Yeah talking about the MacNaughten Cup. Minnesota also won the MacNaughten Cup in 1997. As did Colorado College in 2005. Wisconsin was the last team to win the MacNaugten Cup outright and an NCAA championship over 20 years ago.

Make that two of his sons as WCHA refs then.

The Cup is basically the kiss of death. No WCHA team has won it outright and won a NCAA championship in the same year since Wisconsin did it 21 years ago.

You mean the WCHA Supervisor of Officials? That Greg Shepherd? The one who.... and... The one with a conflict of interest hiring his son to do officiating? Hired by the WCHA commissioner who got in trouble for money missing at UMD? All you can say is WOW! What a league we have!

Do they need to start adding "challenges" to hockey? Has to be an odd feeling being a ref at center ice watching the replay knowing you made the wrong call, and knowing you still have time to enter the replay booth, but you don't out of "principle." Basically saying "screw" getting the right call!

Oregon St. by two.

Hard to believe this before this year: To recap this season, The Fighting Sioux beat the Gophers 3 out of 4 contests.

Yeah, I couldn't believe that. Would have loved to have heard the refs explain that one. Maybe they will ask the coach on Sioux Sports Extra. Thank gosh it didn't matter.

Sioux women win today. I was there. The infamous man around here, Dakota Dan, even took me. Don't quote me, but I think attendance was around 2,900.

Sioux wearing the business suits again.

4-3 sioux.

That's not true at all actually. For one. The whole article written in the Herald today is about how they want to push the deadline back for changin the Ralph.

I know there is little chance the 2013 schedule is going to stand like this, but isn't the home schedule amazing! South Dakota St Montana South Dakota Cal Poly All Star cast right there.

You break the rules, you get punished.

President Kelly and the UND administration told the Board to start to retire the nickname. My statement stands. I am still flabbergasted one man gets to choose the nickname.

Did I read that right, the man that gave up on the Sioux nickname by wanting its retirement before the deadline (Nov 30), is going to pick the name nickname!?! One contemporary man? The first step should be emailing State Board of Higher Eds. The process normally goes something like: 1) Hire a committee of UNDers to submit a list of names to the NDSBHE. 2) NDSBHE votes on a new nickname. This is the biggest outrage ever. I can't believe they wrote that. Who cares the "process" Kelley uses. In the end it won't matter. He will choose some PC name he likes. Bears, Eagles, Ground Hogs, Elk, Moose, Fish, Sunshine, Snowflakes (oh and you better believe "Spirit" just ain't for marketing. Neither was the "Force.") (although ND Fighting Spirit I like . We have the spirit of fighters , but it would never have the word "fighting" in it.) This deserves its own thread: News Flash (from UND officials) NO ONE MAN SHOULD HAVE THIS KIND OF POWER!

Is the climate changing for us to have record flood after record flood? I know a 100 year flood doesn't necessarily mean 1 in a 100 years but 1% chance any given year. I think they need to change that saying or something. Given this rate 60 foot permanent flood protection in the grand cities doesn't seem adequate, especially given the foot or more added to future crests once fargo gets their permanent dikes built. 2010 flood at GF 46 foot 2009 flood in GF 51 foot 2006 flood in GF 48 foot 1997 flood in GF 54 foot 2011 50% chance of second highest flood on record?

For you Lloyd anything is possible.

There down 8-1 to BC in the third period. ha

They replaced the cooling elements. That problem is suppose to be fixed.

I heard you have a mancrush on coach hak.

Just point out that this Sioux win wasn't necessarily an upset (according to his computer ranks which is used by the BCS). 50-50 http://masseyratings.com/team.php?t=5538&s=101140

This team is fun to watch...and they are young! They have come a long ways together this year. They are making good progress. The future looks bright.

You are holding on to a pipe dream. Still be "here" unofficially. UND will not be officially known as the Fighting Sioux. The bill will not pass.

Yeah cause its so hard to make a phone call these days. I wonder how people have time to browse message boards. They must got have much going on.
