i'll sell you my spot. it'll cost about the price of one of al's bus rides. i'd even let you pay for hotel, food and drinks for me too!!

so let me get this right... the ncaa in all it's power decided to restrict und's use of the fighting sioux nickname a logo. let's see how well they've fared: 2006: Men's hockey team hosts NCAA regional at Ralph Engelstad Arena, while wearing normal Sioux jerseys Men's hockey team plays at Frozen Four in Milwaukee, while wearing normal Sioux jerseys Woman's basketball team hosts NCAA regional, while wearing normal Sioux jerseys Men's and Women's Swimming/Diving teams compete at NCAA tournament, while wearing Sioux swimsuits/caps Women's Tennis competes at NCAA Regionals, wearing Sioux uniforms Men's Football team hosts NCAA playoff game, wearing Sioux uniforms 2007: Women's basketball hosts NCAAA regional at Betty Engelstad Sioux Center, while wearing Sioux jerseys Men's and Woman's Swimming/Diving teams compete at NCAA tournament while wearing Sioux uniforms Men's hockey team competes (and wins) at NCAA West Regional, wearing ridiculously awesome black Sioux jerseys and there's still so much more of 2007 left.

three friends and i took al's bus to a st cloud playoff football game a couple years back. we were clearly the youngest people there by a good 10 years, but it was an amazing trip. who doesn't love getting drunk at 8 am with a bunch of 50 year olds while talking about the sioux? if i could have gotten this time off work, i'd almost take the bus over riding in a cramped car with family. nothing like hanging out with some new sioux friends and enjoying a couple (15-20 )cold ones.

the ncaa has absolutely nothing to do with picking the hobey winner or finalists.

well, und is in grand forks. and usd is in vermillion, south dakota. but possibly, that's not what you meant.

air force lost to cc and du by one goal. they could most definitely beat uaa.

dartmouth just lost to st lawrence, meaning the sioux can at best be a #2 seed. hopefully they can win tonight and avoid being placed in the grand rapids regional with michigan and minnesota.

actually this is what needs to happen (changes in bold): Notre Dame beats Michigan Dartmouth beats or ties St. Lawrence Quinnipiac beats Clarkson New Hampshire beats Boston College Army and Air Force doesn't matter North Dakota beats Minnesota

umass win today + bc loss today + sioux win tomorrow + st. cloud loss tomorrow ____________________ #1 seed (the only really essential things are that und wins tomorrow and st cloud loses tomorrow). but unh and bc losing would definitely help.

i'm debating it right now... but a couple things need to fall into place first.

Article today from the AP on a possible settlement:

playmakers is ok, but there are definitely more bigscreens at the south bww.

whats a few more bucks for the nd taxpayers? they're already covering und's lawsuit and $1 million dollar athletic dept defecit, they might as well shell out a few more bucks.

step 1: pretend to be a sioux fan step 2: post things that seem to question everything und step 3: post something that undoubtedly would set ndsu fans off step 4: run to bisonville and post under your real name saying how "und fans" think they could dominate ndsu. step 5: ? step 6: profit.

why is that depressing? as a bison fan you should be overjoyed.

thanks sprig, that works perfect!

anyone know if there is a direct link to the video feed? my windows media player in internet explorer doesn't work, so i'd need the direct feed i can just paste into windows media player. any help is greatly appreciated.

lots of love for the sioux in that chat.

quick question for the legal types out there... correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe the AG's office can use any and all documents during the actual proceedings. the only thing this ruling (assuming jahnke rules in favor of releasing the documents) will do is allow the public to see the documents before they make their way into the courtroom. or am i wrong and does this keep the AG's office from using those documents during their court case?

hearing is done. jahnke says he'll make a decision at a later date.

is this one of those situations where the games against msum become exempt because if they lose they get dropped out of a TUC? i know there's some rule that prevents your team from getting hurt by beating lower ranked teams in conference playoffs.

that is possibly the dumbest statement i have ever read.

when there are no defensemen he can do his move without getting dropped.

bochenski picks up a goal five minutes into his first game with the bruins. if they run their system anything like chicago, he should get sent down to the ahl sometime during the third period.
