Never in a million years did I think the epic rant I posted back in 2013 would be used in an editorial in the Grand Forks Heraldo: http://www.grandforksherald.com/opinion/our-opinion/4230976-editorial-congrats-und-sports-tournament-grand-slam I am flattered, but I am more excited that we have enjoyed so much success this season after a very shaky and frustrating transition period and that we are getting great press like this. FIGHT ON SIOUX (HAWKS)!

To screw us over?

It was very warm and humid in the MSP area today. There are tornado watches up from Minnesota southward. Meanwhile, north-central North Dakota is experiencing a blizzard right now. Gotta love March weather!

And I thought Faison gave away contract extensions like candy!

Kind of like our team this year.

Yeah, time to bring home another Class A title!

If we win the conference tournament this week in Reno, then Jones should get a multi-year extension. If not, I think it's 50/50 that Faison chooses to keep him.

And UConn has had both men's and women's basketball teams win national titles in the same year. I think it has happened twice.

I don't blame him. Why nobody will ever give him a chance at a MH coaching job (with its bigger salary and national profile) is puzzling. The man obviously can coach and get results.

I am thrilled that the MBB team has had so much success this year, but anyone who says they saw it coming are not being totally honest. This is the first Jones coached team to really fulfill their potential.

Here are the comments I was thinking of: http://host.madison.com/sports/olympics/u-s-women-s-hockey-mark-johnson-a-coach-who/article_ab0ffe42-191e-11df-ac8d-001cc4c002e0.html

I think you are referring to Mark Johnson? Who coached the Badger women's team for awhile? I remember reading comments he made about how different it is to coach men vs. women.

This is our only goal this weekend:

This should be our theme song from here on out:

Yes, but it will be interesting to see what happens if they don't make a decision on Idalski on Monday, given that his contract runs out this year. That would suggest they are waiting to see if the program is cut before they decide to bring him back or hire someone else.

If a decision is made on Monday, that would indicate that the program will continue. If it is not, that would suggest that WH is on the chopping block and it just hasn't been announced yet.

Time to end the regular season on a high note.

Looks like the season will end with a shutout loss.

I think it's that Antenna TV channel.

The key word in Cratter's statement was "constantly". Week after week, we run into a "hot goalie".

I hope this doesn't mean both will be one and done in Reno. What a buzz kill that would be!

I get it. Everything is the goaltender's fault. Everything.

A lesser goalie might have a save percentage in the mid-80's or worse. He has done enough to keep our heads above water. Barely.

Perhaps. But Cam Johnson made some big saves in the title game last year and in other games when the defense screwed up. Cam just hasn't been able to win people over since he got here.

Things certainly have gotten better since I posted this rant!!!
