Having it happen 8 times is not rare, having it happen ONCE or Twice is rare... My point being (outside of playing Thursdays and Sundays) is, I don't want hockey to be taking a back seat to other sports and that is what is happening to the B10. I understand that hockey isn't a big revenue sport for the B10 but for us schools that are used to it being the sport on campus, to me it doesn't make sense to make that jump and be shuffled back down into obscurity.
I would be against playing in the B1G...but to play devil's advocate here, your list only includes 4 B1G conference games. The other 4 were OOC games, where scheduling is at the discretion of the teams involved. Here were the NCHC Conference and OOC non-F/Sa games this year:
(1) NCHC:
Thu.2/18/20167:00 MT(10) Denver4@Colorado College1
(6) OOC:
Tue.10/13/20157:00 ET(10) Bowling Green1@Western Michigan4
Sun.11/29/20153:00 ET(5) North Dakota4@Michigan State1
Sun.11/29/20156:00 CT(7) St. Cloud State7@Minnesota4
Sun.12/20/20152:00 CTArizona State0@(6) Nebraska-Omaha
Wed.12/30/20155:00 ETWestern Michigan1@(12) Bowling Green0
Sun.1/3/20165:00 ETRensselaer2@Miami4*BSU and UMD played on a Tuesday, but I didn't include that as it was a makeup game outside of normal scheduling.

I don't understand why...but the story on the Sioux merchandise found its way to the ESPN college sports homepage. All I can figure is they have some algorithm that determined I wanted to see it based on my IP.

Any word if these are in Fargo, or are they a GF only sort of thing?

You need to practice your PC skills. I think it's offensive that you segregate women based on their size as "normal" or not.
See how this game works? Nobody wins and nobody ends up happy. Nobody is truly going to get hurt from a silly chant. If your mental capacity can't handle hearing a chant as PG as "Husky women", there are much bigger issues at play.
Thank you for taking an otherwise fine discussion and making it personal.

For the record, I've never participated in the cheer. Mostly because I always thought it was a silly college kids cheer but I guess I never equated it with shaming women. This is the first I've heard someone mention that and I know other people thought it was directed at the men's hockey players.
It doesn't "cause trouble" like you're referring to for me, I just wonder if we're reading into a silly college chant a little too much.
Unfortunately, I've heard it in St. Cloud in years past while only the cheerleaders were on the ice, which is perhaps why I'm a little sensitive on it.
Yes, I would say it around my boss, wife, mother, daughter because it's a joke and none of them are offended by a joke. Because it is, well a joke. Get it?
It's a joke, yes. But it's a joke that makes a punchline out of women who are bigger than normal. I just don't think that's ok. And beyond that, it's a tired joke, time to give it a rest.

Peter Simon @Pistol66 11h11 hours ago
If rumor is true Kelly threatened to drop committee if they didn't drop it. Why have a Committee? @SchlossmanGF
Brad E. Schlossman@SchlossmanGF 11h11 hours ago
@Pistol66 Not true.
That whole exchange was spurred on by tweets from @UofHockeyBlog (the tweets are now deleted) saying that Kelley was at the meeting and threatened to disband the committee. Schlossman isn't the ultimate authority on Mr. Kelley or even all things UND. He was just commenting on this rumor that Kelley was at the meeting and threatened to drop the committee. Try again.
-
I'm not in the "no-nickname, stay Sioux, or die" club, but this quote from committee member John Bridewell says a lot to me about how much President Kelley has had his hands in matters behind the scenes, out of the public eye.
UND Professor John Bridewell, on the other hand, was one of seven committee members who ranked it as their least favorite option and said faculty didn't want to move forward with that.
"President Kelley, if we send him North Dakota, no nickname, I think he could just disband the committee or just say we could start over or he could just veto it," Bridewell said.
And to this post, all Schlossman confirmed was that Kelley wasn't at the meeting. Nobody has been able to (or will be able to) prove that Kelley hasn't been whispering in committee ears all along.
Unless you have new information, you're repeating something that has already been debunked multiple times. Schlossman, among others, have confirmed that this is false.

I can live with/support any nickname, except Sun Dogs. I would genuinely rather put on a Bison or Gopher hat before I touched anything Sun Dog.
-
They had a winning record.

I forgot another favorite - "Glow Stick Night" vs. Wisconsin
The Ralph decided it would be cool to give everyone a green glowstick to wave during player intros, and it looked pretty cool, especially when they started raining down on the ice.
I remember it was one from the upper deck, then a couple more, and then the floodgates opened up and what felt like thousands rained down. I'm pretty sure someone managed to throw one inside of a Wisconsin player's face mask. -
My favorite moments, in no particular order:
-2007 West Regional OT winner over Goofs
-Kyle Radke beating the snot out of a DU player between periods
-Dasher Dance
-2010 playoff series vs. Gophers (Frattin's demolition derby & throttling them twice)
-2008 West Regional comeback and OT win over Wisconsin
-Trupp's OT winner batted out of the air vs. the Gophers
-Last year's shorty OT winner vs. Air Force
-Doug Woog vs. Dean Blais Bubble Hockey
-
I thought of another big screen feature that is no more:
"The University of North Dakota is the home of the Fighting Sioux. UND chose the name Fighting Sioux in the 1930s, because the Sioux warriors were the most courageous of all warriors. The great Sioux nation epitomized honor, courage, pride, overcoming adversity, and winning battles. We ask tonight that you would cheer your team to victory, and exhibit good sportsmanship, as well as respect for the American Indians and their proud and honored culture and heritage. Thank you."

Bring back the Trunk Monkey!
YES. Another one I had forgotten about.
-
I had completely forgotten about "Beer Lady"/"Beer Grandma" until this morning, which got me thinking, what other sort of in-game features have been a part of UND hockey games in the past that we're forgetting?
I'll start the list:
-Beer Lady/Beer Grandma
-Cowbell Guy
-
I don't have any data, but wouldn't you think many of the students who take over 4 years to graduate do so because they've changed majors, and not from some lack of effort by only taking 12 credits a semester?
There is a 0% chance UND would suggest such a move if it wouldn't raise revenues, and raising revenues means more debt for students. No matter how they frame it, it's a bad deal for students.
Answer me this - if a student is taking 12 credits now, how does this motivate them to take 15? If they aren't taking 15 credits when those extra 3 are free, why would they pay MORE to take them?
-
This is a disguised maneuver to raise tuition and a very deceptive tactic by the administration. More reading on this:
http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/education/3711205-und-mulls-changing-tuition-model
http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/und-proposes-massive-tuition-hike/
IMO - UND's tuition is what keeps it a great value. Without such a great tuition rate, the university probably sees fewer enrollments from the cities and other areas. I've known many people who came purely because the price was much better than other regional universities. This feels a lot like taking from many to benefit a few at the university.

I'll admit to being frustrated with Hak's lack of championships - however, in his defense, we've gone into the Frozen Four with some pretty good goalies - at least two on the Hobey Baker list - and have had some uncharacteristic and monumental meltdowns. I can't think of a time when we had a goalie stand tall or play even to or slightly above his talent. What gives with our continued goalie let downs? The names change, but the results are the same.
Zane last year. What was a letdown about his performance at any point in the tournament?
-
Not meaning to split hairs, but there is a banner with the years we have "participated" in the Frozen 4.
So what if there's a banner? They hang banners in the Dean Dome for Final Fours at UNC. I think it's worth noting the program has been there so many times.
-
I realize you are trying to prove a point but that is the stupidest thing anyone has ever said at anytime. Reel it back in a bit, chief.
Who would you rather have coaching the team? I like having a program alumni behind the bench, and I can't think of anyone else I'd rather have there. You bring an NHL coach in here and they might have more experience at a higher level, but they aren't going to respect the program like an alumni and they aren't going to do any better than Hak. The only thing missing from his resume is a natty, and while that's huge, I'd still take where we are at as a program over having a natty and a handful of losing seasons.

Anyone looking to dump off their worthless UND jerseys or other memorabilia after another disappointment please PM me.
I get it, everyone wants a championship. Not winning is disappointing, not winning after 7 trips to the F4 is unbearable. But when you look at it, the only coach that can come close to comparing to Hakstol in terms of achievements in the last 11 years is Jerry York. JERRY FREAKIN' YORK...ie - the winning-est coach in D1 history. There are only 4 coaches who have gotten 7 teams in the playoffs in the last 11 years, much less to the F4. If you want a non-hockey analogy, look at Bobby Cox. The guy took the Braves to the playoffs for 14 straight years and won 1 championship. You know how Braves fans treat him? Like the baseball god he is. Anyone who thinks Dave Hakstol should be fired doesn't have "high expectations", they are spoiled rotten. We all want championships, but those of us with the mental capacity to remember there's 7 months in a season know that Hak is doing things right, and that to get rid of him would be insanity.
I've met Dave, I've been coached by Dave, I've watched him and his teams for years. There is not one coach anywhere on the planet I would rather have behind that bench. Not only has he consistently taken teams to the postseason, but he's done it with teams that by talent alone had no place being there. Every other program in the country has had an "off" year in the last decade except for North Dakota. I'll ride that consistency for as long as Hakstol will stay. Mark my words, he will keep getting teams into the playoffs every year, and eventually they will win...and even when they don't win a championship, they will still have great years, win tons of games, and make for great hockey to watch for 7 months.
UND and Grand Forks are lucky to have this hockey program, and they are lucky to have Dave Hakstol.
