Re: All Things Denver XXXVI
All true. And the film also inspired the fearsome UAA student chant: Nanoo. Nanoo.*
Nanook of the North was certainly the first non-fiction feature film and predated the use of the term "documentary" despite some criticism because a few scenes were recreated. One persistent myth: Allakariallak, the great hunter who starred, died of starvation shortly after the film was released. Actually, he died of advanced halitosis, in the UAA student union.*
*(don't ask, just go with it).
Fascinatng Factoid of the Fortnight
DU's next 4 opponents are named after 3 myths and a drunken revel.
1.UAA Seawolves (don't call them seahawks they get really testy)
2.uaf Nanooks In Inuit mythology, Nanook (Inuktitut: ᓇᓄᖅ,[1] [na.'nuq],[2] lit. "Polar Bear")*
Just for you Old Pio, The word was popularized by Nanook of the North, the first feature-length documentary 1922.
3.Canisius Golden Griffins combo lion-eagle-god only knows
Finally the drunken revel--Niagara Purple Eagles smaller than a pink elephant, but they can fly

Thanks for the tip. Good to know they chose U-18s to cheer for, not our friends to the south

Too much too soon. Maybe we should shift our loyalty to the DU tiddlewinks team. Very few injuries I hear.

If those 6 can't play DU is down to 19 players; 16 skaters and 3 goalies. Shades of last season when DU had trouble dressing a full complement of players for a number of games due to injuries. If Allen and Bennett can play DU will have the full 18 skaters.
Viz, game thread is yours; 2 thread starts = 2 shutouts and 2 wins.

Re: All Things Denver XXXVI
FYI, for those with smartphones and have the tunein app; 102.3 ESPN in Denver is one of the channels on it. You should be able to listen to the DU games live on your phone this weekend and during the season for free. As usual the radio broadcast will be simulcast this weekend for a fee on Pio Vision at www.denverpioneers.com. Also the Alaska Tournament this weekend is being webcast on America ONE Sports for I believe $8 per game. http://www.americaonesports.com/upcoming_events.asp?q=s&value=26&value2=Hockey

I just had a senior moment. At first glance, I read the second line of your post as "Dakota at Mermis."

Mermis would still win.

Re: All Things Denver XXXVI
Big sports day for me. The Oak Park Huskies take on Hinsdale Central. Huskies are ranked. 6-1.
Then DU plays in the Fish Breath Invitational. Somehow I'll be able to watch the h.s. game (for free) but only listen to the DU game (unless I pony up a fee). Oh well, I have my earphones and blind folds on, expecting a veritable tsunami of "Jayisms."

No, I hadn't. Yes, just a teensy bit sarcastic. I'm resolved to move on from that incident. I've had many sleepless nights since that awful weekend.
Old Pio, I assumed you didn't see this.
Believe it or not people answered this "like seriously"
Am I the only one who saw a wee bit of sarcasm here?

That's because you were trying to count Jayisms instead of sheep.
