Big A HG

Some new info I heard....from a very reliable source. According to this person, it's rumored to be that UND will have RBK/CCM uni's for the upcoming year and not Gemini. The person made it seem like it was already a done deal, so don't shoot the messenger if it turns out to be false. Also, he said that they'd likely have the RBK Edge jerseys as well.

Fixed it for you

Yep, I remember reading the same thing, it was down in the site suggestions section of the forum or whatever it's called.

See hockey leagues in Europe. Very little fighting, lots of cheap crap...

It's obvious that everyone and the grandma would rather have UNO over UAF....however.... Hasn't the WCHA (well, McLeod anyways) said they'd like to become a "super conference" at some point? Adding UAF would be an option, as well as possibly UAH or another school (Moorhead? Iowa State? Nebraska-Lincoln?) along with BSU and UNO (BSU and UNO being assumptions). Having 14 teams with two 7 team divisions is possible. UAF and UAA would be in separate divisions to better suit the lower 48 teams in the WCHA, but they'd still get to play two series' a year or something. I'm not pushing for that idea or anything, or even think it's going to happen, but it's something to ponder if the "super conference" idea was a true statement.

I'll bet that there was a little side deal going on between Blais and the AD saying that Dean will coach for them if they make the move to the WCHA.

I (DaveK) fell into a burning ring of fire....I went down down down, and the flames went higher....and it burns burns burns, the ring of fire, the ring of fire.

I don't see a red X...?

I still have the utmost confidence in Forney. He never had a chance with his injuries here at UND the first go-around. Now that he had a full season under his belt and had a chance to get a feel for the game back, I think he can still become the player everyone predicted he could be before he came to Grand Forks.

Just an honest question...I have no opinion on it... Is it fair to the future players who will be playing under the new nickname when everyone is still yelling "Go Sioux!" and wearing Sioux stuff?

Well, if you believe Christopher Columbus proved the earth was flat, you have a mistaken viewpoint of that age. Either way, it wasn't even Columbus (well, his name wasn't even Columbus, but rather Col

The problem is, nothing will sound as "right" as Sioux. We'll see.... I still stand my ground.

Right, that is one thing you have to consider is the actual nickname chosen. As bad as the university has handled the whole nickname issue, you have to trust that they'll put something out there that is a worthy replacement.

Those people are few and far between though. Like I said, there are people that will never change, but over the course of time, people will change....and that time span is shorter than many think.

No one will forget the Sioux nickname, but people will accept the new nickname much sooner than many people anticipate. There will be some that that totally ignore the new nickname, especially at first, but after a few years, it will be a non-subject.

I'm sure all rights went directly to UND once his design was approved and he gave the go-ahead.

Touche...

Bring on the new stuff. Living in the past gets old sooner than one would think.....with the exception of music.

I think LeBron gets more talk and hype than even Kobe. Kobe is for sure second, but I see and hear more about LeBron than anyone else from the NBA.

Smaby WAS the captain, but I couldn't tell you the A's....I can barely remember what I ate for lunch today.

I think most Blu-Ray players play standard DVD's. I never was on the market for one since my PS3 has one built in, but it also plays CD's, DVD's, and other data discs for photos or whatnot, which I believe is the norm. Your DVD collection would not be lost. I actually find Blu-Rays to be even better quality than HD cable, not to mention the audio aspects of both Blu-Ray and HD cable/satellite blow the snot out of regular DVD's or TV which have compressed audio and limited surround.

It doesn't mean you have to comment on it...

Yep, you're right

I'm gonna skip the junior class and say that Gregoire gets the last one.

Yeah...no big deal...you can use it if you want, just send me a PM next time. On a side note, the Siouxper Swings are a lot of fun and the money spent is well worth it. The coaches are very open and fun to golf with. Hak doesn't even charge extra for smiles, haha.
