    Saturday Goalie ?

    tnt replied to Fetch's topic in Men's Hockey

    Hoping with a week knowing he will be the guy he can take the next step. Cam had bigger issues his first few games, but frankly, neither inspires confidence right now, but I suppose that is to be expected after McIntyre. Was hoping Tomek would be ready, but Tim Hennessey said he has heard anywhere from the Wisconsin series until after Christmas. Puskarich and Shaw could make it tough on any goalie without experience on the road.

    Yes, and getting rid of the Sioux nickname as well. So you're a big fan of political correctness huh?

    Not me. Every shot they took made me nervous. Unless they play like they did 1st period against Bemidji last Friday, or he is over the jitters, I would be happy with a split this weekend.

    I say we let him pick the nickname as well!

    That is true, you can't lump everyone together with that statement. That said, there are those that were saying "seriously" to the thought of Nodaks to all in now. How did it all of a sudden become the "it" thing?

    I'm not buying that he was just doing what was best for the University. North Dakotans can just as easily protest NoDaks as a slur. Don't you think that they would begin by protesting the RoughRider award, or a National Park honoring him? The fact you have heard none of this and the fact that he was promoting his own choice, shows he was acting on his own, not for the benefit of the University. Nevermind the fact that Roughriders is open ended, you can tie it to TR or not.

    But you are basically asking him to define what a Nodak would be in that case. He knew what a portrait of a Sioux would be, but to throw him to the wolves with no sense of direction seems like it is putting it all on him.

    We'll see how it goes, but it is kind of funny how that blind devotion can sway people. I think that is how the NDSU football team can dismiss a lot of the things that went on. When I hear so much about "culture" by the top programs, and then I see some of the discipline or lack thereof that goes with actions, it leads me to believe that fan bases will be willing to excuse a lot of behavior in the namesake of winning. Guess we can look back on some of these threads and see people's top 5 choices and then how they evolved when the powers that be have spoken.

    Glad you have a mind of your own.

    I think when nobody has any concept at what is could be, it opens itself up to this interpretation. The other options you have some idea about a logo at least.
  11. tnt
    You mean, kind of like Schlossman's disingenuous information about Teddy Rooosevelt. Remember when reporter's were supposed to report the news?
  12. tnt
    I think if Nodaks comes down to the final two, they should have a logo drawn up, because if people are thinking it is going to just basically be North Dakota, and you end up having a figure like in Sicatoka's post, that is quite the eye opener. To me if they choose Nodak's, and don't have a logo, your marketing is going to be terrible. I do have to laugh at the students chanting "Sioux Forever", when some have never been on campus when it was the nickname.

    The process is coming to an end, but the Grand Forks Herald will keep this alive for the next 20 years.
  14. tnt
    Then where is his outrage, and yours for that matter in North Dakota giving out the Roughrider Award as the highest honor in the state? ... that's what I thought.
  15. tnt
    Tell that to the Sioux people.
  16. tnt
    Yet somehow none of us knew! Funny how that works when you are trying to create a national brand, and not worried about local confusion.
  17. tnt
    I understand in women's hockey you are recruiting more to the school than the facilities because education is a foremost consideration, but shouldn't both of those factors put us ahead of Bemidji? Regardless, it is hard to watch that kind of hockey. You would think there would be more offense without checking. Don't seem to have capitalized on the Lamoureux era.
  18. tnt
    Half full at Mariucci against Duluth, compared with packed house against Bemidji at the Ralph. State of hockey, huh?
  19. tnt
    To use the name Nodaks with the Sioux logo.
  20. tnt
    Really? You honestly think there is any chance at all for that to happen?
  21. tnt
    ... says the guy who is so focused on UND being behind on payments to contractors.
  22. tnt
    And I didn't mean to imply that you, or Brad Berry were saying or thinking we were better than other schools. Just meant it as a precaution not to follow the Saintly Gopher crowd.

    Wondering where that guy that left Maine is playing now. Haven't seen his name back in the USHL since the start of the year, or is he injured now?
  24. tnt
    Depends on the character issue I suppose. It is one thing to have standards, but sometimes second chances are in order. See Matt Frattin, Brandon Bochenski, etc. Don't think we should act like we are better than other schools in that regard, as it is all subjective on who deserves a second chance. I would hope that there are some character issues that are so beyond acceptable that no team would put their neck out for, but who knows.
  25. tnt
    Great, glad we can agree on that!
