There are times in one's life when the only true measure of wealth is the numbering of one's friends. This, apparently, is not one of those times. Oh, and THETRIOUXPER, I don't have a jealous bone in my body.

Um, okay. Friday? You know where.

I hope you are not implying that I have!!!!

It's over. Sell your game-worn sweaters. Get rid of your green face paint. Dump your season tickets while there's still a market: some idiot corporate-type will buy them. They don't realize they're watching a pathetically over-rated team of prima donnas and wasted draft picks. CC will kick azz this weekend. The Sioux will have a hard time beating the U-18s in two weeks. Lighten up everyone...it's early. I think they'll get things straightened out.

Wow, you must be at least as old as I am!!!!

yeah, and my video feed just switched to a snakey looking 70s dude and two chicks...Alaskan porn maybe. (No, I guess there'd be a moose in it too.)

Know anyone who wants to be set up with this hunk? <<<<

On what do you base this hunch?

NCAA allows 18 scholarships; how those are split among the players is up to the coach and the university.

Mason doesn't have the nerve to call a penalty shot.

Wow! Anyone hear the USHL guy talking about LaPoint! Major praise. Says he's going to step right in at UND and play well.

You know me...why you even gotta ask that question.

(Ducking) I don't disagree about the Ralph sometimes sounding like a morgue. But I think you can't have it both ways. This board is filled with derisive comments about the Mankato fans' "ole, ole" chant as well as the "M-I-N-N-E-..." (well you get it) cheer in those rinks. Yet it is precisely that kind of non-profane, non-abusive crowd noise that will most likely involve old people (like me) and the "corporate" pukes so many here like to harp on. I'm a grey-haired (shut up TRIOUXPER!) grandfather who thinks the "sieve" thing is a little nasty, and really only "involves" the crowd at (unfortunately) limited times during the game. I certainly am not going to take part in profane or personally hurtful cheers. There is something haunting and intimidating about the Gopher fans' M-I-N-N-etc. cheer. Anyone who attended the World Juniors at The Ralph knows the Canadians (at least) would break out in group cheers or songs at just about any moment during a game. I get the sense that many Fighting Sioux fans have relegated these cheers to the "beneath us" or too corny category, and the atmosphere at The Ralph suffers for that arrogance. Flame away.

I think Katie would whup Joe's a$$! Or if things got tense she'd just call in her hubby and bro-in-law to do her light work.

Just now? Diggler, you're slipping man.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh...now everything is better. Thanks PCM.

Missing my coach's show recap.

As much as I'd love to see Cichy in a Fighting Sioux sweater, I just don't see it. This kid has been pegged for major junior for as long as I've known of him. I'll believe it when I see him buying books at Barnes & Noble. (To show you how old I am, I almost wrote "the Union". )

Pretty nice performance by a roller hockey player from Georgia.

Miller for Hobey!

never mind...

Not to take anything away from TheTriouxper, but I believe Al Gore invented the concept.

I'm in agreement with thetriouxper here. Although until JT makes it back to the lineup (and until Hak asks for our input on his lines ) all this talk is just that...talk.

Strangely, mullets were not as prevalent as I'd expected. Lots and lots of black t-shirts and buzz cuts, though. And a surprising number of couples comprised of skinny men and obese women.

I hate to admit that I was at the above-mentioned concert Saturday. And from a cursory glance around the dome, there weren't too many students in attendance; neither current nor former students; of any institute of higher learning.
