I am liking rookie LB Anthony Barr more every week. Now he wins a game for the Purple!

That was from an era before television (or at least before color television).

I thought stuff like this left town when Shantel Rivard did?

I have some other words I could use, but this is a family discussion forum.

Two steps forward (Montana and Portland State games) One step back (Southern Utah game) This is how it works when you are rebuilding a program that was basically starting over from scratch. I am still looking forward to the final two home games. In Bubba We Trust.

O'Donnell is invisible most of the time, unless he is going to the box or misses the net. What has he done to earn all this ice time? Thank God he is a senior.

Gas Lamp District is fabulous. You can eat outdoors at pretty much every establishment there. They have heaters to keep you warm on those chilly San Diego evenings.

I am pretty sure I was on the U.S. side of the border.

My parents used to take me there for special occasions. Just another casualty to the robotic national chains.

I went to an authentic Mexican place in San Diego's Old Town area. The food was light years ahead of anything in this area.

To each their own.

"Garbage" Logic is a poor man's Rush Limbaugh for the Twin Cities area. Joe Soucheray would be mistaken for Richard Belding at a Saved By The Bell convention. I "tried" listening to their incoherent nonsense once and I lost a few brain cells in the process.

I knew that was coming. The difference between Daddy's Little Boy in the Iron Range and Dayton is that Dayton doesn't run around acting like he hit a triple when he in fact was born on third base. Junior Mills runs around acting like a self-made man, when in fact he got his cushy VP job at Mills Fleet Farm because "daddy" gave it to him. Dayton knows that not everyone is as fortunate as him; Mills III doesn't even understand the concept.

I know that. What I meant is that he acts like what the Senate thinks about any issue doesn't matter. He likes to think he is all that matters in Bismarck and that arrogance is what needs to go.

I just had supper; please don't bring the spoiled-rotten little rich kid into this topic. I think they would have had problems competing with Home of Economy; it's like if Hornbacher's tried to get into Grand Forks when Hugo's is so entrenched.

The sooner we get rid of his pompous, arrogant a$$, the better. Everything he does revolves around him being the de-facto "Prime Minister" of North Dakota. He doesn't care about what the governor thinks or the N.D. Senate as a whole. After what he tried to pull with the Fighting Sioux nickname and logo, the answer to this question is obvious. GET...RID...OF...HIM! End Rant. Go Sioux.

Or what?

The QB coach I believe. And he needs that as a starting rookie QB.

Anything less than a sweep is unacceptable! (Copyright Goon 2014 All Rights Reserved)

I think the worm is starting to turn in your favor. Stafford is staying healthy for once, the defense is suddenly solid as a rock and you won today on the road without two of your best athletes. You don't have much to worry about when it comes to the "Motor City Kitties".

Jerry York typically doesn't lose a lot of guys early all at once. Sometimes one or two will leave early, but he's also had a lot of kids that have stuck around for 3-4 years. That probably explains their consistency of winning games and NCAA titles over the past 15 years or so.

If four year players inherently suck, then how did Dean Blais do so well with primarily four year players (very few of his kids left early from the mid 1990's to the early 2000's. There is value in the idea of having a roster of kids that started out together and graduate together (the freshman class of 1996-97 won an NCAA title their first year and in their senior year of 1999-2000). That builds chemistry and togetherness. When you add some 1 to 2 year higher-end kids to that group, you have a pretty good collection of veterans and young guns. As for why schools "pass" on certain kids, that varies from case to case. Sometimes, kids feel more comfortable on a smaller campus vs. larger campus, sometimes one school has his chosen field of study and another doesn't, some kids like to be close to home while others want to be as far away from home as possible. Recruiting (like professional drafts) is an inexact science and just because one school "passes" on a kid doesn't mean that kid won't fit in someplace else or that he's not good enough for D-I hockey. And finally, I don't think Yale and Union were "lucky". Yale beat both UND and Minnesota in the regional. I watched some of Union's play last year and they are top to bottom a very good team. They hung 7 on the mighty Goofs in the title game. You don't do that with "luck".

I think your Lions may be putting all the pieces together for a playoff run. And considering how much crap their fan base has had to put up with for so many years, I am happy for them.

No, we should have beaten Bemidji both nights and Friday night was unacceptable (Copyright Goon 2014 All Rights Reserved). As MafiaMan said, the point is that it's very early in the season and a lot of things can happen between now and March. I just hope those are good things for us.
