Ha! The local radio and TV weather terrorists are doing their best to scare the population with the doomsday predictions of death and everlasting misery.

My sense is after the spring like days we've had lately the shovels have been hung up for the season and any snow that comes "will just have to melt, dammit."

Looks like all the spring breakers have escaped just in time.

Oz, solid showing by Grand Rapids at the state tourney. They go 2-1 and take the Consolation Championship.

Here we go with the "2026 Minnesota State Tournament All Hockey Hair Team" :

Rats. Grand Rapids goes down 3-2 in overtime.

Down a goal late in the 3rd, GR pulls the goalie and scores with 28 seconds left to tie it up.

The double flip off goalie for Rosemount will have to deal with Minnetonka in the semi, and they are a powerhouse.

Nice run by the boys from da range.

Dear Oz,

Good to see the Halloween Machine back in the state tournament. Interesting that their first round game is against Rosemount. Interesting because the Rosemount goalie had a video clip that went viral of him giving the double bird the second they defeated St. Thomas HS in the Section final. I realize this isn't UST, but close enough.

Aimed right at the St.Thomas fans he maintained the double flip off to the Tommie fans until one of his teammates grabbed him in celebration. I imagine Rosemount has been knocked out of going to the tournament more that once by the Tommie Cadets.

Anyway, go GR. The Halloween Machine has returned to St. Paul. 

Quote from: ChickenHoops on February 21, 2026, 11:14:17 AMHeather wants me to go to a dinner tonight, cocktails start when Point game tips off.  Apparently a fancy place, I have to wear a suit. Going to try to listen to the game in my earpiece, hope the reception is good.

I have the same reservations I had last game, I think the Pointers are running on fumes.  Hope I'm wrong. Heather thinks Oskar Kangas will go off. Best 3P shooting will win this one.

Pro tip: If going to an expensive enough restaurant where you need to wear a suit, I suggest complete media blackout until retiring to the coop. After Heather slips into "something more comfortable," you can both watch the livestream playback with zero knowledge of the result.

You are welcome. 

Stout got the ball with .4 seconds left on a baseline throw in full court, C-Hoops.
When Oshkosh scored the game was over.

Jump ball call with 1.5 left, which I didn't agree with, gave Osh the ball. Terrible defense on a backdoor screen, easy layup for the win.
This L and the Point loss are tough last 2 home games.

It's the hot new varsity sport for women, utilizing facilities that schools already have in place.

Maybe if Oshkosh was adding ice hockey, which the WIAC would love, it would be a bigger announcement to some. But it's still a big deal, if that's what the announcement actually turns out to be.

CH - no ire from me. I heard it was a concern over playing time, but that's not inside information, just conjecture.

I am glad he is a BlueDevil.

Guessing they are announcing the addition of women's flag football.

Anyone have any idea what Oshkosh Athletics' "major announcement" is?

Could be that they are adding women's flag football.

The 1 for 2 was off a flagrant foul 2, which also gave the ball to the Devils.
Correct on the foul shots via drive. Oshkosh had 5 seconds to work with that resulted in a long shot at the buzzer that missed.

D3fanboy, maybe he was talking about repeating in the conference and not the national championship.

Regardless, I wager that UWRF has a better chance of winning the Super Bowl next year than you have of getting within smelling distance of Sydney Sweeny's perfume. 

Money can come from various streams. Living the D3 lifestyle is wealth enough for many.

Greek, he already said "she has quiet hotness" so c'mon, how do the Pointers compete with that?

The guy has been hanging with chickens and not chicks up until recently. 

Heather is a nice name.

Dear Oz,

Cut a hole in the ice, get a plastic bucket to turn over and sit on and face northwest for luck. You may hook onto the elusive muskellunge.

As far as the Hamm's commercial, I do feel like I remember it, or perhaps it's just a Grizzly Adams flashback.

Good you got out of town for awhile, I hear on the news the sharks are feasting down under. Welcome home.
