BC owned the space between the blue lines last night. I'm still depressed this morning. Go Green! Go White! Go State!

I'm normally a Maine guy, but for some reason, I'm pulling for Rick Comley today. He's one of the true good guys of college coaching and Spartan fans have really been rough on him since he came there from Northern Michigan University.

I'd hardly say that losing three straight opening round series to the team that eventually became the Western Conference champion (Anaheim 2003, Calgary 2004, Edmonton 2006) would be considered 'choking'. Now, blowing a 3-2 series lead after your goalie pulls the 'Statue of Liberty' in game 6, then not even showing up for game 7 in a 7-0 white-washing? THAT should be considered a choke! Whoops!

Cue the video, please. 1997 Red Wings vs Avalanche - Patrick Roy and Mike Vernon 1998 Red Wings vs Avalanche - Patrick Roy and Chris Osgood McCarty's Revenge

The only thing more perfect than a Sioux victory and the Goonalanche in the playoffs would be a Sioux victory and Colorado playing the Red Wings in the first round of the playoffs.

Awwwwww...I'm sorry.

Hey, we can't all enjoy the benefits of working at Arby's like you, Rwtd.

Sometimes it's good to be single!

I'm planning on bolting out of here at 2:00 pm.

It's 10:45 am, folks. Is there ANYONE planning on feeling a little ill around 2:30 pm and meeting me in Bloomington at Joe Senser's?

I am frothing at the bit to watch some hockey today. Going to Senser's at 5:30 pm in anticipation of the Sioux 7:00 pm game just isn't going to cut it. Who wants to play some hookie with me and head there at 3:00 pm and watch the Maine/Michigan State game?

The Blues can take a look at that other kid from UMD who's had a pretty good year, too. What's his name...Brett Hull? Stick to football, Howie!

Ish. I think web sites that treat men like nothing more than a piece of meat are despicable. Back in a bit...I'm off to www.wildpartygirls.com!

At least breakfast at The Cracker Barrel was good.

The other bus drove straight thru. The "common joe" bus was the one that voted to stop. I voted with the minority.

Boon docks + no TV + no bars + no hockey fans would = www.girlsgonewild.com as opposed to ss.com for me.

Well, with all due respect, SOME OF US in the group thought it would be unwise to stop for breakfast as we're used to the possibilities of what can happen on roads in big cities...

5,570 posts, Sioux-cia? Good freakin' grief!

If the Sioux pull off a win Thursday, AZSIOUX is going to find some BC fans and ease their pain by taking a ticket or two off their hands...and I'll be making a last-second road trip!

Isn't Hrbosky's place right down the street from Don Denkinger's? Did Jeff from Finley make the trip again this year? Anyone on the Sioux bus from Columbus in 2005?

I plan on being in Bloomington tomorrow night!

Unlike 2005, though, I suggest not listening to the "traffic, what traffic?" segment of the bus that wanted to stop for breakfast instead of continuing on to Columbus. You don't want to miss the entire first period of the Maine/Michigan State game.

I know you are all wondering...no, I didn't make the bus today in GF, Fargo, Sioux Falls, or anywhere else. 99% chance though that if the Sioux win on Thursday, I'll figure out a way to get to St Louis by Saturday night. Safe travels, everyone!

I knew you'd see it my way.
