I think we have only seen a small glimsp of what Frattin can do. I expect a lot of good things from him this season. Also, I can't wait to see Trupp healthy again.

Well said and any day you spend above ground is a good day in my opinion.

Put that peace button on Dave and go protest. Individual gun ownership is protected by the second amendment of the constitution.

C all of the above.

We have that in Grand Forks as well.

Today is a good day.

Oh hell why not just add Dutchmen, Irish, Norsk and anyother name that even one person might be offended by? I am sure there are people that can be offended by just about anything. Even after the Lawsuit I am still not convinced the NCAA really has to power to do this and believe they grossley over stepped their bounds of the NCAA charter, mainly because they are taking a state rights away from them. What are they going to do bring the police in and haul people out? This statement couldn't be more true.

Winning Fighting Sioux hockey is coming soon. over time is X-tra hockey And the Zebras in the WCHA are horrendus. Anyone for firing Greg Shephurd? Bueller?

it won't stick to teflon Kent.

I have a lot of friends that probably lean more to the left of center but none of them have ever called me EVIL

Well said Redwing_77. I think the problem is that we are now in constant campaign mode. I am about ready to throw my lap top and tv out the window because I am sick of listening to political ads with fancy speeches that lack substance . I can't wait till this silly election is over. The fact that McCain is close after all of the cheer leading for Barrack Obama by the Main Stream Media is actually proof that our country is split down the middle.

Is this what we are talking about? Oyate

You might want to stick to bashing the Bison, your attempt at politics was horrendus.

That has to be one of more %$^!@#$ things that you have said lately. This whole smoking thing has more to do with people's health and collective rights of the masses. Dave if you're against the ban than file a legal challenge to it. Good luck gettting the ND supreme court to hear your case. Frankly the people have spoken there was a democratic vote on a public smoking ban, the ban passed. Like I said if you don't like it sue.

If the League calls it tighter this season I think you will see goaltending numbers go down. Personally I could care less because I would rather see a 6-3, 7-4, 8-3 game than a 2-1, 1-0 trap feast.

So is the ussual bet of a big beer on?

The thing that irritates me is this was a such a big story last winter to the Herald the community, I remember there people asking Hakstol what the heck is going on here? What kind of program is Hakstol running? I even remember some people being upset because the UNH player got an extra game more than Oshie. Like I said before the the Herald was falling all over themselves to get this story out. Ok, fall all over your self to report the rest of the story. I don't care if the charges are acquitted, dropped or dismissed it is still worthy of more than a page 6 story. While some people just love the Herald, I think it is legitimate to have issues with the way that paper is ran.

First off it is almost July. The Herald newspaper is a joke; they were falling all over themselves and were in a big hurry to report this story when it happened. So if that story is good enough to put out there when these kids were getting cited by the police so is the story about the charges being dropped. Why isn't that story on the front page? While I don't have a lot of love for the regular beat writers at the Herald I do think the sports writers at the herald do a great job of covering Sioux hockey and other Sioux sports, but the rest of the paper in my opinion is nothing more than liner for a bird cage, or for wrapping fish. I also know that I am not the only one that feels that way. We get it you love the Grand Forks Herald. Also notice how McFeely hasn't even made a mention of this story either.

Isn't that called a cigar bar?

For a rookie you seem to ask a lot of good questions. Defensively I think UND was one of the better teams in the nation, statistically this is a true fact. For whatever reason our team peaked a little early in my opinion. I think UND lost the by old: "you can't stop what you can't catch" in the Semi-final game of the NCAA Frozen Four.

I like Gare Joyce's work. That was a good article.

Now the city of Fargo has ruled that you (hypothetically) don't have a right to allow smoking in a bar if you owned it. The only recorse is that someone will challenge it in the ND supreme court and then they will have to decide if there is going to be smoking in bar or not.

I find it ironic that Herald burried it so far in the newspaper.

yeah good catch.

I am all for personal freedoms myself, I am worried about gun owners rights and freedoms that are being taken away from me. Like I said you can do all the drugs and booze you want in your house as long as your not driving on the highway, flying my plane or driving my bus or driving anywhere where you could kill me or my family and friends I am fine with that. Smoking at a place like McDonald's or a restaurant where my daughter is don't think so. I am not even against smoking in bars but I also think we need to have some perspective, your freedoms are not extended to compromising others health. Heck at Altru you can't even smoke on the grounds or chew snuff anymore if my wife explained it to me right. Are people going to sue them now?
