Is Spirko playing with Slovakia in the World Juniors? He is not listed on their initial roster. He played in the last 2 world juniors for them and was wondering why he would not have been with them from the get go? If he is playing, have they arrived yet?...Probably not, but just curious(Wondering because Stafford did not play with UND over the weekend, but spirko did.

Also, according to our radio broadcast team Joey Coccimiiglio and Fred Coccimiglio are both from Sault St. Marie, Ontario but are not related?? Must be a common name like Jones or Smith

Did anyone else think that their co-coach looked exactly like you would expect someone named Clancey Seymour to look.

I thought the Sioux played pretty even with USA, USA has the snipers who put away their opportunities. I would say the Sioux probably had as many or more legit scoring chances as USA but Montoya was tough. I was surprised that the Sioux were able to stay in it in the 3rd, I told my dad after the 2nd that I could see this get out of hand because at the end of the t2nd it looked like the sioux legs were getting a little wobbly. For Team USA, O'sullivan and suter both looked like future NHL superstars!! Very impressed with Brian Lee, glad we are going to get his services(for how long is anyone's guess). He made one real nice play with Murray coming in on him 1 on 1....stood him up and rode him all the way to the boards...HARD. Jones layed a couple nice smacks on Stafford---looked like they were both laughing after 1 of them. Schneider put the wood to O'sullivan on a nice open ice check. The USA Defence looked pretty good with the exception of Borer who looked very out of place even against a makeshift line of Foyt, Bina, and Marvin, I would guess he will be the 7th D for the tourney.

The Pepper 2 words Garbage Plate! Of course you want to have a few adult beverages in you at the time?

He is lucky that the Minneapolis police dog was not there.

Heard Glas on kfgo 790 tonight. Basically said that when you sit down and look at UND's place in athletics you have to ask does UND belong with NDSU, SDSU, Montana, etc. when looking at what level of play and athlete we are trying to attract at UND versus and there is nothing against them, but do we strive to be on a level with Moorhead st., bemidji, crookston, etc. From his tone there is no question that he is leaning toward moving towards moving the UND athletic programs in the D1 direction. He did say that everything was great as far as BB was concerned until the bison and jacks chose to leave D2 and he is of the belief that in order to maintain fan interest and a better quality of ball that UND should probably follow suit.

Hey all, petey here. petey thinks that everyone should give poncho a second chance, cuz like petey likes to say, everyone deserves a 2nd chance. well petey has to go now, petey says later.

I thought the color guy was good. You try and carry pat sweeney all day. It was Jay "Hoot" Gibson, former UND Football and Basketball athlete and current head coach of the West Fargo Packer Football Dynasty.

Bisonguy, I cannot believe you would question Pat Sweeney's vast football knowledge. We in the valley should count our blessings and just be thankful that he has not moved on to ESPN or Fox Sports Net....I am sure he has had several offers.

Went to the Evertblades game tonight!(My brother moved to Ft. Myers and I am down playing a little golf, hope the weather is shi&&y back in ND). Everblades beat The Mississippi Sea Wolves 6-3 tonight. Tim O'Connell had a solid game and David Lundbohm had a great game(1 goal, 1 assist, and created several opportunities). Notorious tough guy Chris Cava cheapshotted O'Connell with his team down 5-3 and with the penalty called and the opportunity to even it up(Timmy dropped em and was wanting to kick his a$$, Cava cowardly and quickly skated to the box, what a pu$$y)

Thanks Mike?, I am in Florida visiting Scotty and we were wondering if we could catch the game(s)

Does anyone know if either or both of the games are on TV this weekend?

Hey Jim? Was that a backhanded slap at bison fans and them fawning all over themselves about seeing their score on the espn ticker? If so, well played! If not, oh well.

For fun, lets plug in the mratings for the UNC and FA game. Florida Atlantic will be favored by about 16(homefield to UNC, is homecoming a legit factor?). I see it about 33-17.

Yes. And I actually overlooked another team who is ranked #5 in the country. based upon mratings GVSU #1 in country, #3 in region UND #3 in country, #2 in region Northwood #2, #1 SCSU #7, #4 Mich. Tech #8, #5 Saginaw #5, #6 Ferris #12, #9 Winona #23, #7 W. Washington #26, #8 Only 6 of these teams will make the playoffs and then they will have to beat each other up while the other regions top team will have a relativley easy trip to the semi's. The southwest region is kind of tough as well with 5 teams ranked in the top 19 in the country. The highest ranked team in the Souteast is #9 and in the northeast #11. Does anyone know which regions play each other this year in the semi's?

Great, So the #1,2,3,7, and 8 teams in the country are all in the same region. Hey I have an idea why don't we have them play each other in the playoffs so that whoever comes out of this region will win their semi-final and then championship game by about 20 points....makes sense to me. What? Oh you mean that the NCAA D2 already does that? Never mind then.

There is also the rule diferences, field differences, and number of players.

Those calls, the inadvertant whistle and the no-call in the endzone make a 27-0 game 13-7.

Go back to the first year intro, of the Sioux capping off their 7 national titles, splice in some big hits. You could see that as the year went on, some teams would try not to look up at the board(probably told by their coaches not too....other coaches probably told them about it after there teams were in awe of it.) The intro they used that year is better than anything they have used since.

I can't believe the selfishness on this board? Sure the grinders are great, the cheese tostada's are fantastic....but everyone seems to be holding back the "best" secret of the Red Pepper......."The Garbage Plate"(subject to availability of course)

Believe me, we would be more concerned with gvsu than ndsu even if ndsu was still in d2.

For the record. UND and NDSU played 110 times. NDSU managed to win 41% of these games.

Any thoughts about what US born players will be representing the USA in the 2006 Olympics? It does not seem like there are alot of no doubt future stars in the pipeline right now? I went to the US/Finland game the other night and afterwards we were talking about who the US has up and coming to take the place of some of the older players on the team. We had a hard time coming up with quality players in the NHL from the US. Chelios was our best defenseman on the ice and he is 42. Leetch looked horrible. Miller and Martin looked OK(although a bit shaky at times). Anyone want to speculate on what the US team might look like in a couple years.

They really hate the fact that if Mesa and Valpo locked up on a neutral filed, Mesa would be a 16 or 17 point favorite.
