Brooks you might want to attend some gamblers anonymous meetings, last year you won the sig bet but still managed to lose everything by the end of the season and now we own your sig again. The first step is to admit you have a problem. wink

Haha I'm a sucker for bullsh!t bear55 or maybe just a sucker...Who am I kidding I'm in denial. Thanks for reminding about last year mad

Solbes, I really do hope the Gopher win the NCAA. I was just being a poor sport*grin*. I always thought Don Lucia is a good coach. He got a bad rap the last for few years but Minnesota didn't have the best luck those years. Things happen beyond his control and some of the fans were hard on him I thought. I say good for Lucia if they win. Good for there hockey program which hit a low last few years. I'm sure some of his critics won't give him credit but... Haters are gonna hate. Go Gophers

No doubt Lucia isn't a bad coach, after defending him the first couple years I piled on him pretty hard last year probably out of pure frustration after losing to Alaska at home. One thing I think we can say for sure is that Lucia can't do it alone and Guentzel is a major player in this turn around. The program took a big hit when he left but I feel a lot better about our future.

Yep...Mike guentzel will get a lot of credit. Maybe he deserves it. looked at where the Gophs are now in a matter of a year or maybe Hill was that bad.

They should give the week off after the league tournys. Then have back to back weekends for regionals and the frozen 4.

That is really a good idea, now lets change it.

I've got inlaws in town. I already warned my wife that I better not see one of them on Thursday or Saturday. If I do, I'm heading to the cabin to watch in peace.

Drop the puck already.

Until the new NCAA champion is crowned, I don't know about you but I am hoping for a 2 or 3 OT game on Saturday just to extend the time a little longer.

Here's to hoping both teams forfeit before the Thursday 7pm game. A guy can dream, can't he?

You guys get a taste of that UND/Michigan game I had to watch last year. You just kind of sit around and hope both teams get the flu and whoever wins gets killed on Saturday.

Man how good has the Gopher Sophmore class been this year.

Haula 20G and 48pts

Bjugstad 25G and 42pts

Schmidt 41pts from the blue line

Condon chipping in 11G and 30pts

Alt with 22pts

Holl and Parenteau stepping it up from last year, Parenteau has kind of came out of no where to become a solid player. Tom Serratore has also been a great 4th liner for us.

Amazing recruiting class!

Your right about the sophs. Great class, obviously some refection of no senior and juniour classes. I think condon becomes a top 3 scorer on a top line.

Just listened into Shaver on 93X this morning. He's down in Tampa covering the F4 and mentioned the disparity in locker rooms. 4 teams and only 3 rooms that resemble a locker room. BC seeded the highest gets the Lightning LR. Union gets the visitors. Ferris State gets an indoor football locker room. And the Gophers get a glorified janitors closet. Not big enough to even house all of the players.

Maybe that'll give them a little extra motivation to beat those wankers from the East Coast. I would love nothing more than to see a 4-0 score tonight. Come on Gophs!

Maybe the BC players' eggs were cold this morning - and they want revenge!

sick

Just kidding. Enjoy your extended season. My prediction: Despite Rau stubbing his toe in the cramped locker room, he scores the go-ahead goal. Gophs win 5-3 with an ENG. Sky-U-Rau!!!

Great venue choice by the NCAA's......sigh.

It definitely should help as a motivation factor.

Anyone BUT BC! Go Gophs!

So who do you guys like in the early game? I really have no clue and haven't watched either team all that much other than the regionals but something in my gut is picking Unioin.

Good first period, BC is very good team and have a 1-0 lead. Gophers were a little slow out of the gate but kind of took it to them in the 2nd half of the period. Lots of scoring chances, have to break the ice this period and get one by Milner.

No, there were 3 guys that he used to go with but they gave their FF tickets up a couple years ago. I even cheer for WI if they are playing against an Eastern school!!! smile

Gophs gotta bury one here.

I also think Bjugstad gotta step it up. Some of the other Gophers are looking great ..... but him not so much.

      Might not have to wear ear plugs when I mow!      That’s a spendy one.  It wasn’t hard to find one of those for $6k.  Comparatively and Ariens of the same size is $4,200.  A home owner grade JD for $3,900.  You could get into a commercial grade Z700 for maybe $8k.   I think the work I did today with mine would’ve killed that one there.

      On the south end...   This year's MN Fishing Opener weekend was not only great weather wise, the walleyes and saugers were caught in good numbers.  A main fish gut hauler working with a number of resorts commented it was one of the most productive opening weekends he has seen based on the amount of fish guts collected after the weekend. The goto presentation was a jig and frozen emerald shiner.  Emerald shiners are a staple in LOW and walleyes love them.  Other minnows worked also, but emerald shiners are a favorite of anglers for good reason.   Four Mile Bay held good walleyes in 12 - 18'.  Not a surprise as the walleye bite on the river during the spring season was good and as of late, sturgeon anglers have been reporting catching walleyes on sturgeon rigs.   The Lighthouse Gap area, Morris Point Gap and just in front of Pine Island held nice fish in 12 - 15'.  Across the south shore, 18 - 22' was holding good numbers as well.  As you can see, there are lots of fish around.     A quarter ounce jig in gold, glow white, pink, orange, chartreuse, or a combo of these colors tipped with a minnow worked well.   As a reminder, the limit of walleyes and saugers is a combined limit of six fish, up to four of the six can be walleyes.  All walleyes between 19.5 - 28.0 inches must be released.  One fish over 28.0 inches can be kept.  The possession limit in MN is one daily limit of fish. On the Rainy River...  Some nice walleyes were caught on the river this weekend, although most anglers hit the lake.  10 - 15' of water was the norm.     Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River has been excellent.  The catch and release season continues through May 15th and then closes until the keep season starts up again July 1st. Up at the NW Angle...  Some nice walleyes were caught in 18 - 25 feet of water, a little deeper than anticipated.  Points were good as were areas with structure.  The morning and evening bite was best.       As water continues to warm, go to spots for walleyes will be neck down areas, shoreline breaks, points and bays.     The goto presentation was a jig and minnow.

      I found this dock wheel floating in Black Bay. If it's yours or you know whom it belongs to, go and grab it.
