Mr. Boombastic

I just want to go on the record saying I would take this guy in a second. He may have to drop a level if he wants to continue coaching, why not to the newest member of the Big Sky?

The media fall out is definitely discussion worthy. The fact an immensne amount of skepticism is still out there to the validity of the story published by the Herald is noteworthy in and of itself. The fact that stories like this tend to lead people to think we may have a "dirty" program of sorts with our continuous after midnight follies. There is a lot of meat to the discussion and it's much more than whether 7 was intoxicated or not.

Frozen Four Answer Key: North Dakota Minnesota-Duluth Boston College Notre Dame Book it.

Am I the only one who hopes for Hak to try and recruit Mario Lucia? I want to see Hakstol sitting the Lucia's living room with tDon, Mario, and Tony and explain the advantages North Dakota has to offer. Sure we may not get a commitment out of it, but it would be an entertaining discussion.

SNOOZEFEST!

It was more of a joke than anything, jeepers!

Ironically the Herald chooses a picture with the University of Minnesota stepping all over the logo. More evidence of their slant.

Red River has actually been doing it since the late 90's, I believe a couple grads (Irmen, Potulny) may have brought the tradition to Minneapolis. As ugly as the hair looks it is pretty cool that the tradition has lasted for 15 years or so.

Sanctioning women's hockey was the bad idea, everything that has come after that initial bad idea pales in comparison.

Maybe now they'll troll over here and see that we have a thread about their forum having topics on us. Let's not add fuel to their inferiority theory.

I don't wanna speculate but I heard Josh and Mr. Kristo were at the same party, Josh threw Kristo head first into a snowbank and booked it for the hills. My niece's friend heard this from Bob Iwabuchi's illegitmate third cousin so don't quote me.

Here's something that isn't speculation. Danny has had numerous alcohol related incidents, and is often more intoxicated than he should be on a night where he is "celebrating". The writing on the wall here is that alcohol contributed to this sad and scary development. I wish Danny a speedy recovery and hope he is able to live as painless and normal life as he can after he heals from this injury. It seems like every year an alcohol related incident is coming out of this program, I understand "boys will be boys", but an issue as serious as this should serve as a wake up call to the program. Again I don't want to detract from the seriousness of the situation Danny finds himself in, I do wish however that the coaching staff and the team begin to promote and engage in more responsible behavior away from the rink.

UNDERRATED: Ryan Hill, and I'm not being a wise@$$. He's a good locker room guy and peacekeeper at times. He shows up everyday works hard and does whatever he can do to help the team even though he gets no recognition in the form of playing time or notoriety in the media.

This isn't necessarily groundbreaking by any means but a source at the university says Faison will be inking an FBS game with New Mexico State his previous employer in 2013. I'd expect it to be officially announced in the coming months.

Dickinson beat Hazen 4-3 over the weekend. This is the same Dickinson that gave up 14 goals to a glorified bantam a team called Fargo Davies.

If I were Jeff Jackson and Notre Dame I would demand that goal be reviewed. 2-3 minutes ran off the clock because of that non-call, in that time span either team could have scored the winning goal in a game that ended in a tie.

Finals from Thursday: Red River-6 Crookston-1 Devils Lake-4 Fargo Davies-1 Century-8 Hazen-0 Moorhead-3 Fargo South-0 Not bad predictions eh?

I like Century to bounce back after a couple of tough losses with a 6-0 win over an undermatched Hazen team. Davies-Devils Lake is intriguing as Davies is coming off a 14 goal win over a Dickinson squad. I like the Firebirds at home 4-1 though, experience being the big difference maker here. Red River will get a good physical test against the Pirates tonight, I think they have too much up front though to be slowed down, I'll take the Riders 5-1. Finally in South's Super Bowl against Moorhead I see the Spuds depth powering them to a 4-0 win. South lost a goalie and a lot of depth in the Davies split, Moorhead should come out of Section 8 in Minnesota this year.

The students have been blacked out at games for years now.

Red River is deeper than Central by a long shot. If Central is going to win they are gonna have to find secondary scoring, they are unproven past their top three and are atrocious defensively. At the end of the day I do think they are the favorite to win but it's definitely not as cut and dry as its made out to be.
