No college hockey, no Stanley Cup playoffs...what the heck am I gonna do until the season starts up again? Watch the Detroit Tigers continue to implode? The Lions blow up any potential chances of being a good NFL team? Maybe I'll just PM The Sicatoka and head over to my iPod thread and see what's new there...

Which all involve diversity, spiritual growth, and learning. It's an academia nut's dream nickname choice. Final three selection.

All of these potential "controversies" are exactly why Sundogs will be the obvious choice in some, if not the majority, of the committee members' respective minds.

North Dakota defeated Cornell in the 1968 NCAA semi-finals. That was Cornell's 2nd loss that season - they did win the consolation game, which was still played in those days. The Big Red lost to Denver in the 1969 NCAA championship game by a score of 4-3. Pretty impressive four-year run: 4 Frozen Fours, 3 title game appearances, 2 national championships.

Well, when you have potential future Hall of Famer Miguel Sano on your team, anything is possible...

We miss you Wilbur!

Things are so bad in Madison that I heard Eaves placed a call to our very own Wilbur to see if he had any eligibility left!

Rest in peace, Ken Stabler. It broke my heart when the Oilers traded Dan Pastorini for you, but that's water under the bridge now.

The hyperbole never stops...the other night, Mark Rosen referred to Sano as "potential future Hall of Famer Miguel Sano..." I just about died laughing at Rosie's MLB scouting ability based on a player's first game in the big leagues.

Mark Dayton might have a plan to get this done. Cue the private/public "partnership" and the ground-breaking ceremony.

Rest in peace, Amanda Peterson. Great 1980's movie.

The free pass that Hope Solo has gotten in regards to her antics is quite the non-story these days.

Remember when your 8 year old daughter used to watch Hannah Montana? Yea, me either.

I don't know how long it has been out but I noticed on my Redbox app on my iPhone that "Red Army" is indeed at Redbox locations. I'm trying to justify driving 10 miles out of my way tonight to pick it up and watch it.

Close, but you're wrong. It was Dickinson State University - they're apparently going to turn the old Fryburg Elementary School into an ice hockey rink and play there. In the WCHA, of course.

Yea...sorry, that was a brain fart.

Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both dying on July 4th, 1826, is one of the biggest coincidences I can think of in terms of the history of this country. Jefferson was 82 years old, Adams 90. True patriots, both of them.

You'd think all your monikers are related or something...

Devil's advocate here: A lot of UND fans found it amusing that Craig Bohl left NDSU for FBS doormat Wyoming. Where then, would a Roughriders/Sundogs/Fighting Hawks win over the Cowboys be ranked in terms of North Dakota football lore?

First change: HOORAY! Second change: The magical advancement of the ball to halfcourt simply because you call a TO rule. Yuck.

Interesting, yes, but I find it sad. Overtook the south, broke away from California, in 1964, no, 1864, and Abraham Lincoln was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. God help America.

Have these been leaked/released yet?

That's a big loss for Tech.

Oshie heading to the Capitals via trade. In a related story, jimdahl was first in line this afternoon to buy a new jersey.

Yea, that Lidstrom guy was OK too.
