YOU CAN'T SAY THAT ON THE AIR!

I actually knew Carrington was in that tournament...just thought that they won their opening game and then lost to Newburg and then lost to Watford City in the 3rd place ame. Your post reminded me that I was actually in the stands for the Carringon vs Langdon 5th place game. Now I'm left to figure out who wound up 4th...

Oak Grove Grovers? Steele-Dawson Pirates? Langdon Cardinals? Hmnnn...I can't remember the other first-round loss team from that year.

Groan. Had Newburg beaten Linton in either the 1984 or 1985 title games, I have no doubt my high school would have won the whole thing in 1986.

Not me personally...I was 7 years old at the time. Bonus points if anyone can answer what the high school was and what their co-op name is now.

Oh, come on...every kid's a winner and everyone gets a participation medal, right?

I'm assuming you mean Epping = North Dakota Hoosiers...but they weren't quite Hickory High. I'm not from there...but my high school also lost to Hillsboro in the state B boys basketball championship game. EDIT: Actually, my high school lost to Larimore in the 1978 title game and lost to Hillsboro in I believe the 1st round of the 1982 tournament.

1954? Wow, bakka, I thought I was an old-timer from the '80's! Nice to see that it's not all 18-20 year olds on here. How would you compare Hakstol's coaching to others you have watched? I'm curious to know... BTW...Epping High School?

Ok now that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.

Mark Messier won the Stanley Cup several times and Steve Young won the 1995 Super Bowl. How are they comparable to Charles Barkley? Michael Jordan pushed off Bryon Russell too. Offensive foul all day every day.

So the very same people who applauded Eades leaving are now critical of Hakstol for making the change...hmmmmnnnn. I saw BC play about a dozen times last season and there is ZERO doubt in my mind that from October thru March, the Eagles were clearly the class of the NCAA crop. You're dead wrong if you think UND was more talented than that BC squad.

Yea, that was a while ago too, unfortunately. It wouldn't seem so bad if Minnesota was stull stuck on 1979.

If Commie is still considered 'recent,' then he counts, but me thinks 2000 era is a little past the expiration date.

STILL at the bar, gfhockey?

Where are YaneA and NorthDakotaHockey when we need them?

Fire McCarthy! The Packers not winning the Super Bowl in the past two seasons is inexcusable!

BTW, passit, Red is almost 75 years old too. I also agree with keikla on Tim Whitehead. He was the sentimental choice after the untimely passing of Shawn Walsh, but I think a last-place HE finish might tilt opinions against him in a big way.

HHHEEYYYYYY-OOOOOHHHHHHHH!

I swear, your settings on siouxsports are set to 'notify me of ANYTHING MafiaMan says,' aren't they? I happen to have friends out in Ann Arbor who say the same thing I wrote. Nobody saw this train-wreck season coming. I didn't say I agreed with it, did I? Red's a legend and this season doesn't change that.

It's pretty unbelievable, isn't it? I love Ferris State's revival and I think the new WCHA won't be anyone's whipping boy next season.

Puck bunny...always loved that term. I swear, 1/3 of the crowd these days at Wild games fits that description to a T.

Where are the folks on this board who were ecstatic that Carey Eades was let go? I seem to recall reading here that he was a 'problem'.

Or start Michigan State ones. That team is dreadful.

Why will they be ready to roll while a Sioux team facing similar adversity is apparently set to mail the rest f the season in? Michigan's done. D-O-N-E done.

That sucks.
