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!

The NCAA brainiac(s) would probably "mistake" our "sieve" chant and hand motion after goals with the infamous tomahawk chop the way so many of our PC anti-nickname faculty members on campus either ignorantly or intentionally mischaracterize it. Need to have someone close by who is educated enough to inform them of what is truly going on.

Ok, I'm such a nerd... but I love this sh#t. Obviously, the big four in women's hockey are in the WCHA -- UND, Wisco, Minny and UMD. I crunched the numbers based on the official box scores listed on USCHO from week 2 to this past week 6. All programs have six home games in the books, including UND's exhibition against Manitoba in week 2 of the college hockey season. Here is the breakdown: UMD: Total attendance = 5,904 Avg. per game = 984 Minny: Total attendance = 5,136 Avg. per game = 856 Wisco: Total attendance = 11,050 Avg. per game = 1,841.6 UND: Total attendance = 11,669 Avg. per game = 1,944.8
