If I ever get my own sports talk show I'm stealing one of Rocky's lines: [DreamSequence] ...that puts another show in the books...I'd like to thank tonight's guests, Fighting Sioux hockey head coach Dave Hakstol [applause], Minnesota Twins manager Ron Gardenhire [applause], and tennis star Maria Sharapova [wild applause] and "REMEMBER, THE SCOREBOARD HAS NEVER AND WILL NEVER TELL US HOW MUCH WE LOVE YOU!". GOODNIGHT, AND SEE YA NEXT TIME! [insert music here...I'm open to suggestions] [/DreamSequence]

God bless whoever put that up! Catch it while you can, I think NFL Films gets kind of wiggy about this stuff.

Maybe he'll get a shot against the U-18 team? Anyway, welcome to the Sioux, Tate! Any relation to Roger?

At least they don't have any film on us. ;)

http://www.baseball-reference.com/managers/gardero01.shtml Baseball economics being what they are, I say this isn't too bad. The Twins will have their hands full keeping Mauer around...they won't be in the running for the big name free agents anytime soon. Six out of eight seasons they've been in contention in September. Two of those teams were probably good enough to win the whole thing.

The deadline is thirty days out and it's quiet as a church mouse. What gives?

okay Zach Jones numbers then...close enough.

Those are goon numbers....no offense Goon.

Hope everyone had a great time last night, I couldn't make it unfortunately. IMO the Twins organization does more with less than the other three sports franchises in town, and it's not even close. Can't wait until outdoor baseball next spring!

The banner ad said "North Dakota at South Dakota", but it's since been fixed.

Here are the new 3rd jerseys. http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_dadd...?urn=nhl,184997

XM Radio 204 (NHL Home Ice) will have an hour devoted to the Wild today from 4-5 pm central. Head Coach Todd Richards will be a live guest at 4:05.

That's fulfilling a previous obligation to SHSU made during the Great West days. I really can't say as I blame him it's the cash cow of your athletic department and I'd want six home dates every season too.

2013 & 14 are probably the next shot, with the twelve game seasons. I don't see Taylor willing to go with only five home dates, and I can't see Faison signing up for a one-game shot in the Fargodome.

They extended the championship game to the eve of the BCS National Championship, so I don't believe this to be correct, there will be 12-game schedules.

With Georgia State and ODU coming online, 14 teams is just way too many.

We should know by end of business tomorrow as classes start Monday.

...or Danny Mattson?

I agree I think your 26 breakdown is ideal. But that's where Hak earns his money I guess.

Hakstol seems to like to keep it at 25.

Thanks for the tip Sioux83 and keep the info coming!

Correct, and the Bison poster was correct who pointed out that nobody will be taking over their barn anymore for football now that the new digs are open.
