Exactly. It is hard to judge who needs this series more. If we would lose three to Big Ten teams it could really damage our pairwise. Minnesota sure could use wins against the NCHC as well. Bottom line for UND is to learn from their losses to Penn State and Duluth, and stay out of the box. I believe Minnesota mustered the split with Penn State by converting on a 5 on 3. UND has to treat this series as critical to their NCAA tourney hopes. I don't want to be talking after Friday night that UND needs to learn another lesson as to staying out of the box.

Maybe she's talking about the Duluth fans and the smallpox blanket remarks.

Give us a split there this year and I’ll take it in a heartbeat.

...and to think someone on GPL said they couldn’t believe all the empty seats in Nashville. So we had probably 4 times or more fans at a venue 1200 miles away than they have in their back yard! Reminds me of their fans complaining that they last played us at home on Thanksgiving when students were gone, allowing us to take up a good share of the arena. Not worried about that happening here this weekend.

...and I think we can all agree that you have done the best with what you were given to work with. I believe there was one moment you came close to stringing together a complete sentence, albeit with numerous spelling errors.

Ben Clymer is officially the biggest homer announcer ever. Normal jousting among players deserves a penalty if it happens to a gopher player, but is being tough if the gophers do it.

So you know exactly what Bubba would have done. Great. Facts show you as a blowhard.

We’ll never know but your assertions aren’t holding any water.

https://fightinghawks.com/sports/football/stats Brady Stevens 4 for 4 39 yards in.

You tell me the stats then big mouth.

It doesn’t change the fact that you can’t take that sack. Guess I would rather have a 50% chance at a field goal then no chance at all.

Not saying be ultra conservative, but know that you can’t eliminate that as a last chance thing. Also, do you not think that the interception was a direct result of being behind the chains as a result of the sack.

How are you taking that sack when you are already in field goal range. Doesn’t get sacked or throw interceptions except in the worst possible times.

That’s all we really want, is to stay in games.

Those extra few yards on where they spotted the ball after Turner’s sack sure made a difference. Should have been closer to the 25, but that play is all on the defense.

Saturday tickets still available.

With that thinking we would never have had 5 overtime’s in Fargo last year. Every hockey coach would take issue with that statement unless you are going back to the two game total goal series of years gone by.

...and Peregrines would have met the unique criteria, as well as reference to the area as well.

You wonder if UND just instituted a name like Force of the North or Green and White kind of like Central did with Maroon, if the appetite would have come about to have another nickname naturally at some point. Of course the argument would be it would then be Sioux by default anyway. One thing is certain, if the committee did their job and stuck to their own criteria, Hawks wouldn’t have been in the mix, and Nodak would have been a viable option. I wouldn’t be opposed to Nodak taking root and reference would be to that much like you hear Zags for Gonzaga rather than referencing their actual Bulldogs nickname.

No surprise Will Smith stays out East with Boston College.

I would think that as long as people are still supporting the University, who cares who puts what front and center. To me this is the best of both worlds. The other programs can use the logo as they see fit, and the hockey program can still keep people buying merchandise, yet use the name and logo as they see fit, much as the other programs did in the past.

As does the tired refrain of complaining about the hockey team not using the new logo.

Maybe you should boycott the hockey team. Didn't hear you when the other sports didn't have the Sioux logo front and center.

Not a fan of the one from the 90's. Don't know if I have ever seen anyone wearing a jersey like that. Generic then, and generic now.

Schlossman said that Dell and JBD became the 17th and 18th to play in the NHL, and that Smith may soon be 19th. Is the criteria different for this list? Your list looks accurate to me.
