I think your right on Chay it's like taking Chevy out of DU's line up and the Frattin factor is bigger than I once assumed. I must admit that I didn't think at first UND would miss him that much but in retrospect I think his being in the line up could be big. I also think the Sioux don't have to be a .750 winning percentage to make the NCAA's. Our out of conference record is doing great things for us right now.

Why? I am not trying to pick a fight either, but you have given nothing in the way of facts to prove other wise. To me history does mean something and I think it plays into the way they prepare their teams. People have a little faith. I remember the fire Hakstol threads when UND was sitting worse, last season at this time. It's two things, either that or I have been fooled into believing that the coaching staff knows what it's doing, or they are way out of it's league, I going to that I must have faith in Hak and co until they prove us wrong. I think we can get in the top 3-4 in the league for the stretch run. Let DU have the anchor that is the MacNaughten Cup.

You don't have any faith in the boys? Just wondering. Look at the calender, after the first of the year, UND is something like .750% over the past 5 years after the first of the year. I think we can take three points from UMN, DU, SCSU UMD and C.C. and sweep MTU that would set the Sioux up pretty well.

Is Kristo too old to play next season for the WJC?

No asked him a follow up on who he was looking at at the presser.

heck he could have driven back by now.

Yep, its also UND derangement syndrome.

Mark Levin has powered me through many of work outs or bike rides. I down load his podcast to my ipod.

Glen Beck is one of the top televison talk show hosts on the dial right now. He is kicking the crap out of Ed Schultz and Keith Overbite countdown to no ratings.

LOL, that pretty much describes the state of affairs of our country right now, running around spending others money.

Chris hating on UND again. Color me surprised.

Yeah I think his legs will be fresh and the hot tub might be the place to go and relax.

I think the Suite 49 location has a ton of potential with the college being within stumbling distance I believe it's untapped potential. I had a chance to go to Frenches when I first got here and they had some good food. Also, I can never figure out why Players closed, that place was petty fun to go to as well.

That was what I was saying.

Neither do I, Wisconsin and DU play soon It will be interesting to see how these games shake out.

Ok, let look at it from another angle, the 1997 Michigan team the 1988 and 1999 Sioux teams were awesome on paper but didn't win it all. You see what I am getting at. You still have to win the game and I think DU is just one team of a handfull that can win it all. I include UND in that mix.

Would we assume that he has to acclerate his studies to graduate?

I would call 3-3-3 a swoon...

Yes second half swoon. I predict they will lose a few in the second half.

I think the DU is good team but to chalk them up as the champion is a little pre-mature, I am not that big of a Chevy fan and I think he is beatable. How many times have we seen a team win the Cup only to flounder in the playoffs. UND and C.C. two examples of this. UND went head to head with DU and the refs and only lost the second game 3-2 I think UND and DU are pretty equal with Eidsness being the weak link for UND. DU has a very young defense corps. I also think DU's cockiness and listening to their fawning media types is going to get the best of them in the end. Just a prediction and just my humble opinion.

That is what I am saying that place has a lot of potential and the college kids could be a market they didn't tap. Like I said I would love to own it if I had the money.

The problem is that they put a high end sports bar and they should have made it more affordable and catered to the younger crowd. The thing is right on campus and could be a big time money maker, if I had the money I would love to run it. I was sad when it closed because the lavosh was awesome. I hope that something opens up soon in it's place.

I think as a journalist it was a silly prediction to make, he all but said they should win the tourney. That is before the puck even dropped. Also, the Pioneers haven't had their patiented second half swoon, like they ussually do.

Actually if it hadn't been for Eidsness over playing the puck we probably would have won the second game as well. I will bet you. So if the Sioux get three points I win?

ahem, those games were before the second half of the year and I think UND will put a hurt on Minnesota. They're God awful right now.
