Hy-Vee Chinese is better than pretty much anything in the Forks.

In a column/article about UND hockey, longtime Herald sports writer Tom Miller dropped this bomb: Really, Tom? You had to go there? It's 2017. We're several years removed from the previous regime, we've grown, we've matured, we've tasted success, we've made the playoffs, and we are full of hope and optimism for the first time in a long time. Yet, you had to take a snipe at the previous coach? By name? Show some class. The writer here could have used big boy words and made several creative or witty allusions to the recent down period for UND football. He could have indirectly referenced Mussman a million different ways, and all of the readers in Siouxland would have gotten the joke, and maybe even smirked a little. He could have taken the high road and tied FB attendance to fan apathy or performance generally, instead of calling out a coach or a staff. This was small, petty, and mean. And bush league journalism. Okay for Deadspin, I suppose...maybe that's where Tom's aspirations lie. The Herald is blessed to have such an excellent sports writer in Brad Schlossman...I only wish the same could be said for his colleague and understudy. Boo, Tom. Boo.

Is schedule regularity a thing in MBB? I guess I've never been much more than a casual fan, but other than the Big Ten-ACC challenge (made for TV) which always falls on the same night of the week, I sort of figured game schedules were unstructured if not completely arbitrary.

Speaking of cars (and not politics), the Herald has an interesting editorial on the one license plate versus two debate presently before the legislature. If that is the best rationale they can come up with, how about the fact that 49 states allow pharmacies to be owned by out-of-state entities, and the fact that 49 states allow stores like Target and Walmart to open before noon on Sunday. Majority rules...let's get North Dakota out of the dark ages.

Now THAT is a URL.

The real test will be prom season.

This sounds awfully petty. As if no UND hockey fan has ever sought consolation at the end of a season by noting the eventual tournament fate/success of the team that knocked out the Sioux. The Bison run is epic, and historic, and deserving of as many superlatives as any NDSU fan can muster...let them be.

What is the tramp-stamp over the nameplate on the UNO sweaters?

Free NET broadcast gets an A++++++++++++++.

If UNO does get shut out, what happens to the fish? #whatsthatsmell

Those prepackaged taco shells do have a long shelf life.

Anybody but him. (gag)

It's public television, paid for by viewers like U-NO fans.

Schlossman's learned a new language, or so Twitter thinks.

UNO sending a Red Army detachment out to sever T-1 lines north of Omaha.

It's early, but this could atone for 8-4 at the Ralph back in the day.

"O"verrated.

Men against boys.

Somebody wake up Cam.

Pelini must have returned some of the money.

For the moment, at least, netnebraska.org is playing through the built-in browser on a 2016 Samsung smart TV. (An excellent picture, too!) At last check, nchc.tv's player was still not accessible (2012 or 2016 Samsung)...if anybody has had a different experience, please let me know.

Well, what do you know... http://news.sportslogos.net/2016/12/22/2016-creamer-awards-best-and-worst-new-logos-of-the-year/ 37th is like the new 28th. Or the 36th loser.

It's five pages.

I'd like to see a Roy-McEvoy fight. #tincup

I'm having deja vu...back to the first couple of pages in this thread right before Schools moved. Only problem is we now have TWO large footprints to fill.
