MafiaMan

Until he gets fired and comes back to the US with a boatload of bootleg Fighting Sioux knock-off jerseys to sell.

Hopefully in 2019.

Many of you know IceArenaMan from our board. I know him as a friend and it is with great sadness that I post this announcement at his request. Al's wife passed away Sunday night after an 18 month battle with brain cancer. https://www.lacannefuneralhome.com/obituaries/Patricia-Pat-Baloun?obId=4468632#/celebrationWall I've spoken to Al and visited with him in person several times over the past year-and-a-half of his wife's fight. To call Pat's battle "grueling" would be an understatement. Al, your family and Pat are all in our prayers. Godspeed, Pat, and Al, I'll see you soon.

Well, I would hope that most of them aren't thinking that a 7-6 or 7-5 record and "we almost made the playoffs" is a sign of success.

Well, let's see how that all pans out, shall we? Sam Houston State was supposedly the "biggest win in the history of the program" last year, then as the season went on, it became painfully obvious that SHSU was incredibly over-rated. Let's compare the state of programs, shall we: UND: "Well, let's see if Bubba can get to 6 or 7 wins and then we'll go from there. Maybe we can even sneak into the playoffs!" NDSU: "Well, we lost a ton of talent to graduation and have a new head coach. What's the expectation? Another national championship."

That's what SHOULD happen. Unfortunately, given the demise of expectations, another 6 win season and Bubba will likely get a contract extension and a pay raise.

You spelled “outrageously over-priced” wrong.

Does Killdeer High School stay Class B or make the jump to D1?

I said possibly Koronis, but I believe you have hit the nail on the head with Starter. If you moved the decimal place over one spot to the left, I may be interested. For $350., no thanks.

I can't tell from the tag, but I think that may be a Koronis jersey. Most certainly not an authentic from Gemini.

Well, I'm not sure that @Blackheart picking up season tickets had anything to do with it, but I suppose it's possible...

Wow, did the Blues look awful last night. They'll take Game 6 to their collective graves if they lose game 7 in Boston.

My sources tell me that Anaheim had an offer in place, but UMD’s insistence on the Ducks taking @DrunkHockeyGuy along as part of the total package caused the deal to fall apart.

For effort?

He should have held out for %gobc money. $107 million guaranteed? Those boys refer to that as "pocket change."

Journalism 101. Spell a person’s name or business name correctly. The business logo literally says “Mamma,” not “Mama.” Nice work, Grand Forks Herald.

They’re eating their own in Boston these days! I even heard that @Blackheart had to break up a tussle between @Ray77 and @Goon at B-Dubs in Fargo last night!

BOOM!

Hips are fine...but I could really do without the cheater glasses that started making an appearance about six months ago...
