Western Michigan upsets Bowling Green. You heard it here first.

Promise or not, it all depends on the legislature. It does seem odd, though, that when Minnesota comes calling, things get built (such as the new football stadium), but anything outside of the Twin Cities, it seems that "is that really necessary?" gets asked a lot.

Listen, I'm all in favor of leaving politics out of the mix, but when you're going to thru something out like "Pawlenty's a douche," it deserves a rebuttal.

In fact, let me help you out in case you can't find the link... Helping Homeowners with ARMs

Whatever. Check out www.twincities.com and read about Minnesota DFL'ers screaming "home-owner rights". Their poster child at a meeting yesterday is a "single mother of 10" who is going to lose her home thanks to an adjustable rate mortage. Don't call Pawlenty's office and whine about BSU. Call Keith Ellison.

Hmnnnnn...so that's what beaver pads look like?

I did some research...after UND lost on Friday to Denver 6-3 and Minnesota won their Friday night game, the cup was packed up and shipped to Mariucci. UND lost to Denver 5-0 on Saturday night and Minnesota won their game, clinching a tie for 1st place.

So the WCHA re-claimed it a week later after the Sioux lost at Denver on a Friday night just in case Minnesota happened to win on Saturday night and the Sioux lost?

Sorry about chucking up another horrible playoff interception, guys. My bad!

I'm fairly certain the Cup resides at the winner's school until the league reclaims it. I've seen it displayed in Mariucci Arena (the old one) before as well as UND. In 1997, the Sioux led the WCHA most of the way and were awarded the Cup I believe in Denver on a Friday night after clinching at least a tie. The next day, the cup was shipped to Minneapolis in the event of a Gopher win and a Sioux loss, which would make Minnesota co-champions. It happened...and the Gophers skated with the MacNaughton on Saturday night. I believe the Sioux were the #1 seed for the tournament and they enacted revenge several weeks later, winning a 4-3 thriller in OT at the old St Paul Civic Center. If memory serves me right, UND kept the cup for 1/2 a season and then sent it to Minnesota.

Well who wants to join me?

Why guys who grow up wearing a full cage don't continue to do so once they go pro is beyond me. If 40 stitches and a knocked-out tooth is worth being called "macho," then feel free to call me a wussy boy. Don't take this as a knock on Toews...I just don't understand the macho culture of risking severe inury to your face or eyes.

Someone jump on Joe Senser's and get them to set this up! I can't make the 7:05 pm Sioux/St Cloud start-times as my son has hockey on Friday night until 8:00 pm and again Saturday night until 8:00 pm, but I'd love to show up later and watch Denver pull a rabbit out of their hat!

I actually liked both goalies from the 1997 team. Schweitzer for stepping in and leading the team to the title and Toby K for graciously accepting his role with the team and not complaining. The picture of Toby on the bench hugging Dean Blais near the end of the Sioux/BU game in 1997 is one I won't soon forget.

Aaron Schweitzer!

Yea, I can try to set something up. Whaddya got in mind?

Wow, anything else?

Oh yea. My bad.

The Sioux really need to keep up the pressure in the 3rd period. Let's get the win and hope Michigan Tech and Minnesota State can help UND out later this evening.

Who asked you, Buzzkill?

Would it have been so wrong of me to blow off my kid's mites game today against Jefferson and accept NorthDakotaHockey's ticket offer and drive to Duluth?

I'll be getting #19 on mine. While that was property of Russ Romaniuk during my hey-day at UND, I'll be going with my favorite name on the back...my own.

I'm shocked to read this.
