    Isn't Farley (one of) the instigators on their team?

    I forget which one was annoying me in the our last series with all the dives and hacks after the whistle.

    He's their leading goal scorer and is second in points. Pretty much their best player this season. That's a big injury, to say the least.

    Both of these describe him pretty well - his twitter has "bugz" worked into it.  He was with the Force in Fargo for two years prior to UMD, and he was the same way here.

    They had an Indian image on their jerseys (Chief Illiniwek) and to comply with the NCAA's NA policy got rid of all Indian association. Fighting Illini can be associated with someone from Illinois( the state not the tribe ;)).

    Weren't we always told they also had to drop the "Fighting" and just be the "Illini"?

  3. Biggest waste of money the state has come up with in a loooong time!

    3 of our new plates arrived today.  The one that didn't?  That's the one that's expired and was the first ordered.  8+ weeks of waiting for a new plate that wasn't needed!  SMH.

  4. Don't misunderstand - Yeo was going to get fired, and I'm not implying he should have been kept.  As stated, something had to change.

    My sarcasm was aimed at the people who believe that was the only problem.  This team has other issues (Pominville, the proliferation of Gophers they keep overpaying for, a couple bad contracts, etc), that also contribute to holding them back.  If they don't get a late season turn-around and make the playoffs, I think Fletcher could well be fired.  If they do make the turnaround and make some playoff noise, I think the "interim" will get removed from the coach, probably with too big of a payday attached.

    I love the PWR. Especially when we are near the top haha.

    For all the confusion PWR creates (promotes?), after the football selection show this fall, it's now my favorite system!  At least when the season is winding down, you can start to predict a few things -

  7. Such a sad day for the city of Fargo and everyone in/around it.  Waiting for the officer's name, worried it could be one of our friends on the force, was just terrible and I can't even begin to imagine what the families went through - it had to be infinitely worse.  In the aftermath, finding out all the indirect connections you had to someone you never knew, brings it even closer to home.  Things like this just leave a person feeling helpless and angry.

    Just read every player is healthy and available for this weekend......so who sits?  

     

    On D IMO it's either Thompson or Shaw.

     

    Forward lines

    CBS

    LJ Chyzk Pogo

    Gersich Gardner Wilke

    JJ Simo St Clair

     

     

     

    I'm guessing Shaw.  Keaton hasn't been at this best, but I doubt he sits.

    Too bad you have no response because my original challenge was aimed at you, sounding like you knew what you were talking about.

    I provided you a simple resource to understand the legal side.  What specific info do you still require?  If you have an honest question (not theoretical, vague and open ended in an attempt to make some other undiscernible point) for me, I'll do my best to answer it.  I do some work with trademarks, and have a direct connection at the US patent office to use as a resource if you stump me.

    My original post was simply a summary of the situation leading to the sale of these limited items.  It was for the people who were late to the party and had beaten the horse to death yet.  The rest of us, whose arms are tired, have since just been trying to figure out your angle. :silly:

    The big deal is that someone somewhere created the impression that UND was simply hog-tied by the NCAA, and selling new FS merch was a requirement.  In fact, NCAA strong-arming has been greatly exaggerated throughout this process.

     

    EDIT: I wrote a reply to you, but then realized you're just working on a point of UND being behind the requirement.  Since you're not actually discussing the requirement's existence, or what UND has to do to follow that part of the settlement, I'm just going to step aside and let you continue your endless path.

  11. Wild deserved better last night, but they have some weird obstacle to getting the puck in the net.  Koivu's goal could nearly have been overturned. SMH, I just don't understand how they're not scoring more.  Obviously a couple of stops by the goalie were going on his personal highlight reel, but that doesn't account for the other 30 that just didn't get through.

    Do they still have the games too close together where you don't really have time in between games to have a sit-down meal at a nearby restaurant?

    Pretty much - you only really have about an hour if you stay for the entire first game and want to be back for puck drop on the second - games at 4:08 and 7:38.  At least this year they're ticketing each game, so none of that stupid, painful, ridiculous, (etc.) wristband crap when you head out between games.

    edit; supposedly separate tickets.  Mine haven't arrived yet.

    Puckett signed the first contract that worked out to be $3 million per year and was the highest paid player in baseball at the time. That doesn't look like a hometown discount deal. Mauer could have made more money if he had signed with a team like Boston. He didn't take a big discount from Minnesota, but probably could have gotten even more somewhere else.

    Yep - but people don't want to realize this.  They just want to see the $$$$.

    I will still say Jason Pominville for that prize. $5.6M cap hit for three more years for a player who should have been in the press box before Vanek and Zucker Saturday night. I hope they can buy him out after this season.

    Agreed.

  14. Al has had busses each year.  I expect he will again, but you'd have to contact JoAnna to be sure.

    We're staying at the Crowne Northstar.  There are Sioux fans pretty much at every hotel in town that weekend.  Tickets are bought and we're planning to go regardless, but I do expect the boys to be playing ;)
