Ha! Mafiaman, I've got a similar story. Saturday night - February 1991 - Gophers are playing at Northern Michigan. My buddy is coming up to my house to watch the game. Earlier that week, he had broken up with his longtime girlfriend. That morning, his car had been broken into. He drove up with no rear windshield. Buddy: God, it's been a horrible week. A gopher win would sure be great. How about you be nice and cheer for the gophs tonight. Me: No. We were both UM students at the time. Sorry about staying off-topic here.

Have 6 available for both nights. Lower bowl, center ice, 8 rows up from Sioux bench. Asking $22.50/each. Please PM me. edit - Saturday night gone; 4 left for Friday. edit - Friday night gone

The year was 1995-96. First round of WCHA playoffs. Wisco 6-5 (OT) on Friday and 5-4 (2OT) on Saturday. I think it was the Saturday game that was decided by a dump-in goal from the red line or further. Toby Kvalevog was goalie.

Just received these back from the people who were supposed to use them. 6 available - $20 each OBO. Great seats - 8 rows up from behind Sioux bench.

Gone.

All are gone. Thanks!

Gone.

Have 4, possibly 6, tickets available. About 9 rows up, behind Sioux bench. $15/each or best offer.

Knowlegis did congressional power rankings based on power and ability to be effective in 2005. Pomeroy ranked 332 out of 437. Of the 53 house members first elected in 1992 and still in office, Pomeroy ranked 46. Of the 205 Democrats, Earl ranked 105. He only got points for "position", nothing for "influence" or "legislation". But even for position, he ranked 312 out of 437. I don't know if these rankings have any validity or not, but they're interesting.

Keep in mind that a 28-person suite does not have 28 seats, it will have 18-20 regular seats and 8-10 bar stools. Because of that, it is tough to add extra people to the suite and give them a good view of the ice. I wouldn't add more than 5-7 people unless some of those people have no interest in watching the game. While you can't bring your own food and drinks, you can bring food purchased from concession stands up to the suite level. To use your credit up I wouldn't bother with the standard fare that catering offers, it is pretty pricey; I would focus instead on the offerings from Subway and Dominos, which are a better value. Also, the suite level concourse has a couple of cash bars, where you can get all sorts of mixed drinks. Therefore, you can use your credit on beer. For your $500, you can get (based on 2005-06 prices): 5 cases domestic beer or flavored beer 3 Subway sandwich platters (45 4" subs) or a 6' party sub 2 Dominos specialty pizzas 2 Dominos one topping pizzas 1 pound of potato chips

Forecast for Saturday morning is low to mid 50s with light rain and light easterly winds. Subject to change, of course. I'm up for a beer, Friday nite or post race.

I'm running the half as well. I ran the full last year and was very impressed with how well organized it was.

I don't see how this changes anything in the short term, unless it prompts the NCAA to delay its decision on UND's appeal. It is a positive step towards obtaining the written support of the Tribal Council though. Good news.

Herald reports this morning that both Woosters are leaving. Woosters to leave UND

I believe it was stated on another thread that he is not draft eligible. Too old.

In their March report, ISS had Forney at #13, same as in February. He wasn't in their top 15 before that. I haven't seen anything more current than that. link Obviously, ISS thinks much more highly of him than CSS, but I don't see how you can say his stock is dropping because of that.

That is funny. "We have so much respect for Coach Rivard that we choose to remain anonymous when we trash her abilities in the student newspaper". I don't like this however, I don't know the situation. Maybe this was necessary.

I became a Sioux hockey fan in 1976-77 (12 yo at the time), although I had been to games before that. My favorite player that year was Dave Colborne. He was my favorite because I remember going to a game and a bunch of students in the top row of the student section had taken their shirts off and had C-O-L-B-O-R-N-E spelled on their chests. I figured any player than could garner that was worthy of praise. The Sioux started strong that year and there was quite a bit of buzz about them, especially since they had been so dismal before that. They started out 10-2 and in first place in the WCHA. Rube* had recruited a strong bunch of forwards that year: Rick Zaparniuk, Erwin Martens, Mark Taylor, and Colborne; along with defenseman Brad Cox. I think that Zaparniuk was centering Taylor and Colborne on an all-freshman line and they were tearing things up. I remember Virg(?) writing a column on what name the line should have - I think he settled on the "Zap" line. Then Colborne was ruled ineligible or something; anyway, he left the team. The Sioux fell apart. I was so disappointed, heart-broken really. I remember going to games late in the year with the hope the team to recapture the spark they had at the start and being anxious for next year as soon as the season ended. So, despite a 19-19 record and no postseason, 1976-77 remains my favorite moment in Sioux hockey. I know I became Sioux hockey fan that year. And of course, there was a silver lining. The next year, Rube* added Doug Smail (my favorite Sioux of all time), Dave Christian, Marc Chorney, Mike Stone and Paul Chadwick. Then in 78-79, Gino took that base, added a monster recruiting class (Kevin Maxwell, Phil Sykes, Cary Eades, Howard Walker and Bob Iwabuchi), and developed a league champ and college hockey powerhouse. *As assistant, Gino probably was responsible for all these recruits, although I have no idea if that is true.

Couldn't find it by itself but here you go. Interesting that the interlocking ND must be used with another UND trademark, would this have something to do with its similarity to Notre Dame's logo?

Excellent post! I wonder if the term "racist" has the same power it had 5, 10, 20 years ago? As you stated, it is so commonplace to use that term that it seems to be losing its sting. At least it is for me. We someone cries racism, my first reaction is one of skepticism and a little distrust of the accuser. The word used to have power - sent a red flag up immediately; Now?......hmmmphh, "someone's whining.". How often are true cases of injustice not taken seriously at first glance because of it?

PCM, I don't see where we disagree. As YaneA posted, FSU's appeal was sent before an appeal process had been formalized. I certainly don't blame FSU that the NCAA acted on it, or think that FSU acted unethically or inappropriately and didn't mean to imply so, but neither do I think it deserves praise. All I meant to imply was the NCAA was hell bent on getting FSU out of the way, even if it meant relaxing the rules, and I question whether any of the other schools would have been treated similarly. And I also wonder if perhaps FSU would have been better served, in the long run, to fight the appropriateness of the policy, rather than seek a exemption from it. On a side note, Interesting that in the NCAA's August 19 Press Release, tribal approval is a primary factor, despite that fact that the August 5 Release implies that use of names and images is never appropriate. ka-ching and cha-ching

Tough crowd. First of all, I highly doubt that FSU went through the formal appeals process as outlined by the NCAA and if it did, it certainly got special treatment. The process was only formalized last Friday. Then, magically, on Tuesday, not only had FSU got its appeal in, but it had been heard by the staff committee and executive committee and then granted. Coincidently, on Tuesday night, Kupchella stated at a FSC gathering that he had not received information from the NCAA regarding the appeals process. FSU went after the NCAA with all guns blazing. It used all its power as the gorilla of the bunch to get what was best for it, then vanish. Very effective and if UND was in the same situation, I'm sure I would want them to do the same. But it's hardly admirable behavior, and I think that's the point that redwing was trying to make. But I wonder if FSU's quick attack won't come back to bite them in the @ss. It was granted an exemption simply because of the support of the tribe (which, according to the NCAA release last Friday, is the primary consideration). If the NCAA policy sticks, FSU is effectively at the mercy of a tribal resolution. Can you spell KA-CHING?
