When head WCHA official Greg Shepherd was in the press box for the Manitoba exhibition, he said he told George Gwozdecky that number 19 was back in the lineup for North Dakota. Gwoz's first reaction was to question how UND had managed to come up with an extra year of eligibility for Prpich. Just another way that Shepherd messes with coaches' minds.

It was banned at New Hampshire because some visiting coach considered it racist. Never mind that the song was written by a famous black musician.

Just as it's in your job description to find some piddly little thing to complain about.

Toews, Oshie, Duncan = The Toews O.D. Line I can't help it. Everyone's talking about Terrell Owens' return to Philadelphia today.

The Keeway Gaboo Line.

I'm with you. How come we didn't see the cowbell guy this weekend?

I was sure you would have picked The Oshie Line. Or how about: The Line of Oshie?

One member of this board suggested the Earth, Wind and Fire Line. Toews = Salt of the earth Duncan = Flies like the wind Oshie = Plays like someone lit a fire under him Did I get it right, Sicatoka?

I believe that you are correct.

Why would UND have to steal something it already owns? Thanks for the brilliant observation, Matlock. In other words, providing educational opportunities to American Indians is bad, but bribing the Sioux tribes to use the nickname is okay with you. Quite obviously, there are "lumber heads" on both sides of the issue.

I see that. I changed the link to go to the UND Schedule/Results page. Most people can probably figure it out from there.

The recap of Saturday's game has been posted at USCHO. Edit: Click on the "Recap" link on the UND "Schedules/Results" page.

Their are many different beliefs and value systems that when taken to the extreme can lead to trouble. You don't have to be a religious zealot to be a dangerous fanatic.

Vaht?

I agree completely.

I don't. But oh well.

Isn't Oshie on the first line? Or do power play goals by the first line not count? Darcy Zajac's former coach says he's the next Prpich. Prpich thinks Kaip could be the next him. It's good to have competition.

I've wondered about that, too. But if it were that easy, why didn't the NCAA simply do that to begin with and avoid all this mess? Are NCAA members that eager to start goring each others' oxen? And what about the NCAA principle quoted in my signature? Wouldn't that have to changed before the NCAA decided that it was in the business of enforcing discrimination sanctions?

I'm heading to the game, too. It'll be the first time I've been able to see the team live. I'm hoping to see Ryan Chappell and Weston Dressler run wild. The team needs a good game to get its swagger back. We're due.

Thanks for the kinds words. I didn't realize that USCHO had added the interview with Kupchella to the main story. Some might want to check it out. He has some interesting comments about UND's ongoing efforts to work with the tribes.

How did Dr. K put it? Self-righteous and arrogant? We are the NCAA. We can tromp on any member we want to.

Congratulatons on the new little one, SiouxMD.

My in-depth story on the North Dakota lawsuit is now online at USCHO.

So far, nobody has looked faster than THETRIOUXPER heading for the beer stand at the buzzer.
