^SHF, you obviously have absolutely no ability to look at the situation as it exists today and discern the truth. This is a team that is on the skids; a one-way elevator downward; in a death spiral; augering in. Get your head out of the clouds and start seeing things as they truly are. It's over. (now, where's that sarcasm smilie?)

Sorry to be late to this party. I never post in the football threads, but there are some things that need to be said: 1. I think NDSU would beat the living daylights out of the Sioux this year. I went to my first SU FB game in decades Saturday and was blown away by their size and speed. Coach Bohl and his staff have done a great job recruiting and the strength program is obviously paying dividends. I was amazed at SU's physical presence. 2. It is too bad that the Bison can't be included in the D-IAA playoffs, but they knew the rules before they started and the folks who are involved with the program and many of their fans are graciously accepting their fate. I don't know if they are truly the best team in the division (ask the Sioux hockey team how well their #3 ranking turned out in Anchorage last weekend. Ouch!), but they're obviously a good

Are you serving Twinkies for Thanksgiving?

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.
