Who's Sam Houston play for?

Spot on Homer.

Absolutely agree. "Far" better, not sure, but for sure better. Yes, UMD could win the Lil 6 conf title.

You know, I've bashed him once or twice here but you just might have point.

Yah, hope so. That's this upcoming week, correct? LIke you say, different game days to allow travel time then. I suppose the Fri 2:00 game (wish it was 5:00) is due to men's home hockey game Fri night vs W. Mich. Hope I can get off work a few hours early Fri to catch it (when the boss is away,...).

Wow, no post to UND women's hoops current season thread since my last one 2 weeks ago? The men have been stealing a lot of the thunder I guess. The ladies though sure have been road warriors lately, winning a tough road game today at Sacramento State. Frosh Klabo with career high 18 pts, leader Lloyd with 18 pts too and Rosoe adds 16 pts. And frosh Morton provides another spark. And they win despite 25 turnovers (!) but they have a big rebounding margin. Much improved team over the dozen games, quite the turn-around by Brew's Crew.

Super performance by Q over the wknd and a big sweep by the team, very impressive. Great crowd too, the Betty revved up nice.

NDSU has (had) Carson Wentz and we have (still) Carson Shanks, no fair. Seriously, watching him is like passing by a car crash, you don't want to look but ya just gotta. It's an adventure out there on the court. And yet one night I just know (hope) the guy will score 24 points--it's coming.

Fair enough. Yah, do need to enjoy any and all wins as the parity in BSC is damn close (redundant I know).

Agree, that was 5. Not sure who's more frustrating and wrenching to watch, LJ or UND hoopster Carson Shanks?

Yah, you make a point. Before tonight's game I checked and in last 10 games Sioux were 6W/3L/1T with 31 goals for and 24 goals against. Certainly respectable but not season 1st half numbers. When you factor in that 6 of those 10 games were against CC (improved team lately but still in Univ Wis territory record-wise the last 1-3/4 seasons), W. Mich (play UND tough but having a poor season) and Duluth (have talent/play close but their record is what it is) that record doesn't overwhelm you and nor does the goal differential. Tonight definitely an improvement though with good win on the road against a struggling but quality opponent! Let's hope it continues.

You would think they would be but I guess they're not regulated based on what UNO has. Tim Hennessey said on radio pre-game show that the neutral zone there is small and that it might cause off-side issues with UND players. Yah, it's very noticeable.

Other than that empty netter, you made a good call MuggsyGobes!

You make a point and I know you're having fun but actually not to far from the truth. UND has set a pretty high bar for its hockey program and we are a demanding lot.

Uh, I don't think so. I get ya but 24 pts (nice no doubt) is a hell of a lot less than 38 pts (wow), 14 pt diff and we only won by just a few pts. Hookers 38 pts was more than DOUBLE his avg points per game production while Forte has scored 20+ pts a dozen times this season. So, tonight while certainly a nice game for Forte was not necessarily "big" (it was damn near average) while for Hooker it was no doubt a HUGE game (hell, highest scoring output for a player in UND div 1 era). I doubt you can say that for Forte's 24 pts (a bit above avg). So no, can't do it all day...

I hear you guy about hockey in GF (it belongs at the Ralph, rink of dreams!) but money talks so the Ralph needs to give a better deal in order to compete with Fargo rink.

I think you make a good point, should of stayed 4 (well, maybe 3 years) at UND. I think he and his agent knew though that his stock was plummeting maybe and thought best to head to the pros b4 stock dropped lower.

wow, you make a great point/observation and put into words what I was thinking. Created the chances but didn't close the deal quite frequently.

W/o Hooker's big game, we lose. Simply as that.

Wow, doesn't sound very rosy for next season at all then. Yikes.

Only the freaking NCAA could find trouble with a bird having feathers and I wouldn't put it past them. My God, if that happens then ban all nicknames/logos now. Nice design!

Yeah, gotta agree with that.

Seriously, I've always wondered how in the hell a school gets away anymore with being called the "Midgets" in this PC/everybody's offended by everything world we live in now (I got no issue with it)? Enjoy it while you can cus sooner or later it will be gone...

The bridges in GF over the Red are what, all within 1.5 miles max or so of each other and near downtown GF? The newest one being built approx 50 years ago (Point Bridge) I think? But 50 years ago there were hardly any folks residing outside that 1.5 mile length (I suppose south to maybe 17th Ave at most?). With south development in GF having extended way beyond 17th Ave in the last 25 - 35 years there needs to be a more southern bridge say at 32nd or even further south with the future in mind. I live on the Point and to get to 32nd shopping area it's damn near a 15 min drive (yeah, I'm whining!) to get there for just a short distance as the "crow flies". Yes, traffic at 32nd or where ever would increase but traffic flow in the residential area of GF near the Point Bridge is quite busy and I'm sure those folks wouldn't mind some relief.

I noticed the same, think you're right (increased emphasis).
