Great first post.

Just watched the end of the Air Force/Army game. Interesting that both teams joined together at the end of the game for the traditional 'circle of sticks.' Pretty cool.

The Cleveland Indians have apparently relegated Chief Wahoo to secondary logo status and made the block C their primary logo.

Could not agree more. Get back to recruiting guys who want to win titles while IN Grand Forks...not after they LEAVE Grand Forks.

I wore an Under Armour winter hat to work today...coldest 50 yards of my winter thus far. I'll be going back to my SiouxSports.com fleece hat tomorrow.

Well of course they did. The game-time was moved to 7:00 pm to accomodate the local fans and so the players would still FEEL like it was a championship game. Win-win situation.

Dear Santa, Please help our dear friend Billy Madison with some reading and spelling lessons this Christmas. Thank you. MafiaMan p.s. We get it, gfhockey, you hate Dave Hakstol.

Seriously, gfhockey, add SOMETHING to the equation other than your constant Hak rants. It's beyond old.

hoooked on phonix werked for mee.

It's also a HUGE assumption on your part to think that the conversation went something more like this: Wheeler: Great game tonight, Joe. I love the Sioux/Gopher rivalry. Finley: Shut your pie-hole, Blake or I'll shut it for you. Wheeler: You were outstanding on D tonight. I really have a lot of respect for your team and the job you did out there. Finley: I'm warning you. Stop running your mouth off. Wheeler: Best of luck the rest of the season. We'll see you guys again at the Final Five. ...and this is where Finley responds by trying to rip Wheeler's head off. I'm not buying that version of how events that night unfolded.

That's great that you girls can all bond together watching your favorite TV show...

Is that an iCarly reference? Say it ain't so, Joe, say it ain't so!

No it isn't, but Potulny's sand-bagging back to the defensive end of the ice after turning the puck over was bush league.

Yep, can't wait to see the 4 finalists: Sparkly Unicorns Glittery Sunshine Spotted Green Non-Offensive Lady Bugs Blizzard

Goon, I just cashed in your payment...less the Paypal fees.

Most invoices have been calculated and PM's have been sent. I have a couple left and should get those out in the next day or two.

I'm picking up some sarcasm...

I knew what you were saying...but still had to razz you. What's your predicted order of finish? Or should that be "Finnish"?

In anything? I'll take that bet. I think Russia will really be out for revenge in men's hockey - especially after the whoopin' Canada put on them in the last Olympics.

Funny how that works. I pointed out the silliness of this double-standard when West Virginia's basketball team travelled to Spokane several years ago to play Gonzaga. Some fans in the stands had signs reading "brokeback mountain" and a chant using the same language broke out in the student section. Nobody ever said a word about West Virginia needing a nickname change to prevent this type of behavior from ever happening again...but Gonzaga went so far as to request tapes of the game from ESPN so students could be disciplined. But if West Virginia would have just changed their nickname, this wouldn't be an issue, right?

Got any other big scoops for us today, keikla? Is Canada among the favorites to win gold medal in hockey at the Olympics? Got the 49ers over the Packers despite the cold in Lambeau? NDSU looking like a sure-thing three-peat in FCS football?

I couldn't agree more.
