    So......how hot is Berry's seat now?  Is next year a "prove it" year?  Can't think that if we miss the playoffs 3 straight years under Berry that he would be back.  Berry just signed a contract extension through the 2022-2023 season.  I miss the good old days when the reasons for firing the head coach was because the team couldn't win once it got to the Frozen Four.  We can't even get to the Frozen Faceoff!!!

    Why would they get rid of Berry when we still have the same mediocre coach since DII in the Betty. Hockey is no where near the sh*tshow that basketball is. I would think Chaves’ list of coaches to get rid of that Berry would be further down the page.

    If Fargo hadn't prioritized potential south Fargo expansion over neighboring townships, they likely wouldn't be having as much trouble getting it approved as they are.

    Now they have new buildings all over farm land just prime for overland flooding. They did protect people from the river with floodwalls but the overland flooding could bite them in the butt.

    Hard to believe it's been over 20 years since the 97 flood....too bad Fargo couldn't have figured out a decent flood prevention plan in that time... hopefully they can hit their million bag goal. 

    They have but Minnesota blocked it, then a federal judge so it’s all politics. I guess not going under in 97 was their mistake.

    Fargo city administrator, Bruce Grubb, says the city is planning for at least the 10 percent scenario—that says the river would reach 40.3 feet. 

    "If we over prepare, we're fine with that, we just don't want to risk underpreparing," Grubb said. 

    On Friday, the flood outlook raised a couple feet—previously the worst-case scenario was looking to be around 39 feet. Now, there's a five percent chance it'll get to 41.4 feet. 

    "The levels were raised quite substantially," Grubb said. 

    With a record in 2009 of just under 41 feet, the city says a lot of the work will require volunteers to operate the spiders: the machines making sandbags.

    It is Darrell's identity to champion the new name and squash any menton of the former.  Quite ironic #moveonyourself

    So do people that play basketball in Washington DC say they play for the Wizards or the Bullets? Kids at Central don’t say #RedskinHockey do they?

    Nope. No curse regarding the logo either. 

    That logo was on the hat of the 2016 Big Sky Conference football champions and made an NCAA tournament. Clearly no NCAA "curse" there. 

    Seems hockey is just slacking. 

    Don’t forget that logo was in the eyes of millions watching March Madness when we played Arizona. Lots of Hawk banners hanging in the Betty.

    Why start this crap here once again. Instead tweet it to Gardner. 

    What is crap is a player either saying "Sioux hockey" between periods on tv, or a player posting this. Sorry boys you are Fighting Hawks, Fighting Sioux was 7 years ago.

    Someone said, “you played for the fighting hawks...”

    And he would be right. Funny you don’t see athletes of other sports saying #SiouxForever in basketball, football, volleyball, etc. It’s like the only people that want to “stick it” to the new name and logo are all associated with hockey. Players, coaches, and fans.

    And if they can get by NC Central and play Duke Friday in prime time, they will be on CBS with Jim Nantz, Bill Rafferty and Grant Hill. That is a pretty big deal. And there is a small chance they can keep it interesting for half of a half or so. Everybody they put on the floor can make a three, so if they are on they may be able to stay close for a little while.  

    If they can hang with them like they did Kansas that would be something. Duke is too powerful.

    Curses are real.

    Cubs had to sacrafice a goat er somethin.

    Whatever offering we have to make to the curse oracles ... we do it.

    Maybe burn a hawk wrapped in a fhawks jersey in front of the ralph?

    use the blood of the hawk to paint the red lines?

    Dont know but... curses are real..

    Ill start by eating a dozen of the deep friend wings of the hawks tastier cousin.

     

    Maybe UND was cursed with the building of the new REA and the BB Sioux logo, but was broken when:

    Hak was gone

    Sioux name gone

    Fighting Hawks name installed

     

    Just think that little birdie has been to the Dance, NCAA tournaments in multiple sports, won numerous conference championships.

    You don't hear Bison supporters yell,  "let's go Aggies" at their events nor Stsnford fans holler 'Go Indians go".... Maybe the hockey team has an 'identity crisis' when they hear those who like  to live in the past yell "Let's go Sioux"...when they're  not...that anymore...Time to live in the real world....that name 'was, but ain't ever going to be'....look around it's 2019....Deal with what is.....get out of your hole and breathe the fresh air....

    How many people at the high school hockey tournament yelled “Let’s go Redskins”. If people want to yell Go Sioux, whatever, but to blame the season on the Hawks logo is sad and pathetic.

  12. It’s so funny to read the comments on social media about the reason UND hasn’t been in the tourney for the last two years. The little birdy on the uniform is the whole difference. People are calling it a curse. I guess those folks think that little logo will be the death of the program because I don’t see it being removed.
