Totally agree...it seems like it was either or with those two. Find a D1 conference, blah, blah, blah or fight for nickname/logo. Have never seen or heard from either that trying to accomplish both was ever an option. That to me if the real issue I have with the way this whole thing was handled. Show some fight and still lose nickname, so be it. Give up on that issue to make the D1 transition easier is just a bailout and lack of leadership IMO.

Seriously??? The nickname to supporters, alum and students is bigger than just the hockey team. The fact that the hockey team is the financial engine the runs the athletic dept. is another issue and debate. Kelly and Fasion have never shown support publically for keeping the nickname/logo. Right or wrong that leaves a very bitter taste in a majority of supporters/alum and specifically this alum. I'm glad that UND is in the Big Sky, but the reality is any other athletic team, especially men's FB or BB is a looooooong way from being relevent on the D1 scene. Hockey is the university flagship athletic team like it or not but to throw that progam under the bus and use it as leverage to your liking in this nickname agrument is _______! Someone else can fill in the blank.

Sold my tickets for Feb. 26, but still looking to buy 4 lower bowl tickets for Sat. Feb. 12.

Since when did the hollowed grounds of UND become North Korea??? "if allowed"...really?!?!?
-
Agree...that was one of the 1st things that came to my mind as well.

I believe the true answer is somewhere in the middle of Douple's claim and Kelly's denial. Let's face it, Kelly was never in favor of keeping the Sioux nickname or logo. For those of you who disagree with that, give me one quote on the record that proves otherwise. Douple got burned by UND so his claim is suspect, but I personally do think something was said off the record to support some of his story. Kolpack...he's just a 'SU tool. As ScottM said, it is what it is at this point but at least UND rubes aren't tossing back Grain Belts like some SU posters on this site!

That's mentally challenged for you PC zealots keeping score at home...

Agree with all of the above post. This thread is a joke as well. I've been critical of some of Hak's coaching moves, game decisions, ect... But he has this program relevent year in and year out. He, and his staff, are great recruiters...talent is top notch consistantly. I do agree with there being a difference as being a great "game" coach. Hak believes in his system and it produces results, but his system doesn't seem to fit as well outside of WCHA play. There is a reason Big Ten men's BB teams don't typically do well in the "big dance" because they are built for the grind of Big Ten regular season. To an extent, Hak's teams are built the same...to win the WCHA. All I know is my daughter and I traveled to Denver to the Frozen 4 a couple years back with arguably one of UND's most talented teams ever, only to have her look at me 10 minutes into the semi game vs. BC and ask..."What's going on?" Hak finding an answer to that question maybe gets UND a NC soon.

Only thing I'd switch would be Marto with Lapoint...otherwise I still see sweep with what you got. Some Cichy's stick handling on Sat. was sick. He just seems to have an ability to create in the offensive end.
-
Under that scenerio, I'll give BE as much chance of playing as do the Bears in the Super Bowl!
-
Big ice means Marto needs to be on D. Rotate the two frosh. Davidson has to play after what he has shown...same for Cichy. Like Cichy with Knight & JG too. Hexy isn't the answer there.
-
Will be in St. Louis this weekend...was hoping to see Oshie and the Blues but they are on the road as well. Will find some place to watch Friday's UND/CC game there. Early prediction for Friday...6-0 UND with Hexy and Genoway getting hat tricks!
-
Interesting...IMO as we get closer to the SB I see the line getting closer to a pick em game, maybe the Pack -1. But at 46 total in an indoor fast track...play the over!
-
Packers vs. Steelers...neither team was great yesterday, but I expect a great Super Bowl game. If it's anything like last season's regular season game that was an arial shootout in which Big Ben threw a TD on the last play of the game to win it, it'll be fun to watch...just need a different outcome! You can talk about ARog and/or Big Ben, but the game will come down to which O-line can protect their QB and establish alittle bit of a running game. It's a fast track in Dallas, just like it was in ATL for GB so IMO that's improves their odds somewhat. I just need Dave Berger to pick the Steelers... GO PACK GO!

That's 8 pm MT time...is that right? If so, why the late start?

Time to just watch football and DRINK!

They still make that crap? You should be able to get Moose Drool your way. 30 minutes until Pack goes to the SB! -
Need 4 lower bowl tickets for Sat. Feb. 12. Will buy or swap out my 4 tickets in Sec. 110 for the Sat. Feb. 26 game vs. BSU.

If the game is 17-14....Bears win. If game is 28-17...Packers win My gut says Culter is due to implode. Better today than in the SB! GO PACK GO! Pack 27-17 is my call. -
No...takes lots of luck and bounces along the way to win a NC.
-
Appreciate the ray of sunshine in my day today!

The ONLY thing I want to hear on Sunday is the call of Packer's radio play-by-play guy, Wayne Larrivee, saying "...and there is your NFC Championship dagger!!!" GO PACK GO!!!
