in Fargo host). She actually hosts a "round table" discussion with Jack Sandy. If there's one person who in unqualified to host a round table discussion, it's her. "What's your favorite part of a BLT?" should not be round table discussion. I can't change the station fast enough when she's on. I was on the road a couple of years ago, Sandy's program came on and I was having trouble with my car radio: couldn't turn the station, couldn't turn it off, and when I tried to turn down the volume it only got louder...anyways, I was faced with the decision of turning into a bridge enbunkment, or listening to Sandy's show.

Heard about this (Michigan conceal carry permits up 600%-but crime down) on the radio yesterday coming home, and made me think about this thread... http://dad29.blogspot.com/2008/01/michigan...less-crime.html

I thought I could browse through all of the "oshie suspended" posts without actually feeling the urge to give my two cents... I don't mean to pick on sioupermex, it just happened that I couldn't go on after reading his post without giving my opinion; 1st of all, please don't try to compare Okposo's leaving to Oshie's arrest. Not even in the same category. To compare the two is asinine. Secondly, (unless it's covered later on in this thread), we don't even know what he was arrested for. A disorderly conduct could be any number of things. Sometimes (believe me), the cops may arrest you when you have done nothing wrong. So to call it major boner before we know the facts is going a little overboard. If he were to have gotten a DUI, that'd be a different story. Do you seriously expect Oshie to go back to his apt after the games and go to bed. Of course he's going to party a little bit. BFD.

I'm on the fence about Greico...realistically, how much playing time was he going to get this year, or next year, or the year after (If he would have been one of three goalies on the roster instead of two, that'd be a different story). I don't think Okposo's leaving can be compared at all to Greico leaving. Greico needs to get time between the posts to move on to the next level...Okposo had to sign on the dotted line to move on to the next level. Let's face it, most of UND's and UMtc players didn't sign on with their teams to get a free education. LMO...I was right clicking to get rid of the red line under Okposo's name, and the word from the dictionary my right clicker magic speller thingy came up with was "stinkpot."

Holy Crap! I can't believe how many people have become infected by the PC disease (pretty soon I suppose we won't keep track of the score and just play for fun). Big deal if the PA announcer brought up Holy Cross. If it were up to me, before Friday's game, during the usual video montage, I would have rolled down a 50' screen right behind Lammy's goal (so that the gopher's players could see it), and would have shown the highlights from the HC vs. UMTC game;)

Other things that lack class...jersey popping. I could hear the PA announcer on TV announce that Holy Cross was off for the night (I definitely laughed). Not sure if it was the Woog or Maz, but one or the other commented something about not taking enjoyment out of other's misfortunes. Would have preferred to have watched the Fighting Sioux SN, but compared to the clowns that do the Wisco games, Woogy and the Maz aren't too bad.

For that much money you could get door to door taxi cab service from your car to the Ralph (and back) for the season, and probably a "happy ending" with each ride;)

I'm pretty sure a "parking pass" will cost you about $500. Actually I'm not really sure how much $$$, I did happen to see the prices for all of the different levels of season tickets a couple of weeks ago, but I don't remember how much$$$. What I do know is that they probably wont just sell/rent/lease you a spot. I think there'd be too many pissed off club level ticket holders if they found out the Ralph was having a sale on empty parking spots. You'll probably just have to hoof it like the rest of us poor fans;)

Strike what I said about almost preferring the Maz and Woog to the Badgers announcers on FSN. Just got a chance to see the youtube video (btw, was that a recording of the TV screen?), I must have switched on the radio when the "fight" started. The one guy from FSN is almost as big of a Sid as Sid.

Come on, Shepard was standing 5 feet away when he called it, it had to have been a charge

Play was continuing, i.e. there wasn't a delayed penalty called on the Badgers.

Oh yeah, they were definitely complimentary. They'd probably be the first two to admit that the Badgers were lucky to walk away with two points for the weekend.

How disappointing is it now that we don't have a home series with the Badgers? That would have been fun!

I did hear him say it, but I thought I was hearing things:)

Yeah, too bad I couldn't have the radio on (seven second delay with the TV) instead of the homers that were covering the game on FSN. Don't remember the older guys name, but he refused to pronunciate Vande's name correctly. His partner could say it, the guy on the PA at the Kohl could say it, but this guy kept on saying VandeVeld. Also, couldn't make up his mind if it was Jenoway, of Genoway. Almost prefer the Maz and Wooger. Also, Props to the guys/gals that do the home games for FSSN. It's amazing what a good job they do at producing the games. And of course, another thumbs down for Derek Shepard for his typical two nights of reffing. When will the insanity end?

I love the black jersey! I predict we'll see them in December when the goofs come to town.

What a guy!
