  1. Fixed my post. LOL.
  2. Boys, boys, boys...both should be banned under the EO. No worries.
  3. Again, it's all opinion. I'm not sure what you're arguing.
  4. By the sounds of things, we'll have an Executive Order forthcoming in a few days to take care of that nasty little 2nd Amendment issue...
  5. So if I'm a drug dealer in Chicago and want to sell my gun to a drug dealer in Gary, IN, I have to complete a background check first? Sounds like a lot of hassle...
  6. WSJ opinions on hockey arenas... http://online.wsj.co...2675400454.html Montgomery comments on 'storied past and tradition at Denver...' Talk about a cliche comment these days... http://www.uscho.com...tion-at-denver/ I never questioned UND fanst traveling well...but as far as REA and all its splendor, I'm far more comfortable sitting in a backless seat at Yost than I am at REA. I was a season ticket holder at REA for several years...my row consisted of about 50 seats between aisles and I was close to the end. I'm scrunched into my seat like a sardine (I'm all of 5'10" and 185, ok, 200 pounds), and had to get up every 4 seconds for the 22 fans closest to my side of the aisle who wanted to grab a beer. Unlike the X, where ushers actually MAKE YOU WAIT UNTIL THE WHISTLE BLOWS BEFORE YOU RETURN TO YOUR SEAT, fans run rampant around REA constantly when the puck is in play. One game, I missed two goals because a beer-grabber decided to stop in front of me while watching the action. Then they're annoyed when you tell them to find their seat or get out of the way. No room for your legs when you're sitting...that's a big factor in terms of 'best arena' in my book. And I especially love how fans treat leather seats and cherry wood armrests by jumping all over them between periods...talk about a total lack of respect for the facility. Just my two cents.
  7. I never suggested this at all. What people (especially CNN and MSNBC) insinuated early on that since no group with Islamic ties claimed responsibility, that this was probably the work of right-wing folks. That's a fact, ESPECIALLY in the case of MSNBC's Matthews. My point is that if you're a group or individual trying to cause maximum damage and chaos, why WOULD you claim responsibility? Not knowing who or why certainly would cause more panic than someone revealing right away that the IRA, Shining Path, or any other group was taking credit for the attack. Speaking of who and why, remind me again why this is so important now and NOT in the case of Benghazi?
  8. But if we just ban guns, there won't be any more bad guys, right?
  9. I would say that several schools think they have the best tradition, best arena, and the best fans...that's very opinionated criteria you are using.
  10. Just being devil's advocate...both played for Gino Gasparini. Does that mean Gino was a 'good' coach in 1982 when Cary Eades was playing and suddenly lost it from 1988-1992 when Dave Hakstol was on the team? The 1990 team went to Boston and won the opening game of their three-game series. BU slogged down the ice the next two nights and UND lost both games and was eliminated. BU went on to the Frozen Four and lost to Colgate 3-2. The next two years, the team went steadily downhill...are you blaming THAT on Dave Hakstol too?
  11. MafiaMan

    Does Dave

    Hoogsteen Phooey...number one super guy! Hoogsteen Phooey...quicker than the human eye!
  12. So I can't move UP a notch but I can be DOWN-GRADED? Great...
  13. I'll just keep pointing out what I point out all the time...having tradition and a nice hockey arena doesn't guarantee success. I don't know why fans think that leather seats, fireworks, and laser shows should guarantee titles. UND did just fine before the new arena was built...maybe the coziness and comforts are too much?
  14. Right! Michigan vs Ohio State? No, we can't have that...we just had that over Thanksgiving and Michigan lost. No conference title means no BCS title. Flash-forward to LSU vs Alabama - well...the SEC has the best teams anyways...nevermind what happened a few years ago...
  15. I didn't even notice that I did that! A friend of mine and I were talking about newspaper headlines and that one immediately came to mind...he didn't believe me until I showed him the picture and words under it.
  16. But it COULDN'T possibly be that, Oxbow6! No group claimed responsibility for this! Oh, wait, what better way to cause more fear and terror than by watching the FBI and CIA try and figure out who it is! What could cause more chaos than not knowing?
  17. http://us.cnn.com/20.../?iref=obinsite Hidden in the news on CNN today... Chris Matthews to issue public apology for linking this to the bombing attacks and an attack on the Democratic Party... OK, the CNN story is true...Chris Matthews apologizing is not...
  18. No, what he's saying is that the media leans slightly to the left, which shouldn't come as much of a shock to anyone.
  19. I'd concur with that statement. Kids in the Bloomington Mite program are encouraged to play hockey year-round...lost a ton of baseball kids to that theory this summer...
  20. ...and here we go again with the 'tradition and best hockey arena in the history of civilization' as reasons why North Dakota should be winning NCAA champsionships by the bushel basket... Tennessee has the best football stadium in the land and the bestest fans anywhere...no, wait, it's Michigan football...oh, but throw tradition in there and we're talking Alabama...or was it Notre Dame...wait, Florida has the greatest fans...but Ohio State has the nicest stadium...are we talking day games or night games though because then it's LSU with the best stadium in the universe...I'm so confused...who should win the college football title every year?
  21. As well they should have. 'Suspect in custody'...'no, wait, our bad, just kidding'...
  22. Really? MSNBC jumping all over the 'man came here to kill people' comment by insinuating that the two came from somewhere else in the US to Boston...unbelievable.
  23. One down...one to go.
  24. Hey, I liked Alex P Keaton! What time is Lawrence Welk on?
  25. Whoa whoa whoa...this is a FAMILY-oriented web site!
