It must be hard to be such an angry bitter person, passit. Best wishes to you and yours this Christmas season. P.S. Phil Housley sends his regards.

I wasn't on the guest list apparently.

Epic indeed.

I still laugh at fans who couldn't wait to leave WCHA officiating behind...did folks think new officiating crews would fall out of the sky or what?

Comments like these are funny. Not meaning to single you out, but it seems EVERY Sioux loss is the latest and worst loss in college hockey history. You can practically just copy and paste the usual commentary: 1) totally screwed over by refs - worst officiating I've ever seen. In the history of hockey. Until the next game UND loses... 2) outworked, outhustled, outplayed. Team NEVER puts in a full 60 minutes of effort in a loss. Could be a 7 overtime NCAA tournament loss and someone will complain about the lack of effort. Guaranteed. 3) Hakstol's line-up. Always someone who's in the line-up who shouldn't be. Always. And he probably was a -3 on the score sheet too. 4) Hakstol's line-up part deaux. Always someone in the stands in a suit who no doubt would have put a hat trick on the board had he played. Dammit, Hak. 5) penalty on UND - cue the "TH emphatically disagrees" line. UND would never EVER get a penalty with him in stripes. Pattyn could get a game DQ for running over an opposing player with the zamboni and TH would disagree with the call. That's the top 5 anyways...I'm sure there are others I've missed...hoping for a better outcome tonight. Go Sioux.

UNH defeats Chattanooga 35-30

Aaawwww...that's cute. The %gobc let gfhockey get on the board tonight.

So America's Top 200 still doesn't get me the one damn thing I want to watch on TV tonight...effing perfect.

There's a surprise...

I'm not finding it either...but I do hve UNO/St Cloud game...

Who, Maine?

Brian Lee officially retires from hockey...gonna go back to school at good old NDSU...

According to everything I've read on the subject, Baylor got in over TCU. Houston, SMU, and Rice had pretty much zero shot.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the Bruins' uniform...or the Penguins, for that matter, when they wear the classic gold and not the stupid Vegas gold, anyways.

Did any of those schools use Native American imagery with those logos? Did any of those schools change their name from something Indian-related to Bison or Buffaloes? Did any of those schools thumb their nose at the NCAA while fighting to keep their nickname? Did any of those schools rile up the NCAA like North Dakota did?

I suppose it's only a problem if the men running with Ralphie are wearing Native American costumes...

A compass? Or Native American symbol of friendship?

I don't think you can either...but, tell me, do you think SOMEONE in Indianapolis might?

See above post.

And your proposed UND nickname isn't the "Compasses," either.

I'm not saying it's a poor design or poor drawing, in fact, I think it's quite creative. However, what I am saying is that given UND's past connection with "Fighting Sioux," some members of the NCAA may view the nickname "Arrows" a bit differently than what I would consider normal people would.

William & Mary "compromised" with respect to the NCAA about as much as the Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia "invited" the Red Army to annex their countries and make them part of the USSR. http://hamptonroads.com/2007/12/william-and-mary-replaces-logo-remove-feathers

I see two feathers. The NCAA sees "Indian imagery."

Then your assumption that the NCAA would have no reason to consider the arrow "hostile" imagery is based on what, exactly? Because I can tell you exactly why it's quite feasable based on W&M's history.
