78 und grad

It’s time to quit complaining about nil $$. Und either wants to compete or they dont. Thus far, it doesnt seem like they’re in any hurry. Locker room issues? NIL is the here and now. Our hockey program better change with the times. If not, we’ll be watching bottom tier talent. Jax might get max production out of them. Dont think these players will win us nattys tho. Go sioux!

Und players leaving? What a shocker. Seems to me….there were posts on here saying all the players loved jax? If he doesnt get th hc job, “players were going to leave” Guess all the players didnt love jax? Go sioux!

I’d say 3 of 4. Send strinden packing. Go sioux

Extra food for thought. Schloss is a good writer. Quite sad that he’s compromised his standards. All for what? Becoming a mouthpiece for und? For what? Having access to players, staff & admin? People see you as special or it’s an honor? So, He’s reduced to writing fluff columns. I cant imagine how he feels. He’s lost integrity, self esteem/worth, his image has taken a hit…..most of all. The impact of his cutting edge journalistic take, has lost alot of value. He even delayed informing his paid subscribers? Where’s his due diligence? Before attacking me for sharing these thoughts. Yes, i like schloss very much. He’s capable of so much more. We havent seen his best. I do know about that of which i speak. I spent well over 2 decades in the media bus. Had business relationships w/athletics and other depts. Came away w/some gr8 friends too. Myself & others understood the game. It was pfp. Und would kick us to the curb, and not lose any sleep over it. Schloss, give us your best!!! I still love my school. Still love sioux hockey. Go sioux!!

Let’s see if anyone comments on the nodak fiasco. Up until now, people wanted to give berry a free pass. This is the biggest red flag for berry. He lost credibility and integrity when this story broke. His lack of ethics shouldve become a major issue. I also believe there were alot of active bogus accounts recently. Go sioux

Wilbur, come on. This would be a nightmare

Very few people will understand that logic. Logic probably isnt even applicable. Maybe “the big donor”made the decision. A.D. needs to be sent packing as well. Go sioux

Schloss, c’mon. Are we to believe this is a scoop? What happened to your obligation to the people that read your columns? You’ve compromised yourself to the point…..you’re now a mouthpiece for an institution like und. Please please,…rediscover your integrity, pride and sense of self worth. Give us some objective thoughts. You as a beat writer, can hold und and sioux hockey accountable. We’d love to have confidence in a writer that’ll truly keeps us informed. Think about it. What do you lose If und cut ties w/you. Warm fuzzy convos with und hockey people? All media people know this. The very people you want access to, will kick you to the curb. Not lose one bit of sleep over it. Schloss, give us your best effort!!!!

Dane jackson? A STEAK WITH NO SIZZLE!!!!!

Search for new head coach? What search? There are no words….

Where’s kauker? He can tell us what’s really going on. Plus, the last time i chatted w/him. He claimed he could draw up some gr8 plays. Said Xs & Os were his forte.

A gr8 memory. We shant forget th machine used to resurface the ice. I believe that was designed by the crew @ the barn. Also included one of the purpur boys. Chicken wire was a classic lol

Pre 1972…There was also alot of fun to be had during sioux games @ th old barn.

These guys would be good friends of danes? If so, they’d be obligated to endorse him. If they didnt they’d look like heels. Go sioux

Also interview current staff because you dont want them to be offended. Dont want them asking why they werent even considered for the position? In theory, it sounds like its gr8 thing to do. Reality is, they’re still offended. They see right through the process. Doesnt make them feel any better. Go sioux!!

I like this. Thank you for your thoughts. Things are making more sense. Go sioux

Please offerup your thoughts on the nodak logo issue. Why is this so acceptable? Yes, its a good possibility i am repeating myself. Alot of other sioux fans are repeating themselves as well. Your point is well taken Go sioux

Yzerman19: thanks. I was hoping you’d respond. You, along with many others have the ability to take a step back. Look at things from many angles. Thats really the point. By all accounts he is a gem. But is it possible things went south in the last few yrs. I dont think any of us wants to burn it down. Please dont forget. You and i are on the same side. Im a brad berry guy too. Is it possible there’s more going on with this than we know right now?

Could we ask? We got hurt because we put our trust in berry. He let us down by how he operated. What happened to his standards when his daughter took control of the nodak logo? Could this be the biggest red flag of all? This doesnt bode well for his integrity. How good of a guy is/was he? Is it possible the sioux lovers on this forum, dont want to see this for what it really is. Maybe we really dont know him at all. Did we all throw ourselves at Berry? Now we’ll give him a free pass for some seriously poor decisions? I still dont want to think badly of him. Is it possible he’s got dirt on the athletic dept? He knows where the skeletons are buried? Was a deal struck? His lips are sealed and so are unds? We dont know the whole story do we? Time will tell. Go sioux!

Yikes. This might be abit harsh. Any of the disabilities you just made fun of….could easily happen to you in the future. Maybe AI messed up?

I like where you’re going with this. Is it possible? The pres/a.d. want the convo to stay focused on who’ll be the next coach? Maybe they want to get ahead of the oncoming scrutiny. Cleanout the closet full of rattling skeletons, b4 people find out what’s really being hidden. What’s not being talked about in the media? Is the real story.

Grant Potulny is a traitor? Not even close to the truth. As you may know, he had a brother Ryan. Und hockey blew this opportunity. They paid a price as well. Both chose to play for don lucia n the gophers. They both hoisted nattys!! You shouldve said: Grant Potulny, he’s a two time natty winner. Und blew it. Ive been friends with this family for 52 yrs. I do think you should do some research. Discover the real story. Go sioux!!

You might be right. On the flipside, we find out the daughter of the headcoach owns a logo? The logo’s on the team jersey? The legal papers for the logo were filed in 2020. The license was renewed in 2023? I think? Did und find out about this when they owed money for using the logo? They owed money tonthe daughter of the coach? This is a ginormous red flag. Miller’s a huge red flag. Think about it. Colleges, nhl teams didnt want to touch miller. The commissioner of the nhl realizes this cant happen. So he releases a statement that miller wont be allowed to play in the nhl. But in their most infinate of wisdom. Our a.d. & coach think they can take this on? The repercussions of this would be serious. Special interest groups and the aclu would rip our university to shreds. Huge blackeye for und. On top of it all, throw in mis handled off ice player issues. Nattys would only be a mirage. This would point to lack of ethics, integrity, common sense and maybe intelligence? There’s alot more going on here. Go sioux

Irish, there seems to be a pattern here. in no particular order. + BB wanted to bring in mitchell miller. Miller grew up in ohio. Miller bullied a disabled kid for many yrs. The legal system got involved. Nhl teams wanted miller. The nhl commissioner finally said. He will not play in the nhl. + Then we learn that BBs daughter owns the NODAK logo thats on the sioux jerseys. + It also seems to be true that a team captain was trying to mess with another players girlfriend. So this became an issue. The team captain really wasnt held accountable. I believe this created a problem amongst the players. + I just think..where there’s smoke there’s fire. I’d guess people on these forums could add to the list. + Do these things speak of a larger issue? Maybe BB has a hard time dealing w/tough issues. Does this lead und to wonder about ethics and integrity deficiencies? As a result, BB wouldnt be able to build a real team of winners. + Maybe und could see future problems. Like media outlets starting to snoop around. Issues like these can raise all holy hades. They’re very difficult to resolve and very costly as well. We all have different thoughts. I just wanted to share mine. I wont bring this up again. Thanks, Go sioux

Yes Irish. I did watch the sioux. I totally agree with you. Please know, ive never claimed to be a gr8 hockey mind. In addition, i never played the sport either. My years spent @ und were marvelous. I love the game and this team. I just get the feeling there’s a bit more here than meets the eye. There may not be anything else. Go sioux!!
