And while were at it, bus the students there and then ankle chain them to their seats so they can't leave at halftime for whatever more-important gad they've got going on at 2:30 p.m. on a Saturday afternoon.

Was at the game, too. The assessments posted so far are spot on. Sioux women are closing the gap, though. Last year, they lost to this same team by 40. Tonight they cut it by more than half. They are young... good recruits coming in next year. Life goes on.

Lammy twins had a solid day in the 4-Nations tourney today in Sweden, beating the hometeam 8 to zilch. MLK had 2 G and a helper and JoLam had 1 G and 2 assists ( I believe, something like that). Canada took care of Finland 5-0 in the first game.

Wholeheartedly agree.

Thanks for passing along the tweet. Sounds a little more encouraging.

What is R.J. Magill's status for this weekend? We've been playing without him; if he's back.... maybe it might all be a wash, if he is healthy enough to compete.

I'm being told (by one person in the know, not a comphrehensive survey, by any means) that Dahl's amendment, at least initially, is being viewed as "acceptable" by UND -- kind of a compromise to appease the hardliners in the Legislature. The administration appears to be more thrilled that the bill came out of committees with a unanimous recommendation to repeal.

I take everything that rag prints with a huge chunk of salt. Kate B. is definitely dogged and does some very comprehensive reporting, with some slanting here and there to make her editors, Rob and Scotty, happy, but anything that is associated with Rob Port isn't exactly a bastion of objective journalism. He's got a bit of an ax to grind. Then again, in today's world, what medium is truly objective? Pick your side and drink the Kool-aid, I guess. What I don't get is the counterintuitiveness of this whole cost issue. The logic just doesn't compute. If UND admin is so hell bent on getting rid of the nickname just because they despise it, as many claim, wouldn't they lowball these cost figures as much as possible to make it more palatable to those who don't have any other kind of dog in the fight. Enlighten me, please!

Of course you should....it's the university that you love, right?

Utah Valley is becoming a short-term rival for us this year in a lot of sports.

After perusing the link, I noticed that AC is rated 46 and UND is 65.... this after UND beat them head to head pretty convincinlgy this year. I think there might have been some confusion with the numbers and the schools most likely were mixed up. Someone alert Kolpack.

Oh poor, baby. Grow some skin and consider the source! Thanks for your interest, though.

Then what good would message boards be?

Oh, you mean the old "butfootball" response.

Double ouch!

Yeah, that one.

Was there an exhibition college basketball game last night involving two regional teams down south? Did anyone catch the final score?

Who died and made you resident bonehead?

I think it is refreshing to hear us go back and forth about reasons why we didn't win by more than 20 instead of debating and lamenting why we lost to teams like this, as we did in past seasons.

I had a hunch you despised UND and only loved the name; now it's confirmed.

Never thought I'd see the day that Fetch and the like would be using Chuck Haga and the Herald as an example for keeping the name.

With a name like "Labatt," I like him already! I'm getting thirsty.

This is great news! Sounds like a solid recruit on the field and in the classroom. An awesome get for UND academically and athletically. Thanks for the updates on Mollberg and the other NW Minn. recruits.

Totally agree with this. J. Kolpack, Terry V. and the Fargo-Sioux Falls media corridor have gotten so much wrong about UND it's disgraceful; especially the Douple/Kelley pseudo drama.

All I can say to that is: Wow!
