Oh if only the nickname had been changed twenty years ago, we wouldn't be in this predicament... Whatever. The NCAA has a burr in its saddle about Grand Forks, ND and probably always will.

Big East basketball sucks...UConn, Georgetown, Villanova, Syracuse, Marquette...those teams all suck. They lost 10 games at home. Call me when NDSU beats a team that went 256-0 at home since 2006-2007 and I might be impressed.

Put UND in NDSU's place last night...Irish win by 25. And if NDSU traveled to Miami tonight and beat the Heat, your first comment would be 'yea, well Dwayne Wade isn't a third of the player he used to be - I'm still not impressed.'

Please oh please be true!

31 times in the NCAA tournament...Austin Carr scored 61 points against Ohio in 1970...ended UCLA's 88 game winning streak in 1974...a 27-7 record in 2011...yea, they've never done anything special in basketball...

NDSU...leading off ESPN with a win at Wisconsin a few years ago...giving Kansas a run for its money in the NCAA's...and winning at Notre Dame tonight. I don't know about everyone else but I'm tired of playing catch-up to the Bison in everything but hockey.

My post was tongue-in-cheek. Then again, yours may have been as well!

So the Gophers lost?

Couldn't agree with you more on this one, gfhockey.

In other news...the definition of "bush league" should be immediately followed by the words "Florida Panthers" for now and evermore... http://nesn.com/2013/12/pane-of-glass-breaks-during-red-wings-panthers-game-arena-had-no-backup-glass-to-replace-it-photos/

LOL at BisoNation's twitter comment: "Those who stay will be champions." What was runner-up for that tweet? "Play like a champion today"? "Hunker down you hairy Bison"? "Roll Bison"? "War Bison"?

Patrick Kane's arrest was related to the cab driver's telling him he didn't have twenty cents in change to give him back - Kane had paid $15 for a $13.80 fare.

I will PM everyone with their total amount due AFTER I receive the bill from Coaches Choice and all hats have been reached their destination.

Paypal option should be 'transferring money to family or friends.'

Check or money order by US mail...and Paypal as long as its done the correct way and doesn't result in me being charged service fees.

OK, explained nicely. I agree with you on both counts - on AND off the ice.

Wait a second...just a while back, weren't you calling for Hakstol to change the 'business' approach to his coaching style and for him to lighten things up a bit? Now you want to know whether or not he has control over his players? Which one is it?

I'm hoping the hats arrive in time to be distributed in Grand Forks by YaneA this weekend...fingers crossed.

Blah blah blah...let it go already.

Just another reason why justice was dished out upon Ohio State and Urban Meyer by the Michigan State Spartans on Saturday night. Unbelievable to listen to the announcers and folks at ESPN after the game talking about how the Buckeyes were the superior team but just got outplayed by Michigan State. I didn't see it that way at all.

Thread-bomb: Also see: Shula, Don and everyone who has followed him at Miami since then. GRRR... Sorry, back to the discussion...

You never want to be the guy replacing a legend. It's much easier to replace the guy who replaces the guy who got canned for not adequately replacing the legend. See also: Bryant, Paul and Perkins, Ray as well as Hayes, Woody and Bruce, Earle.

The Vikings lost yesterday's game due to poor tackling. It could have been worse...did you see how the Steelers lost on the final play of the game? THE BAND IS ON THE FIELD! The Browns, however, lost thanks to some home-cooked officiating. What a terrible pass-interference call at the end of the game.

I'm not sure what's more stunning...finding out Bohl is leaving or you revealing yourself to be a 16 year old teenage girl!

Shouldn't you be over in NHL 2013 arguing with DaveK?
