Anything less is ... um ... something. Underexceptable. No. Nonexceptional. Dang, no. Intersectional. Argh. UNACCEPTABLE!

For the first time in ... oh, FOREVER, I find myself admiring the UAA coach and thinking "he's got it together".

Both Gersich and me.

I like our strategy here .... give them the insurmountable lead QUICKLY, so we have more time for the inconceivable comeback.

xfinity subscriber ... no additional charge

ESPN3 has the UND - Ole Miss match ... now 14-14 in the 5th.

If it were me ... I would go for the better hockey series. Sightseeing is hard to recommend because so much is personal preference. What do you love to do? From Denver, I might just drive up into the mountains on Saturday morning and have breakfast in Breckenridge or Frisco. In Colorado Springs, Garden of the Gods is a great place to spend a couple hours walking in an other worldly setting; the Olympic Training Center is something different and interesting, the Pikes Peak Railway is also something you just don't get to see in the flatlands. If your schedule allows it, add a day or two.

Seems like there should be some way to have the NCHC at the X and the Summit League tournament at Target Center.

FYP

(Figured this should get its own thread, separate from the rest of the Stanley Cup discussion.) Proud to call you a Fighting Sioux (forever)! Savor every minute, and enjoy the summer. Well done, young man.

Wow, the fish were really flying tonight! Nashville playing more like the team that ripped through the Western Conference. I was thinking his TOI was down, but the box score says otherwise. Of course, your non-factor observation is true. https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/pit-vs-nsh/2017/06/03/2016030413#game=2016030413,game_state=final,game_tab=stats Liking Roman Josi more, the more I see him play. Quietly effective.

Excellent observations. Would asterisk the other two forwards - Malkin and Crosby - who played at the Ralph in the 2005 World Juniors.

I am happy that Carter Rowney will get a chance to play for the Stanley Cup. Other than that.... hmm. I'll have to get back to you on that.

Quote from CBS is a bit different. I don't know which is true, just quoting a source. From the article below: Sources also told CBS Sports that the Missouri Valley intends to remain at 10 teams for the forseeable future. Most coaches and athletic directors within the league prefer the 10-team format and schedule. "No one wanted to go to 12," a source said. http://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/missouri-valley-presidents-vote-for-valpo-to-replace-wichita-state-stay-at-10-teams/

Or ... the rest of the locker room needs to ask the GM to trade him.

Agree. I think its a part of hockey culture. Just like the discussion about how nervous Paul LaDue was before the 2016 Title game and people kept needling him. It's what you do. What I found most interesting was that before his original commitment to Wi, he described considering just MN, WI and MI. Fascinating, and I bet there are a fair number of smart kids who don't look farther than that.

So what you're saying is they drew double the Big Ten (men's) final four average.

Frequent visits to Siouxsports.com will stave off the end of civilization.

The Wild have a much better chance of winning game 2. That's because most of St Louis' roster is in jail for stealing game 1.

DU up 3-1 8 minutes left

Repainting his helmet green and yellow.

Wouldn't want to risk crowd noise drowning out the Personalities.

NHL is certainly already campaigning ... Recent statements by their higher ups included quite pointedly the fan polls (not sure how scientific those were) of USA and Canada fans, which showed majority against. If players leave anyway, certainly the NHL will play the card "giving the fans what they want".
