The 1996 WCOH final between the US and Canada was right up there with the Miracle on Ice in terms of hockey game excitement. I also attended a couple of 2004 WCOH games in St Paul and had a great time. The problem isn't the tournament...it's the exclusion of some countries and "all-star" and "young-star" teams that make this latest version of the WCOH a total farce.

Now, now, darell, we can't be wasting taxpayer money and it's much easier to get around in GF as opposed to Fargo... ...so only $70K will be allocated for a driver.

How about we make sure some ethnic Czechs from Beach and Ukrainians from Dickinson have a fair voice in this process as well? Maybe President Kelley can just hire a new vice-president of nickname selection and pay them $100K a year?

Oxbow6, I think your Packers defense is gonna let you down in the playoffs again. No excuse for that 2nd half comeback by the Falcons.

Man, this is getting as bad as that crabs outbreak from around 1985 or 1986 on Carrington's boys basketball team.

Maybe jimdahl can add a Swap-Meet or For Sale or Trade section for folks looking to move some items of interest?

Breaking news: Barry Alvarez has hired his own ego to coach the Badgers in their bowl game...again.

USFL - the Houston Gamblers, whose QB had the greatest football nickname ever: Jim "Machine Gun" Kelly.

Wisconsin quickly becoming the NOT-IT school for coaches.

Well, keep in mind that the original article was written in September of 2013...

Portland State plotting a move to FBS... HUH?

Houston has a brand-new stadium and some history from the old SWC...why wouldn't UH be a good fit in the Big XII?

Unbelievable.

Have you seen the absolutely ridiculous format yet? No Germany and no Slovakia this time around.

...except that Rick Reilly's father-in-law was either "mis-quoted" or had a change of heart about his comments after this article was published... http://ftw.usatoday.com/2013/10/rick-reilly-bob-burns-father-in-law

I doubt it. Rebuilding takes some time. I'm not sure what the pollsters were thinking ranking Maine that high. Update on Tim Whitehead: http://bangordailynews.com/2013/06/20/sports/former-umaine-hockey-coach-whitehead-takes-position-at-new-hampshire-prep-school/

Alaska-Anchorage, Alabama-Huntsville, Alaska-Fairbanks...

Yea, what's the deal with Patterson anyways?

I crowned myself king earlier this morning and already decided that.

I'm hoping for a sweep, myself...

The one-game eye test can't beat the season-long smell test. And the Virginia Tech loss stinks. Bad.

In the interest of full disclosure here, Oxbow6's late great-uncle was a guy by the name of Wayne Hayes...

Isn't that the truth around here?

What's a better determination of a conference champion, playing each of the 9 possible opponents in your conference once, or playing 8 of 13 possible conference opponents and having a championship game decide based upon divisions?

East Carolina, Pitt, and Wake Forest...three schools who beat the team that beat Ohio State.
