I think a Pens-Hawks final would be a great showcase of the young talent in the NHL.

This game in Boston is a slobberknocker. Good game.

MPR is very ill informed in this article, they should be embarrased.

I agree with you on timing and there are many that felt the same way. Kupchella had a bad experience with D-I at a prior job and it clouded his thinking, IMO.

You were a supporter of staying Division II I take it.

I know you love this University as much as anyone here. But after reading that, all I can say is that I'm glad you're not amongst those calling the shots on this one. Who are the opponents filling the Betty now? What exactly is the carrot we are holding out for? Get the referendum at Standing Rock, win it, retire the name with grace, and move forward.

Maybe my sarcasm meter's broken? Tomorrow's outcome will be interesting.

The fight was lost the day that the settlement agreement with the NCAA was signed by the AG. Something very valuable was given away that day, and I'm not a bit happy about it. Some acknowledged it, others chose not to do so. What other conference opportunities are out there in the pipeline that we're not seeing? I'm not privy to such information, maybe there's an important puzzle piece you are aware of? I can't for the life of me understand the Summit bashing. If it is true that Standing Rock is close to a referendum, I would love to see that process play out. However, this is tribal politics and the votes are non-binding and obligate the tribal councils in absolutely no way, shape, or form. There is nickname fatigue amongst the faithful, and it's time to move on. It's about providing the best opportunities possible for our present and future student athletes in all of our programs. Sadly, it looks as though retiring the Fighting Sioux name will be what it requires to move the ball forward. The writing was on the wall 18 months ago.

I guess it's their goal song? Osgood will know it WELL very soon!!!

Kane with the hatty...7-5 Hawks....United Center going bonkers.

Beautiful feed from Toews to Patrick Sharp....6-5 Hawks. What a GAME!

The Pens-Caps game earlier was GREAT!

The change came out of his own pocket! 3-2 Hawks. Crap....3's.

Johnny Toews back on the scoreboard!!!! 3-1 Hawks.

It's shaping up to be a busy little October with Homecoming, Potato Bowl, and Sioux-Gopher Hockey/Sioux Football tripleheader in three consecutive weekends.

Nielsen Ratings? Fox News > CNN + MSNBC

Sprint Center in Kansas City needs a primary tennant and will eventually get a team IMHO.

WE'D HAVE 12 TITLES AND HE'D BE THE WOODEN OF COLLEGE PUCK WOO HOO!!!!!! Or not.

They played for your favorite college hockey team?

In all fairness, he said he'd wait, save his money, and choose the authentic. Doesn't sound like it has anything to do with high rollers or income levels to me, just personal preference. As for me, the replicas are just fine.

Trev Alberts has been hired as the new AD, so should be interesting to see what happens.

I'm in the market for a Sioux jester hat if anyone sees one.
