I agree with this mostly. I prefer the Sioux name and usually still use it. But I don't mind the name Fighting Hawks itself, it wasn't my first choice but I can stomach it. The logo is where my support falls short though. It's dreadfully boring. That being said, I got my daughter and Hawk jersey and let her use that name. It's not her controversy and I don't want her to receive same hateful judgement that others spewed out earlier.

I my be biased because I'm in the AF, but I don't really understand the apprehension towards former military members. The former military members I've met in academia were some of my best professors. Are there any specific examples of military leaders not working out at UND?

That would be my top 2. Rosowsky is a distant third. Frankly I'd be shocked and a little angry if he gets it.

NCHC.tv has been my source of UND hockey for 7 years as I've lived too far away for any games (although I did come back for 2) Now that I finally moved and live close enough to Omaha for a game there I've been told that I'll be on a work trip that weekend. :-(

Cousins reminds me a bit of Romo. Historically doesn't do well in clutch situations and we saw a bit of that yesterday (overthrawn balls). But like Romo, that doesn't mean the loss is his fault. Our defense was bad, Bailey missed a PAT, we had turnovers, Cook got injured and yes, there were some blown calls and bad playcalls. The end result, we as a TEAM lost. Admittedly, I used to be an Anti-cousins fan and sometimes do still wonder what we'd look like with Keenum or Bridgwater. But the truth is Cousins is the best QB we've had in awhile and we aren't going to get anyone better in the near future. We still have games left and still have a very good chance to win the division or the wild card spot.

But what if you have to fly from LAX to London?

These refs tend to "Let 'em play" when it favors the rodents.

Yeah. My browser didn't update the site in time. I've edited my post now to correct my error.

Yes!!!!

Depends if he liked winning more at SCSU or being paid more to be .500 at Minnesota

Did the Gophers dress their third goalie?

Well dang. Now I'll have to wait until Friday to smack talk my gopher brothers.

I must be watching a different game. Evening going into OT these guys are doing great. I think they only allowed 1 shot on goal in the 3rd.

I agree. There's a clear #1 here IMO. Honorable military service, provost of one of the most prestigious academic schools in the nation and pro-sports. Bring in the general.

But we won...why would we drop 3 spots?

We should have kept it to make a new rivalry trophy

I liked Weatheby's performance too. Definitely could have won in regulation of the officials hadn't blown that goaltender interference call.

That should have been a penalty instead of a goal

The AFROTC cadets who pulled the nets out for the kickers used to do that. Not sure if the tradition lives on.

You can cherry pick matchups if you want but we've all been through these hypotheticals before but it still comes down to three things 1. We have good rivals in both conferences. There will never be a perfect conference thanks to the Big Ten. 2. Big Ten won't be inviting anyone until they know what Illinois is going to do. Not to mention any other actual Big schools. 3. The NCHC is the best conference in hockey hands down. No one is leaving the SEC for old rivals.

I suppose I could have worded that better. But recently yes. Especially if you exclude Wisconsin and Minnesota. I don't think we should leave the NCHC and forgo the majority of our rivals just so we can play those 2 teams more often. A Big Ten offer would have to extend beyond just hockey for me to be interested.

Amazing that some people still think the Big Ten carries the same weight in College Hockeybad it does elsewhere. It lacks the power and tradition. Maybe someday it will those but for now it falls short. We have more history and rivalry against the WCHA, and some Hockey East teams than the Big Ten, excluding former WCHA members.

It was nice to see them execute some plays and set up shots rather than just take the first possible shot. I for one am happy with their performance this far as will the pairwise.

Yeah. Last year we ended the season at .667 which was the best in the NCAA. Currently we are 2nd with .620 and the Big is currently leading the NCAA with .641. There is something to be said for Big's weaker strength of schedule, but as a conference we could have done better. Hopefully we pass up Big Ten by the end of the year.

I concur with your edits
