Easy there, big fella - I'm just having a little fun with you. I must say that this thread is probably not the best one to use as an example of Sioux fans being hypocritical though. I'll also say that your expectations of Sioux fans are rather high - I think you would be hard pressed to find substantial differences in the percentage of hypocrites comprising any fan base - whether they be Sioux fans, Manchester United fans, Dodgers fans or *gasp* even Bucky fans.

Gee, Chuck, don't be so hard on yourself. With both Beaverson and Gregoire it appears that one party did not make good on the bargain, so the second party declined to keep it in force as originally configured. As the story goes, Beaverson did not do what he need to progress and despite this Blais offered to let him get back to work with another year in juniors before coming to UND. Beaverson didn't want that so he chose to go elsewhere. Gregoire was offered a year earlier vs. UND and when DU changed the deal, Gregoire went elsewhere. Kind of a two-way street - which certainly was not the case with Clarke.

Mr. Duncan coming back is huge. For him to show this kind of loyalty speaks volumes regarding the program, Hak, and most especially himself. I have no doubt that a desire to finish his education palyed no small part in his decision. It is incredibly refreshing to see. He may now very well be my all time favorite Sioux - a stud's stud. I hope the fans all make him feel the love when he is introduced at the first home game next season.

Say it ain't so, Whiskey Joe! Say it ain't so!

Maybe little mikey ought to teach his players to take a check and to not slash - what a whiney ass-munch of a little bitch.

Do you have any statistical evidence showing that power plays are significantly up?

The way 'SU has restructured their media contracts may in fact be the way to go, but I would posit that not even Whiskey Joe's propaganda department would suggest that it's been proven to be so. The restructuring simply has not been around long enough to confirm all of its purported advantages and that it has not resulted in unforeseen disadvantages.

I am, along with many, many others (including at least a few WCHA head coaches).

See above (i.e. enforce the rules in the rule book - if you don't like the rules, advocate that they be changed).

Your willful ignorance should not be construed as facts.

Try posting something relevant to what you are quoting.

Yes, that makes sense, since North Dakota in the ancestoral homeland of the Jewish people...oh, wait...never mind. Hate to break it to you, Skippy, but you lost all credibility when you admitted that the real reason you want the name changed is to stick it to "the majority". It's also instructive to note that none of the anti-nicknamers have since posted trying to refute this as a reason to discontinue the name. If this were my website I'd ban a user that posts such racist garbage.

It's becoming obvious that "hermit" is not one by choice.

Miller's numbers were certainly stellar the year he won. I don't know this, but I'd be very surprised to find out that MSU played the toughest schedule in the country that year. Actually, I'd be surprised to find out their schedule was in the top ten with regard to difficulty. JPL's numbers should have been enough to guarantee him a spot in the hat trick. He isn't there and it's disappointing, but the boys still have work to do.

That is exactly what I am saying. When asked why they are offended by the nickname, opponents always run out their standard easily refuted list. In the end, they are always left with only "because we say so". This is not acceptable. I am not close minded. I have evaluated the situation and determined that there is nothing to their "side" of the story. To accept the opposition's invalid arguments is intellectually dishonest.

I vehemently disagree. There is no "other side" to this argument, as they have not a single point that is valid. Despite this, the name will unfortunately almost certainly be changed, but it should not be understood as justice being served. It will be quite the opposite. It will be because the unchallenged specious arugments of a bullying minority of a minority will be allowed to carry the day.

It's most disappointing and astonishing that any newspaper that wishes to be taken seriously would print any of DYB's unsubstantiated tripe. Nothing but rumor and innuendo. Embarassing.

All my tickets for the BSU series have been sold - thanks.

Really good point, since Jonesy was taken 5th overall just like Wheeler! Oh wait, what's that? He was taken 80th overall? Hmm...

When can we expect to find out what punishment the WCHA has meted out to Don Adam for his unarguably and incredibly poor job of officiating in this game? Can anyone review what Peltier did to Trupp and credibly argue that Peltier should not have gotten five and a DQ? That is when Adam lost control of the game and his actions (or lack thereof) need to have consequences.

I think we have just found the username under which McFeely-Touchie posts on this forum.
