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.

Finally! They haven't really had one since Brian Rafalski retired.

I'm as stunned as you are!

"Chief Osceola" is murdered... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3144529/Florida-State-mascot-killed-kitchen-worker-row-gumbo-spices-escalated-fatal-stabbing.html

It's a pleasant change from being the #1 spot on the web for Boston Bruins' updates and information.

Abraham Lincoln issued the Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction on December 8, 1863. His plan for how the south was to re-join the Union was put in place long before his death on April 15, 1865.

So what is it about Sundogs that you like so much anyways?

I'm aware of that - he's been in his role with the NHL for quite some time now though.

"Active" players cannot also be employees of the NHL. Chris Pronger has not officially retired, yet he works for the NHL while still on the Flyers payroll. My guess is that this is a wink-wink deal to keep the NHL safe from a concussion lawsuit brought forth by Pronger.

His conversation with the woman from Denver about "abstract" nicknames open to interpretation by each individual and how it resonated with him was hardly taken out of context.

Going overboard is one thing...JR bawling on national TV like a schoolgirl who skinned her knee at recess is another.

Why is anyone surprised? Abstracters like Karl love it! And you can't spell "sUNDogs" without "UND," right?

Well, that's probably a stretch when it comes to Little Caesar's, but that's what they call it.

I guess you can thank Abraham Lincoln for not ordering the plundering, pillaging, looting, and burning of the entire Confederacy as punishment for the Civil War. It was only because of him that the rebels were to be treated as what they were once again - American citizens.

Actually, as a fan of the Red Wings, I just happen to have watched a lot of Detroit/Chicago games. It's hilarious listening to Roenick, Milbury, etc. ramble on and on about Chicago's always-loyal hockey fans. It wasn't all that long ago that they were practically giving away Blackhawks tickets with $5 Little Caesar's pizzas.

And yet, it's in the final seven!

Watching Germany and France trade like 100 penalty kicks was enough to make me want to gouge my eyes out.
