farce poobah

Thinking of other college color commentators, Woog is head and shoulders the best I've heard. Besides, at least once a game he says something that Frank feels compelled to explain to the whole world. PS He IS a nice guy, I agree with the comments above.

I hope Gene accepts a big chunk of blame for his repeated substitutions of 5-in-5-out in the first half. We were up 12 when he had his first tantrum and the rest of the half they beat us. I like the potential of some of the new adds.

Personally, I like the white better, but it needs a higher percentage of old people (my section s#$%ed). I think we should do it again - I like the whole idea, green one night and white the next. It adds to the whole unity thing.... Thanks to those who got this off the ground.

Malone is a keeper. He will play the system, take the body, knock in garbage goals, maybe even some one-timers although most of what I've seen is warmups not game action. Nice to see him get some reward for hard work.

Any thread can be improved with an Animal House reference. Two is even better. To the earlier question, I have no idea who's remodeling.

"They took the bar!!! The whole da#$ bar!!!"

We were always respectful (after the game). Especially to the referees (after the games and once we discovered their post game hang out). Kermit was treated well while he hung out with the Farce. He said he was abused while at Michigan, though. Psychological scars.

Depends on the royalties, and whether the nickname is used respectfully.

If Campion is reffing, I gotta go with the Wooger. No way can Blais kill off 20 powerplays.

Gwozdecky? or Gophers?

Hakstol, without naming names, credits guys who were banged up with going out there and gritting through it. Oshie, maybe Zajac, maybe others ?...

Duncan with the nice open-ice check on Trotter!

... if we keep improving.

We look to have good legs tonight. DU looks slow by comparison, and the penalties we're drawing are because we're flying by ...

In a related story, it just got really windy here in the Twin Cities.

Vent. Vent. Vent. Thanks, I needed that.

Sorry I don't have it ... for games you really want, hdhockey.tv has, albeit a bit pricey.

How about a an old fashioned star spangled banner at Chicago Stadium - 1991, Casey vs. Belfour: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sssDkJTUlnY...feature=related Or the NHL all-star game that year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvpxVE_kQXg

Whatever you say Ty. (Any thread can be improved with a Caddyshack reference.)

By March, Minnesota will be good. For now, its fun to see. UAA is no slouches, hard-working lunch-pail guys that battle for 60 minutes. They will rack up some good wins before this year is out.

I think someone should send Bucky some freaking shin pads.
