Better....................

Dead then RED. The war mongers are on their way out.

Can this country become what the world once thought we were again? Time will tell. Hope temporarily replaces fear and despair. It is going to take 4 years to un-F**K what "W" has done to this country both global and domestic.


So what's up with the "red" stripe down the middle? Our friends to the west and then (directly) "SOUTH" must have been doing really well the last 6 years. Maybe we have a new LOGO for itsalltherefsfault loyal? This one is a bit better the RALPH's Vegas Party logo.

Don't Ya think so, pitbull with lip stick?

How they hanging? Banners that is...

Quite the night of hockey! Michigan State bottles up Maine and heads to the final with a 4-2 workman like victory. First time since 86 they make a final appearance.

The second game was a lil more exciting. Exciting because once again BC ends Suzie's year. The hacking and slashing got them this time. They got penalties when they least could afford them. Eastern bias I guess. Or was it these excuses:

"The amount of times they showed BC fans during breaks was also very sickening. They showed BC fans 10x more than they showed a Sioux fan. Grossing me out"

"Evidently the black and white have a line on the game"

"You just don't send a team down 2 men on the ice with 4 minutes left in final four game"

Final Four? Guess Florida State really took it to Suzie errrr, I mean Notre Dame. errrrrr....I mean North Carolina! LOL! Has any team ever been renamed more the the Tractor Pull Nation?

I'm not even going to address the ref's comments! Head over to itsalltherefsfault.com for the full read! OBTW. No you have not finished "Higher" then Minny. Both teams FAILED to win the Title. So, technically they are both losers! You can moth ball your Holy Cross Jersey's for a bit.

My BC jersey stays out for at least 2 more nights!

Is it October yet?

We have a couple banners to hang!

Brooms and Shovels

The Goof's have an opportunity to deliver SUZE and the Holy Cross cheering section another punch to the gut this weekend. They have managed to crawl back into the Pairwise hunt with their recent win
streak (read: cupcake round of their schedule)

My keys to a Goof sweep. Fast start. A goal in the first 3-4 minutes. Shadow the Super Soph's. Put checkers out there against them and follow them where ever they roam. Number 3-4 lines need to come up big this weekend.

Suze will be fired up no doubt a bought it. DU was fired up also but DU is a better coached team with more talent throughout the lineup.

I just realized that MY biggest perceived rival for Goof hockey is SUZE. You can thank J.P. at the X for me hating them even more. I used to appreciate the fact the you were a NorthStar great. The POS actually had the gall to turn around and tell me to quit talking about his kid(in the nets) like that! My response, "mind your own business, I PAID for my tickets!" The 2 SUZE fans next to me(50-60ish) looked at me and said, "he's(JP) an asshole, ignore him" I just about pissed myself!

Was that my brush with fame?

Now, the ONLY other series that matters in the WCHA. St.Clown takes on DU. This is going to be a HELLOFA series. The Stearns County homo's have been tearing through teams. Having witnessed them live at Mecca earlier this year they can only have improved. DU is a smart and tenacious team. If St.Clown thinks they can push them around they are in for a surprise. Two ties are in order here.

On DirecTV tonight:

Flickertails vs. Goof's 7:05 641
BC vs. BU 7:30 623
St.Clown vs. DU 7:35 645
Michigan vs. Ferris 7:35 610

Pesky Pioneers and SUZE!

What a feisty series that was. Couple of things, why wasn't DU's goalie called for the obvious dive? The Goof player clearly "whiffed" as tDon called it. Why did the Goof player getting punched (not throwing punches) get a fighting penalty? Anyhoo, a split is OK! Friday night did not go well for the POI. I counted three that clanked off the post. Puck Luck!

Suze makes an appearance at Mecca this weekend. Having a 6-1-1 record in their last 8 they seem to be on a roll. But wait! In games that mean ANYTHING they are 2-1-1. The other four wins were against junk teams. Lost to CC and tied Alaska State.

They are a one line wonder of a team. No depth. Terrible D and suspect netminders. But of course they will be jacked up for the series and will play hard as they always do against us.

Over at Itsalltherefsfault.com they are reliving past goals and games from their distant past. I think this is to hide their obvious fear and realization that they will be heading north with their tails between their "flickertail" legs after the Goofs put a shellacking on Nazi-boys gang. The tools are getting their HC jerseys all washed up at the local "Suds and Puds" and will be out in force this weekend.

This is a HUGE weekend in the WCHA. The braves head to Mecca and St.Clown heads to the arena of fading light at DU. Time to bitch slap Suze by sweeping them out of here and hoping that the series out west ends with 2 ties and a shit load of fighting penalties.

Oh, it's the HOME OF THE BRAVE! not braves. Class!

Sorry for the lack of content of late, still trying to settle in.

Trolling for....

Like most fans I go to various forums and read post about the other team games and so on. While visiting Itsalltherefsfault.com I saw a curious thread at the top. It's titled "Enough about Holy Cross" as I started my little journey into the minds of the SUE one thing struck me as odd. A few posters claimed the the SUZIE minions actually helped HC win the game. HUH? No the Goof's just laid an egg. Much like Suzie is doing this year.

Do the POI fans revel in a loss. Yes. Do they obsess? Hell NO! There is a little virtue known around these parts called Class. Do we run out and get a Alaska, BADgers or Tech jersey's and wear them to Mecca when Suzie comes to town? Abomination! Why disrespect your own team by wearing another teams colors? Class.

Oh yeah, I know it was the "biggest" upset in college hockey. Let's move forward people. GPLer's would jump on you in their forum for even posting something like that. Jup would lock it the second it hit the board. Class.

The emotion of playing the Sue will be high when they hit Mecca. Where will the teams be in the standings in a month? What will be the out come? Whatever the outcome one thing remains the same, some have it some don't. Class.

Just a precautionary measure

If you think about the decision by the U's braintrust it makes sense. Do not play UND sports! You know why? Because most of their other teams could probably beat the Goof's in other sports. Sad but true.

Read the Ch.5 report here.

In a gutless and toothless decision they are not allowing games against the SUE because of the name. Now why would they take this stand and not include hockey? Hummm..... they are going to pressure the non revenue generating teams at UND and start taking away their competition. Will other follow? Don't know.
The only D-1 sport at UND is hockey. They are the most consistent visitors to the post season. Could you imagine the WCHA or Mecca without UND playing? I can't. I can however image an arena without their obnoxious fan base and disrespect to OUR national anthem.

What's in a name anyways?
