Now, if that ain't "hostile and abusive" NCAA.....

I thought I saw Wis averaged like 7.5 turnovers per game this season (incredibly had just 1 in a game vs Iowa), which is very disciplined hoops. And to think Bo Ryan did not start coaching at D-1 level (was at D-II I think for many years) until he was 51.

Not dumb IMO. The Cin Reds pro baseball teams, especially in the 70s when they won at least two WS, were unofficially known as the Big Red Machine (T Perez, G Foster, P Rose, J Bench, J Morgan, C Geronimo, D Conception,...).

Not exactly Hak vs Blais thread subject matter but partially is at least. A certain coach's team has not won a natty since 2000, has appeared in consecutive double digit NCAA tourneys, while he's taken that team to 7 NCAA tourney semi-final/final appearances. Fire Hak....., wait, it's the very successful Tom Izzo (who ain't going no where for the moment, at least if not on his own accord)!

Spot on. I'd rather be big man on campus playing in front of large crowds vs riding a bus and playing in front of smaller crowds.

Agree. I'm friends with a Ralph worker who has inside sources and says Zane is back next year. Besides Boston's decent goalie situation, goalies can play well into their mid-30s so thus not the rush to leave. I could be wrong though.

I don't think so, at least not now. The big 10 (aka, lil 6) is a joke hockey conf.

I like what you said. I look at it as a pool player is the one playing, it's on him to make the shots, so not a fair comparison with a coach. A hockey coach can only recruit and coach, he doesn't actually play though but he gives them the opportunity to get there. Hakstol has done that brilliantly, in fact 7 times in 11 years in the FF. That's pretty damn impressive. If it was the NHL and not one and done, he would have two natties.

Uh, not that I agree, but I can see Warriors being tied to Native Americans (not that it's a word unique necessarily to NA) and thus UND not being too comfortable with it for PC reasons. Silly stretch I know but I can see it happening.

I like Predators for it's double meaning. One, it recognize UND's nation's leading unmanned aviation program/AF's unmanned mission at GFAFB. Two, it recognizes the only real predators (and guess who that was, wink-wink) of the bison on the plains. I do like Jets or Flyers too though.

Wow, impressive for UND.

Spot on.

Good point Oxbow6.

He could of lowered just a hair and hit him in the shoulder or chest, couldn't he? He had a good look going in and appeared to target the head (albeit, head was down, but you're talking maybe a half-foot) despite having a few steps to adjust his hit. May disagree but college puts the burden on the guy laying the hit, not the guy with the puck.

Well, playing devil's advocate (and in defense of geaux_sioux), the Sioux could of lost to St Cloud 1-0 if you recall how the fat dogs scored their only goal very early in the first period. Face-offs may seem nit-noid in the big picture, but that's how we gave up our lone goal. But overall, yes, great effort by the boys. 4 STRAIGHT = 8

Agree the Betty ain't the Ralph and no video board but have you seen, for example, the Sacramento State gym? I don't think I'm exaggerating, it looks no bigger than and similar to EGF Sr High gymnasium. There's a few others like that in the Big Sky from what I've seen on webcast.

"your"

I got no axe to grind in this Godsmack and I have to agree with our assessment.

That's what I thought too? I thought he got him in the side of the chest/ribs.

Funny you say that about banning in heaven there is no beer song by the Sioux pep band, I've been saying the same thing for the past few months in light of the anti-alcohol move. I'm still surprised they are actually allowed to still play it.

Same guy from Sioux hockey at the Ralph I believe.

An old classic by Super Tramp comes to mind. With a busted knee cap that happened maybe 4 weeks ago there's no way in hell he'll be ready for Boston. I'm no doctor (but I did stay at...) but his Sioux playing career is over, that's for sure.

Odd, I always thought too (and what I heard) that it was #16 HC losing to #1 Min. Still a big dal though cus it was the Gofers in our barn!

Hey, I'm glad you said that cus I saw some of the game and thought it looked dark. TV usually likes the bright lights for games but that's not the case at the Dunk.

The X or did you mean TC?
