You're kidding me, right? This kind of backs up the point that nicknames and logos matter, no? They've been the "Cardinal" for like 40 years and yet a sports fan STILL hase no clue about their nickname.

Nope, they're still not the Cardinals, darell...

Um...they're not the Cardinals, darell...

Aw, darell1976, your use of the downvote button is so cute...I see how that works too.

Well, that seals the deal, I guess. The logo is extremely popular on one block of the street somewhere in Fargo!

Winning 0 national titles doesn't make the former Sioux logo look bad any more than winning 2 titles with the bonnet-head logo make the 1997 and 2000 logo look good.

That's some good intel, gfhockey. Did you run into him at The Diamond Cabaret after Saturday's game?

I once told a buddy of mine that if the 1980 Soviet Olympic team reunited for a game against the Gophers, I'd buy a ticket and cheer like mad for those red commie b*st*rds!

Bobby Houck left for "greener grass on the other side" at UNLV...I think he'd give his left arm for a shot at redemption and to be back at Montana.

That's not what you said at all. You said that this year's Utah team was far better than last year's Iowa team. Utah is 1-6 in their last 7 games including blowout losses at Oregon (20-41) and at home against Arizona State (10-30).

WELL THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY! C'mon, sprig! WORSE than the Paukovich hit on Bina at the Final Five?

I'll be your huckleberry...heard last night that DU converted 50% of its power plays this weekend (trying to verify that). Anyone here think that, regardless of whether good or bad penalties, that that's probably NOT acceptable for any team's PK unit?

"Call it both ways" is something I've heard going back about 30 years. Statistics show that the home team typically gets the benefit of some calls because of the influence of the home fans cheering or booing as certain calls are made as well as the home coach giving the referees an earful. Last night's games was an example of both of those happening.

So which way do we want it? When DU gets 8 straight power players, we complain about the officiating. When DU gets two straight power plays, the assumption is that UND should automatically get the next one to "even things up a bit," but then penalty calls are dictated by whining coaches and fans. I'm so confused...

LOL! Well, Scott Sandelin says, "what about ME?"

The reffing commentary and Denver hyperbole are en fuego today. Seems like just yesterday when we complained about UMD always getting the better end of the worst calls in hockey history and were the biggest bunch of divers and "p*ss**s" on the ice? Oh, wait, it literally WAS just yesterday when we said all that...

Utah is now 5-6 on the season after losing earlier tonight at Washington.

I propose a more neutral out-of-state site: East Grand Forks MN.

UND is the conference heavyweight. Threatening to leave the conference over a single call in one hockey game would be met with scorn and ridicule.

LOL! So threaten to leave the conference until the schoolyard bully gets his way? Man, and I thought Minnesota fans always believed they were entitled...

I meant 2 goals away from a road sweep!

Boys, boys, boys...it's 1-1 heading into the 3rd. 1 goal and 20 minutes away from a road SWEEP of Denver!

The black jerseys look absolutely gorgeous with the green-white-green hem stripes!

Loved the DU whiteboard last night saying "Fighting Hawks since 2010...buy a new jersey." Camera promptly pans the crowd and it showed lots of the Daniel Boone logo on banners, hats, and sweatshirts!

Great post. If only Hakstol had won the Moose Jaw Mite B Jamboree, he'd be considered a "champion."
