Good read with his picks for the WCHA individual awards, and his picks for all WCHA teams. Also some good stuff on other teams in the conference. From the Grand Forks Herald

I loved listening to the press conference... especially when Rocky cited some of his goals. You know... high graduation rates, outstanding player/ community relationships, etc. (all those things typical of Rocky Hager football)

Its starting to unfold like a potential Sioux-Bulldog semi-final... scary.

Yeah... let's blame Kupchella. Nobody seems to like him anyway!

Out of state residents who are ND land owners certainly should be given certain exemptions when it comes to hunting and fishing regulations. Period. As far as anyone else, I like the rules that have recently been implemented regarding out of state fees. Its about f'ing time we caught up with the rest of the upper midwest in the governing of our natural resources, instead of giving them away like we have done for too many years in the past. BTW: The lawsuit will get laughed out of court... unless MN wants to sue South Dakota, Iowa, Montana, etc. too... as well as change there own management policies. More trash clogging the legal system if you ask me.

Its okay, jakester! In my adolescent years, we also "went to Forks" on weekend evenings. Must be a local small town thing, albeit incomplete & moronic. Similarly, if I went to Dean Blais' house, I could say the following: I went to the Blais'. I went to Dean's. Either way, it works...

It's true... the FBI will make you wear a collar on the golf course all the time. (bastards) Now as for your little betting game, I'm in.

If they're practicing in the REA of Thief River Falls, which has a capacity almost the same as MacInnes Student Ice Arena, I'm sure they feel right at home.

UMD @ 10:1 Maine @ 6:1 Tony... put a duece on 'em...

One of the worst rules they ever came up with, IMHO. They need to get rid of this asap.

North Dakota (duh) Wisconsin (not really, but I'd hate to try to beat UMD for a 6th time this season. They're good.) Boston College (although it could be tough getting past UNH) Minnesota (again, not really. The gophers would just be easier to beat than the Black Bears)

That one is still a tough pill to swallow.

I heard about it on the radio, thanks diggler for the link. Wow. Cheap to the extreme. Someone's butt is going to fry for this one. (as it should) Is Moore okay, or still in tough condition?

I second the nomination. (it does look like Tallackson)

Good point. With the new NCAA rules, we don't hear about injuries like we used to. Who knows?

Just noticed, the wcha.com website had the 2001-2002 schedule up... sorry for the bad info...

$20.00? Alright... you're on. Consider it a bet.

Deal.

Sorry... I meant no offense.

I think it would be a great game, even if we had to travel. After all, we have plenty of home games already for this year.

I was thinking that too. I'll be honest, I love it when U of M gets theirs, but I certainly couldn't cheer about it on Friday night. I think the loud cheering was from the hockey illiterates... you could hear the disapproval of the real fans among the noise. Aside, there was certainly a loud cheer in Duluth on Saturday when they announced a 4-1 CC lead over UND. Talk about pumping up a crowd and the team. There was no stopping UMD after that. I have to say, my first trip to the DECC was a blast. They have a great atmosphere in that building... I certainly will be back. I have to admit, the gopher parents at the Holiday Inn were pretty cool too. Misery loves company.

I had no idea the coaches show was broadcast on the web. Since PCM spent so much time recapping all the shows for everyone, I assumed it wasn't available on-line.

Here's one site... USHL Stats Off topic: Looking at the stats page, what ever happened to Beiswenger? It seems he did a nice job backing up Vicari... I haven't heard anything of him lately.
