[Jan. 29 Sioux Coaches Show]

Against CC, it will help having Greene and Jones back. I think our losses (Parise, Greene and Jones) were definitely bigger than theirs times two.

I love that part!!

[Ice Hockey game - Sioux fan vs. Gopher fans]

I think i'd be in with this. I'm on 20 though and not a very big guy.

[Alerus vs. the Ralph]

There would actually be less seating for a basketball game at The Alerus Center, I think.

Because for basketball at the Ralph, all seats are available due to a basketball court being rougly the same size as a hockey rink.

But if they had them at the Alerus, they would block off seating and they would actually only use one end of the arena. I know that's how they do it at FargoDome, but then again they also have wraparound seating for football at the The Dome. So who knows. I'll actually be going to my first bball game at the ralph tonight. Should be good.

But I agree, once they get a hotel attached, it really should help for conventions.

[NHL Central Scouting rankings]

I find it humerous that Zach's rank is also his number.

Maybe it's just me, though.

[NCAA 2003 Tournament odds]

First I looked at it I thought "what the hell, MN is higher than us?"

Then I realized they are 5:1, we are actually 3.5:1. I'm a fool, i guess.

[Myron Allen Eligibility]

At Sioux boosters today in Fargo, rich Glas seemed pretty confident that when UND files it's appeal on Wednesday or Thursday that the committee will show a little common sense and Myron Allen will be have his eligibility reinstated by the 5 member committee--hopefully sooner than later. He said they have already asked for Myron's class schedule so the conference call can be arranged. By the way the guest mc at todays sioux Booster meeting in Fargo was none other than Ed Schultz----just kidding!!!

That's great news. Let's just hope everything goes though. Myron seems like a really good guy that didn't do anything on purpose, he just probably thought "oh pro basketball? Awesome!" He really deserves to play, cuz from what I hear, his GPA is really good, too, meaning he's working hard on all fronts.

[WCHA what-if tool]

what the hell, here's mine:

SCSU 28 33

Denver 28 33

UMD 28 32

Mankato 28 31

MTech 28 13

AA 28 9

UW 28 9

[WCHA what-if tool]

don't worry about time. this thing is awesome. and now that I can save picks. even better.

thank you so much.

[It's not Lundblum]

Wooger has been saying it that way since he's been broadcasting.

You would think he ran into a few of them in his many years in Minn, hockey. It's not like the Sioux are the only ones with Lundbohm's on their team.

Must be something psychological. Other than that he's a pretty good color man.

[It's not Lundblum]

Am I the only one that gets annoyed when Woog says Lundblum? There's only one "L" in his name, and it's at the beginning. It's pronounced Lundbohm.

[This going tbe one hell of a series!]

Demarchi played really clean tonight. I wonder if he'll get pissed and just explode tomorrow.

[Bayda reincarnated]

I miss him, just imagine this team if he was still here.

Although I'd feel bad because there would be some other awesome player on the team that would have to be benched so Ryan could play.

[TV Fri. in GF]

In case there are still skeptics, the splash screen on channel 23 says:

"UND Sioux Vs. Minnesota Gophers 7:00 tonight"

now, does anybody know about tomorrow nights game?

edit: nevermind, it looks like they are diong a men's bball game tomorrow, so no hockey for us.

[TV Fri. in GF]

this is the best news I've heard all week. since fightingsioux.com doesn't list these games as being televised, I thought i'd be sitting by my computer listening to the webcast all night. but if I can watch it, wooooOO!

[Myron Allen Eligibility]

That's too bad. If this had happened a few years ago, who knows what would have happened to Myron. Now he has obviously matured a great deal, is married, and a father. I think I heard Rich say on WDAY last week that Myron had a 3.0 GPA last semester.

Does he have the option to stay at UND and finish his education? How will this affect his scholarship? Does the NCAA have any say in that? (I doubt it.)

I am guessing that he will be leaving and giving pro ball a shot.

I didn't get the opportunity to get over to GF to watch him live and now I regret it.

Well, if he's ineligable, his scholarship will probably get pulled. But there's nothing that's going to stop him from staying in school if he can pay for it, which would say tons about his character.

[UND Coaches Show 1/8/2003]

I'm not sure it makes much difference to Blais which line is first and which is second. On the official line charts, the Parise-Bochenski-whoever line has always been listed as the second line, even though most consider it the first line.

1st line are the one they introduce before the game. And usually it's not bochenski-parise. Then again they are probably on the ice within 1 minute, or less, anyway.

[UND Coaches Show 1/8/2003]

So what if he is a good student.. is it even worth going to college if he is only gonna be there a year?

it'll allow him to play with some players that are bigger, so he'll be a bit more ready when he hits the NHL.

[The Sioux vs. Minnesota]

For you Central and Western north dakotans... according to tvguide.com it looks like not only are they not playing the game tape delayed on saturday morning, but college basketball will be on instead of college hockey on saturday night. Looks like im going to make a trip to visit some friends in Fargo this weekend

Who's televising the games in Fargo? I can't exactly make it to the cities (from GF) for the games since of recent car expenses, but I grew up in moorhead so I could make it there to watch the games. www.fightingsioux.com doesn't list these games as going to be televised. Is it just on dish networks? If that's the case I guess I'd have to go to a place such as Buffalo Wild Wings since I'm only 20, no bars.

[Nets behind goals at the Ralph???]

The re-seating of the arena is going to happen, whether nets are installed or not. Although it is a convenient excuse, it is not the reason for the seat changes. It all goes back to the suites being built at a level where the ice is impossible to see when the crowd in the lower bowl is standing.

Too bad, they actually did screw up something when they designed the Ralph.

[Jason Blake Making Headlines]

GO SPUDS!!!!

woooo! That's right. Both of our hockey teams are doing pretty good this year.

[Nets behind goals at the Ralph???]

I'm surprised the nets aren't already there. After the lady got killed from a puck to the head last year in an NHL game, I figured since the NCAA usually has strickter rules than the NHL, we'd have nets already.

Then again, most of our shots that don't go IN the net tend to hit the post.

[Jason Blake Making Headlines]

This dude went to the same High School as I did, that's cool that's he's doing so well in the big-leagues (or is that term reserved for baseball?)

[A look at UND's schedule]

Here's what I came up with:

UND 28 48

CC 28 46

SCSU 28 34

UMN 28 32

UMD 28 30

Denver 28 29

Mankato 28 26

UW 28 18

MTech 28 10

AA 28 7

NOTE: I'm probably WAYYYY off, but it was fun nonetheless.

Will this get updated as the weeks pass, in order to take off games already played and put those points in permanantly?

[BBall vs. USD]

I'm guessing the rules says that once a call is made it can't be reversed. Although this kind of call should be able to be reversed.
