So the bedwetters in Minnesota claimed that the NHL wouldn't allow "North Stars" and "Stars" because of the potential confusion between the teams...but we're apparently going to have Blackhawks and Red Hawks (RedHawks? Redhawks?), Night Hawks (or Nighthawks), or Desert Hawks in the same league?

Note to self: remove InHeavenThereIsNoBeer from 2016 Christmas card list.

Remember the lines when they announced that the nickname was gone? North DakotaHockey hadn't seen lines that long since the Great Depression! A t-shirt, sweatshirt, jacket, or hat reading "UND HAWKEY" = corny or cheesy, take your pick.

UND HAWKEY? GROAN...

Good heavens, what a sad day in the sports world. He was one of the best. Godspeed, John Saunders. We'll miss you.

I'm Fetch and you're not.

I logged in this am and find that the most-recent post in the "Goofers are insane" thread was posted 666 minutes ago. Coincidence? I think not!

Get gfhockey on the phone. I think he speaks Fetch.

RIGHT! The judge should have thrown the book at him and forced him to attend every single B10 hockey game this year. Now THAT would have been punishmnent!

LOL! And we finally get some REAL insight as to the reason gfhooker likes Minneapolis better.

People cheer for who they want to cheer for. Nobody was a Patriots fan and you NEVER saw a New England jersey anywhere until Tom Brady came along. Seahawks fans are everywhere now too. How many die-hard Bison fans and UND haters in Fargo are HUGE North Dakota hockey fans? LOTS! And they're chastised here too because some folks don't understand how you can be a fan of both teams. Everyone needs to relax and let DaveK be DaveK. He's a Gopher hockey fan now. Big deal.

Hey, no worries, bigskyvikes. FUGGGGG-EDDDDABBBBOUDDDDDIT!

Oh, come on bigsky...I didn't mean to hurt your feelings!

LOLWUT?

Going back to the 1800's? For real? Who has kept their uniforms relatively the same over the past 40-50 years? Oh, I don't know, maybe Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss, Texas, Texas A&M, Florida, Florida State, USC, UCLA, Colorado, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Ohio State, Wisconsin...

Yes and yes. And Notre Dame can go back to their blue, white, and special occasion green uniforms only. Michigan stays the same too. Oregon can be grandfathered in and do whatever the he** they want. Everyone else, get rid of the chrome helmets and 3,247 jersey/pant combinations. Please.

Yea, remember when the Minnesota Vikings thought that THIS was "mixing it up" and "refreshing." NO THANKS!

I actually like the logo on the one side but agree 100% on the NASCAR numbers. That font looks silly with the totally different font on the jersey. I'll give the helmet standing by itself a B grade. Not bad.

Love the arbitrary math used to exclude 1948-1952 to North Dakota's benefit. Viva Las Vegas!

I'm confused, Cratter. 7 Frozen Four appearances under Hakstol was considered a failure, but now 1 title in 8 Frozen Four appearances makes UND the premiere hockey program in the country?

So then I said, "Because they sure do like to disguise themselves as those at Mariucci!!"

And Milton is Frank Mazzacco, right?

The mystery gift is on its way, snova4! Please let me know when it arrives!

MafiaBoy was in charge of the raffle drawing last night and the winner is... ...snova4! Congrats to snova4 on winning the mystery raffle. I will get your item in the mail as soon as you send me your home address. Thanks to everyone who was interested enough to participate in this little venture. I may have another "mystery raffle" prior to the season starting, but first, I want snova4 to let me know if his $20 investment paid off!

But, based on your empirical data of one season, the Gopher program is in a state of decline, right?
