Fireworks, no. Mimosas, yes. Some freshman probably getting that third thing right about now…

Hmnnn…tempting, tempting.

I dunno…how far north are we talking here, like 5-7 miles or 20-25?

Not jersey related but we really don’t have a “swap meet” or “for sale” section other than for tickets. I need about 50 orders for another batch of keychains (see photo). $5 each + postage if I can get enough pre-orders!

I can already hear the demands for the NHL to fork over, er, “contribute” money, to keep the league going.

Because we had a 3rd grader who was considering going to UND but can’t because the meanies in suits disbanded the program?

FBS vs FCS and FCS vs NAIA one week apart from each other. The drop-off from the top to the bottom is astounding. Hopefully UND is busy focusing on upcoming FCS opponents instead of worrying about the woulda, coulda, and shoulda of Boise State.

I’m trying to wrap my head around how folks think a middle-of-the-road FCS team would roll into Boise and expect to walk away with a W. SDSU or NDSU might be able to do that - but it’s still a BIG maybe.

Florida doesn’t care about football? Surely, you jest. The fact that the other two schools who “could care less about football” absolutely whooped two FCS schools kind of proves my point, doesn’t it?

Yea, when I think “Power 5,” Louisville and Indiana are right up there.

Some FBS/FCS scores from last weekend for you: Florida 49, McNeese State 7 Louisville 56, Murray State 0 Indiana 41, Indiana State 7

Yep, sure is. And realistically when it’s FCS vs FBS, there’s about a 1 in 25 chance of that.

Did you really expect UND to beat a decent FCS team today? I didn’t. $650K check collected, mission accomplished.

Or else looking real SMART by drafting their franchise QB with the last pick in the NFL draft…

No, James Bonds, Barry’s older brother.

You’re trying too hard, Sun Devils. Ditch the unnecessary round patch or put it on the shoulder. Maroon breezers. 3 CCM logos and 3 Adidas logos on the uniform set is ridiculous. I think my work here is done.

Why would I want them?

I would make that trade by 5:30 pm central time.

I agree with you on Michigan Tech but sadly, they were among the non-like-minded schools that UND wanted to get rid of. Bowling Green being in would have greatly helped out Miami. I think Air Force and Mankato would have been appealing candidates as well.

Notre Dame would have been a great choice. Tossing them out of the equation, who would have been your pick in place of SCSU?

We both know that SCSU was admitted for two reasons: #1. Because Notre Dame said, “no thanks” and #2. A nice thank you to SCSU “consultant” Gino Gasparini Are you suggesting that SCSU was a terrible selection a decade ago? That’s some pretty impressive hindsight.

So the “National” Collegiate Hockey Conference, which so desperately wanted to be spread across the country, now seeks to become more “regional” with Bemidji State, St. Thomas, Augustana, etc.? Hell, why don’t we just grab Mankato and Michigan Tech and put the whole WCHA band (minus Wisconsin and Minnesota obviously) back together again while we’re at it?

Do you really think that’s possible?

I’m a little perplexed at the rationale too.

So the hockey team committing to the NCHC followed by ASU leaving for the B1G…which would prompt the hockey team to leave the NCHC before ever playing a conference game or be a one-and-done conference team. Not a bad look for the NCHC?
