VIRG FOSS: How about a lifetime DQ for WCHA leadership?
"In the movie 'Forrest Gump,' one of Forrest’s famous quotes is 'stupid is as stupid does.' ... If a remake of that classic movie is ever made, I’d cast WCHA commissioner Bruce McLeod and supervisor of officials Greg Shepherd in lead roles," columnist Virg Foss says.

VIRG FOSS: Remembering Ole
Just over a week ago, I held the greatest four-legged athlete I’ve ever seen in my arms as he died from a lifelong eating disorder that finally claimed him.

VIRG FOSS: A sportswriter, but a terrible fan
"I have a confession to make," columnist Virg Foss writes. "As someone who has spent much of his life writing about sports and the people who play them, I am a terrible fan."

VIRG FOSS: A true sports fan
I came to a full understanding of what a true sports fan is the other day as I underwent the second colonoscopy of my life — and hopefully my last. A true fan is one who stays loyal to his team, win or lose, a champion or not.

VIRG FOSS: Of pucks and puppies
Maybe it’s because the Boston University Terriers were coming to town for a hockey series that my thoughts turned to puppies. Terriers, puppies, you get the connection, I hope.

VIRG FOSS: Coaching legends
I would guess that not a lot of casual college hockey fans, especially those not located on the East Coast, know much about Jack Parker. The 68-year-old Parker, head coach of his Alma Mater Boston University the last 40 years, announced his retirement this week, effective when this season ends.

VIRG FOSS: Where the greats play
In the early 1970s, Bridston invited Ron Absey, Jerry Knutson and myself to join him in Georgia to play the famed course, two weeks or so before the start of the Masters. Let’s be upfront about this. None of us were golfers in the class of Bridston. I might have been the worst of the four. But a chance to play Augusta National? Put me in coach. I’m ready to play, today.

VIRG FOSS: UND has all the makings of a Frozen Four team
It’s been about 35 years since I last laced on a pair of skates and played some hockey. So after I drove from Grand Forks on Wednesday to my lake cabin near Bemidji, I was shocked to find the makings of a hockey rink in my front yard.

Virg Foss: Late Sioux surge becomes trademark
“Listen my children, and you shall hear Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere.” — Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, 1860. My tale for today isn’t as riveting as Longfellow’s classic poem. But it ties in with today’s opponent for the Sioux hockey team, Yale University, so it’s a bit more timely.

VIRG FOSS: Tough to find another name
In a way, the unknowns of my flying squirrels remind me of the uncertainty surrounding what to call UND’s athletic teams these days. Officially, the days of the Fighting Sioux athletic teams are past. It will be years before another nickname may be adopted.

VIRG FOSS: USA goes for the gold
Every gold medal won by the U.S. in hockey — in the Olympic Games or the World Junior — has had at least one player, coach or father of a future gold medalist from UND connected to it. And this year, UND rookie Rocco Grimaldi is skating for the U.S., a good omen indeed.

VIRG FOSS: Sioux rally against Gophers rates as one of best ever
"As I watched a true Miracle on Ice — UND’s amazing rally from a 3-0 hole to beat Minnesota 6-3 in the WCHA Final Five semifinals last Friday — I wondered if it was the greatest comeback in Fighting Sioux playoff history," Virg Foss writes. Turns out there was one UND playoff comeback that bettered last week's stunner.

VIRG FOSS: A tough goodbye to a great coach
They held a funeral in Northfield, Minn., on Tuesday and it broke my heart that icy roads prevented me from being there. The service was for Tom Porter, 83, who was my football and hockey coach at St. Olaf College in Northfield.
