If you want HD, "national exposure" isn't the right argument to make. Right now, this season, Fox College Sports is the extent of the national coverage (until any possible national tournament appearance). FCS does not broadcast their three channels (Atlantic, Central, Pacific) in HD. Starting next season with CBS College Sports, that IS broadcast in HD so then it will be beneficial to have the capabilites. As Smoggy said, we would probably be more likely to have games on if CBS doesn't have to haul their equipment to Grand Forks just to show the game. Maybe that will be the kick in the pants necessary to get the infrastructure updated.

The repeal of the Homestead Exemption doesn't affect your property taxes at all. It will effectively raise your adjusted gross income for your 2012 taxes, which are the ones due in April 2013. That means it's over a year before we actually pay for this repeal. At least that's how I understand it.

Anybody care to explain what's so bad about these Oregon uniforms? I've got the Rose Bowl on right now and I think they look pretty nice.

What'd ya say, three penalties they didn't call?

I rarely ever question a coach's decision, but WHY did Blais take his timeout there? Team USA was steamrolling for a minute there after the shootout save and he let the Czech's back into it by giving them time to regroup. And look what happened....Czech's lead 3-2 now with 7:00 left

Just over two minutes into the game against Czech and Forbort got checked awkwardly into the boards. He just was helped off into the locker room and Team USA is now on a 5-minute major. Hopefully he's not hurt too bad.

The offense doesn't seem to be clicking. Passes aren't as crisp as on Monday, but that's probably because the defense here is much better so they're having to force things a bit more. I wonder why Gibson is in net today instead of Campbell. End of the 2nd period, Finland leads 1-0

Now this game is looking like I expected it to look.

Am I ready!? I made sure to take off the appropriate days from work to make sure I don't miss any games. This is my second favorite hockey week of the year. (Second only to the week of the WCHA first round, Minnesota State High School Hockey Tournament, Final Five)

Are there plans for a change in URL/title for this website?

As far as I know (which, admittedly, is very little regarding the Target Center) the only hockey they've ever hosted is the Minnesota State High School tournament in 1999 and 2000. Beginning in 2001 when the X opened, the tournmanet moved there.

I can't say I disagree with you on that, but if you're posting certain things just to get a rise out of people and to see their reaction, that is the definition of a message board troll.

You can't honestly think you weren't going to blasted for posting that you are cheering for the Bison, did you? Why not just defuse it right off the bat by saying why you're cheering for them? There was nothing in your post that even implied there was a "whole story" so how could Siouxperfan have even known he should be waiting for more?

CenturyLink Center. Seats 16,680 for hockey. But I think if it's going to be held at a school's home rink then it should rotate between schools.

With teams in Ohio and Michigan, and the two teams in Colorado, it still leaves the Twin Cities as very central location. I think they're either going to have to go with something around here (TC) or have it rotating at various schools' venues.

I missed the first two periods, what happened at the end of the 2nd that caused the Russian player to get booted?

Sioux vs. St Cloud State. Oct 4th, 2003 The Sioux were trailing 28-3 at halftime of Military Appreciation Day and the majority of the crowd had filed out. They're the ones who missed out, though. The Sioux came back to win 29-28 on a last second 50+ yard field goal.

This is definitely where the conference realignment will pay off. With the new conferences, they're smaller so it leaves room for new teams to start up and have a place to play. The way the conferences were before there wasn't really any room for anybody to move up.

Instead of getting all worked up about it, why not just ignore it and feel sorry for them if this is what they focus on leading up to a national semi-final game that isn't even against us.

Here's what Jim said about it a couple weeks ago: http://forum.siouxsports.com/topic/16285-sioux-uaa/page__st__140__p__529347#entry529347

Hard to feel good about that when we've played two more games than they have.

Good passing and puck movement on the power play....finally. Unfortunately, no goal resulted.

So we ended up on the good end of this call, but what's with the back ref calling so many penalties now? There was another ref that was only 15 feet from the penalty and he didn't call it.

With as obvious as that kneeing attempt was, that should be a five-minute penalty.
