    It'll be interesting. Hak set the bar pretty high (besides Natty's).

    Short term vs long term success.

    Is this Brad Berrys first head coach job?
  4. Cratter
    So did some players just wake up and realize they lost and replaced their head coach while they were sleeping.
  5. Cratter
    Well that was fast...unfortunately. Good luck Brad Berry. Bring Back Hakstol.
  6. Cratter
    Here's to hoping Faison doesn't take the quick easy way out. Will Hakstol tell UND they should hire Berry thus ensuing he gets the job?

    You don't want 3 x 3. You don't want shootouts. Most people don't want ties. Sounds like a no win. 3x3 is a way to go to less shootouts. And with less people on the ice probably reduces injury's. Its just a way to better determine a conference winner. Doesn't affect national rankings...so learn to live love and adapt.

    The 50s are over. Passenger trains probably won't even exist much longer.

    Why do some players leave early while others stay and help build UNDs hockey program to greater heights. And try to finish "unfinished business." Is it always mostly about money?
  10. Cratter
    Sic's on a roll today.

    Those were indeed votes. Most of the members liked Force so far (by a far majority) as most gave it a thumbs up (a vote). Its not meaningless. If zero people voted for a name its no longer in consideration (as should be). But yes a single suggestion could end up being the chosen one in the end. But as you see the final three are going to a "public vote" which the herald poll is. It gives a pretty good indicator or what the general public right now is thinking. Still anyones ballgame, but its fun to speculate. *I should have clarified. That graph from from the herald websites poll and is nothing official from UND.

    Whens does the committee resume?
  13. Cratter
    Blackhawks 22.78% (557 votes) Force of the North 18.2% (445 votes) Cavalry 12.68% (310 votes) Flickertails 11.62% (284 votes) "The Force" had six committee members give a thumbs up to the nickname. Second place, Big Green and Flame, only got 4. Average these two things and Force is UND's new nickname. (I realize they have only went through less than half the list). The University did a great job of marketing.

    Whos got the skills to turn the Sioux logo into a "Blackhawk"?
  15. Cratter
    My problem with Minnesota's "logo" is they don't seem to have one for the teams nickname: Golden Gophers. Instead they have a drawings of a cartoon character/mascot in a bunch of different poses: holding a hockey stick, holding a football, leaning on a "M." Personally I like one consistent logo. Preferablely one that doesn't look like anything from Saturday morning cartoons.

    Hypothetically speaking: If, let's say, Force or Force of the North makes the final list. Does that mean the University knew what name they wanted the whole time and made sure to do what they could to make it happen. Or its easy to condition people to like something new after advertising and showing them it enough times. Force of the North is second on the online herald poll behind Blackhawks. But it wouldnt be there if the University hadn't "sold" it to the general public. But now that general public seems to "like it." If second theory is correct, shouldn't be hard for the general public to start liking a new nickname is a relatively pretty fast time frame.
  17. Cratter
    Why does Flickertails even get mentioned? Because it is a nickname of the state. Given that thinking, let's just instead use the better state nickname: Roughriders. They could come up with a pretty cool logo.
  18. Cratter
    Why do you think you could make a fickertail into a cool logo. You think the gophers have a cool logo?
  19. Cratter
    Looks like a lot of Wild Fans gave up on the series and sold their tickets to Blackhawk fans for this game.

    "Two guys who went to the same school. Just different times."

    Exciting Finish.
  22. Cratter
    And its official.

    Cavalry would be so awesome to stick it to the NCAA and make national headlines. *And the whole country applauds.*
  25. Cratter
    Blackhawks and Cavalry with the lead. Are you listening committee?!
