Only true for the Final 5 which were literally some of the most boring, unimaginative names suggested. Even the top ten list was very weak.

That's a lot of speculation there. Have they even published the finalists yet? Brian Jones had good timing last year. I doubt they'll fire him this year even if he lost every remaining game. I just don't think Kennedy would want to deal with that PR after cutting sports last year. Now I could see them firing him if if they do poorly in conference this year and start poorly next year.

I wouldn't say that...really all of the good nicknames were eliminated well before the voting even started but Fighting Hawks is tolerable albeit barely. We just need a better logo...

I'm from Minnesota and I still like Wentz. He's a good guy with an inspirational story. Same could be said of Thielen. While I didn't cheer for either in college, I have no problem cheering for them in the pros. Like @sioux rube I'll typically cheer for my home state teams assuming UND isn't playing them.

Just think...this could have been our logo...because nothing strikes fear into opponents like a rainbow.

My family does this intentionally as we live across Minnesota and gave different favorite teams (Gophers, Sioux, Bulldogs, Mavericks and Beavers). I gave my Gopher fan godfather a camo Sioux undershirt (he's a hunter) and he asked how soon is too soon to regift. Apparently it's one year since I got it back the following year. Last year my Gopher brother got my daughter a goldy hat...we needed the hat so we told her it was a beaver since my parents went to Bemidji State and my wife goes to Oregon State online. Also Goldy looks more like a beaver than a gopher.

If only we had 1 or 2 other venues that could host basketball games in order to support larger crowds...

I've done that before. Complete with the Sioux Jersey (have to use the Blackhawks logo)

I'm confused. I thought there was only DI and DIII for hockey.

No one views the NIT as better than the NCAA tournament. It's a consolation bracket. Neat to play in and even better to win, but everyone wants to go to the big dance.

The problem is that the Flyers fan base has no patience. Hakstol and Hextall may both be in hot seats if they don't make the playoffs.

Watching the game on NCHC it looked like a trip to me. After all the debate I'll have to track down a replay tp sanity check myself That being said, this is a complete overreaction to Gardner. It was a very minor penalty that barely had any contact (if any according to some other posters). I don't know what universe you watch the NHL in, but in this reality players would never get suspended for that.

At this rate we will get 9 tonight alone :-D

In all seriousness I'd include Greene, Commodore and Chay Genoway.

Blood. But only if we are playing the Gopher alumni team :-D

Damn autocorrect

Good point. I always liked Brad Eidness. He was one of our best goalies and I've heard some argue that he was better than Dell. Regardless he ended up going to law school instead of going pro. On another note, what about Matt Fraction?

I don't know about fan forums but their local media has been putting him on the hot seat since day one. It would seem that missing the playoffs will put a coach in jeopardy regardless as to the circumstances or previous record. So in short, of he makes the playoffs, he will probably be fine. If he regresses from last year, he may be in trouble.

Not sure if this has been shared elsewhere yet, but I found it rather interesting.

Oh. Is that bad? ;-)

Maybe we can score 6 goals off of this timeout :-)

I could see that as a lone exception.

Too many penalties. Did Hakstol sneak back onto the bench?

I don't see UND adding any sports anytime soon. If they did, they would probably start with recently cut sports.

They don't want to pay for one. Seems like they should have one though.
