Climatologically the crest isn't until 1/3 the way through April roughly, assuming you're in the FM area. I'm sure you already saw the article though: Linky There was a webinar hosted by the NWS today I listened in on, Fargo has a 30-40% chance of reaching 1997 levels and 20% chance of reaching 2009 levels. Sounds like major flooding throughout most of the midwest as well. Crazy, yet unfortunate, weather pattern we got sucked into this winter... again...

True, it's hard to put much stock in long range models, but it would seem that it won't be warming up for a while anyway. The stage is set, we'll have to see how it plays out. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

I sat through a NOHRSC (National Operational Hyrdrologic Remote Sensing Center) discussion about a month ago, they said flooding was almost a certainty, now the situation is even worse. There's another presentation today in Bismarck, I'll probably sit in on too. There's a general 5-6" of water sitting in the snow in the valley, the only thing we can hope for is a SLOW melt with ZERO rain. Situation is bleek, but there's still a lot that needs to happen before the world ends. It never hurts to be prepared though. Either way, we're in for a wild ride again. I'm sorry for all of you who are at risk, best of luck.

Your TV should have multiple PC inputs on it. VGA/S-Video/DVI are the 3 of the more common, then it's just a matter of having the right cable.

That explains a lot, this game looks like a shoot around at the outdoor rinks. I almost feel bead for the Russians, then I remember the Cold War

I love watching football on a wet, rainy, muddy field. I also like playing on such fields. That's classic rough and tough gridiron football, brusied, bloody and dirty!

Not sure if anyone will know, but Jordan Parise had a tryout contract with Klagenfurt in Austria that ended at the end of Janurary. Does anyone know if he got signed again or where he is at?

I bought a replica Blues jersey, the Preimer version, off NHL.com. The crest on the front was stitched and of moderate quality and the name/numbers were heat pressed plasticky material, they were pretty detailed though. It cost $100. I'm happy okay with it for now, but I'll be buying an EDGE soon, right after I get my Bllues Game Issued. I would assume the EDGE jeresys are made up to very high standards. The bottom line to ALL this, replica, authentic, game worn, counterfit, etc, etc, is you get what you pay for. Plain and simple.

Oh God... If you still haven't found one, no way in HELL I'll find one....

Not this again. Sorry but that's the same crappy thing that's been on eBay for forever and a day it seems. I first saw them in March last year, but that was when the Hawks played the Devils and Brodeur got the regular season wins record. So no green jerseys that year. They did make a practice jersey, but I don't recall them having names/numbers on them. Although I could be wrong on that. Double stiching and nice patches and fight straps, don't mean anything, and for this all it means is it's a well made counterfit (if you even want to call this one that). But a counterfit nontheless. I'll take the real deal over a well made fake anyday, no matter the price, and I'm not exactly rolling in the dough. It's a lot more satisfying for me to work hard save my money and purchase a quality product that I can show off with pride. Because face it that's the only reason we buy jerseys, to show them off. To be completely honest, even if there was a legit version of that jersey, I would not even think about, thinking about buying it. It's so ugly and awkward looking. The practice one looks much better to me anyway, and is an acutal 100% real Reebok product. But.... To each his own....

If we became the Flickers would an (in)famous picture of Hakstol be our new moniker? Understandable, Sun Dogs is a cool phenomena that happens around here, but yeah, that stupid dog. I don't see refracted light as being to marketable either (what would colors be, what would the uniforms look like? etc). And as for those Flickertails, they were pretty easy targets in every sense imaginable, and quite fun to "hunt." We'll see how things play out, only time will tell, nothing will be better than the Fighting Sioux in all our opinions, but at this point there's nothing we can do but sit and wait. I just hope we keep Green Black and White for athletic colors so i can get by without buying all new stuff

To tell you the truth I partially agree, I wouldn't be EXCITED if that was the new nickname, but I'd be moderatly satisfied. With how many of those poor little guys i "dispatched" this summer I suppose I owe it to honor them . I'm in the same boat with Sun Dogs, but then again I make my living as a Meteorologist, soooooo......

It will be interesting to see the updated model run. You figure there's probably another inch of water in that new snow, yikes! I'll go with, yes, I'm just along for the ride. It does beat talking about the Gophers in yet another thread about them. As well as the rumor factory that is Blais and him coaching every team besides UNO next year. Granted flooding has nothing to do with "Men's Hockey." Maybe I missed something, but isn't he under contract for next year?

At this point spring precip isn't a driving factor, the ground was saturated before it froze and the snow pack this year has high water content, major flood potential aready exists. It all depends on the metlt, the faster the worse the flooding. http://www.crh.noaa.gov/ahps2/period.php?w...10,7,8,2,9,15,6

Oh I agree it will be well within the "hockey code," my main emphasis was on taking points with us back to the Ralph. I as well doubt we'll be seeing any thing in the way of a donnybrook.

It goes without saying there will most likely be some sort of retaliation. If so, let's get it out of the way right away and focus on winning games. Febuary is going to be a stressful and hopefully exciting month. Go Sioux!

I'll believe that when me $*$# turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbet.

I am also looking for a Nike Swift. If anyone has a blank "team issued" swift that's what I am most interested in. Otherwise a X-XL replica would work as well. Shoot me a PM. Thanks all!

I've looked in the past and am 99% sure they are not. That almost exactly a year ago though. Email the Ralph maybe they'll be gracious enough to post it on their website or somewhere else. That would be cool to have it for those of us not fortunate enough to make the games.

Any way you slice the bread, he seems to have his head screwed on straight now, and it's great having him back.

That's aweful to hear. It does seem fairly odd, I'm almost certain he'd have a helmet on. Seeing as how the puck was "lobbed" it had to have been from hitting the ice. Who knows though? Sometimes it doesn't take much, all it has to do is hit the right spot.

Ahh gotcha. I was a little confused, which isn't an abnormal thing for me

You can still be upset with a team and remain positive. In no way does that mean you are happy with the status quo. It all depends on how you deal with adversity, do you look to the future or dwell on the past? That being a retorhical question.

A life long Viking fan with a Patroit avatar? Having a loud and rowdy croud could really get the guys pumped up, they play a full 60 why can't we scream and yell for a full 60?

I call 4 straight Frozen Fours, a MacNaughton Cup, a Broadmoor Trophy, Coach of the Year, 142-77-23 record (from wikipedia, not the best site but was easy) a helluva coach. How many teams in this country would give anything for that? Winning a national championship isn't something you just wake up one day do. It would seem there are some newcomers that joined only to piss and moan about Hakstol, being Sunday morning coach is easy, I'd like to see those of you do any better. I've heard of so many former players of Hakstol saying how great of a coach he is. I'll take their word for it over some moron, who just discovered the internet and decided to shoot their mouth off about something, in which, they have no first hand experience. Have any of us played for him? My guess is no. Since I don't either, I'll stick to the numbers which satisfy me right now. Sure like anyone I want an NCAA title too, but I know how hard they are to win. This is one "less than stellar" season which isn't even over yet. Name 1 coach, any sport, with credentials like that who was fired after one season of mediocracy. I'm done posting in this useless, idiotic, waste of time thread. In Hak I trust.
