I don't always agree with @gfhockey (and sometimes he p!$$es me off), but he does add a unique perspective to this forum. This place would be boring if everyone agreed with everyone else all the time.

If we are going to have a slump, I would rather have it now and not in March.

The PWR is going to change a lot from game to game this time of year. But in February and March, we had better be established in at least the top 10.

Those are two league points we flushed down the toilet. This league is too good to sleepwalk through games and expect to win. At least OT losses aren't as damaging as regulation losses. Need to come out firing tomorrow and get 3 points.

Shoot the puck when you have a good look. Sometimes the simple play is the best play.

Did we take sedatives before the game?

Need to come out firing in the third. Can't sleepwalk through the game and expect to win.

Bubba is employed in college football, a highly public profession where you are judged (in part) by wins and losses. I think he gets that and has a thick skin, unlike some people on this forum.

But according to @jdub27, sending emails gets results (sarcasm). It is simply not true.

I hate jam-packed stores.

I was thinking the exact same thing!

Explain Baxter/Brainerd, MN having one then? There definitely are not 200,000 people within 5 miles of that one.

If this becomes our goal, we should just apply to join the Pioneer League.

Then Bismarck shouldn't have one. There is no way there is 200,000 people within 5 miles of Bismarck.

Thank you, I keep forgetting about that Gateway Drive/U.S. 2 location. Even though I like shopping there.

Costco planning to expand in U.S. and overseas over next 10 years This article came out on September 23, 2023. Some food for thought on this topic.

Bismarck was probably designed to service Western North Dakota as a whole, including the oil patch workers. A large percentage of North Dakota's population lives east of I-29, so there are a lot of people to service. Also, you have NW Minnesota, which Grand Forks is much closer to than Fargo. With oil still being extracted out west, I wouldn't be surprised if Minot gets one as well.

Based on this logic, Grand Forks shouldn't have a Super Walmart, Sam's Club or Super Target either. But we do. Also, if Brainerd/Baxter, MN can have a Costco, then Grand Forks is definitely big enough to have one.

Thanks. If Omaha doesn't make the tournament (a distinct possibility), I believe we'll be placed in Sioux Falls to enhance attendance.

I see what you did there.

Opps!

Aren't we the host of the Sioux Falls regional? And if not, who is?

Great news! A Top 4 finish in the PWR in March will get us a #1 seed and placement in Sioux Falls.

It isn't a unique take, you are correct. But some people still believed it would never actually happen.

Much to the chagrin of several people on this forum.
