Don't you have your own site to spew on? The BSC added UND for the same reasons it turned away su - academics, stability, integrity, tradition, similar goals. Where I work it is considered a good thing to promote from within, don't think su can throw stones about coaches leaving, Can't fill out an 11 game football schedule, basketball conference is falling apart I think you have more important things to discuss and you can do at bisonswille and if you need to talk smack you even have a thread there just for you.

Butt I-94, Butt Travel Expenses, Butt "we are in the best conference", Butt "We Never Really Wanted to Be in the Big Sky', Butt "UND convinced Montana to drop us" Butt Dakota Big Three... they are getting what they deserve.

Dave Nonis, Senior Vice-President and General Manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, announced Wednesday that the hockey club has signed defenceman Andrew MacWilliam to a two-year entry level contract. MacWilliam, 23, was selected by the Maple Leafs in the seventh round, 188th overall, in the 2008 Entry Draft. In 2012-13, he served as Captain of the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA), playing 41 games and leading the WCHA in penalty minutes (116). Okay the more I see ongoing references to FIghting Sioux, the more i'm starting to think that it's time we push back on the NCAA. I know UND Administration can't support it and the people who attend games and sit on their hands think it's disloyal to UND to not move on, but really what if there was a grassroots effort that says, "We are the Fighting Sioux and we will remain the Fighting Sioux" deal with it. I think it goes beyond just having a closet full of Fighting Sioux shirts. It means not allowing the name or spirit of the name to disappear from sporting events. It means making sure incoming students understand the history and help preserve it. Big hurdle will be what happens when all the Fighting Sioux logo materials are sold out. Thoughts?

Unless you factor in off field issues - they have a long history of that as well that surpasses UND. Damn I just woke up the trolls - but I might earn some fantasy league points.

As has been stated this thread was started as sarcasim, unfortunately there isn't much else to talk about right now. How about them Huskies....

Before I waste time digging into this - It is April 1st.

This was obviously created by a rube who has no clue about the life-long connections players make during their time spent at UND.

I would guess the expectations at the colleges are similar to UNDs. Coach one is Jack Parker who just retired at BU and Coach two is Red Berenson at Michigan. So comparing their first eight year record to Haks some would have fired them both. Oh and Jack won 3 championships in his 40 years, Red won two championships in 28 years - also appears some would call their records a failure because of lack of championships every time they made the tourney.

Nope - real coaches and what they had accomplished after their first eight years.

So would you fire these coaches after eight years? Coach one: made NCAA five times in first 8 years, then did not make the playoffs for the next 4 years. Coach two: did not make the NCAAs in his first six years, then made it to quarterfinals and semifinals in his seventh and eighth year. Yes or No.

They seem to be doing trying to accomplish that on their own. (sarcasim and potential Fantasy League points).

Much easier to cheer for Denver than Minnesota. We need western college hockey to be well represented in the final four.

Over/Under on number of posts at GPL calling for Lucia's head at 3:30 today - no matter which way it ends up.

Ain't it great that when we talk about our conference it's not to talk about who's leaving or what conference we wish we were in. And that when we fill our schedule it's with schools that someone has actually heard of and we don't have to beg or grovel with them. Seven home games this year - sweet!

I had the jalapeno cheese summer sausage on a sandwich for lunch - just about ready to jump in my car and head up to Crosby for some more. The benefits of attending the Hoggsbreath just keep on comin!

So how do we get the cheer Hoka Hey into regular useage at games? Talk about having special special and unique for the teams (and a way to preserve the Sioux heritage).

Darn close to 50 people at this year's by my count. Multi-generational - nice to hear the history and see the young guys taking an interest. Thanks to everyone for letting me share siouxpride.com with you. This year me and some friends are going all in and planning to have a tailgating booth at all home football games this year - look for the Siouxpride.com van and stop in and chat. We'll have the Sioux Shot Board ready for you.

Glad we have you here to define it for us. Thought it was an Einstein from Fargo and FU graduate that started the legislation and kept it going long after UND had moved on?

Didn't see any from FU - but you might want to check the "barns that rock" listing.

Hey just saw your PMs to me - sorry I don't go there very much I left you a bunch of information. See you at Hoggsbreath.

I wil be there - hoping to bring a couple more with me from Al's bus. I will donate some give-aways and with permission have some "Once a Sioux, always a Sioux" shirts (shown in icon) to sell and Sioux Mask of Honor Hoodies available. (if someone can explain how to post images here I can drop in a picture.)

Watching online yes the penalty was pretty obvious, but the announcers where the ones saying throughout the OTs "You can't call a penalty in overtime." Tough to accept the tradition of changing the way the game is called in overtime. I suppose the longer the game and the more tired they get it's inevitable a penalty will eventually have to be called.

Sorry in this game I won't say the better team on the ice won - give UND just one Powerplay in the OTs and you have the biggest upset in women's college hockey. Can't accept that Minnesota got three powerplays and UND got none - Minnesota definitely had callable penalties that were not called because "You can't call that in overtime."

Interesting that in the second OT we were pulled down in front of their net and the announcer said "We're too deep into overtime for UND to get that call", guess things changed a little later when they got the call.

When are CIT invitations sent out. It would be great to be at full strength and get a CIT bid against another team within the region waiting for one - perhaps the CIT would create a bidding war to host the game?
