AZSIOUX Check out the Salt River Fields yesterday.

All you have to do to get her to smile is say, "ffeettccchhh".

It is the seating issue now. The setup is not like the old RTO's where UND had a section to themselves.

Give the new location. RTO's on Stapley at the 60 in the southwest corner. Saturday could be a problem though because UFC pay-per-view will be on.

Are you going to use fetch's model girlfriend posted above?

Why were there only 974 rodent fans there?

Good you got the joke.

Thanks for the run down. I wonder though in the future the league will be more balanced if that will help.

meow

A baby one. LOL

You and everyone else.

I rescind my offer.

I know that is why I deleted it,

How can you not ? A case of Stockholm Syndrome maybe?

A question for you. Just how much attention does Mankato pay to the hockey team? Do the students support it? Does the town support it?

What? You would turn down such an honor?

Better to go to Europe than the AHL. Money is a lot better. All those goals though? Makes you wonder was he being used wrong for 4 years at UND?

bale, I think we are all on the same page. We were just laying out different scenarios trying to get to the same common ground. You nailed a lot of things right on the head. We always thought, as you said, that hockey was above the fray. But alas we found that it is no better than the rest. Can we make bale an honorary UND fan?

You make a fine argument bale. We were working on the idea of neutral sites. You were working on a way to get the most fans in the seats. I think you are right saying that it may not be fair but it is the best for the league to go with your idea. I have always wondered if their really are enough casual fans to matter no matter where you play. I think I would throw the idea of drawing the casual fan and have it where the team fans will fill the most seats. As you mentioned about fans traveling I think we are working off how well UND travels. We travel well but the other schools really don't. I like jodcon's idea of having both tourneys the same weekend in MSP. The Metro Chambers could sell it as a big hockey weekend. But that is usually the time of high school bb tournaments and they use the Target and the X for those. BB is the same weekend at the Target Center this year. Kind of shoots down the big event idea. bale and gfg are right to let it play out and see where it goes. We all have the same thought that we wish to see college hockey succeed. It is not like we want to see the WCHA fail. If Penn St. had not decided to start hockey, with how much prodding from Alvarez and BTN we do not know, we would not even be having half the discussions we are having. Of course things change over time. But college hockey had found a groove with the different leagues and Penn screwed it all up. bale you do understand why UND did what they did though? Simple case of the haves taking their pucks to a new rink. I still think the league would have been just fine without Wisc. and the rodents. We could have added Miami and WM to take their place and all would have been well. I think of I was a Mankato or Bemidji fan I would not be happy with what has happened. Both schools took a leap of faith going D1 with the belief they would be playing in the strongest league in the country and now get delegated to a lesser league. From the top to the bottom at these schools have every right to be pissed.

Exactly what do you think we were trying to do? You can't get it within 150 miles. No matter what it is going to suck for the fans.

Somebody needs to google mapquest and check the milelage. Oh wait I did. LSU-GB 283 miles LSU-MSP 545 NMU-GB 178 miles NMU-MSP 397 Tech-GB 214 Tech-MSP 364 Ferris-GB 440 Ferris-MSP 632 Oops it seems that these schools are short drives from GB. More interesting though is that Tech and NMU are closer to GB than Bemidji is to St. Paul. Which by the way is 230 miles from St. Paul. Sounds like someone is mad that they are still stuck sitting at the kid's table on holidays. By the way, none of us are counting on the casual fan to show up. More like we are arguing that it needs to be in a site that is the MOST beneficial to the teams fans.

They were better. So yeah I would. I'm sorry but I have never been impressed with Kristo.

Forgot the smiley face. Out of driving by the sign 4 different times I have only noticed it once. Then only because I was looking at something else. Morley saw the one on the north side of town but I missed that every time I went by it.

How many games did you see them play? So you would play this years first line over Joyce, Bobber, and Hrkac? Guys that finish the play versus guys that finish only half the time?
