I was just bumping the topic back into the most recently commented/viewed. Hoping that the person with the insider information would see it.

Bump

Here is the link: Weston's Profile Scroll down the page to North Dakota and click on Weston's name. I think it would be interesting if you could update this every once in a while too, if new information is provided. Thanks again, appreciate it.

I am wondering if anyone hear is an ESPN Insider. ESPN's website has player profiles for all draft eligible players for the 2008 draft and Weston is on their site, but you have to be an Insider to read his profile. I was hoping someone hear would be able to share with the rest of us, the scouting report on Weston. I have no idea what information it might actually have for him, maybe nothing, but I am curious to find out. Thanks for the help.

WHOA......Wrong forum, oh well.

Weston going pro? Interesting article. Sorry if this was already posted.

Yes, exactly. Exposure for ND sports teams is good for ND.

I enjoy the UND-NDSU rivalry as much as the next guy and happen to work with a lot of NDSU grads and we thrive in giving each other a bad time. That said, I will not be "cheering" for NDSU, but I think an NDSU win is a good thing for ND in general, so I would like them to win. Like it or not, NDSU looking good nationwide looks good for us as well. I guess I see the "joke" reference you are trying to create, but I would not have necessarily resorted to cheering for Taliban U considering the current timeframe in the world. I know how much of a Sioux fan that I am, and wanting to see NDSU win this weekend has nothing to do with my allegiance to UND. Here endeth the revised lesson.

I live in Bismarck, so we left early Thursday morning (like 8:30 am) to get to GF so we could get a tailgating ticket. We got there around Noon and went straight to the Al. The lady was collecting money for the tailgating tickets. She had no more than 16 parking spots available, so we grabbed one and then were told that we could come back later because we had a numbered spot saved for us, so we did. We showed up about 4:30 to see that they added another ten spots or so to the group of tailgating spots and we lost our spot at the end next to the cones (which was actually a bigger area, because you could use the coned off area). We ended up being able to trade our spot for another, but we were a little discouraged that the spot we paid for was no longer at the location we thought. There are some kinks to work out, but for the most part went on as usual with no issues. Good game, GO SIOUX!!!

My wife and I ran into a couple people down in Orlando in one of the Disney theme parks. Thought that was pretty cool. The best part about seeing someone in a different town wearing Sioux gear is the fact that all you have to say is "Go Sioux!!" and nothing more needs to be said. I live in Bismarck and was also surprised at how many Sioux fans live here. I have seen quite a few since I moved back here after school, but the best was the day after we beat Michigan 8-5. My wife, son and I were head to toe Sioux gear and we went to the mall and had no less than ten people ask questions about last nights game and/or comments about the game. I was surprised how many fans come out of the woodworks. As far as I am concerned, the best fan to be is a Sioux fan. GO SIOUX!!!! Today and always.

Any idea how much the guy wants for it?? There is no way I could afford it, just curious.

I live in the western part of the state, so this is good news. I am not much of a Minnesota sports fan, but the coverage of one market is very interesting. I wonder which KFAN shows will make the cut?? As they say they won't change the lineup much.

I usually listen to KFAN at that time of day, but did not hear this. Since that is Common Man's slot, there is a very good chance he did it as a bit. I didn't hear it so don't know for sure.

Thank you for the information. I appreciate it.

I am wondering if anyone recorded the games this last weekend. I wanted to and forgot about it. I would compensate anyone who went through the trouble of making me copies. My 22 month old son loves watching Sioux hockey games on tv and I wanted these games for the down time during the summer months. I live in Bismarck, so some sort of transfer would have to be involved, but I'll worry about that later. Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thank you.

I can understand what you are saying and maybe that is what happened, but if he is not able to make an effort at the save because of your desription then we have more problems than I thought. I can also make a conspiracy that Phil has been guessing a lot this year on shots. I can picture a number of instances where he has gone down into the butterfly and then the shot glances off of him high or his stick high and gone in. After these goals he then proceeds to make a gesture of frustration in the form of I knew I should have not dropped yet. This causes me to think that he his not reading the puck well and trying to make his odds work for him. Just something to think about. I think Phil's biggest problem was changing numbers and face masks. The all black mask was awesome, bring it back with #34 Phil for the sake of the team. Regardless, whether Grieco is ready or not the team needs to work him in, because Phil has not shown the ability to be a one man show type of player. Previous two years he has played very well with shared time, just didn't receive a lot of puck support from the offense. Some goalies cannot handle the entire load.

I have never really questioned too many decisions Hak has made in his time as head coach, but I completely disagreed with the early pulling of Grieco. Yeah the first goal was a big softy, but the second one I thought he was in position to stop the shooter and like always there is no one back checking to get the trailer. Phil and Grieco have both looked shaky at times and great at times. It is hard to ask your goaltenders to be consistent when the defense is just as inconsistent if not worse. Lot of issues to resolve before this team can even think about moving up in the WCHA. I am not saying we need to mail it in (we have seen the past two years where bad starts have gotten us), but realizing this could get ugly fast in not out of the question. With our horrible conference record we cannot afford to lose any games in the Dartmouth tournament. Right now we need wins and that looks like the best place to get them.

I was born in Bismarck, ND and then moved to Crosby ND for a year or so, then my family moved to Dickinson and we lived there for about 5 years. Then moved onto Bismarck again. Stayed there until I went to school in GF and lived there for 5 years. Had to move back to Bismarck for a job and I miss GF more and more everyday.

How is someone to know you are from North Dakota if you are in another state. Just looking at you because you are Native American, I find it hard to believe that someone is going to assume you are from ND and say 'Sioux Suck'. Granted the form of that "chant" is not favorable, it has everything to do with a sporting nature. If someone is at an athletic event and is cheering against the Sioux with that phrase, I doubt they are thinking....'I am making sure all Native Americans know I am insulting them'. Seems a bit over the top.

I too will be taking my 18 month old son to his first game and I am so excited to see his reaction. We watch home games on TV and NHL games and he gets so excited, pointing and yelling. Its going to be awesome

I like the Century Line idea the best, with the Money Line a close second. How 'bout the BB-Zach (Boc-Brady-Zach) line. Mock of BB Mak.
