Underachievers in 2007-2008 after being the preseason #1 pick.

Nakota?

WCHA-FAN: I think your analysis is spot-on.

Unfortunately, your assessment may very well be correct.

Gopher Obsession

People who don't know the alphabet usually have less than a First grade education.

It has been a long time since our last national championship.......

Obsession with the Gophers

New Nickname

Holy Cross.............North Dakota's favorite team.

Sagard apparently has read this forum for a long time because he is correct.

I just wish we hadn't 'Beaversoned' Forney.

As painful as it is to admit, you are spot on (especially with point #1).

I wonder if that's the same writer who said Kyle Okposo was going to sign with the Islanders before the start of the season last year?

Those open 24 hour McDonald's jobs must bite.

The problem is, you don't see Gopher fans going out and buying BC jerseys. The same can't be said about our fanbase going out and buying Holy Cross jerseys. It's sad, really, that we have fans that take more pride in another team's loss than the successes that the Sioux have had on the ice. Then again, it has been awhile since we've won the national championship. Not good considering the WCHA dominance for the majority of the last 6-7 years.

I think I'll pass. I really don't have an interest in their program. It appears you must be one of those obsessives as it looks like you have their website bookmarked.

I'm constantly amazed at the obsession of some of our fans with the Minnesota hockey program.........and for something that happened a couple of years ago. It speaks volumes.

.......the old one needs to put some socks on.

Noise makers would be a good idea because since we've made the move from the old arena, the atmosphere had definitely suffered. It appears our fans just aren't as enthusiastic as they used to be.

Quite frankly, I don't think we should be all that surprised. How can you ask your players to exhibit class and acceptable behavior when your own coach can't. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I long for the days of Dean Blais.

I was wondering the same thing. They didn't show the replay on the scoreboard and it sure seemed to take a long time to come up with a decision.
