Home whites should have FIGHTING HAWKS on the front while the road greens and alternate blacks should have NORTH DAKOTA on them.

I wonder if team USA will bust out the 1960-style jerseys...

I know...I was just teasin' ya.

Um...isn't that a yard banner? Why would you mount that to the side of your vehicle?

My grandpa was 12 when North Dakota changed its nickname from Flickertails to Fighting Sioux. He died in 2008 and his final words were: "I can't believe they changed the Flickertails..."

I've had a few PMs...cmon lurkers, I know you're out there!

And then what happens when "Sparkly Unicorns" or "Sundogs" gets picked as the final choice? We wait a few MORE years and then have yet ANOTHER nickname vote until the folks who wanted "just North Dakota" or "Roughriders" get their way?

Which actually meets one piece of the criteria, "honoring the past," doesn't it?

Sounds like some of you guys think UND really missed the boat by not going with "Sundogs"...

You're suggesting ANOTHER nickname vote? No way that should happen. It's already been a farce...this would make it 100X worse.

So what did you think of the "divide" that Roger Thomas created when he made the decision to stop putting Sioux heads on the football uniforms?

Has to be true...I can tell because of the Facebook comments. Hey, I also read on Facebook that they're shutting down all Taco Bells in 2018. Guess I'd better stock up on chili cheese burritos with extra cheese while I still can, eh?

I thought you got that from a street vendor in Cancun?

Blue USA is in the works along with another project that I have lined up. Limited to the first 12 people who PM me. No further details on that will be posted. Join the club...or miss the boat and wish you had at least asked about it.

You two are closer than @Wilbur. He sent me a PM asking if Myshkin was the lead character in the movie "Dr. Zhivago."

No worries. The internet is only forever.

...or who gets inserted unexpectedly into one of the biggest games of all-time?

Justin Duberman with the hat-trick in a 6-4 loss to Moscow Dynamo. That was either the 1988-1989 or 1989-1990 season, however. Interesting note to history is that Vladimir Myshkin was the Dynamo back-up goalie in that game against UND. Does that name sound familiar?

Remember when Nashville was considered a disaster market for the NHL and how stupid Gary Bettman was for helping to put a team there? It's been a GREAT addition to the league (along with Tampa Bat) even if Florida, Atlanta, and Phoenix/Arizona have been total disasters.

Thanks, but no thanks. Feel free to celebrate in private (no pun intended).

Joe fan: WCHA plan to raise money is a disaster - just $700 in donations so far. Brad column headline: WCHA well on its way to keeping women's hockey alive with $700 donation!

Yes, nothing spells "improvements" like a view of the downtown looking outside of the venue and better troughs in the men's room. I'd prefer this tournament move to a town that is actually aware that a hockey tournament is going on - St Paul.

RIGHT? Where are the leaks?

Actually, yea, it is. The arched SIOUX has a way thinner white section than a real jersey and that Indian-head is a hot mess of color -especially the random white lines and markings on the face.
