Agree, I thought the very same thing. But the after the 911 call stuff is what leads me to believe she had an agenda in the first place.

Maybe she saw that email but just thought it was creative writing?

Better if it's Uranus and not mine!

Is "over"crowded more crowded than simply "crowded"? : -)

Yah, missing the Wild game. It seems like a lot of channels were out an hour or two ago and some have come back but FSN is just a dark screen.

Interesting, my brother in Rochester is thinking the same thing as you. Me, I'm flying out on Wed staying til Sun and hoping like hell the Sioux win.

Not to degrade NDSU football's 5 year title run (very effin' impressive!) but it shows you the difference between what admittedly are two niche sports in the U.S.--NCAA div 1-A ice hockey and NCAA div 1-AA football. - Hockey final is in Tampa, FL while football final is in Frisco (or Fisco?), TX - Very successful UND hockey coach leaves to coach the NHL's major market Phil Flyers while ultra-super successful NDSU ftbl coach leaves to coach at div 1-A football's Wyoming in Laramie (not so sure it's not a step down actually from NDSU/Fargo other than the big ass $$ to be made). - UND's top drafter hockey players are always in a dilemma whether to leave college early to turn pro while NDSU's top players always stay 4 years and hope to be drafted in the first 3-4 rounds (that's huge news to go that high). Both though are admittedly awesome programs, no debate.

Better be or the NHL is not taking player safety seriously at all. To swing your stick at the face of another player, real bush league and dangerous.

I like your noon time departing Orlando on Sun. We depart Sun morn at 7:00 a.m. from Orlando (but staying in Tampa), early wake up!

Yah, just crazy talk! And a major metro area of 4M folk just 4 -5 hrs away. Who woulda thunk?

I'm no great hockey mind but have to agree. Look at guys like Parks, the Genoways, Trupp, Duncan,... decent/real good college hockey players who stayed 4 years and were just not the NHL prototype. I never played hockey (did play soccer so I do know how to dive :-) so hard to explain but you know what you see. Who knows, maybe Stecher will one day be a good NHLer.

Me and 4 other Sioux fans will be in section 328, row G. GO SIOUX!

When you arriving in Orlando? Five of us also arrive in Orlando Wed afternoon and splitting rental on a Nissan Pathfinder to drive to Tampa, fly out of Orlando early Sun morning.

When you play one and done in sports that don't lend themselves to that (e.g. hockey and hoops in NCAA, the cream does not always rise to the top) and top teams don't get rewarded with home field/ice advantage (e.g. say as in football, such as NDSU in 1-AA playoffs up until the final) that's what happens and will continue to happen. It makes for great tv drama/excitement though.

I believe both Junk Yard Dog and Macho Man were both McDonald's All-American's. Fierce recruiting battles. One and done. : -)

How the hell did they not call that trip?!

Yah, I noticed the tv guy said something about that during the BC game and thought the very exact thing--uh, yeah, "home ice" each of those years...

Fair enough, agree. And while I love a nattie, let's hope Berry can accomplish year-in year-out excellence over a decade+ what Haks did. I'll take Haks over Eaves and Sandelin anytime.

You fear what you do not know...

Slap me silly, weak moment!

$500 out of Twin Cities or where?

I tip my hat to Weber, beat us at the Betty twice this season. Tough team.

Agree regarding Smith, good point.

Can be hot at times but at times some of her drives to the basket are maddening, gets thwarted off by 2 or 3 taller defenders underneath and at times is laughable (her judgement). You're thinking why did you do that Dyer?! And her long range game is certainly hit and miss.

Color me Sioux!
