Well, he did commit to the gophers.

No, moped.

I like those mentioned in the posts right above. I still like Outlaws, because that's essentially what UND became. And I don't mind being the martyr.

Same! Also The Horse, The Theme from Rocky and Championship.

Same here. Do you think the coaches would have brought in 2 talented guys if they thought Dell was going to stick around for his Sr. year? IMO they knew they had a hole to fill.

Please take nickname discussions to the nickname forum.

Hey, I like that. "The Fighting U" And then on the jersey we can put the initials FU. Just kidding. Seriously, I like that name.

And add Brad Berry and there you go.

I kind of like that! A little outdated, but still kind of cool. Would have been great with teams from the early 80's (Guys like Archie, et al)

I think you're on to something!

I'm trying to figure out on which page in this thread the horse died..

I've been wondering the same thing, as we've had the same seats at the X since the tourney moved there originally. I guess we'll see. But on the other hand, think of it this way. A very large number of tournament ticket package buyers were UM fans. They will not be buying packages at the X. Even if we are given no preference, I'll bet that as first time ticket package buyers we'll have chance to get good seats, even if we don't have the chance to select a preference. I hope we do, though.

I heard this Rocco Grimaldi kid who's coming in as a freshman this year is pretty good.

Back to the University of North Dakota Iron Horses idea:

I think we allow a fair amount of leeway in conversations here, but like the sicatoka said a bit earlier, let's use a little decorum and stay away from this sort of aspersion, ok? The whole conversation and everyone reading it will be better off for it. Everyone gets frustrated with other posters who don't agree with them from time to time, let's just find a better way to express it. Thanks

To me it just shows that it was a close race, and there were enough positives (or should we say not enough negatives) about Portland to sway him towards D1. Most likely the MJ route was his preferred route to start with so this is just the justification to stick with that choice. No big deal, IMO. And good for him/them that this was handled professionally.

How else do you get through an NBA game?

I think if we go back in time we'll see that Blais backed Hak all the way. So, this "affair" is just common knowledge around college hockey? Sounds very rumor mill-ish to me.

None of us walk in these kid's shoes. None of know what their personal life is like, what their motivations and ambitions are. No way do we know enough about Nelson's decision to even hint at casting aspersions.

I don't see anything in here that indicates Jones has been anything but upfront with the UND staff. Until the last couple of days the consensus was that Jones had been above board and handled everything professionally and ethically. I see nothing that's changed that. We'll just have to see how things play out. But it's apparent Everett is out of the picture. Don't know if that's good or bad for UND. But as long as he's been up front with the coaches, and I assume that's the case until we hear otherwise, then good luck to him in whatever he chooses to do.

I think LaDue is coming, but remember injuries have a way of dealing out the playing time, even for those that maybe aren't projected to be a top 6 D. I mean, who would have thought Panzarella was going to play as much as he did this year? Good thing he seemed pretty much ready to contribute.

Read below I don't know for sure but I'm not sure that can be tossed out as a factor, as farce poobah just pointed out.

As someone else said, I'd be all for a rotation of Target Center and the X every other year. Again, I'm speaking from a purely personal perspective, as I live in the Cities and have grown quite fond of the Final Five being local.

Congratulations to a great coach. We are lucky to have him.

Those are actually damning in the US College vs. MJ debate.
