Old Time Hockey

Wrong! They committed to Minnesota because UNDs coach during the time they were recruited was auwful. Once she was gone, the twins decided it was time to come home. Its obvious you and 83 have a huge inferiority complex with the hockey programs. My comment about dropping basketball was purely tongue-in-cheek bait that you took big time. A serious question I do have however is......... Do the basketball programs run in the black or red at UND?

How about we drop women's hockey once we drop men's basketball. Women's hockey is more competitive. When was the last time the basketball team made the NCAA tourney (D2 or D1)?

Generic nickname + generic logo = _________________?

Maybe the best solution is to keep it simple, don't try to have too much detail on the logo, try to go to aggressive or too cartoony silly. What made the Fighting Sioux logo work was that the Sioux warrior had a facial expression that was stern and determined but not over the top aggressive and certainly not cartoon. Hopefully that aspect will not be lost on the firms working on designing the new Logo. I just threw up in my mouth a little bit! I am starting to come to peace with the whole move on thing, but if a logo like one of these is selected it will throw my mental state back into state of flux. If we spend a pile of $'s on design and end up with a logo like this I will be pissed!

I like that. No Sanderson, no Olson. I hate the lazy hooking, tripping, interference penalties LJ takes when he doesn't move his feet and gets beat on a play. It's at a minimum once a series! So with that said, I would interchange Olson and Sanderson with LJ when needed. The one thing about LJ, just when you don't expect it, he will score a big goal. Goalies have trouble handling his heavy shot which lead to bad angle goals and rebound opportunities.

And you blog only on hockey. You must be one of the damn hockey only fans that won't conform to the new nickname. Therefore, you are not a UND true fan. If you want to be a true fan follow these simple steps. 1. Blast the "hockey only" fans as much as possible. 2. Do not question the process, nor the administration that got us to this point with the current nickname. 3. Go out as soon as possible and purchase the first F'Hawks gear you see and wear it to the next UND sporting event. 4. Cheer "Go Fighting Hawks" as much as possible at the next sporting event. A "Go Hawks" sign would be a nice touch! 5. Finally, carry yourself with a "I know better than you" attitude when confronted by anyone wearing that old, offensive Fighting Sioux gear. If you follow these five simple steps, then and only then will you be considered a true UND fan.

Fire Hak!

RIP Glen! He sure was a homer, but was fun to listen to. Sad to see these guys go!

Big fan of Hammer as the TV play by play guy. Sweeney is better at football than hockey. Hope Dan will be replaced by someone with a little more excitement than Pat. Wonder why Hammer couldn't do both his KFGO gig and hockey?

Why do threads always get hijacked into a "football vs hockey" debacle? Sorry to break the news but, hockey is the most popular sport on campus and therefore gets more exposure to promote things like this. Doesn't hurt that at the hockey games "Sioux Forever" chants are louder than ever, not to mention the new nickname getting booed rigorously. Give it a break with the inferiority complex!

This thread needs to be locked, deleted, and not to be talked about again. If someone violates this, they should be dealt with similarly as has been done to gfhockey after a drunken tirad.

This might be the dumbest thread I have ever read. Is football more popular in the US? Yes Is Hockey more popular worldwide?Probably Is soccer more popular worldwide than hockey? Of course Like I said, this thread is stupid!

I'm sure that if there were recruits in this weekend they thought the atmosphere in the Ralph was nothing short of awesome. I don't think you could be any further off on your assessment!

Booooooooo! Sioux Forever, Sioux Forever, Hawks Whatever.......

Fighting Hawks at Full Strength...Booooooo Sioux Forever, Sioux Forever, ...........

My guess is that every time the fans booed the FH name the team laughed their a$$e$ off. I guarantee they didn't feel as though the booes were directed at them!

Fun game tonight. The boys really dominated for the majority of the game and the score could have been even more lopsided then the scoreboard read. The booing after every time "Fighting Hawks" was used was classic. My guess this will last from the Student section for some time. It is ironic based on the notion that the students were mostly responsible for voting for the name, but I think they just picked the best of a piss poor final list of names. If Roughriders would have won, they would have booed just the same, maybe more. Also another bit of irony was the first time "Fighting Hawks at full strength" was announced, the puck found the back of the net. It was only the second time of the evening it was stated as Darren Looker slipped it in there casually at the beginning of the game. The irony was that he said "Fighting Hawks at full strength" and they immediately scored. It seemed like it caught the players off guard in a moment that was like, "what the hell did he just say? Crap they just scored." I think it caught the crowd a little off guard as well because after that moment, every time FH was used, the booing got a little louder. I will be interested on how the powers to be will react to this warm welcome the new nickname received tonight. My guess if this type of reaction continues, they will double down and instruct Mr. Looker to use FH for everything.

We got F'hawked! That's what happens when you crap the bed 2 weeks in a row mid season. Depth killed this team for a postseason run. Bubba will get us their next year. At least they ended the season on a high note!

F'hawked!

If they don't get in this will be the main reason. No blame needs to be placed anywhere else.

Can I come join you in Colorado for some of those "magic" brownies?

From Twitter: 52m Tom Miller @tommillergf UND wins 45-21 over Cal Poly. Watch ESPNU at 10 a.m. to see if Fawks make the FCS playoff field. What the Fawk is a Fawk Tom?

Glad it worked for him, since it wasn't really the case for Bartels.

If the NCAA doesn't let us in, I got only one thing to say.....F'hawk them!
