Under that scenerio, I'll give BE as much chance of playing as do the Bears in the Super Bowl!

Big ice means Marto needs to be on D. Rotate the two frosh. Davidson has to play after what he has shown...same for Cichy. Like Cichy with Knight & JG too. Hexy isn't the answer there.

Will be in St. Louis this weekend...was hoping to see Oshie and the Blues but they are on the road as well. Will find some place to watch Friday's UND/CC game there. Early prediction for Friday...6-0 UND with Hexy and Genoway getting hat tricks!

Interesting...IMO as we get closer to the SB I see the line getting closer to a pick em game, maybe the Pack -1. But at 46 total in an indoor fast track...play the over!

Packers vs. Steelers...neither team was great yesterday, but I expect a great Super Bowl game. If it's anything like last season's regular season game that was an arial shootout in which Big Ben threw a TD on the last play of the game to win it, it'll be fun to watch...just need a different outcome! You can talk about ARog and/or Big Ben, but the game will come down to which O-line can protect their QB and establish alittle bit of a running game. It's a fast track in Dallas, just like it was in ATL for GB so IMO that's improves their odds somewhat. I just need Dave Berger to pick the Steelers... GO PACK GO!

That's 8 pm MT time...is that right? If so, why the late start?

They still make that crap? You should be able to get Moose Drool your way. 30 minutes until Pack goes to the SB!

Need 4 lower bowl tickets for Sat. Feb. 12. Will buy or swap out my 4 tickets in Sec. 110 for the Sat. Feb. 26 game vs. BSU.

If the game is 17-14....Bears win. If game is 28-17...Packers win My gut says Culter is due to implode. Better today than in the SB! GO PACK GO! Pack 27-17 is my call.

No...takes lots of luck and bounces along the way to win a NC.

Appreciate the ray of sunshine in my day today!

The ONLY thing I want to hear on Sunday is the call of Packer's radio play-by-play guy, Wayne Larrivee, saying "...and there is your NFC Championship dagger!!!" GO PACK GO!!!

There is not one item here that I disagree with. You, my friend, are very wise!

Here are odds that you can take to the bank: 2:3 odds the new nickname is totally lame and pathetic and that it will be spawned from the likes of the anti-Sioux faculty, Leigh Jeanotte, PETA, Jesse Jackson, Keith Olbermann and any other "duckies, bunnies and dewey meadows" pinhead you want to throw in there. 500:1 odds the new nickname is anything close to be being approved and accepted by UND students, alum and the vast majority of the fine people of this state.

Take it easy there, Rachel Maddow...

"The truth was spoken and so it shall be." How can you ague after his Nostradomus-like call of the Goph's series! Now doing my best rendition of the Twilight Zone theme music...

Live in south Fargo where this fall we finally got an earthen dike behind our development that is suppose to protect us to 42'. The 3' wide creek behind us turns into a small lake going west. Big enough to jet ski on! 41.5' floods my basement. 43' and change covers my main floor. 50% odds it goes to 38' per the NWS...bet your 401K on the over. It's going to get real ugly come late March. In '09 I had 3 Nat'l Guard checkpoints just to get to my house. I won't use the term "war zone" loosely, but it was close. My 10 yr. old daughter when hearing the flood forecast on the news said..."are we going to have to evacuate again?" I also have a 5 yr. old. Kids shouldn't have to deal with that on a YEARLY basis. As I told my wife this am...three strikes (3 floods in a row) and we are out! Going to move to drier ground or build a nice tree house!

Please...aren't you from Wyoming?! You all get one with your driver's license renewal and 2 Post ceral box tops!

As one who loves the "R", you are being presumptive and that's being generous and kind! I will give you your last point though.

You are not the first person I've heard that from. You should of stopped while you were ahead!!

Agree...to me, when I read Wyo's post it was a personal shot at Berg from someone who knows him to an extent. Didn't get any political bent there???

Seriously?! So we'll go from, arguably, one of the coolest nicknames ever in college athletics to one of the lamest. Sad enough to lose the nickname we have, but Spirit?!?!? In a nutshell, that sucks! IMO, the only nickname that will serve the UND and the state well long term is RoughRiders.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say there wasn't a Christmas card exchange between the 2 of you this year!

Dorgan went out on his own terms, which was smart. With Hoeven in the race, his odds of winning were a coin flip at best. Better to go out as you want rather than the Pomeroy exit! Conrad...he's got 2 more years with our current C & C running the country. He's odds probably wouldn't be any better in two years from now either. Call your own shots and go out on your own terms.

Yes, he was. And what has also been obvious is there is no one UND has played so far that can match up physically with Malone or Frattin. Been a long time since UND has had 2 skilled forward that also absolutely dominate physically. This line will be the line that carries this team from here on out IMO. They are a complete physical mismatch for any other line I've seen so far in college hockey this year.
