Looks like there is the beginning of a pipe line to UND from Shattack.
I like it.

Hey I am guilty I voted for Kevin. So sue me...
I think Speez is right why can't a top defensive forward be a candidate for the Hobey Baker.

The highest rated show... Ha Bull $#it
I have to take issue with that. Is he dreaming has he listened to his show lately, Eddie has his nose up the big three of ND it is sickening. Eddie is pathetic, he is a camlian and changes his colors to match what ever he feels is popular at the time. Remeber this guy went from being the voice of the dirty Bison to the Voice of the Fighting Sioux. Eddy is arogant and abrassive. Eddy is too big for his own britches.
I can't listen to the blow hard for more than 3 minutes before I have to change the channel. Eddie holds the Red River hostage with the I am the boss and I am the God of clear channel, and you will carry my show and not be allowed to carry the PA and Dubay show on KFAN.
I think UND has to dump this clown he has done too much damage with his latest tirade. Eddy is not fit to carry Blaier's Jock Strap.

Sorry Gator, I think the Bucs are going down this weekend. The Raiders are too good and Rich Gannon is God. It will be a great match up though...
-
Actually I think MSU-Mankato is a little high in the ratings and will take a dive during the second half of the season. They just don't have the team to stay where they are. I am going to go out on a limb and say the Gophers take 4 points this weekend.
However, I have no problem with the Mavericks sweeping the dirty Gophers this weekend... The Gophers are just too good to not sweep this weekend.

If the Sioux fans team need a goon my services could be available. I can skate but I am not very good at any thing else...

Sportstalk....It is, what it is......
The earth has shaken, the clouds are moving over fast, the light from the sky has dimmed, the noise from the crowd is deafening, but Big Eddy stands tall with the microphone announcing there will be no apology. Famous words after a man was beaten, "can we all just get along". I have enjoyed all the bantering the last week over a sportstalk show I hosted on the FAN. Yes, the e-mails have been entertaining to say the least. Some nasty, some very supportive, and I appreciate those. I find it so ironic that a university community that uses an Indian head as a logo, which some find offensive, get so offended themselves when their hockey coach is called a jerk on a sportstalk show. I didn't call him a murderer, a rapist, or a child molester. I called him a jerk, and said it was a bush league move to dump the interview which had been confirmed four times dating back to Wednesday, two days prior to the show. A call came into the studio control telling us the coach would be there in fifteen minutes and for us to be ready at one-thirty. I was shocked when Blais didn't call. My reaction, was my reaction on live radio, so be it. Where was the loyality of the coach to a UND announcer? Does he own a cell phone? The last week I have been called just about everything in the book. It has been flamed by newspapers trying to sell papers and create more controversy and stir the pot. I have taken shots from all walks of life. For some to suggest my reaction was an effort to break into a big market is a joke. I pay more in taxes than any writer in this state makes. Iam the only media person in the history of North Dakota to sign a million dollar contract and after seven years of newstalk radio I still have the highest rated show beating what little competition there is by a five-to-one margin. It all adds up to me being a target whenever there is an issue. I have been in the mix of controversey for many years on a number of issues. I have taken unpopular stands from time to time but I have always been honest with my feelings and an easy person to approach. I've made a good living out of being a big target. What a business. All this over a stupid sportstalk show. It should also be pointed out, we are not in a rating period and I certianly didn't make any comments in an attempt to gain ratings at the expense of a coach. For those of you who want to see me fail, I understand that's all in the mix and I harbor no hard feelings towards any booster or the coach. You folks have just handed me the biggest promotion I've had in over a year and I wasn't even looking for it. I hope we are all done with this ordeal, and I should make it known I have every intention of returning as voice of the Fighting Sioux football team this coming fall. I also hope the Fighting Sioux hockey team wins the national championship. Enough said.
Here is the latest from the Blow Hard Eddy Schultz...
I am not seeing contrite here at all. Interesting.
I have a hard time believing that he is beating Scott Hennen in the ratings in the Fargo area. Anyone have the latest arbitron ratings?
Its like what ever Eddie...

I read in the paper they had a emotional meeting at city hall the other night and a few of the hotel owners were upset that they are going to have to pay for a hotel with their tax money that in turn could run them out of business.
They need to put a hotel in there to stimulate business...
Who wouldn't want to stay in a hotel that has a water park?

Doesn't CB own a cell phone...

I was in the stands the night the Whisky bottle went through the window. When Ed walked up to the booth he was taking a lot of crap. the NDSU fans were, for the most part, tired of him and his UND leanings. He was fairly good natured about it in his long wool coat but it was a bit of a struggle to get to the booth. He was taking a lot more than Jim Addelson would have ever deserved or taken. Addelson would have handled it better.
Naturally the game was an NDSU BISON route of whom, I don't remember (they were all the same including UND). But the stands were wild. I don't believe the Whisky bottle was intentional, but when it hit we moved out. By the time we got to the car we were hearing the rant. We couldn't believe it. Ed blamed it on fan drinking and that excuse held.
The new rant against Blais isn't even in the same ballpark. Blais is a hayseed. He chumped the big time media (probably confused Eddy with the local market, but he must have forgotten how enamored UND fans were when Eddy was reported to be in contention for the Viking job) so he has to pay a price.
Blais owes Eddy an apology, and he should apologize to all the UND coaches for insisting that they too ignore the mighty clear channel. "By Golly" Lennon and "Beyond Blame" Blais need some continuing education. They make UND look like a junior college getting some unexpected attention.
Blais is humiliated.

Since it involves Sioux hockey's "home" I guess this is hockey related. In the Herald today, there is an article regarding red ink at the Alerus and competition with REA is cited.
Red-Ink for Alerus
It seems that the Herald, the City and Alerus officials are always quick to blame REA for the inability of the Alerus to meet projections or operate in the black.
I'm not a resident of Grand Forks but live close enough and here's my take - every $$ REA takes away from the Alerus puts a smile on my face. The arena part should never have been built - Grand Forks needed a large convention center with an adjacent hotel, not an adjacent arena (and the absence of a hotel makes it impossible to market the convention center). It's ugly and the upper seating is too far away from the field (FargoDome much better, IMHO). Besides, the city screwed itself when it refused to consider Dean Blais' request that they make the arena "ice-ready" so UND could bid for regionals or for big draw games like the gophers and badgers. I don't think its any coincidence that Ralph announced his gift a month after the city's decision.
On the plus side, the arena has been great for UND football.
What do others think? Is the Alerus unfairly hurt by the Ralph? Should REA officials stop booking non-ice events? Should UND move its basketball games to the Alerus? Should the FargoDome be razed?
What needs to be done for the whining to stop? -
Other than that and a few jokes about Schultz there was little news regarding Sioux men's hockey.
It would be interesting to hear some of the jokes made about that boob...
-
As for the rant Eddie spewed about the listening folks. The Fighting Sioux Sports Network/Knox-Kcnn/UND maybe should sign a contract and sell region wide radio stations who would like to purchase the feed instead of being locked in with Clear Channel.
Eddie keep running your mouth.Maybe 1440 will pick up Dbay and Payday from 9-12 after the Tim and Swig show.
Eddie, JC and Blais do walk on water. Albeit Blaiser's walk is on the frozen stuff.
Eddie seems to think he is untoachable, I guess we have to listen to his ranting and raving instead of having on PA and DU-bay because Eddie is the boss, I am not sure many would listen to Eddy if they had the choice. I will take Hennen over Schultz any day... His radio show is brutal... Eddie spends most of the time talking about how great he is. I want to call up and say hey Ed hows your dog?
I would rather listen to the two clowns from down in Mpls than schultz, they are just being funny not disrespectful... At least we don't expect any respect from them but Ed sorry putz but you have sports announcing gig because the UND North Dakota pays your salary indirectly or directly, its time for you to get taken to the wood shed...

Here are the Blow Hards comments on the show in question. Caviler as ussual.
Can we all calm down now.....?It's been a long time since I've been in a good sports controversy. Little did I know a short two hour appearance on the FAN would roll into a four day story. In this business, I guess you never know. There will be no apology on my part as I feel I've nothing wrong. On the other hand, I will not field any more calls on the subject dealing with the Sioux hockey coach. In the sportstalk arena its not always a perfect world. Most sportstalk shows around the country live on the edge and take no prisoners. No coach in America is immune to tough talk, caller or host opinions, and certianly job performance critque dealing with all aspects of the job. As a talk show host it's not my job to make sure everybody is happy all the time. I don't have time to select the perfect verbage for every situation that comes up on the air. In my job, I get ripped everyday. Deal with it.

Nobodys called him a hand wringing liberal yet?
That would be a accurate statement used to describe Eddy the Blow Hard Schultz. I wonder if he has shot any more black labs while hunting in the field...
Schultz also has his lips planted firmly on the rear ends of the three democratic leaders of the great state of North Dakota...
-
Nope not me, I don't call radio stations or spew crap...
He,he,he... I don't listen to Mac talk...
I don't think UND or Blaiser needs to work anything out with schultz but his dismissal...
-
BUT when it is a group of self-serving non-Sioux (and SMALL, and I mean SMALL, group of Sioux, but still self-serving) demands that we all should bow down to their whims, we will refuse to listen to their clan speeches.
Translation, white, liberal out of touch arts and science professors who are bitter and jealous of athletes. Ie professors that teach courses like english lit, sociology, revisionist history etc...

Ed Schultz comments on the KFAN 1130 Friday afternoon where inappropriate, unprofessional, over the top and horrible, Eddie is the one that is bush league, he who lives in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Eddies tirade made him sound like a blubbering, whining cry baby that had his rattle taken away from him at play time. I am sure Eddie never realized a top coach might have other commitments that kept him away from doing the interview. Why Eddie still works at KFGO is beyond me

I listened to the Gopher broadcast of the end of the second period and start of the third, then I watched the last 8 minutes.
Going into it I was hoping for a split and hoping they played well. Of course this afternoon I was hoping for more than a split, but I'm happy enough taking two points out of there and going home. I was fearful the Sioux would go up to UAA and get beat if they had swept MN; in fact, I'm still worried about it...
-
I didn't get to listen to or see the game but it sounds like the Sioux just got beat tonite. It's going to happen. I agree with PCM that they can use this now as a learning experience and be stronger in the long run.
If anyone hears about Canady's injury please post. It's a shame because I thought he played really well in the CC series.

I listened to the game over the internet feed tonight. Did Ballard actually taunt Parise? If he did, is he nuts? That's all you need to do, give the best player on the ice another reason to whoop up on your team again.
I think this is the game that has cemented their confidence. Now there is no doubt they can play with anybody in the nation. I can't wait for the CC series in the springs!
Ballard has been less than impressive this year in my opinion, Schnider has more offensive points than him. If Ballard wants to act like a punk so be it. Actually he has no reason to taunt Parise. I am excited about the game but its only half of the series. I would love to see a sweep tonight their first in Marryi-ucci since 1980...
