The NCAA has shown again that it will STEAMROLL anyone who opposes its agenda. If you have any doubt how serious they were about scrubbing "Fighting Sioux" from the history books, you only need to look at the boycott of North Carolina that essentially put Duke on the road against the University of SOUTH Carolina in the men's NCAA tournament. If the NCAA was willing to mess with one of the cash cows of March Madness just to "prove" their opinion, rest assured, they would have spent millions to get rid of "Fighting Sioux." I, too, smiled at the "Sioux Forever" chant immediately after the Frozen Four. Then when I heard it in-person at Target Center a month or so ago, I cringed. It's time to move on. It was quite an experience watching the men's basketball team in March Madness - think about that, OUR men's basketball team playing in March Madness. Unthinkable back in 1988-1992 when I was at UND. The jerseys looked great and so did the wordmark on them - as well as the logo on the TV scoreboard. The university is still wearing green, white, and black, and I am looking forward to seeing the new wordmark and logo on the hockey jerseys next season. Hawks on the jerseys, Sioux in my heart, but still MY University of North Dakota.

on the 2009-2011 style. That was done at the suggestion of EPS. It was changed because the radio and TV folks found the player numbers hard to see from the booth. The green gave that jersey a real "pop" effect. Same with the green numbers on the black jerseys.

Four jerseys (implying that that was all they needed on the racks at the Sioux Shop) and the ebay account IdalskiB meaning that the former head coach bought them all and listed them himself. Not nearly as funny as I thought it was, I guess...
-
Yea, I heard. Someone by the name of IdalskiB on ebay has all four of them for sale for $500 each.

To be fair, the Germans were all over the USA for the first 24 seconds of that game...

Ahem, jersey sizes, numbers, and name on back. Paging Wilbur and Pump it Up.

Minnesota will put up with $20 million a year losses before 86'ing that program. They'll fund it at ALL costs now.

Love the one woman getting up to the podium at the end and barking "DO YOUR JOB!" at the committee members. They did. Just because the vote didn't go your way doesn't mean they didn't consider your objections. But, welcome to the new America - where you can't have a different opinion than the mob.

Good! Hopefully SDSU can find ten students with some COMMON EFFING SENSE to take their place. http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/opinion/the-conversation/sd-how-will-sdsu-vote-on-the-aztec-warrior-20170419-htmlstory.html Interesting video of the vote - fast-forward to the end after the votes are tallied. Good stuff.

The nickname. Finley-Sharon was the Raiders, I think.
-
So what is the Finley-Sharon-Hope-Page co-op called?
-
Mayville-Portland-Clifford-Galesburg? What happened to Page-Hope-Clifford-Galesburg?

Belfield completely repainted the purple, yellow, and white with the Notre Dame colors thanks to the co-op with South Heart. That included the gym floor. The only mention of Bantams anywhere is of the state tournament banners high up in the rafters. South Heart (unless it's changed recently) decided to repaint their gym too - in the original maroon, yellow, and white colors of the Eagles.

SILENCE, SICATOKA! The truth will NOT be tolerated!

Bye bye Blackhawks!

Sorry, my OCD kicked in big-time on that one.
-
Wow, 2018 in Sioux Falls and 2019 in Fargo? GREAT OPPORTUNITIES in front of you, Fighting Hawk hockey!
-
Now THERE is the gfhockeey we all know and loove!
-
Uh oh Chicago. The Blackhawks are in trouble! i like that Nashville has embraced the mustard yellow color, but the team looked far better with navy blue brain buckets.
-
Well that didn't take long!

Fixed your post...starting next season.

Firing Mike Yeo lit a fire under someone's a**...unfortunately for the Wild, it was Mike Yeo's!
