What has changed since they didn't recruit him the first time around? He was frustrated with playing time at St. Cloud, but didn't want to stay and work his way into playing time. I think Motzko is a pretty fair coach and wants to win, so I would have to assume that he thought other players gave them a better chance to win. I would hope and assume that if he did come here, he would be a walk-on, because like I said, if they think the line combo would be good, why didn't they recruit them together the first time around.
What changed? For starters, J.T. Miller never showed up on campus. McMillan was already committed to SCSU, so we had to go the walk-on route to fill Miller's spot in the class.

Funny but the media does not call it the Tea Party because the are not an offical political party. They are known more as the teabaggers than the Tea Party. The only place the are called the Tea Party, which is not correct, is FauxNews and other rightwingnut sites.
Funny how you chastise everyone here for the term "PN," but you have no problem slinging the word "teabagger" around.

Lou Nanne with Dan Barreiro on the FAN yesterday - about 21:45 of the podcast. Pretty good.

Anyone have the final thoughts from Tim Hennessy to close Saturday's Harvard at North Dakota mens hockey radio broadcast recorded and available?
Tim Hennessy, a man with unquestionable allegiance, (paraphrased) said the logo never scored a goal and went on to state why if losing the "Fighting Sioux" moniker and logo causes you to no longer be a fan or reduces your interest then you really never were a fan of what this program stands for.
Exactly. I was very glad I got back to my car in time after the game to hear him say this.
Remember: It was the UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA Fighting Sioux....not the Fighting Sioux of the University of North Dakota.
University comes first.

As Smoggy said, we would probably be more likely to have games on if CBS doesn't have to haul their equipment to Grand Forks just to show the game. Maybe that will be the kick in the pants necessary to get the infrastructure updated.
In order for this to be the case, wouldn't UND have to be one of the few teams in the conference without the HD equipment? Tell me how many teams in the conference broadcast their home games in HD; or maybe the better question is which teams even broadcast their games on TV at all?
-
I believe they just use the cameras FSSN uses, like FCS does right now. But I'm not positive on that. For something like this they may use their own cameras, but I don't think those channels are HD at all.
I would bet CBS college sports brings their own cameras/equipment. They did a CC/DU game this year in HD, and last year's Friday night UND @ CC game was on CBS college sports in HD. I don't think CC has much of any TV package let alone HD equipment in their building...unless they webcast in HD because that's the only way to watch their games that aren't produced by someone else's TV network.

To refresh everyone's Final Five memory...
In 1999 UND was runner up to DU at Target Center. In 2000, UND beat Wisco at Target Center. We've played pretty well there in the past. These were my first two Final Fives, and despite the building I still got hooked on the darn tourney...haven't missed one since! I (mostly) seem to remember not having a problem finding a good time in downtown Minneapolis.

As far as I know, the U of M policy (and the U of W for that matter) is that they won't play a team that is on NCAA sanctions for a "hostile & abusive" nickname. CMU is on the NCAA "cleared" list because they got the requisite permission to get off the H&A list.
The Gophers or Badgers would schedule us in non-conference games as the Sioux if we were to have permission from both tribes.
The U of M is just playing to the NCAA's hypocrisy.

I'm not mad at Tebow, I'm mad at every person in the national media crediting Tebow for everything when clearly the team surrounding him has stepped up huge.
Tim is a good guy with a big heart. I just am not crediting him for things he doesn't participate in.
He may not "participate" in the defense playing well, or the kicker making clutch kicks; but he does participate as a leader of that team that many - if not all - of his teammates have rallied around. Plain and simple, the guy's a winner, and his positive attitude is clearly contagious.

It's going to be interesting to see how he plays and adjusts over the next two seasons once the NFL defensive gurus have had an offseason to pick apart film from this year.

Goon, since your afraid to answer the question, I will ask another Sioux fan the same question. Would you want Ben Blood to stick up for his teammates If an opposing team was taking some cheap shots at some Sioux players? .
I'll take a stab at this one...
NO
I'd rather have MacWilliam do it.

Most of Lucia's angst was directed solely at the officials. There were several times when my expert lip reading skills deciphered "YOU GUYS F-ED THIS GAME UP!"
I'd probably have to agree with his assessment. Almot never in these types of incidents should the officials escape without some blame.
-
Dell was great IMO...D was too minus the very last play when they got caught watching and hoping Knight would bury the winner. Mac can't fall asleep and be a spectator.
Not sure I would put it on Mac. It looked to me like the GWG was more of a freshman mistake by Mattson - looked like he got caught jumping into the play hunting for a juicy rebound at the wrong time and let Walters get up the wing behind him. I could be wrong, though, as I was in a bit of an irritated state while watching the replay!

Backslash?
Damn...beat me to it. That's one of my pet peeves!

I think this is what many on this board have been saying for quite some time...I think Sicatoka has been trying to drive this point home in the nickname forum. Let the University take the path it needs to take to keep the athletic department going while the SL tribe takes a separate path against the NCAA. Should the two paths cross in the future, the name could possibly be restored. If not, so be it.
-
the weird thing is that they haven't followed that system that was said. 11 of the last 15 games between the teams have been in Grand Forks, take away the three from the playoffs thats still 8 of the last 12. There was a couple years where they played one series in Grand Forks and none in Minneapolis
The WCHA expanding to 12 teams last year probably messed that up a bit.

Gopher players could score, dance around, skate over to the opponent's bench, point to the scoreboard and it would be half as over the top as "Here is your UND Fighting Sioux Scooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooring." Especially at the Final Five.
But the maroon & gold "jersey pop" tops them all!

Thanks Jim!

Yes, until today there used to be an icon (dot, star, caption bubble) to the left of each thread title that when clicked brought you to the first unread post. The area to the left of the thread title is now blank.

I'm wondering the same thing, choyt3. I'm having the same issue.

The Bulldogs lost a of great players from last season's team, Mike Connolly (28-26-54), Justin Fontaine(22-36-58), Justin Faulk (8-25-35), Mike Montgomery (0-10-10) solid underated defenseman and Kyle Schmidt (11-11-22). I am not a math major or good at math but that is a 157 points from UMD's offensive production.
...and they still managed to put up 100 shots on Patterson. Not sure what that says about the Gophers D at this point, but we'll find out soon enough. Right now they look pretty good and are playing with a lot of confidence. They won't stay at 75% (or whatever other-worldly number they're at) on the PP, though, so they need to tighten things up a bit.
Right now it appears the Sioux's match-up with them in a few weeks may be "strength on strength" when it comes to their O and our D; and "weakness on weakness" with our O on their D.
Probably means it will come down to special teams and goaltending...as usual!

Based on the info at http://www.uwbadgers.com/sports/m-hockey/sched/wis-m-hockey-sched.html it looks like Friday's game is on FSN Wisco, Delayed, and the Saturday game is available via webcast at http://www.uwbadgers.com/allaccess/?media=265278. Looks like a subscription is required.

Patterson faced 100 shots this weekend for cryin' out loud! To say he doesn't deserve to be in the conversation about the best goalies in the WCHA right now is borderline ridiculous.

Considering what was lost in the off-season, not having Miller, St. Clair and Grimaldi (temporarily) to step in and fill the gaps means this season will be a work in progress. I'm pretty happy with a 2-1-1 record at this point. I think the road trip this weekend will be good for the team.

Yeah, I'm not sure how it all shakes out or what the potential scenarios could be. With all the highly sought after kids committing early these days, it may have been difficult to bring in a "difference maker" for the 2012 class so late in the game after Miller bolted. I guess we'll have to see what happens over the next few weeks...kid could end up somewhere else.
