I'm trying to cut folks a little slack given the holidays and the fact that I did tell everyone to be patient until the bill arrived in my mailbox from Coaches Choice and I had a few days to calculate everyone's total including the S&H breakdown...could be a simple case of much bigger things going on at the moment...hopefully will be resolved in a few days. Hopefully...

Any truth to the rumor that Al's bus is stopping at Aphten's Attic for pre-game festivities?

Sioux-per hockey fan...present and accounted for. 2 down, 2 to go.

9 weeks away from the Hoggsbreath brunch... Wilbur...are you and your dad planning on making the trip to Sacred Canada, er, Little Heart, no, wait, Little Canada in March? Will Oxbow6 be shopping at the Mall of America or make an appearance at the Hogger? NorthDakotaHockey says he wants more meat this year, whatever that means. Can Goon google-map his way to Highway 36 and Rice Street or is the move from St Paul to Minneapolis simply too much to handle for him this year? Will there be a Daddy WarPipes sighting? Will yours truly re-tell the story of the greatest Sioux fan-fail in the history of college hockey? We'll find out soon...

Patriots over Broncos. Seahawks over 49ers. my iPhone is my watch. I haven't worn one since about 2000.

I'll try to help out with this, jim. I'll start by moving the "best watch" conversation over to my own personal thread.

siouxczech29, thank you for the quick response. 1 down, 3 straggler payments to go.

Thank you.

Ok, so you're saying A-Rod beats the rap or are you predicting a warm January-March in Grand Forks?

My CHN app clearly said BTN.

CHN had it listed as being on the Big 10 Network tonite.

How were those TV ratings tonite, Mariucci?

OK, five things I predict for 2014: Alex Rodriguez not playing a single baseball game. Either the Patriots or Broncos making the Super Bowl. Al Pearson putting together a Sioux hockey bus trip. Grand Forks seeing below zero temps. gfhockey getting bombed and posting about it on SiouxSports.com. Mark this thread for next December and we'll see if my "predictions" make me look as smart as you. I personally like my chances.

Called it!

Oh, so it had nothing to do with benefitting local Gopher fans who could work all day Thursday and Friday and then hit the X for a 7:00 pm game...and everything to do with allowing them time to get home and watch the game on TV from the comforts of their couch?

Maybe instead of donating some money to the football department, you should hire an English tutor. Just a thought...

And, yes, lightning apparently was an issue as well as the rain. Enough with the outdoor games already!

I keep hoping against hope that when a new post comes up with your name attached to it, that it might be a decent legible comment. Alas, I'm always disappointed...

Yikes.

I called the Seahawks beating the Saints and the Sioux men sweeping CC in hockey. I'm thinking about opening my own sports-prediction business since I'm apparently psychic. Oh, so you talk a big ballgame but now you're 'not a coach.' Coulda fooled me since you're so smart.

Why don't you give Hakstol or Idalski a call? Maybe you can be some sort of consultant for the team. Of course, that means you'll have to give up your well-established career and lifestyle out there in the oil patch...

Like I said, you're a regular Rasputin. Now, quick, go google that so you know who he was. Nostrodamus, too, while you're at it.

HUH?

Just absolutely stunning that the Sioux can't sweep the #2-ranked team in the country in Madison, isn't it?
