NoiseInsideMyHead Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I didn't want to needlessly bump them so as to sully their historic significance, but I do recommend that people peruse some of the oldest threads in the Women's Hockey forum for some interesting perspective. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're just 2 people whose opinions mean no more than anyone else's on the issue, as far as I'm concerned. The annoying part is Schloss retweeting everything, so I've unfollowed him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightingsioux4life Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Sounds like people want Schlossman fired and anyone who disagrees with the decision silenced. Sorry, this isn't Iran or North Korea, it doesn't work that way here. I agreed with the cuts and recognize they are necessary. But to expect the people negatively impacted to be happy about it and to keep their mouths shut about it is pure wishful thinking. There is no law that says anyone has to like it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post nodakgirl93 Posted March 31, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2017 Can't waste money on something like this. Does anyone know why woman's hockey was added in the first place? Unless they add checking to the game it's not the same game. And Schloss really needs to stop. It's rather embarrassing how the ones against this cut have responded. Grow up. Nothing is free in this world. The state told them they would need to cut their athletic budget. They had no choice. Woman's hockey is the most obvious and best choice. And the lammy twins need to give it a rest. Complaining about this, wanting more money for the Olympics, and asking people to buy their t shirt to fund their family's free vacation to south Korea. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complaining about this, wanting more money for the Olympics, and asking people to buy their t shirt to fund their family's free vacation to south Korea. Again, I agreed with the decisions made this week. But nobody "needs" to "give it a rest". When you make controversial and/or unpopular decisions like this, you will have a backlash. That is why they hired a Title IX consultant. Kennedy and Faison probably understand and accept that. But very few people on this forum seem to understand it. I do think Schlossman should be a little more careful about his choice of words (calling someone a moron isn't a good idea). But again, he is not obligated to agree with anything. Wayne Nelson whined and complained for weeks about baseball being cut last year, but he didn't get nearly as much grief as Schlossman is getting right now.

Popular Post The Sicatoka Posted March 31, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2017 To the folks upset about how this information was released: UND had to inform organizations with which they have contractual obligations (see: WWCHA, WAC swimming). The first "real news" (note the quotes) about this on Wednesday was from Todd Milewski on Twitter. Knowing his ties, someone in the WWCHA offices leaked. That's not on UND. Next, how, when you haven't announced anything yet, do you tell coaches and teams, "Uh, yeah, you're fine for now, but, uh, don't practice or recruit or have visits this week." To quote the great and wise Det. Lenny Briscoe, "I think that's what they call a clue ..." Finally, to those that said "individual meetings" should've been held. And you didn't like how it came out this way? OK, schedule 26 meetings with WIH players, and another 40 with WSD and 30 with MSD. Really. Really? The meetings alone are a tell, and after the first one goes down, with social media? In closing, the WIH coach knew. He admitted as much in the GFH story; however, he probably couldn't admit it to himself. Putting his team on the ice with a recruit coming in says as much about him as anyone or anything else. There's no go way to do something like this other than to just do it. 17 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
