Yeah... that Carrington kid a few years ago was absolutely worthless. He'd be in the NFL if he went to a larger school... oh wait...

Don't have the potential? What a joke. You forget how little difference there is between D-II, and DI-AA. (not D-I) You beat Montana, remember?

I thought this applied well to this thread... Issued by the North Dakota Tourism Bureau to ALL visiting Urbanites: 1. Don't order filet mignon or pasta primavera at Kroll's Kitchen. It's a diner. They serve breakfast 24 hours a day. Let them cook something they know. If you upset the ladies in the kitchen, they'll kick your ass. 2. Don't laugh at the names of our little towns (Minnewauken, Rolla, Gackle, Osnabrock, Cando, Walhalla, Zap, etc.) or we will just HAVE to kick your ass. 3. Don't order a bottle or a can of soda here. Up here it's called pop. Accept it. Doing otherwise can lead to an ass kicking. 4. We know our heritage. Most of us are more literate than you. We are also better educated and generally a lot nicer. Don't refer to us as a bunch of hicks or we'll bust your ass. 5. We have plenty of business sense. You have to to make a living up here. Naturally, we do sometimes have small lapses in judgment, but we are not dumb enough to let someone move to our state in order to run for the Senate. If someone tried to do that, we would kick their ass. 6. Don't laugh at our giant fiberglass cows and our turtles made out of car parts. Anything that inspires tourists to buy 50,000 postcards can't be bad. When you're in Jamestown, don't point at the genitalia on the giant buffalo or we'll kick your ass. 7. We are fully aware of how cold it gets here in the winter, so shut the hell up. Just spend your money and get the hell out of here or we'll kick your ass. 8. Don't order the vegetarian special at the local diner. Everyone will instantly know that you're a tourist. Eat your steak rare like God intended and have some potatoes with it, for heaven's sake! Also, don't ask what a hot dish is or you will get your ass kicked. 9. Don't try to fake a NoDak accent. We don't have an accent. Do NOT mention the movie "Fargo" as that will incite a riot and you will get your ass kicked. 10. Don't talk about how much better things are at home because we know better. Many of us have visited big-city hell-holes like Minneapolis, New York, and LA, and we have the scars to prove it. If you don't like it here, Northwest Airlines is ready when you are. Move your ass on home. 11. Yes, we know that ice fishing is "not your thing." We don't care. If you don't understand the beauty of being out on a lake when it's 10 degrees then you should go home and try fishing in New York Harbor. Also, don't hog the heater in the fish house or we'll kick your ass. 12. Don't complain that North Dakota is flat and that there aren't enough trees. If you whine about OUR scenic beauty we'll kick your ass all the way back to Cleveland. 13. Don't ridicule our mannerisms. We only speak when spoken to. We hold doors open for others. We offer our seats to old folks because such things are expected of civilized people. Behave yourselves around our sweet, little grey-haired grandmothers or they will kick some manners into your ass just like they did ours. 14. So you think we're quaint or losers because most of us live on the prairie? That's because we have enough sense to not live in filthy, smelly, crime-infested cesspools like New York or LA. Make fun of our fresh air and we'll kick your ass. 15. Last, but not least, DO NOT DARE to come out here and tell us how the prairie should "go back to the buffalo." This will get your ass shot. Just mention this once and you will go home in a pine box. Minus your ass. Enjoy your visit in the Peace Garden State!

It sounds like 10 games in the regular season, with 7 of them at home! That's a whole lot of tailgating!

The team has one-on-one meetings this week... Just in time, IMHO.

CB on the radio this morning said when he spoke with him, there wasn't much pain, although he also mentioned sometimes that is not a good thing. Other than that, no further word...

Agreed... if it didn't happen, people wouldn't waste their time writing letters. Like all places, we have our a-hole fans too...

Diggler, you are a genious. REA needs that one on the big screen, accompanied by "theme music"...

Except pour a concrete garage slab for your new home...

So prospective conference affiliates can expect horse-heads in their beds? You just might get into a conference yet! Certainly there is risk involved with UND staying DII, yet I don't think it is as significant as the risk NDSU is taking. The risk UND takes on is that of the DII structure, and the changes made to it. Overall, not anything big... at least not at this point. By staying DII, we are not jeopardizing gate $, competitiveness, or alumni donations... all of which I believe will be affected at NDSU, given their current situation. As a leader nationally in DII, I think things look pretty good. At least for the moment. Certainly, if drastic changes are made to the DII structure, which aren't in the interest of UND, I'm sure we'd jump on board. I just don't think it has gotten "bad enough" to consider leaving at this point.

It's a Good Night for Hockey II I thought this was kind of entertaining... (ffwd to 8:00) ...some good funnies on Brandt, Woog, & Mazzacco.

You guys went to class?

All indoor ice is thin. (ideally) Whether the concrete is white, black or red... the ice is still only about 1/4" or so... what the heck are they talking about?

Considering the information came in a column next to this...

Looks like you're right in front!

1,2,3,4,5,7,8 and 9.

It would be hard to have a rivalry with a school having no history/ tradition in that sport. Besides, the blowouts would get old. (well maybe routine, not old )

Right. That should read worthless hack.

Gosh... must be lots of rich casino owners making trouble for him again...

Lets hope they keep the past in the past.

In the interviews and such that I've heard, I interpret it differently. Never has Blais mentioned that Bochenski will not get his backing. In fact, he's put it quite to the contrary, stating that he is probably the best candidate right now in the nation. The references that I've heard about Parise is that if he wants to seriously contend for the HB, he needs to start scoring some points. Never have I heard him say anything to make me believe that Parise is his "choice" for the Hobey. Have I missed something in the coaches show?

Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken, but I believe it works the same as it did at the old REA.

Isn't that educational. Can you please get off the stage now?

UND 45 UMN 36 UMD 34 UW 33 SCSU 32 CC 26 Denver 24 AA 20 Mankato 18 MTech 12 Wow... should be a great Final Five tournament.
