they need to pay for the name change somehow.

There's less and less democracy in America as well.

If so, will you retire your posting on this board Thursday as well? It'll at least provide the rest of us something to look forward to.

I personally don't like referring to the gopher players as "gay" for bleaching their hair either. That just wouldn't be fair or right in this day and age. It would be more politically correct to refer to them as "nancy boys"

can Jocelyne and Monique play for the men's team?

we just run into a hot goalie every single night!

STATE'S EXHIBIT #8 - INABILITY TO PUT THE PUCK IN THE NET

Comparing the talent of these guys with what we have today is laughable. That being said there doesn't appear to be as many "blue chippers" in college hockey as there was just a few years ago. Now more than ever it comes down to recruiting good players and developing them into great players. Neither seems to be working out for the Sioux right now.

I predict a national championship within the next 2 seasons. A.....for the womens team that is....

The "fighting sissy nannys" seems to be an accurate representation of the administration.

add collusion and you'll have it all covered.

EDIT: Not necessary.

Lets face it, it's tough to out-recruit power house teams like Bemidji St and get players to give you 60 minutes. We must have had a lot of over achievers on this squad this year to have accomplished so much. Although the odds are usually with you when you have a 2 goal lead in the 3rd period, it's really hard to develop a game plan to close those types of games out. Very few coaches have that ability, or perhaps it's just luck or lack of bounces. Ah well, good try guys.

I wouldn't be so tough on Mn for not getting in. They played the best team in the tounament tougher than anyone else. We played the worst hockey of any team in St.Paul. I for one hope they can turn things around but I will be shocked if we have a good showing on Sat.

It's been awhile since we played a solid game.

We want RIT to win out and beat Air Force in their championship game.

true, but "likely" scenarios? I also think that most likely they get in with a win over Duluth.

I'd sure hate to see that happen but at least I'd have a new team to root for when they change the name.

When Hack was quoted "We're close", I didn't think he meant "close" to utter collapse. We need a coach that can do a better job recruiting and motivate the players to get their best effort in big games. Hakstol hasn't done that since he was hired. Some replies have indicated that he's likened to Doug Woog. Hardly, although Woog never won a title, he won the WCHA several times during his tenure.

I'll go with the odds........Beavers sweep.

They're self-classifying Dave...........and I've never heard of a non-smoker polluting the air of a smoker..

I'll go with Big Joe to wear the "C". Just to see him tower over and intimidate the officials after questionable calls. Thanks for coming back Joe!

Lets face it, smokers have very little respect for non-smokers so I'm glad this passed. I really could care less if smoking is allowed in bars but the disrespect towards non-smokers does not simply exist indoors. Everyday at 5pm when I leave work the cigs are coming out before we get out the door. Then we all get to experience blown smoke in our faces all the way to the parking lot. They can't wait 2 minutes to get into their cars? Sorry but I'd never vote for anything that provides relief or priveledge to the disrespectful, no matter what their disgusting habit may be.

Good luck TJ. Now, where will we replace his goal scoring (not to mention his heart) after finishing the season with the lowest goal scoring total in more than a decade of Sioux hockey?

Different yes, but certainly linked to motivation and mental readiness which leads to performance, good or bad. Bad preparation = bad performance. The coach has responsibility and accountability for both. Not a big deal in Oct, a huge problem in April.
