An all-male ice cleaning crew?

I don't understand the group of folks who think that having the word "north" appear in the school name AND the nickname is an OK idea...
NORTH Dakota NORTHern Lights?
NORTH Dakota Warriors of the NORTH?
Really?
As much as the Nokota horse is cool, is a combination of "North" and "Dakota" in the nickname the best we can offer? And is it Nokota or Nokotas? Nokoti?
I was being facetious...lots of long-time Blackhawks fans on the board here but an equal number of newbies who jumped on-board after Toews joined the team and won his first Stanley Cup. As for me, I'm just an old fuddie duddie Red Wings fan who still can't get over seeing Detroit lose game 7 at home to Pittsburgh in 2009...
I said it a long time ago...there's an infinitely better chance of Toews bringing the cup to SSM in Faribault than there is of him ever bringing it to GF. Best bet for a return visit to the area would be Oshie and Warroad.
Michigan State had plenty of empty seats when the school hosted Minnesota last year - win and the Spartans clinched a B10 championship game berth. The defending Rose Bowl champs didn't even sell out last weekend's Homecoming game.
The media and ABC were practically giddy while showing downtrodden home fans and empty rows of bleachers last weekend at Michigan Stadium. I guess it becomes a point of emphasis when the home team is losing.
Pretty much expected - not his fault that the Twins held onto players too long and got little, if anything, in return on a trade (Morneau, Willingham) and sign guys to crippling contracts (Mauer)...
