I know the story, but I want Diggler to get the jersey.

Andy Schneider.

But isn't it also unrealistic to assume that changing the name won't affect fundraising for the move to DI?

Keep in mind that all these rankings are based on a formula that someone put together. It has nothing to do with USCHO.

Pay attention, junior!

Why is it that so many people forget about the cost of changing the name and logo, a cost that will surely be covered by taxpayers?

If Lee wasn't putting up many points, some would complain about that because he was billed as an offensive-defenseman. Therefore, I think it's fair to compare his points to those of other Sioux offensive-defenseman of the recent past. Undeniably, he's doing very well in that comparison. If you want to compare his development as a defensive player, then consider that players such as Commodore, Greene, Jones and Smaby really began to shine defensively as juniors. It's not unrealistic to expect that Lee will show similar improvement. Nor is it unrealistic to expect that his offensive production will continue to trend upward as well.

This thread? It's up to No. 5 now. The person doing the rankings is posting this a little at a time to draw out the suspense.

Me too. Bob Duncan looked so overcome that he didn't know what to do or how to react. That was a priceless moment. Kudos to Bob and Debbie for raising such a fine son.

Yeah! How insensitive can you get? Dagies should get a two-week suspension for his comments.

Who is "we"? I wasn't aware that "your" money was being spent. Yeah. To hell with free speech and free expression. They're such outdated ideas. Allowing protected classes to censor words and images they don't like but use themselves is so much more enlightened. It's best to simply allow the NCAA to label UND a racist institution without a shred of evidence and move on. Plus, being under the thumb of a "member-driven" organization that rules by executive fiat is really cool. Anyone who's not for that must be an idiot.

I know a link to this story in today's Herald was posted in another thread, but I think the news is important enough that it deserves its own thread. [url="http://www.grandforksherald.com/articles/index.cfm?id=34057

Don't go giving him a big head. He's hard enough to take as it is.

I know what Crisp Orter, Earake Fabio and Taylor Hickey will be watching.

I try to tell people that, but will they listen? NOOOOOOO!!!

I continue to believe that Hakstol's most impressive coaching came during his rookie season when he went through this and still got the Sioux into the national championship game.

Sappy, I think you're spreading another false rumor. Triouxp would never accept funding from anything connected to the U of M.

The Triouxper has not been around lately because his team is in the NHL playoffs and he's obviously too busy managing it. Plus, with spring in the air, everyone wants their auto parts yesterday. Honestly, some of you people need to get lives and stop spreading rumors and speculating on things you know nothing about.

As some here predicted, Jeff Jackson of Notre Dame is the winner of this year's Spencer Penrose Award. USCHO article.

Is that why there's a "2" next to your number of posts? A trolling Bison fan displays his counting ability on a Sioux sports site. Now that's priceless.

There are always exceptions. And I don't recall Schneider being touted as an "offensive defenseman."

I somehow missed this column by Dennis Dodd, CBS SportsLine.com Senior Writer, published prior to the Frozen Four. Kudos to T.J. Oshie and his father Tim for representing UND so well. Frozen Four: Fighting Sioux must beat NCAA, too

But Bison Dan has a point. Mankato and St. Cloud do compete in DI hockey. They never win anything of any significance, but they do compete. I could see NDSU doing that.

Hard to believe.
