    *one very fine institution representing their state and one okay institution in Fargo representing some farmers, pharmacists, and engineers 

    Ahem…the College of Engineering is at the University of North Dakota…

    As he then proceeds to write an article online engaging in the “trash talk” LOL

    What a tool :) 

    What do you expect from someone that calls himself “Ace” 🙄?  Has to be a total tool…

  3. I am encouraged that our new coach realizes that fundamental changes to the hockey operation organization are needed to stay in front of the ever- changing college athletics landscape.  Also, I suspect that the oft panned term “culture” was in former times termed “identity” - really just semantics - and really not something over which one should obsess.  My <<<<$0.02.

    Is this the P5-G5 split I predicted several years ago? What shockwaves will be generated from this that will impact schools in all current Divisions/Subdivisions?

    You and several million others - hardly an unique take.

    Behind Nokotas, yes. But that one didn't survive the consultants. 

    I suggest the powers-that-be change the name to "Fighting Scouts" with a Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery themed logo(s).  "Fighting" is particularly appropriate in this case since the expedition was comprised of members of the US Army.  "Corps of Discovery" should also be used as secondary marking (on signage, uniforms, publications, merchandise, etc.).  This would be much more relevant to the state, as they spent more time in what would become North Dakota than in what would become any other state, and much more marketable.  Fun fact - the ND state highway that runs along the east and west sides of the Missouri River are designated "1804" and "1806", respectively, to commemorate the years Lewis and Clark went up the Missouri and came back on their return.

    Anyone else having buffering issues on NCHC.tv?

    NCHC.tv has not been stable for me at all - keep losing the stream and it picks back up sometimes much earlier in the game.

    Now that it is period break, of course it's rock solid....

    As I am in coastal South Carolina, the "Sioux Yeah Yeah" name would be a total sleeper name. Nobody would get it unless they are either a tribal member (highly unlikely), or are a UND sports fan (maybe even more unlikely??) But if a UND fan, it would definitely spawn an impromptu meeting!

    Sioux Ya Ya is a little shorter.

  8. Why is bussing deemed to be so much safer than flying?  Or is it really being used by the NC$$ as an excuse to reduce costs?  Is there really a quantifiable difference in risk that can justify ruining bracket integrity?  I’m sure they’ll also use “attendance” as a reason to ruin bracket integrity as well, which is the ultimate hypocrisy - more people is more risk, right?

  9. I had no issue going to nchc.tv on my phone browser and then using AirPlay to my Apple TV - I got in and out (my decision - not forced to by streaming issues) several times without incident.  Stream was strong without buffering or pixeling.  I had found that nchc.tv was much more stable than the app last year, and it seems it may be the case this year too.

    Five were killed. In 2016. 

    But, what's I am seeing is BLM and Antifa living rent free in your head. 

    In spite of way, way more evidence of atrocities carried out against left leaning groups and many times by the police, you cling onto those other situations that happened much more infrequently. 

    The facts are there. But, you choose to ignore them.  Fake news in your minds because of your zombie like loyalty to an orange fool who cares nothing about any of us much less our country.  He does like to lie and line his pockets.  Maybe that's why he attracts the minority of folks like you? 

    You would love some kind of revenge, wouldn't you?  Is that it?  You know, act out some perverse fantasy agsinst BLM or Antifa for your buddies in the sewing circle?

    It would be laughable if it wasnt so pathetic. 

    Well, have fun in your fantasy world.  Maybe you'll see more videos and dream of shooting a water cannon at citizens or doing something even worse?

    George Floyd died because a cop, while being on video, laughed while putting his boot on his neck until he died.  You apparently don"t give a shi$.  You just wonder why these BLM people and others finally got fed up and are saying enough is enough.  

    Maybe if you at least studied root cause analysis you might figure out why the streets have been filled with protesters.  But, I doubt that would happen.

    Btw, the macho bull&#036 routine doesn't work on me either. Lol

    That cop with his knee on George Floyd’s neck wouldn’t have been on the force if it weren’t for the police union.  Which party has an unwavering support of unions?  Why are there public employee unions at all?  Isn’t the government the ultimate source of good?  Why would anyone need protection from the government?  Is it hypocrisy to insist others submit to the benevolent will of government, yet feel the need to protect themselves from that very same government by unionizing?  Root cause - a result of that party’s positions - they need to own it, but they won’t.

    You need to understand that the government creates more problems than they ever solve.  Government solutions are a one size fits all which doesn't work.  

    Indeed - the smarmy caption to the image in the post above would be more accurate if it read: "We've done everything we can think of, and all we do is make it worse".

    I asked for R ideas earlier in this thread and...crickets.  Except, of course, blaming folks for being poor.

    I just might be that not all problems can be solved or improved by government action -  or the corollary - there are limits to what government can do to remedy any specific problem.

    Isn't the first time it has happened and won't be the last.  Even outside of the athletic arena, many younger siblings will look at other colleges and go to other colleges because they don't want to follow in a older sibling's shadow.

    That said, I am not saying that is why SBD chose DU. However, it may have been a consideration.

    There’s never a good reason to choose DU.
