Can you imagine the Women's Frozen Four involving North Dakota, Minnesota, Boston College, and Boston University...being played in Columbus, Ohio? Attendance: 750. That's why. Minnesota's accomplishment was impressive...but not having to leave your own arena for the whole entire tournament certainly helped them.

Cue the Benny Hill music...

Imagine Major League Baseball after 162 games picking the top NL team and the top AL team to play ONE GAME to determine its champion...Dave Hakstol is right, the fans AND players deserve better than stale regionals a thousand miles from the top seed's home.

Not nearly as funny as the early 1990's after the Islanders' jersey change when Rangers fans would chant 'fiiiiish sticks...fiiiiish sticks..."

So let's say UND can's Hakstol today...how do you think the coaching-go-round would shake out?

...and that's why I can't see him taking the OSU job.

Cratter and bigskyvikes, you guys need to get out more if you think Little Caesar's is quality pizza...the crazy bread is yummy though.

My point was that there are age limitations...

And what happens when the #1 seed is in Houghton, Michigan, and not one opponent but THREE are trying to make travel arrangements to the UP?

No national titles since 2005. What a travesty, eh Peg? DU was a doormat for years and Gwoz brought your school back from the dead. Oh well, maybe the next head coach will put your cracking egg logo back on the jerseys and re-kindle the 'Pioneer' spirit.

So you're sayin' there's no chance of me advancing up in the ranks, eh? I'm forever Member #43.

I believe Bob Corkum being named the 'interim' coach at Maine is pretty much the kiss of death...

CHRIS MATTHEWS: "Well, Michael, tax day today. That came up. You know, I was thinking of all the iconic events that are being told about today. Of course I knew it was tax day because I got them in. But of course, it's Patriots Day. It's also the Boston Marathon. And would you as an expert be thinking domestic at this point? I don't think tax day means a lot to the Arab world or Islamic world or certainly not to al Qaeda in terms of their world. It doesn't have iconic significance." “I was just thinking, again, it’s early; it’s an early situation, but going after the Kennedy Library, not something at Bunker Hill, not something from the freedom trail or anything that kind of historic, but a modern political figure of the Democratic Party,” he said, “Does that tell you anything?” No worries, Oxbow6, sounds like Chris has a pulse on who the REAL culprits are...

Liar! I saw you at the X for the Final Five just a few weeks ago, Goon, so, yes, you actually DID walk across the street to watch Wisconsin play hockey!

So do I have anyone else wanting the black hat with the kelly green Hogg on it? I'll need 5 more orders of those in order for Goon to get his.

Not only has that already been posted, I'm the one who posted it! LOL!

Or, more likely, the coach wanted more of a commitment to men's hockey and was told to take a hike.

Love the white version, Big A HG. Nice work.

I have word that artwork for black, grey, dark green, and pink hats will hopefully be available and displayed here within a week.

You're confusing me Goon. I can order as many hats as I want...but there has to be 6 of each embroidery design to make that happen with no additional charges. So I need 6 Hogg hats with the green hogg. Capece?

I have one of the grey hats with a purple IceHogg on it and the purple really 'pops' off the grey. I think the kelly green in the SiouxSports logo would look good on grey as well. Hell, it'd probably look good on Heather too. Just sayin'.

Exactly. Gwoz can be a big fish in a little pond on campus in Orono...or he can be a 'who's that guy?' in Columbus.

OK, folks, bad news on the kelly green. Port Authority does not offer kelly green as a color and the only vendor that does charges almost twice the amount of what the Port Authority hats go for. I prefer sticking with one particular type of hat to make cost easier...I don't think the forest green would look bad but my preference would be the grey.

You want the IceHogg on it? If I get 6 total of those I can do an order too. The IceHogg is my broomball team logo...two-time state outdoor champ and one-time state indoor champ.

You're assuming Ohio State wants to throw big bucks at its hockey program. I guess we'll find out...
