  1. I took Monday off, hopefully that doesn't jinx the team.  4 in a row just seems like a lot for these guys.  Although I feel a lot better after last weekend and watching the "Behind these doors".  Hopefully we beat these clowns make it to the Target Center so I don't have to decide whether or not to go to that!!     :D

    The great thing about UND hockey, is even now, when we appear to be in a crazy downward spiral, I still look forward to Friday and Saturday nights. Maybe its the hockey, maybe it is drinking a few beers, maybe its both, maybe it is the break from every day life .... Always look forward to UND hockey though.

    Downward spiral may not be the right term. This team is actually playing much better as of late, but can not seem to get the win. Total domination with plenty of grade A chances against Western on Saturday. Seems like we keep running into the hot goalies as of late. Just hoping this weekend finally turns a corner. Given our results the past month, I certainly don't expect us to win the next 4, but if we do then I like our chances for the NCAA tourney. Otherwise we may need to have some success in the NCHC playoffs and likely the NCHC tourney.

    The thing is, while yes, we seem to be playing better and the goalies have been good, I really feel like we're going out of our way to make the goalies look like rock stars as well.  After being in Colorado Springs and watching last weekend, to me it seems like we are really hesitating before taking shots.  I know it's only a split second most of the time, but it's pretty noticeable.  The goal Gersich had on Sat. night he skated in the zone and shot quickly, he didn't stop, go to his backhand, then forehand and then shoot.  At least 4-5 times a game there are passes that should be one-timed (or at least one-time attempted) that are being held for that split second that's giving these goalies time to cover minor mistakes.  We really just need to be a little bit more aggressive.  Sometimes, Boeser skates in the zone and looks like he just can't decide what to do w/ the puck.  The lazy backhand passes aren't cutting it.  Make the decision you're going to the net and go.  Is anyone else seeing this or is it just me?

  3. I agree w/ Siouxstudent.  I really just wanted an actual thing. . . I wouldn't have cared if it was a Fog Horn Leghorn looking thing.  Something w/ some character that I didn't have to make up a background for just to put it on something.  But what did we expect, I guess, from a company that came up w/ a Red L for the University of Louisville.

  4. The problem is . . . you can't punt against the Bison.  You have to score first and keep scoring.  Go for it on 4th down.  If they're more than 1 or 2 scores behind, they can't be doing those crazy 20 minute drives and Stick has to throw the ball.  As soon as SDSU punted on their first 4th down, they were hosed. 

  5. They made a comment early about the Jacks going for it on 4th down 6 times when they beat them last time...they should have went for that first 4th down and kept going.  you have to score early and keep the pedal down against these guys....get them playing from behind and forcing things. why can't anyone figure that out?  this game just makes me madder about our offense last sat.

    So a girl is getting her arm amputated because of an explosion at the protests. I find the story that law enforcement threw a concussion grenade that caused it, but the police saying the protesters mad explosive that did it sounds more realistic.

    Gee, same girl maybe?

    I'm actually really upset. . . I've always wanted to see Bonnie Raitt and now I can't go . . . The concert's on Nov. 27th, though and there's supposed to be a "Siberian Cold Front" the week of Thanksgiving. . . I don't think there will be many protesters left to go to the concert!!

  8. It's amazing the Army Corp is finally drawing a line somewhere. . . it's a good thing they kicked them out last week.  It's easier to defend a place (especially w/ a moat/creek!) than to kick people out of it.

  9. It's actually a double pipe (pipe within a pipe) with sensors in between and emergency shut off valves on both sides of the river.  100 feet below the riverbed, I think it's pretty safe to say this isn't going to be the Exxon Valdez, guys.  Also people don't realize how many pipes are already under all our rivers. They always make it sound like this is the first time anyone's ever done anything so horrendous.

     

     

     

  10. I just really hope we win this one . . . my 3 year old is going to Pre-school today circling her finger in the air and spouting that the Bison better watch out cuz "the Hawks are circling".  (Her teacher is a BIG Bison fan and is always wearing Bison stuff on Fridays, we, of course, wear Sioux stuff on Fridays).  I just don't know WHERE she gets this stuff.  ;)

    I recently attended an event on the topic of sustainability. My assumption was that there would be presentations and discussions about limiting wastefulness and promoting renewable forms of energy, but most of the speakers pivoted towards Standing Rock. At one point it was mentioned that the Tribal members had plenty of winter clothes, blankets and food, but what they really needed were gas cards. I had to wonder to how many people in attendance the irony of this statement was lost.

    I actually understand how the Standing Rock population feels like they are being dumped on, but it seems to me that their angst should be directed at their leadership for opting out of the public comment phase of the permitting process. Had their leadership expended as much effort at opposing the permit as the local population is now expending on protesting, the permits probably would not have been approved.

    Also, just a note. . . you really have to be aware of what's going on w/ the latest environmentalist "buzz word".  Any research you do on the subject will inevitably lead you to population control.  It's not just humans "polluters" that are bad, it's all humans in general and there needs to be a limit on how many are on the earth.  But no one ever really reads up on this stuff.  That's why you'll see more and more big companies and corporations changing their tiny print tag-lines from "a green company" to a "sustainable company", not because they have any idea what it means, they just want to be the right kind of "pc cool".   

  12. Couple things. . . they're moving their water intake 70 miles south (because of low water, I believe) in the next month or two.  They've killed at least 30 cows and last week, shot a horse and mutilated it to retrieve the bullet.  They've dumped sugar in tractor tanks, and spray painted the pick up of a farmer just driving down his long drive way to his house.  The farmers and ranchers down there are not happy.  On a funnier note, in the Bismarck Tribune yesterday, the protesters asked the city of Cannonball if they could move their camp from the river bottoms to a spot north of town and the leaders told them that it would take at least 2 years to sort out all the paperwork to give them permission.  I don't think the Indians that live down there want these freaks around any more.  :) 

    P.S.  Only 9% of the protesters arrested before yesterday are from North Dakota. 

     

  13. I was a little disappointed that the TV info wasn't on the schedule poster this year. . . a lot of guys at work have me grab them so they know when the games are on channels besides Midco (most of them have Dish).  Still a cool poster.  :)

     

  14. So, this may sound like a dumb question, but what's the deal w/ the $300 million they raised a couple years ago?  Is it an Alumni Association thing?  And isn't it sitting somewhere making a ton of interest?  If so, isn't 1.4 million a pittance in the whole scheme of that and can't someone say, "Hey, we'll help you out?" for a couple years?  Ok, that was more than one dumb question.  ;)
