I bet he gets a home sweep before you post a positive comment.

Just like clockwork...

Of course it does. But I'm not sure I would trade the success of the past 13 years for 10 years of .500 it below mediocrity, a couple of Frozen Fours, and a national title.

Duluth is 4-18-3 in Grand Forks during the Sandelin era. Isn't this the part where gfhockey chimes in demanding that Hak be canned for his failure to win those 7 games? I've got UMD winning tonight 4-3. Wait. Double not-so-fast-my-friend. Sioux 4-2 again. Raise the sticks.

Lance Renville! That cat was hotter than a pistol in that whole tournament.

I was wondering the same thing when you've got a great match-up between long-time rivals UMD and UND...and you opt to show Nebraska-Omaha and Michigan instead?

Things haven't gotten any better since you and Wilbur told the '97 team my home address. Was awakened at 3:30am this morning by the sound of a car with Nebraska BLAISER license plates peeling down the street after leaving a flaming bag of pooh on my porch.

I get hate e-mail from Jason Blake every year on the anniversary of that loss...

I'll take those words to my grave, Wilbur..."pack up the bus...we're comin' to Boston!" Some nights, I wake up in a cold sweat to that nightmare.

Hmnnnn...for all the doomsday preppers on this site whining about last week's performance in Omaha, maybe the Mavericks aren't as bad as originally thought? Or should Red Berenson have been fired 10 minutes after last night's game ended?

UNO! UNO!

Maine takes Boston U out behind the woodshed tonight 7-0.

Game update: 1 point for the Sioux, 0 for the Bulldogs.

Yea, 2004. 2005 was the BC and BU region of death out east and the all-WCHA Frozen Four.

Just looked it up...Sioux 3-0 winners over Holy Cross on March 26, 2004.

1983 Black Devils...Teddy Uecker and Bill Butterfield...great team.

It wasn't 2005...that was the Beanpot Regional in Boston that led to the Columbus Frozen Four.

The Sacred Heart reference is a Hoggsbreath club insider joke (thanks to Wilbur's dad) and UND played HC in a regional a couple years before 2006. Tony tossed his cookies in the net during the game. Good times.

Not as bad as the Mott-Regent Wildfire!

Poorly worded question...new co-op name is Hettinger-Scranton Night Hawks. RIP Black Devils (greatest ND high school nickname in ND this side of Starkweather Storm Kings) and Scranton Miners. Fire Hakstol.

The new name of the co-op between Scranton and Hettinger High Schools...

I like bananas on my waffles!

Part of the tour at my dad's ship reunion in 2001 included a ceremony aboard the USS Kidd, which is permanently harbored in Baton Rouge, LA. The tour group included plenty of duffers from the Korea and Vietnam era. I believe it was the Epperson's former captain and several other crew members who climbed over a chain link "DO NOT ENTER" area to try to get to the ship's bridge. A young tour guide promptly comes over and tells them "I'm sorry, you can't go up there." A Navy vet from Baton Rouge who was serving as the unofficial director of the group heard the commotion, walks over to the tour guide and calmly says "son, you let these men go where ever they want on this boat." The kid promptly nodded his head. I couldn't help but chuckle. At the 2007 reunion's closing dinner (Louisville, KY), the brother of Private Harold Epperson, the ship's namesake, served as keynote speaker. Harold died while diving on a grenade to save some of his fellow soldiers. The brother was 2 or 3 years old when Private Epperson died in 1944 - he never knew him. When the ship was sent to Seattle for de-commissioning and eventual sale to Pakistan, the men of the ship voted to use their enlisted men's fund (normally used for blowing off steam, so to speak, when in port) to fly Harold's mother and sister to Seattle so they could say good-bye to the Epperson. Just a couple more stories I thought I would throw into this thread...Go Navy. Beat Army. .

We played the Grovers in the first game of the tournament up in Minot too. Oak Grove...eliminated. Hanson, Valpo, bust.

1986...stupid effing Kramer-Maxbass-Newburg Eagles and Kevin Bierman and Paul Demke. Can't remember the kid's name but Watford City had a guy score like 40+ against us in the 2 or 3 OT semi-final match-up. Instant classic. Great game. Where did Glen Ullin finish in 1987? I think they lost their quarterfinal game, didn't they?
