Spectacular work. If I could find 10 folks willing to pony up for some hockey jerseys, I'd flip that bird (pun intended) around to face left, head down to my local hockey shop and order up a set first thing tomorrow morning!

Michigan State is likely going to be looking for a new coach. Wisconsin is stuck with Eaves as an albatross. Red Berenson's about out the door at Michigan. Ohio State would 86 hockey in a heartbeat in exchange for some new black Nike jerseys for the football team. If the future is bright for B10 hockey, then I'm John Mariucci.

Well, Johnboy, maybe NDSU should split into two football teams because FCS is anti-competitive for them and they're winning too many championships?

Big shake-up in Hockey East last night. BC gets upset by UMass-Lowell and BU loses at Notre Dame. Lowell now tied with the Terriers for 4th and by virtue of winning the tie-breaker, gets a HE first-round playoff bye. The Terriers now have to play a first-round series. Ouch.

I don't disagree - Bismarck should split things up. But if they weren't winning state titles, Fargo and GF would be mocking them for failing to do so with all those schools to recruit from.

So on one hand, the western boys teams are an embarrassment for losing... ...and on the other hand, the Bismarck girls team is an embarrassment for WINNING?

Whoa whoa whoa, girls get CUT from the team? Does any student who tries out for the girls' team at RR or Fargo South get sprinkles?

A .1 TV share for the Minnesota/Michigan State game? Hell, Newhart reruns and the 2,000th showing of "Driving Miss Daisy" at 4:00 am on TNT get better ratings than that!

I'd hardly classify playing any game in any sport in a state tournament as an embarrassment.

Yea, I realize the years without winning a first-round game. However, given the population in GF and Fargo compared to western towns like Minot, Williston, and Dickinson, I can't say the results have been all that surprising. I guess I just choose to not label western teams of high school kids as "embarrassing."

Decades of embarrassment? C'mon, darell...

Just a few weeks to go before the main event! I am organizing the usual batch of door prizes and give-aways. Donations always welcome and accepted! New this year will be a silent auction - and dare I say you won't want to miss this or you'll be sorry you did. Please add your name to the list of attendees so I can give Tom and Jossie an idea of how many folks are coming. We typically have 20-25 but have had years of 45-50 and almost 75 came in 2012. Kids are welcome too! The more, the merrier.

Slashes Maine player right in front of official about five seconds before a penalty is called on the Black Bears at center ice in the 2002 NCAA championship game. You know the rest.

Gaudreau was always a factor when he was on the ice at BC. There were plenty of times I saw UND play and wondered where Rocco even was since he was practically invisible.

What about Erik "I was just pushing off his chest with my skate" Westrum?

Hey, fuggedaboudit....I'll be freakin' der dis yee-ah!

Rumor has it that Wilbur and some friends are on-board for the Hogger! Any suggestions for the sign outside the bar this year?

Too late! Mark Dayton has already spent it.

FIFTY ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS? For realz?

I don't get all the Sioux fan outrage at schools that do this. Some teams do it after a sweep, others salute the fans after a weekend regardless of their performance, and others do it after each and every game. Just because it's a UND tradition after a sweep doesn't make another school's tradition less traditional. Excellent use of the trademarked TCoS though.

Cratter's been bitter about Hakstol since Dave's Animal Ark mutt got out of the yard a few years ago and knocked up his show dog. Time to let it go, Cratter!

Adidas for UND basketball jerseys? Have you noticed the prom cummerbund look being sported this season by the likes of Wisconsin, Michigan and Louisville? NO THANKS!
