Actually, they are electrical. But they need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 gigawatts...

It was totally disgusting. I distinctly remember yelling "we can't lose to a bunch of g** d*** surfers" at the top of my lungs. Not very Christmasy of me. 1986-87 was a year that we started with some big questions. Goaltending for one. Belfour was not the most-highly touted recruit ever, at the time, but was a find if there ever was one. (I'd be interested in the story of how he got to UND if anyone knows it.) Another question mark was the tragic loss of a first-round draft choice in the summer time, following the death of Bemidji's George Pelawa. I only ever saw him on TV at the MN state high school tournament. While he was just about the fastest and biggest guy on skates there, what I was impressed with was his hands and his agility (including several times when he could have laid out a smaller guy but chose not to). RIP. Another question mark was the return of Tony Hrkac. He'd scored 54 points 2 years earlier but had left for the Canadian National Team (National Junior Team?) and was returning. We knew he was talented and great puck skills, but the open questions were commitment and chemistry.

BU and UAA tied after 2.

Under-rated! [clap clap clapclapclap]

Audio is free, but you have to register ...

UND can win, even when the game is played under Campion Rules.

To their credit, most of the crew at GPL says it was homer reffing ...

I wish we were playing Minnesota in October this year.

BC lost on purpose so they could play Minnesota tomorrow.

My broadcast (of hockey anyway) has been good. No interrupts.

Only days after winning gold in Lake Placid. In between, my buddies and I ran into him at the Red Pepper. It was a Natural Hat Trick.

I'll check my archives. If I still have it, it would be VHS.

The Oshie can score without even shooting.

I wouldn't apologize to anyone for continuing to play the game with 1:08 left. Put another way, if the Sioux just take a knee on 4th down, the game is not over. WWU might very well have scored, gotten the onside, and scored again. Its only "running up the score" when the game is out of reach, and when the opponent is not competitive. This was no hapless opponent we were playing. WWU is a pretty good team that hung up 42 points on us.

Hmmm.... who to root for, who to root for... If you can get the Public Address announcer to refer to them as North Dakota Agricultural College, I would make it worth his while ...

A gopher fan.... I can smell them around here ...

Chris Porter seeing some ice time with St Louis tonight ... 12 shifts, couple hits, didn't figure in the scoring.

The first Mariucci sellout? Not Wisconsin, but North Dakota.

THAT whole place is hostile and abusive.

Ryan Duncan CAN find The Spot, even in a pool.

I was born in Northwood, and have a lot of relatives and friends living there. Thankfully, for an EF3 or EF4 tornado, loss of life and injuries seem to be about as good as can be feared for a storm of that magnitude. Saw some pix of a family house and the really annoying thing is that mud blew into everything. Water dries up, trees can be chainsawed but mud has to be scraped off ... long process. Once they open up the town, and for a while now, there will be need for cleanup help. Maybe Wednesday?
