Would this name be offensive to our italian-American/Sicilian brothers?

I get the feeling that any use of the word Sioux will not be acceptable by the braintrust over at NCAA headquarters. Although they do understand the word when it is spelled 'Sue'.

Agreed 100%. Who knows what the outcome could have been had UND's/North Dakota's leadership given keeping the nickname an honest shot?

Yes, and the NCAA also validated the UND delegation's parking.

Curious to see if fssn will remain on the same satellite coordinates as last year. For the most part the signal was very weak compared to prior years.

Screw'em. they should have thought that through before they started messing with the good folks of North Dakota...fight the good fight! Go Sioux!

Exactly! Best post I've read in weeks...one little upswing in the program and all of a sudden they think they are "Hat Trick Jesus"...Let's see how they do over the long haul and what kind of fan support they get...

Put yourself in the kid's position...If UND doesn't want my old man, then why the hell would I go there?

I will miss the old WCHA but I will not miss the leadership (or lack of) provided by our favorite felon, Brucie McClown...

Fta: free to air

crap! no games in Mankato this year!

Thanks Wooger!

Minny fans should be happy...now they are virtually guaranteed a 4th place finish (something they had trouble reaching recently) in their new conference...well at least until Penn State gets a few scholarship players and tOSU stops sucking so much...Still, 6th place isn't so bad, right?

Right...we didn't want him anyway.. :)

They should have gone with something from Slap Shot like the 'Iron League' or 'Federal League'...

yes, this could potentially suck big time for the fta'ers...

NCHC? Wow! Must have taken them minutes to come up with this name...

Well at least the North Dakota leaders are going to give this one more try...any chance they could leave Kelley at home?

Cool...we could be the BC of the West...

Yeah, I'm lying.

I watched it live and heard it clear as day.

my bad...

You're just saying that because you are a Flyers fan!

I especially enjoyed the classy canadian fans that booed during the US national anthem before. Game 7...

Nelson better put some more meat on his bones, hopefully he adds about 20 lbs of muscle this summer...he was getting bounced around a bit at the end of last year and the Sioux will need his services more than ever this year!!
