The Sicatoka

Given Dominque Hawkins, Delano Saporu, and Kenny Watkins are our top three corners right now you may be a tad off in your assessment.

And if there ever was an expert on pointless ...

I guess someone else can win at cards in the Zamboni room now. We so often think of sending people from UND Hockey to the pros when really we've had one here all this time.

As others have said, you could be mistaken here. All you have to do is get a copy of the FSU, or Utah, or Illinois, non-conference schedules. And also please remember the "big universities" (assumably you mean Wisconsin and Iowa) have stepped back and aligned their campus policy to follow the NCAA list. UND is currently off that list and has until November 2011 to find a way to keep itself off said list (or face what comes with being on it).

Where's the Brewster championship caliber scheduling philosophy in that?

Not a lot more need be said. (More details in case you need them.)

Lawn mower toss! Lawn mower toss! Lawn mower toss!

Texas Tech fan in boots; North Dakota fan/alumna in pink*. * Yeah, it's a school color, and it looks good, so what's the issue.

Check first link here:

Well ... yes. Meghan Mutrie's video audition for Canada's Next Sportscaster.

So you took the dare and double-dare.

Someone point out to the Texas Wreck fans that our hotties play soccer and hockey in college and then go on to international rugby play, including surviving and recovering from an injury that would end Graham Harrell's or Michael Crabtree's career. Hotter. Tougher. Be better. Be North Dakota. Meghan Mutrie > (this space intentionally blank as nothing deserves the comparision) Or if you dare ... or double-dare ...

The vast majority of posters on a blog called "Bison Media" are fans of ...

You expect anything better from them? Their own radio voice for football and basketball (and their biggest Fargo media cheerleader) calls them "3rd graders". And he would know them best. My only question: When did they graduate up? That fourth try at 2nd grade must've taken.

It's how they make themselves feel superior when all they really have is six more degrees and no DI championship banners.

North Dakota used it first. Check. Notre Dame trademarked it first. Checkmate.

Please tell me it went past the women's tee.

Reading here and there I guess I'm confused. Some of the initial responses here: No big change. Yet there are so many negative reactions also. If it's no big change, what's the issue? Do these folks not understand that both the Ben Brien logo and an interlocked ND are both official athletics logos? Hockey featured the Brien predominantly; football featured the interlocked ND predominantly (see: helmets). So they tweeked the interlocked ND somewhat. And let's face it folks, they tweeked it. They went from a block outline font to a 3-D pointed serif font. I don't understand the negative reactions in some quarters. Are some thinking that this is the last sign that "Sioux" and the Brien logo are gone and the reaction is based on that?

Didn't the Kellings have their first child recently?

Sweet mother of mercy. Look at that: He's completely collapsing a mattress! Are we sure that a rink, the ice and concrete, would support him? I wouldn't want to forfeit because we broke the rink. Secondly, although I'm happy that stack of grimy towels is there, are we sure it was necessary. It seems he may have "natural cover".

Better dead than red.

UND is the big boys in DI hockey. Why act small time if the ultimate goal is big time? Show me two "big time" schools that share a common logo. If you aspire to more, you have to start behaving the way those with more behave. "There were all kinds of things I was afraid of at first, ranging from grizzly bears to 'mean' horses and gun-fighters; but by acting as if I was not afraid I gradually ceased to be afraid." -- Theodore Roosvelt

And you thought there was no contact in NHL All-Star games ...

FCS and FBS. Better, what is Grambling aspiring to? I'm guessing they're already there and happy. If you want to be more than you are now you need to be independently recognizable.

You folks are missing the point: Teams at different sports or levels of play share common logos (the "G" for example at the NFL, FBS, and FCS levels). What you don't see are (like I said) Wisconsin and Washington sharing a "W" or Minnesota and Michigan sharing an "M". Notre Dame and North Dakota are at the same level in DI hockey. (OK, "Our Lady" has some work to catch up to North Dakota. ) They shouldn't share a logo: unique identities.
