Got word this past weekend that my old roomie from 408B McVey Hall circa '88-'90 is in the hospital with lymphoma...prognosis is days to live, at best... Life isn't fair sometimes and you're stuck with the cards you're dealt. I sure wish he had been given a better hand. Although we haven't talked a lot over the past 25 years, the memories of those days are still in my head. The late-night whole 4th North wing calling into the local radio station to win prizes, looking at the sign outside the Chester Fritz in the morning when it was -25, you and our suite-mates stealing all the chocolate chip cookies my mom had mailed to me, and making the trek over to the old REA to watch some Fighting Sioux hockey. Great times that I won't ever forget... Your wife and son are in my prayers, Erin, as you grab a seat in the cockpit for your final flight to the golden airport in the sky. May God be with you on your journey.

The MLB contracts of Prince Fielder, Josh Hamilton, and Albert Pujols are holding for you on line two...

Gaborik does the smart thing and re-signs with the Kings...

I'm with ya, brother!

Had they not won in 2002 and 2003, I'd agree with you on this. Man I wish that the Gopher title drought still extended back to 1979.

So the Flyers are now in the business of trading current Flyers (Scott Hartnell) in exchange for former Flyers (RJ Umberger)...I have an idea...why don't you try and pick up that Jeff Carter guy and what's-his-name Justin Williams? I think they just might help the team...and how about a swap of fourth-line centers, Vincent Lecavalier for Mike Richards?

Vince also probably thinks players who take a play or a half off due to concussion protocol being followed are pansies. Give 'em a sniff of smelling salts and get 'em back on the field!

So the Sudanese Christian woman imprisoned with her 21 month old and newborn was released yesterday...only to be arrested again along with her husband for trying to leave the country...oh, and the hashtag effort to release the girls in Nigeria hasn't worked so far...

Oh my! What will Gopher fans have to complain about now?

I'm quite certain Khloe couldn't identify North Dakota on a map if you spotted her South Dakota and told her that the state she was looking for was "up" from that point. You are 100% correct, Goon.

Sounds like we need a new thread for "semi-committed" recruits or "committed recruits who will more than likely change their mind"... Which reminds me...anyone else happy that Brendan Lemieux didn't wind up in a Sioux jersey? Yea, 27 goals for the Barrie Colts in the OHL would have been useful, but 145 PM's in 65 games? Yikes. Further proving he's a chip of the old block...

Stoppage time > .6?

Saying that you're the best pro football team in Florida is like saying you're the best NHL team in Ohio.

Winter is coming...

Lucky for WMU, Andy Murray is staying put and not headed to Toronto.

Why? It's the best of both worlds...good football AND cheap crab legs after home games!

What an outrage! Aren't there more Catholics in Fargo than Lutherans?

With all due respect, darell, should that 8 year old mini-mites all star of yours accept a baseball scholarship to Moo U in about 10 years, I have no doubt at all that you'll suddenly find yourself a fan of NDSU, at least in one sport.

Just a suggestion (and I mean it to be funny, not a slam), but I think if you took some classes at Wisconsin, Florida State, Georgia, Boise State, or Oregon, you might have more fun at football games you're attending...plus pick up a new alma mater or two.

keikla just "happened to be in the neighborhood" and stopped by the church in Copenhagen to see what all the fuss was about...

Thanks for the report, Miss TMZ!

Well duh, that's an easy answer! Anyone should be allowed to vote, but since the 2nd Amendment is only supported by a minority of citizens who use it to bully the majority (according to Hillary Clinton, anyways), it should just be ignored. Problem solved.

Yikes! The Pope is meeting with the Mafia while the Azzurri are losing to Costa Rica? Not good. I predict a severed horse's head on someone's pillow soon...

Groan...c'mon, Bettman...Canada deserves to have Montreal in one of these things...
