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).

Yah, Geno really struggled shooting-wise last Sat. Not a good night. If Hooker doesn't get 26 pts total in the two games then I'm guessing it won't be a sweep for the Sioux this wknd.

Good question GFG regarding Grimaldi. No doubt a talented player but sort of an odd career at UND, seemed like he should of had way more points than he did I(I think so anyway). Talented player (like a gnat at times) but his play was frustrating at times too. Not sure if it's a size thing or what. Yes, seemed to be very easy to knock hit off the puck but I'm no great hockey mind.

Yah, gotta. What happened to that one UND hockey coach who sucked so got "fired" and then took a "demotion" down to the NHL? Can't recall his name...

S&D certainly don't bring in much "revenue" (tennis too) but that ain't the case (look at women's ice hockey) when it comes to college athletics and balancing act with title 9. I like your fall/spring point though.

Lower bowl but that's a steep price for W Mich tickets. Looks like you're trying to make a bit of profit, good luck.

He's a real good kid, 21, was both a top student and skilled athlete at EGFSH. I believe he's now is a junior at UND with geology major. He's the type of guy you'd want your daughter to date so the money will be in good hands.

You cannot be serious!? You are a very funny guy, trying to yank my chain like that. Good stuff!

Hmm, hockey thread. Didn't know USC had hockey. Sweep, great news!

Sandy said before tonight's game though pretty much like "let's hope (or let) the players decide the outcome tonight". You know, if you take out a guy who's coming in on a clear scoring chance and w/o any attempt at playing the puck then you're going to put in in the hands of the refs, whether they rule a penalty shot or penalty for 2 min power play. To take it out of the hands of the ref then don't do that, okay. Cripes.

Not sure what happened with him but he was on the bench in street clothes.

My God, what a freaking shame. They finally get some students (albeit majority ftbl players) at the game but 4 ushers and 1 security guard have to dampen the spirits.

God forbid, plesae, it's not the same jokers who run the FCS playoff selections...!

You got that WRONG Dog colored shades Biddco, it WAS a PS. Clearly the Dog player was totally beat, made no play whatsoever for the puck, and his only goal was to take out the Sioux player (can't blame him at all given the situation and his positioning)--and he succeeded--and the resultant call was proper.

Spot-on assessment Oxbow6. Ref had no choice but...

If he is, I gotta assume he was being sarcastic, no...?

I hear you. I love watching Sioux hoops (and T-wolves and Goofers when they're half decent...so not often) but the number of timeouts is so very annoying. Play the freaking game, my God!

Uh, that's exactly what I've been wondering. If he's healthy, certainly that's got to enter the thought process I would think.
