First even-strength goal: Duncan First frosh goal: Vandevelde First penalty: Radke First save: Lamoreaux First blocked shot: Bina First power play goal: Oshie First short-handed goal: Toews First.... DROP THE FREAKIN' PUCK ALREADY!!!

If I recall, he suffered a bad neck injury during his senior year of baseball at Cavalier, so I think you're spot on.

Obviously, none of us could possibly know what's going on with those deliberations as we speak. But if I were a betting man, I'd say that there are one or two jurors that don't have the stomach to impose a death sentence. I hope I'm wrong.

Thanks for (almost) all the pics!

It's in the jury's hands now. God be with them. http://www.startribune.com/10086/story/687112.html

Zach or Janet?

What a downer, if true. This thing is hitting on all eight cylinders right now. Get healthy, Reed. Look forward to seeing you out there again soon. Thanks! Now I'll be humming REO Speedwagon all day.

I agree with your point that public school is place for "reading, writing, 'rithmetic", PERIOD. That being said, there are plenty of public school districts out there (I can't speak to yours) that are pushing a social agenda in the name of diversity or tolerance, that is far more harmful to a kid than anything in a picture bible. Again, just my opinion.

I don't think I'd be too pleased if I were them. That sounds like a huge can of worms that could blow open.

Sorry, Dave. That was a stupid comment.

Check. Dave, I get the feeling you're a Packers fan. A fan of the green and yellow. That doesn't make you a closet Bison fan, does it?

Packers "advance" to 0-2.

Sounds like UND could use some consulting help.

Madden never gushed about Montana or Aikman like he did about *Farve. Even if he had, Montana has five rings (edit: Four, Young got the other one) and Aikman has three, versus *Farve's one. *spelling incorrect.

Vikings win in OT, 16-13. The fake field goal was a thing of beauty. How refreshing to have NFL caliber coaching in MN again.

That's a damn shame. It sounded like a fun new tradition that was starting up.

What was wrong with letting you guys camp out?

That's why this needs to be fought in the courts. Either all the nicknames go, or none of them go. It smacks of blackmail. I know that's not the PC thing to say, but that's how I feel about it.

Toews-Oshie will be this generation's Hrkac-Joyce.

The NCAA manual seems ambiguous on this, but you guys have been looking at this longer than me. If you say NDSU was a DI counter, than I buy it (I hope this is the case). That would lock up the GW for '08. Look forward to getting the rivalry cranked up again!

So it seems to me that a Great West bid would secure five DI games in 2008. UND would need to cobble together one more DI game to be a counter. Two would probably be better, in case someone flakes out at the last minute for a IA guarantee game. But the way I read the NCAA manual, UND couldn't be a counter until 2009, year two of the reclassification. Where does the notion come in that you can be a counter in year one? I hope that's right, but that's not the way I read it.

Pop quiz: How many Carlson School of Management students does it take to screw in a light bulb: A. None...it's a second year course. B. None...they live at home, mommy and daddy take care of the lights. C. Twelve...two to screw it in, ten to find an ugly enough lamp shade to match their school colors.

Not that anyone's asking, but count me in the camp that wishes zero success for either program.

Yes, great board. Keep doing what you're doing, Jim. I think I speak for many by saying Siouxsports.com is really less of a discussion forum, and more of an addiction. MUST.....GET BACK......TO WORK NOW...
