So Fairley and Suh were supposed to anchor the Lions' defense for a decade...and now they're both gone. Wow.

Good riddace, Mike Wallace!

Excellent!

Quite possible.

The Dutchmen will not go quietly!

Congratulations to the Region 7 champion New England Tigers on their state tournament berth. Always a good day to see Dickinson Trinity sent home disappointed. Games next Thursday: No. 2 Rugby (22-2) vs. Parshall (17-7), 1 p.m. No. 3 Fargo Oak Grove (21-4) vs. May-Port-CG (18-6), 2:45 p.m. No. 1 Four Winds-Minnewaukan (22-2) vs. Shiloh Christian (18-6), 5:30 p.m. No. 4 New England (22-2) vs. LaMoure-Litchville-Marion (18-7), 7:15 p.m.

So they had to amputate that toe or what? Bad joke. Serious bummer for Mark MacMillan. Certainly not how you envision your "Senior Night" game going. Here's to a speedy recovery!

First paragraph: lazy play by UND helped out by Holl getting Rocco twisted around after his stick hit him in the cage. Couldn't agree more on paragraph two: UND needs to be better prepared to handle TV time-outs during NCAA games. Michigan totally used the slow-down to their advantage.

Some bad news, folks...looks like I am not going to avoid being out-of-town for this event...anyone out there willing to emcee the annual Hoggs brunch?

I still like "Cheers."

"...we are in the business of entertaining fans." "If the fans like it that much and they keep it then I have no issues." The "fans" also go absolutely nuts when a fight breaks out, too, but we're trying to eliminate that from the game, right? I have a great idea, since this is about the "fans"...how about lowering the price of replica and authentic jerseys? I think most fans would rally around that. Can anyone else imagine the great 6 or 7 OT Big East game between UConn and Syracuse going to 4 on 4, 3 on 3, or free-throw shooting to decide the outcome? Does the MLB pull 3 position players off the field after 12 innings of play? These gimmicks in the NHL can stop anytime now.

I was pointing out how silly it sounds to have a direction in both the school name AND the nickname. It sounds so nice that you want to say "north" twice?

Wrong thread.

Excellent point.

Yea, in like 1993! You could see it all as it unfolded...Miami's defense lolly-gagging back to the line...safeties not even paying attention. I was yelling at the TV "it's a fake," but nobody heard me.

I suspected as much.

10-4. We're totally on the same page.

You guys are missing the joke. It seems the only ones "making a run" on the court (at least in the men's games) are the teams wearing the road uniforms.

Seriously, fs4l, is it that hard to understand? It's the same reason parents don't name there kids Jack Jackson, Eric Ericson, or Martin Martin. Is it THAT complicated? Let's try this: Southern Utah University Southern Utes University of North Carolina North Heels University of of South Florida South Bulls Do any of those sound dumb? Because they are.

But why would they call a TO and stifle their own momentum? Oh, you mean NORTH DAKOTA (the men) might actually go on a run...

Still can't believe they fell for the Aaron Rodgers fake-spike play. I don't care if Tom Brady is QB'ing New England until he's 50. Miami will continue to be the choke-job of the division until he retires. And what's more indicative of the talent disparity between Miami and New England? The 33-20 win the Dolphins had over the Patriots last September or the 41-13 beatdown that NE delivered in the season finale?

2011 - they were shipped to St Louis MO and promptly sent back home by Colorado College to the tune of an 8-4 whoopin'. Editor's note: Michigan then beat CC 2-1 in the region finale. We all know what happened next in the 2011 Frozen Four.

Fighting Shrews

Until Suh gets a 4-8 game suspension for stepping on Brady's hand/ankle/groin...then what? Miami's defense was so over-rated last year that it's not even funny. They gave up 30+ points in their last four games (including 35 to the Vikings) and 27 or more in 8 out of 16 games on the season. So much money tied up in Suh that Miami needs offensive weapons on the cheap. In fact, I got a call this morning asking if I'd take $40K a year to be the short-yardage situation wide receiver. I was a Dolphins fan until Jimmy Johnson dumped Dan Marino. Until they bring back the old logo and uniform, I'm out.

He was disgruntled last year and they could hve traded him then. Instead, they have ZERO to show in exchange for Andre Johnson and Mario Williams. They could have at least gotten a pick or two for Johnson before the start of last season.
