MafiaMan

Maine fans at the FF in Columbus couldn't say enough good things about UND. It would be nice to see the Black Bears make the trip to Grand Forks again in the not-too-distant future.

I believe the NCAA suspended Paukovich for the game against Colorado College and DU suspended him for the opening game of the NCAA tournament.

Pretty funny, PCM. I think the appropriate line here though is: I'm not a moderator...but I do play one on TV.

Yea, but the early word on the MafiaMan prototype is that when you make his head bobble, his right arm automatically pops up with a dollar for the stripper.

Um....probably not!

I've mentioned stuff like this before countless times, Fedorov. Apparently, GrahamKracker and others on the opposite side of this issue feel that American Indians who voice their own opinion and cheer for teams like the Seminoles, Utes, Fighting Sioux, and Indians are sell-outs and uncle toms.

YaneA obviously DIDN'T stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Max Osceola said it best himself: "Here's another example of non-Indians telling Indians what's good for them." Link to entire article containing the quote is here: Max Osceola Comments

Back to the original topic...I did purchase the Sioux fan bobble head at the REA Pro Shop last winter. It's pretty cool, especially since Forever Collectibles did the design. They have done "Legends of the Hardwood" and "Men of the Ice" along with "Cooperstown Heroes" and others. Could you imagine a "Legends of the Sioux" series with stars of the past and present? They could sell thousands of those things.

A Cracker Jack box diploma? Why that carries about as much weight as a degree from St Cloud State!

...but you did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night?

I agree as well. It's amazing how Major League Baseball struggles to figure out why kids don't like baseball anymore. I remember spending my lunch money buying several packs of Topps baseball cards in the hope of getting an Ozzie Smith, Reggie Jackson, or Bob Boone card in the 1980's. Then greed took over and now you can't find packs of cards. Of course, you can buy a box now with about 10 cards in it if you're an 8 year old with $20 in your pocket. As for the bobblehead craze, I thought it was out of control when I saw Woody Hayes bobbles on Ebay going for $250. Lucky for me, I found one on there at the bargain price of $85.

By the time this ends, there will be 18 "exemptions" and the NCAA will still crow about sticking to its guns. Good work, NCAA. you continue to make fools of yourselves. Now go do something meaningful and help Cincinnati fire Bob Huggins. Yea, the same Coach Huggins who has yet to graduate a single "student-athlete" in his 14 years of coaching the Bearcats.

Bobbleheads...a great idea until 30-40 year old men grab piles and piles of them while 3-4 year old kids go away disappointed.

I'm being semi-facetious. Can we drop the puck early?

Now that's funny. Did you hear in the new Star Wars movie that Darth Vader might be Luke Skywalker's father?

I liked the comment by Todd Bertuzzi about how it took four guys to put the jersey on him. I'm guessing it was made more difficult to put that jersey on while you're busy smashing someone's face on the ice. Seriously, though, those black and red jerseys are among the worst hockey jerseys I have ever seen.
