Pics or it didn't happen!

I have a couple of questions regarding this: #1) Were you buying a standard or metric wrench set? #2) What was the Stanley Cup doing at Sears?

Much better. Nic Dowd (22 goals, 18 assists) is obviously a big loss for SCSU. Four-year player for the Huskies. I honestly don't know too much else about their squad, but he was solid last year. AZ State's only real choice would be the NCHC. I'm sure Colorado College and Denver would both like that road trip.

How about a new thread? 2012-2013 is a little stale.

I saw the Stanley Cup in 2008 when it was in Eau Claire WI for three hours...on the 6th of July. I believe somewhere in the neighborhood of 4,000 people got a chance to see it that day. Super cool.

The obsession with Idaho continues...tell me, how did their little experiment with FBS go? How's that train wreck UMass doing?

You consider North Dakota football to be in the upper FCS group...based on WHAT, can I ask?

With all due respect, If UND football is just a hair below the level of a P5, then NDSU must currently be in talks with Jim Delaney about becoming the next member of the Big 10.

And, of course, you think UND belongs in that G5/upper FCS schools, right?

Wasn't meaning to post this here but I apparently managed to somehow revive an archived post without having my comment added, so I figured it was as good a spot as any. I just wanted to pay tribute to one of Sioux hockey's biggest fans, THETRIOUXPER, on August 7, 2014, the 5th anniversary of his passing away. Troy, you're gone but not forgotten here in the hockey forums section of SiouxSports.com. Tell the Boss that while we appreciate his helping Union College save us all from a year of Gopher smack-talk, that we could use another small favor next spring. I'm sure he's already gotten an earful from you about that damn nickname change thing...

Go crazy, Denver fans, go crazy!

Hard to believe that THETRIOUXPER has been gone for five years already. Some of the fans on the board still miss you around here, Troy - just wanted you to know that you haven't been forgotten.

If the NCAA got its undies in a bunch over William & Mary's feather attached to its "W&M" logo, imagine how bad the hammer would come down on "Spirit" with an Indian-head logo?

I realize that they have played more often, but it's hard to call the Notre Dame/Navy game a "rivalry" when one side of it has won 74 out of the 87 games played in its history. If you're playing the "total meetings" card, surely you can't rank Stanford/Notre Dame (28 meetings) ahead of Michigan/Notre Dame (41 meetings), can you? Oh, wait...now it all makes sense. One of these things is not like the other ones. It's only a "rivalry" if Notre Dame is actually LEADING in the all-time series record. Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame!

I have a hard time believing some of the good folks who will eventually populate this nickname-selection committee will go along with a future UND nickname that "honors" war-mongering white guys (along with, egads, segregated units of "colored" soldiers) who used guns to kill Spanish soldiers. Monarch Butterflies, Blizzard, and Sparkly Unicorns all score quite high on the "it won't offend anyone" scale.

Oh the disgrace of Montana State 86'ing a date with the Bison. That would never happen to schools like Notre Dame and Michigan, would it? I mean, can you imagine one school's AD simply being handed an envelope before a game which, when opened a day later, revealed the intention of ending the rivalry? I'm not going to carry the water for the Bobcats here, but by buying out the Bison game, MSU was able to add in a 6th home game as well as a trip to Dallas TX to play SMU - as opposed to making two trips to eastern North Dakota.

I think they were actually considered "Progressives" or "Bull Moose"...

I know you can spare 3 minutes of your day to watch it.

Couldn't agree more with what you're saying. The state of ND has beaten to death the propaganda, er, idea, that Roughriders, Teddy Roosevelt, and North Dakota, are synonymous with each other. They're about as close together as Wolverines and Spartans are in the Detroit area. Besides, don't we need permission from descendants of actual Roughriders to see if they indeed approve of the "honor" of such a nickname? I still like the idea of Mustangs...but not the horse kind...the P-51 kind. Of course, though, there's that damn condom thing again...d'oh.

Meanwhile, UNDBIZ harkens back to his days at Berg Elementary School in Dickinson...3rd grade English class...where he learned to use the ' correctly...

Paging NorthDakotaHockey or Blackheart...ROAD TRIP?

Boy, wouldn't that be nice! Discipline on the bench will be a welcome change too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGJb2iLvOKE Video is 4:09 long...skit ends at 3:05 mark though.
