Why not? It'd be the only pro game in town. I think the NHL may have had better success with southern expansion had it not picked cities already saturated with pro sports teams (especially Miami). Las Vegas expansion team...Seattle expansion team...Florida Panthers move to Quebec City or even Hartford...NHL gold.

Detroit's prevent-offense almost handed the Vikings a victory today.

Great post. I've had enough of official party propaganda about how great UND athletics is right now compared to NDSU.

Rubber pellets.

Now, now, SW, just relax. Let's see how the team responds against Dickinson State before over-reacting!

That UND could probably beat Watford City High School by 40 but lose a close one to Fargo South?

Yes, beating the Dickinson State Blue Hawks is now apparently the University of North Dakota benchmark for success.

Oxbow6, I guess this is what you mean by the bar being set low, eh? Now we're measuring success by seeing how well this team handles adversity against Dickinson State. I'm sure this isn't what most folks had in mind when they learned UND was going "Division I."

I'm on your side on this one, darell. The line last season was that UND was more successful than NDSU based on beating the Bison head-to-head. Nevermind that NDSU gained national exposure by making the NCAA tournament AND beating a very good Oklahoma team. On national TV. Again. Flash-forward nine months and now some folks are poo-poo'ing this loss to NDSU because they want to wait and see how the rest of the season turns out. No doubt at all in my mind that if UND wins the Big Sky and wins a game in the NCAA tournament, the same folks who last year claimed UND had the better season would immediately have a case of amnesia and think UND basketball is far superior to NDSU based on the overall 2014-2015 season. Problem is...they can't have it both ways.

Well, the link shoots down the Bruins color conspiracy theory...

And who says cheaters never win?

http://penguins.nhl.com/club/m_page.htm?id=56510 I can't find the link but the Bruins ownership objected to the Penguins' color change so much that they brought a Bruins jersey in Red Wings colors to a meeting. The owner chickened out and never showed off the jersey to prove his point. I wonder where that jersey is today...what a cool piece of hockey history.

Agreed. But wasn't the "company line" around here last March that UND had the better season than NDSU based on that early-season victory over the Bison? If that's truly how folks felt back then, this is a disaster of epic proportions for UND this season.

Yea - "Hey coach, thanks for the lesson."

Ouch!

Now is where the "NDSU's Super Bowl" posters come out of the woodwork, right? If UND goes on to win the Big Sky and upset a Big XII team in the opening round of the NCAA tournament, this loss will be totally forgotten about.

Final score?

Wait...it musta been late 1970's, not early 1980's. Dementia may be setting in, but I'm still a solid 1 for 2 at the charity stripe.

See above post.

I was being facetious...I was asking if that was his take on the penalty call.

I won the New England St Mary's 5th and 6th grade free throw competition back in the early 1980's...I'd be good for a 2 for 2 from the line. One bucket out of darell and we'd practically earn letters.

Somewhere tonight, Rico Burkett and Dave Vonesh are wanting to kick someone's a**...

TH: "terrible call!"?

You, darell, and I could find a way to put 5 points on the board...

I still care about the WCHA...tempted to hit the X next spring too. Keep posting!
