fabian with a goal.... that move by toews was incredible, had he scored it would have been one of the best of the year. 1-0 sioux!!!

block field go.... SIOUX WINNN!!!!!

incomplete.... great stop 4th down on the 3.

4th down, ball on 46 yard line, 16 seconds left. punt, hopefully weston does something special.

almost picked off by greenwood at 25.... 3rd and 10

incomplete... 2nd and 10. score updates: omaha, mankato tied at 14 at half central arkansas 7, usd 0 half

f interception... augie ball at UND's 43.

1st down to groeshl (sp?)... 51 seconds left, sioux on own 39 belmore throws it wildly incomplete.... 2nd and 10.

time to kick ass and take names.

fg goal block sioux!!!! way to go.

option run by chappell to the 18... i don't want to say i called it, but i called it. run down to the 8 by chappell. he's got 85 yards in the 1st half.

put dressler at qb and run an option offense the rest of the game. no way they'd be able to stop weston and chappell all day.

incomplete on 4th down... sioux ball. good stop boys.

i just got done listening to drew wrigley talk for more than two hours about the case. he went into a lot of detail and gave the entire story of the abduction. the things dru had to go through are practically unspeakable. it's amazing someone can be so cold-hearted. no doubt in my mind that after hearing drew's closing statement that every juror in the courtroom felt rodriguez deserved to die. it was only until a final juror "came to peace" with making the decision that they got the unanimous decision.

the jury will begin deliberating tomorrow, around noon. the defense wrapped up their case yesterday and the prosecution only called one expert to the stand today. this afternoon, judge ralph erickson gave some basic instructions to the jurors. tomorrow morning will be much of the same. then the jury will decide if they want to take a lunch break or start deliberating right away. the more this case has progressed, the more i think that he won't get the death penalty. not because he doesn't deserve it, but because it seems to me that it would be very hard to get 12 people to agree to sentence him to death. the jurors could be so scared of thinking they would be held responsible for the killing of another person that they would just rather see him rot in jail. i expect it to take two hours max of deliberating, when the jury realizes that there are a couple people who just won't bring themselves to sentence him to death. expect a verdict a little bit after noon tomorrow.

considering when sioux hockey games are broadcast outside the gf area, it's on the FIGHTING SIOUX SPORTS NETWORK... a cable channel on cable systems throughout the state. i would expect sweeney to pull for the sioux on the air. it's a completely different situation than the ndsu games being broadcast on abc stations.

i know the student tickets were sold out on thursday. not sure if all the seats are filled, but the place sounds packed. edit; student tickets are free.

smart move to not start the shuttle back up until the game is completely over. keeps fans in the stadium.

all you have to do is go through the main doors and they won't scan your id.

ruin the statue? that'd almost be ruining the paint. i don't think it's fair to have paint touch something that dirty.

because you're stuck in the 80's? be classy and say thank you to the bison fans who werent here talking smack.

we go through this with every defensive dman we've had over the past couple years. commodore? he's big but can't skate. greene? smaby? the coaches know what they're doing. these kids aren't the greatest their freshman year, make some big strides to their sophomore year, then their junior year they're incredible. if they stay 4 years (none of the above mentioned have) then they undoubtedly will be a force.

hook. line. sinker.

the difference between wdio and wdaz is that grand forks has the fighting sioux sports network. they don't have to preempt anything.

we obviously know that this scenario is a long shot. we're not overly optimistic it will happen, but it would be a good thing to see for UND. most people on the board are just throwing out ideas. brainstorming. we know that a majority of the things that are suggested (other than ndsu and sdsu voting UND into the midcon in a couple years) are not realistic. aff... the reason so many people are annoyed by your posts is because we know that what we're suggesting is far from reality. it's just fun to toss out ideas, even if they may seem to be ridiculous. we understand that you don't think UND will get into any conference other than the midcon. for most UND fans, unfortunately, that seems like the only feasible option. however, you have to know that going into this we're not expecting ubc to join the the big sky, then demand that du comes with, in turn UND would get invited. we're just throwing out possibilities, no matter how small they may be. we don't constantly need to hear "this will never happen because of blah blah blah..." we know it most likely will never happen. but we're just tossing out ideas. what fun would it be if we only speculated on things that were guaranteed to happen?
