    Yeah I watched the feed as well and the MSU color guy was such a homer he kept yelling every time MSU would get close to scoring or if it looked like there was a penalty committed against them funny stuff.

    The goal by Schroeder was awesome I think the D had to get a new jock after that one. Decent game and I agree we played much better in front of Patterson than we did the night before keeping most of the play to the outside.

              He is for doing, but I've seen so many pros do the same thing. It's really ridiculous, let's leave the temper-tantrums to my three-year-old.

                  Pulled these quotes from an article on Notre Dame firing Weis. I couldn't help relating them to my favorite hockey team:

                  With the exception of Pittsburgh, none of the four teams that beat Notre Dame in November and sent Charlie Weis packing had more talent on defense than did the Irish. And certainly none of them, not even the Cardinal with the amazing Toby Gerhart, had more talent on offense.

                  The error is in believing that talent matters so much more than chemistry, or motivation or strategy, all intangibles upon which a coach must deliver.

                  Talent matters, but not as much as determination and discipline. Not in college football. In the next two to three years you are going to see more players from Notre Dame taken in the NFL draft than from Navy, Connecticut or Stanford. Even from Michigan. If talent were the most important element, Notre Dame would be far better than a .500 outfit the past two seasons because to be a .500 program would mean that the Irish were right at the median, in terms of talent, of their opponents. That simply was not the case.

                  In the past five seasons Notre Dame was all about schematic advantage and five-star recruits and not enough about plain old grit. As this program moves forward, its principles might want to acquaint (or reacquaint) themselves with the aforementioned classic Sinatra tune. Or, to go a little more, but not much more, contemporary, they could view the final moments of the 1989 Cameron Crowe film "Say Anything".

                  Lloyd: "No. You just described every great success story."

                    Apparently ESPN got ahold of Lucia about the Ballard incident and here is part of what he had to say (emphasis mine):

                    "There's no pretense, there's no arrogance, there's no cockiness at all," Lucia said. "He comes from the Minnesotan border from parents who are great people ... This one incident shouldn't impact him as a player and a person in a negative way. Something that was so unintentional. Because I'd take a team of Keith Ballards any day."

                    God isn't that the truth. Find some more Ballards coach!

                      No, break their stick over the goal when they get scored on. It was one of those things I looked at and thought; "Sooner or later that's going to end badly for somebody, worse than the actual goal".

                        Lucia is right. Keith Ballard is not a hack by any means, and apparently the review of the play will not even result in a penalty:

                        The Florida Panthers won't discipline defenseman Keith Ballard for his reckless swing of the stick that lacerated the ear of his goaltender, Tomas Vokoun, and knocked him out of Monday's loss to the Atlanta Thrashers.
                        Neither will the NHL. League spokesman Gary Meagher said Colin Campbell, the NHL's director of hockey operations, didn't consider a suspension.

                        "We never considered a suspension," Panthers general manager Randy Sexton said. "It was an accident, and (Ballard) felt terrible about it."

                            Looks like MN will only lose one player (Schroeder) to the world junior tourney team.

                            Hope he comes back.

                              He'll be back. Schroeder would definitely comeback to say goodbye before he leaves.

                                The way the team is playing though, not sure if I would blame him if he didn't come back.
