Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but I don't remember seeing anyone
pooh-poohing the Sioux for losing. But then, I haven't really been following
UNoDak recently. Alls I know is that the WCHA has 2 great teams (the Sioux
and CC), while the rest of the league is mediocre at best.
 
With all due respect, you don't seem to have enough to worry about. As a
Gopher fan, I get ill when I realize that I'm *happy* that the Gophs were
able to tie BC in their second game this past weekend, after punting the
first game 8-4 (the Golden Ground Squirrels gave up 5 3rd period goals in
that one). As long as your not using your sticking fork, may I borrow it?
 
Please excuse the preceding rantings of a bitter old man...
