    My feelings also. Know who you are and who you represent.

    I think (guess) if you could really get into Bubba's mind you would find out that he isn't fired up about the name change either. He does understand what it means to be part of a larger organization (team) and how to support that team in public.

    The point is - realize that you are part of a larger organization and understand that whether you are an employee or another part of the organization. As a student-athlete you are part of a larger org and should be expected to keep your feelings out of the public eye if you don't support the larger org. That is called being an adult and a good teammate or member of the larger team. You learn that pretty quickly in business or you don't do well in any org. You can debate like hell behind the scenes but stick together for those outside the group. When i was playing football at UND I was interviewed by the Star Tribune for an article and the sportswriter wanted me to state how well my first school approached football compared to UND. I was extremely careful to not say anything that could be construed as negative about UND. He ended up cutting my quotes from the article because they didn't support his premise.

    Bubba is doing what he thinks is right in trying to move the university and fans forward. We had the interlocking ND on our helmets for a long time.

    I almost wish I had more eligibility left and could play for Bubba. Might be tough at 54 years old but he is a great leader.

    this is painful to watch the pre-game before the unveiling

    This is from the press release: Hockey and football broadcasts can be heard on KFGO AM 790 while men’s and women’s basketball broadcasts, and the weekly Coaches Shows will air on AM 740 The Fan (KVOX AM). The daily program, UND Sports Today, will air on both stations.

    My wife and I are taking that exact route from Twin Cities. Spending the Wed-Sunday in NYC and taking Long Island Rail Road to Stony Brook. It looks like about 1:45-2:00 hours on the train from Penn Station to Stony Brook. I think there is shuttle bus or something to campus. Decided to stay in Stony Brook Thursday night since train after the game leaves around 11:30 pm and gets back to Penn Station around 1:45 am. Not brave enough to wander around NYC at 2:00 am walking back to hotel. The next train after 11:30 isn't until 4:30 am or so. I emailed the Champions club to see what events were planned before the game. They forwarded my message on to the football coaches to see where the team was staying. Bubba himself emailed me back with the info and thanked me for coming to the game. Class act. We are really looking forward to the game.

    Booked airline tix last night to NY for the Stony Brook game. Excited for the year to start.

    I saw Gordon play a couple of times in HS and really liked the way he plays. He should be very successful at UND.

    Has anybody seen season ticket renewals yet?

    For a little guilty pleasure I read the in-game discussion from the Championship game on GPL last night. It was fun to see them go from pulling for Qinnipeac to being resigned to the fact that we would win and just hating on UND.
  16. Siouxperman8
    I am really surprised that UND hockey makes it into the top 200-300 things that Dubay has to worry about. His plate is pretty full.
  17. Siouxperman8
    as rough as that was it looked like DU taps the puck in the net on the weak side if he lets it get through.
  18. Siouxperman8
    I haven't been on much tonight so maybe it has been talked about but did Thompson and Shaw see the ice in the last 10-12 minutes?

    The problem for MN in the BTHC is that the schools are so far from Minneapolis that that you get very few visiting fans at the games. Wisconsin is the only school within driving distance. With few visiting fans it is harder to build hockey rivalries and fill up the arena. Mariucci used to see a lot of UND, SCSU and UMD fans for those series. They don't get that now and Notre Dame won't help with that.
  20. Siouxperman8
    The first statement from the Gopher fan was - "You have to remember that no one in MN would want to listen to that." The response was that there are a lot of hockey fans in general and Sioux fans in particular in MN that would have interest in that. I don't expect every show to talk about UND but to say that nobody would be interested isn't true and that is what we were reacting to.
  21. Siouxperman8
    and Gopher apologists please tell us again how they weren't competitive because they had 10 freshmen on their roster - but conveniently forget that UND has 11 freshmen on our roster. You just have the wrong freshman.
  22. Siouxperman8
    I was replying to your statement "You have to remember that no one in MN would want to listen to that." I was pointing out that statement is not true. There are plenty of people in MN who are college hockey fans and also UND fans and would want to listen to that. That and the fact that UND has 8 Minnesota players on their roster. and it is your choice to come onto a UND fan site - but don't expect much other than pro-UND talk. Things must be pretty quiet on GPL which is not surprising considering the state of your program.
  23. Siouxperman8
    You are wrong. There are a ton of UND grads and UND hockey supporters in the TC including me. Not all of those fans that show up for games in the TC come from GF. I listened for a while today but turned it off. They avoid most things that are positive about UND. Check the Trib when NHL'ers are mentioned. If it is a former gopher they print that. If it is a former UND player they write about their HS affiliation or say nothing

    Bad penalty by Thompson

    In my opinion the U of M doesn't really have a campus atmosphere like most other colleges and I think that hurts them with some recruits. It is almost like a collection of buildings in an office park. It isn't completely dependent on size. Other big schools like Wisconsin, Notre Dame and Michigan State have campuses with more of a 'college' feel to them.
