2ndGenSiouxFan

It boggles my mind how the "interim" president and a couple of cronies got to make the final selection. For a process that was so transparent and engaging for many of us stakeholders, the way that they wrapped it up and made the final selection was an insult and resulted in a poor logo choice. Lets face it, numerous artists had better renditions online, and I'm not even clinging to the Sioux logo. The logo just stinks, and just as with the geometric head, it will be gone sooner than later.

I'm looking for some clarification. For me personally, I like to spend Friday and Saturday nights with the family, which means I don't get around to the games until later in the night, when the kid is down and the wife is playing on her ipad. That being said, I don't start the Sioux games until later, maybe 9, 10 pm. So with this streaming package, if I start the game up at at 9, will I be able to start right from the beginning of the broadcast? Or will it jump to where the stream is currently. A big plus to Directv was that I could DVR the Sioux games on Fox College Sports, and come start it whenever I wanted. I'm fine running an HDMI cable into the tv from the laptop, but if I can't truly watch the games "on-demand" even while they are in progress, then I don't want the webcast, and will just hope that Fox College Sports is available on DirecTV. Can anybody help clarify this for me?

Don't you have ND High School Hockey on your resume?

I don't know about you guys, but I got the slingbox setup at my mothers place in Grand Forks, so I now get all the games via slingbox to my pc, connected to my tv. The quality probably won't be true-high definition, probably akin to standard definition, but it beats the crappy webcast. Now if I can find a way to record on my pc I will be able to dvr the games as well... Stinks to have to shell out the $180 for a slingbox, but I don't have to pay the (noticeably increased from $60) webcast fee of $80.

Was this senior squad freshmen when we last lost to Yale in the NCAA's? Hak is a great coach, I hate to see this thread already, even though we're all disappointed in the loss. The only downside to me is that the loss yesterday really ruined my ability to give my gopher in-laws a hard time (for the upcoming year). I wonder how we'll be next season, losing so any seniors...

So from what I'm reading Hammer will be doing the play by play, correct? Why not bring Pat back for Color Commentary??? He seems to be better at that than play-by-play anyways, talking about all the old stories, and knowing random UND facts/connections... Just a thought!

Nice to see another Sioux Fan in Savage...I can't convince my wife to let me hang up all my memorabilia though...so props to you.

The guys at work were giving me a hard time the other day...suggesting we should be called the 'Sandbaggers' in homage to our recent fights with our rivers...

I was instantly against the 'Rough Riders' moniker for fear of stealing it from Red River HS. However, it has slightly grown on me, but why not shorten it to just the 'Riders' (Here's your Riders scoooooooring!). It seems to me that other fanbases will have too much fun with the 'rough' descriptor and at the cost of historical reference (which could be implied - for any knowledgable fan), I would not have a problem dropping it. It seems much more logical than Calvary...err I mean Cavalry I'm not as big on the reapers personally, I instantly think of death, and I would think that the University would avoid references to anything controversial like our current drone program. Sorry Sicatoka. I would be fine with the North Stars or Fighting Saints, though they might be stretches. Anyone else think that using the 'Norse' monikor would be termed a 'Vikings' ripoff (one could argue the same for the North Stars)...the last thing I want in a nickname is ammunition for my fun-hating Gopher in-laws....

Not that it matters, but I really hope we do not end up with an animal, conceptual (wild, heat, thunder, force from the north), or otherwise lame logo/mascot. Also, personally I like the 'Stars' the best of anything I've heard thus far, the question is, does the NHL own rights to the name, or just the image that the North Stars used to use? Just curious to know if anyone has any insight on this...Our colors match this VERY well...

Does anyone know how long this will sideline him for? Is this a 2-month or 4-month recovery? At this point it's 4 months til we start the season (approximately), so hopefully he won't be out at the start of the season.

Right, for some reason I always keep thinking that he was on the squad...will always wish that he had been.

Just a passing observation, but is Parise on pace to become the best US-Born "Runner-Up"... 2nd in the NCAA's in 2005, 2nd in the Olympics in 2010, 2nd in the Stanley Cup Finals in 2012?? (Not sure on his High-School hockey track record while at Shattucks, maybe someone can fill me in). I am obviously a huge fan, and I think we all enjoyed watching him play while he was here, and hopefully one day he breaks this current streak...I wonder if anyone else has come so close so many times...

I apologize if this has been asked/answered, I didn't see a thread in doing a quick (really quick!) search, but has anyone found a good app (Android in my case) for either the Android or Apple mobile operating systems that will report college hockey scores? I've been through ESPN's, Yahoo's, Fox's, and Scoremobile, and none have college hockey in them, sadly. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Random question, but anyone know what our record is this year with the black jerseys out? From what I've watched this season, they don't seem to be bringing in as many wins as in years past...
