The topic has huge ramifications on the energy industry in North Dakota and is a valid topic of conversation in the Community forum , IMO. And the beauty of it is that you can continue to get Fighting Sioux coverage in the sports forums without having to click the mouse button on Cap and Trade.

That is incorrect. The CCHA uses rivalry pairings, and the clusters are created each season by putting two pairings together across three clusters. The clustering rotates every year creating a five-year cycle. I hope that was clearer than mud.

The net result of it will be that rivals will be travelling to your rink 3 out of every 5 years, instead of 3 out of 4. But it's what needed to be done to prevent further contraction of college hockey.

It passed 219-212.

Will be interesting for the Wild to see if Little Fletcher wheels and deals tonight.

Boehner is about half way through reading the 300 page amendment....and he's got unlimited floor time. This could be a late one.

I would love to see them switch it up as well, the St.Paul scene is growing very stale IMO. But realistically I think the tournament is locked down in St.Paul for a long time.

This song meant is was a fall Monday night, and time for Dale McCabe and Jerry Olson to hash over some Sioux football for the next half hour.

Parise named to All-Star Team

Datsyuk over Parise, St.Louis for Lady Byng.

They built it....be we own it.

You have nothing credible to add to this conversation, so run along.

From reading that link it sounds like they do.

I think the clusters would change every year. Here's how I think the pairs will shake out...it's worth what you paid for it. UND-BSU UM-UW DU-CC UNO-UAA MTU-UMD SCSU-MSUM I'm speculating on the UNO-UAA pairing based on the fact that they are paired with UAF currently, so they are prepared to handle it from a travel spend run-rate perspective.

Here is what I think we're in for, which is placing rivalry pairs into clusters and probably rotating them every so often. http://www.puckhead.lunarpages.com/Hockey2...ClusterInfo.htm

It's three clusters of four teams each. Home-and-home with each team in your cluster gives your twelve. Two games with each team in the other two clusters makes sixteen more, for a total of 28. As to who is clustered together? That's what politics and message boards are for!

I've been on board for about two and a half years and have been happy for the most part. They did sneak a $2 per radio price increase in, as well as wanting $3 more a month for online access, which I told them to forget it. And now we have DJ's that won't shut up since the merger. To get the NFL games is another $4/month for "Best of Sirius". With all that said, I'd never go back to commercial radio, especially in the vehicles.

REA Hockey Academy

Given the relative economic opportunities of the two areas, these findings don't surprise me.

Maybe he'll hit up nephew for an endowed scholarship?

Here is my take away from last night. Unless Datsyuk comes down with food poisoning or is otherwise ill, this thing's over in six.

Day football is great on HD too. You can see the blades of grass.
