I'd be ticked too...thongs are soooooo 1998!

Apparently you have never been to a Green Bay Packer game...

Unless they're playing UND, yes.

Like x 1000. I always chuckle when I see some doofus wearing a Vikings or Twins jersey...at a Wild hockey game.

I didn't know David Spade was a Sioux hockey fan!

Great show today. UND mentioned and lots of boo'ing followed (as expected) but a great day for fans in Fargo and NDSU. Well done, Bison.

All the more reason why the nickname had to go according to anti-nickname folks...

Right! ESPN College Game Day is an awesome show...Fargo will be going crazy during the pre-game show. I wonder what headgear Lee Corso is going to put on...hmnnnn...I gave a guess...

Groan. Have you seen Notre Dame and Michigan State play the past few weeks? This game will be a slog-fest of punts or else it'll be a 47-44 game. MSU's offense can't score a TD to save its life and Notre Dame's defense apparently needs to wake up the echoes of dead internet girlfriends to stop somebody...

They were a win or two short of winning Hockey East last season...I agree wtih you that they are an up-and-coming team.

I think the true Wisconsin is the one that played the first half of the season and was ultimately blown out of the building by UMass-Lowell in the first round of the NCAA tournament...

I miss PirdeOnIce.com! Gopher Puck live can't carry the former site's jock strap!

A shout-out for the skating Friars!

Nevermind the Big 10, they can't even support the only major sport in town. When the Columbus Blue Jackets move to Quebec or Seattle, will anyone in Ohio notice?

Herb Brooks actually does represent an NCHC program, although it's obviously not what he's most famous for... http://www.stcloudst...p?storyID=40599

Good call, Snake. I'll get things started with my picks for conference regular season champions: Hockey East: UMass-Lowell WCHA: Minnesota State-Mankato NCHC: North Dakota BIg 10: Michigan ECAC: Union Atlantic Hockey: Niagara

This is a valid point, Goon.

Gratitutious post count stat-pad comment!

OSU had better hope the NCAA hammer never falls on its football program (I honestly don't know how it avoided more sanctions following Saint Tressel, Maurice Clarrett, and their antics, but obviously they're an NCAA cash-cow and we couldn't possibly let that happen, could we?) or its hockey program will be dismantled immediately afterward.

I need time to put together my thoughts, but there will be a response. I used an old argument a while back on a friend of mine who was tired of the Notre Dame logo being compared with the Sioux logo and how it couldn't be racist because it's a fictional character. I asked him if UND received permission from Notre Dame to use the same logo but colored his face a darker shade, what his thoughts would be. He immediately replied that it WOULD be racist, at which point I reminded him that the logo with a white face isn't racist because it's a fictional character. He looked puzzled...

Why the small print, Mariucci? It's hard to read.

The avatar will give it away too. I'm not sure how long you've been hanging around here, but I, for one, always enjoy reading opinions and thoughts from fans of other teams. Welcome!

The only reason OSU hockey will draw better this year will be because Gopher and Badger fans will occupy what previously used to be empty seats... All this time on SiouxSports.com, Mariucci, and I couldn't even talk you into buying one of those snazzy winter hats in your beloved Gopher colors?

Hmnnnn....muhawks...that wouldn't be Miami of Ohio RedHawks, would it? I personally like Miami hockey and Enrico Palazzo Blasi. Still can't believe they lost the title game to BU the way they did...
