I concur. However, we've heard about so many "play through it" injuries after recent seasons I'm wondering why another skater isn't looked at. Blais seemed to run with 26 (15F, 8D, 3G).

14 forwards: seems like opportunity for a walk-on (as one more would make five lines for practice). And no name for a third goalie, or did I miss it?

The WCHA?

Only maybe as a motivator. And now, for those of you waiting for me to say it: The only "poll" that matters is the "pole" a championship banner is raised on.

There are close to a handful of players from each of Florida, California, and Texas (plus one from Ohio) today. Yes, you have to keep looking in your own back yard, but you also have to see what else you can go out and get.

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?
