I probably could, as often as I eat at Taco Bell. Chili cheese burrito with extra cheese, please.

I'm not going to blame folks at BU for not showing up at last night's game...there's a reason why the Beanpot finale was postponed until February 23rd.

What's that I smell, Blackheart? I think it's a TCoS!

From Twitter: Jim Montgomery ‏@DUCoachMonty Thank you @UNDmhockey 4 the moment of silence 4 my Dad & to the great people in hockey who have reached out. #classymove https://twitter.com/DUCoachMonty/status/566572621547196417

Meh. The only thing that might generate better play in college basketball is this: http://www.sbnation.com/college-basketball/2015/2/14/8038431/freshmen-ineligible-college-sports-nba-age-limit It'll never happen though. Of course, Kentucky would object, as would its current class of "student-athletes" (and I use that term loosely) on the basketball court this season: http://kentuckysportsradio.com/basketball-2/pac-12-commissioner-proposes-freshmen-ineligibility-rule-for-college-basketball-is-stupid/

If I were Joe Biden, I'd consider you my butt buddy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNxYLgUgO1Y But I'm not, so we're just friends.

SiouxSports.com is enough "social media" for me. I text and call my "friends" - hell, we even get together in person sometimes! Crazy, I know.

"Hey, we were picked in a pre-season poll to finish 9th so anything above that is exceeding expectations. Finishing 9th is meeting them." The new benchmark for success I guess.

Great points. It's probably all society's fault anyways that this poor college kid didn't get enough hugs and goodnight kisses from mommy and daddy as a baby. We should all appreciate our diversity and cultural differences and think about the social benefit of him using such language during a moment of silence for a deceased person. Now, let's all gather around the campfire after tonight's Traditional Circle of Sticks and share our feelings on this person's choice of words. We can roast marshmallows and sing "Give Peace a Chance" until we fall asleep in a giant hug of forgiveness. Or... We can expect this moron to face some consequences for his actions.

Isn't this a "Code of Student Conduct" issue as well?

Chet, quoting someone's post and putting your comments afterwards can't be that difficult, can it? Makes it soooo much easier for the reader.

South Bend still needs fans in the stands. Lots of hockey left and the conference tournaments will produce an upset somewhere resulting in an auto-bid for an unexpected team.

Couldn't agree more. Embarrassing.

Michigan, sheesh. Thanks for showin' up.

Hoopster on the state of North Dakota basketball: "Please disperse. There is nothing to see here. Everything is fine."

Providence loses to Notre Dame 2-0...groan.

Speaking of potentially crippling PWR losses...

Some teams can't afford bad losses if they want to stay ranked high or move up in the PWR (Merrimack, Providence, UMass-Lowell). Those are potentially crippling losses (and obviously benefit a certain team whose name rhymes with Shinnesota.

Wisconsin's Squirt C team is up 1-0 on Ohio State's...

I don't want to bog down this thread any further with coaching comparisons, but if you want to create a new thread, I'll be your huckleberry.

Check out former NHL'er Dan Sexton's dive in the KHL earlier this week...then check out the official in the top right-hand corner. Yep, he bought it.

C'mon, homer, that statement is absolutely absurd.

Saw a sundog a couple of weeks ago during a cold spell here...made me want to puke.

Makes total sense, Mariucci. The Islanders, for example, were very enthusiastic about Kyle Okposo's development while at the University of Minnesota. Oh, wait...
