Don't be such a schmuck, petey23. Haven't you heard the nickname controversy going on at Marquette? They are actually going to have a vote to determine whether the nickname should stay the Buckeyes or if it should be changed to the Badgers.

Thanks for refreshing my memory, PCM. Ever thought of trying out for ESPN's "Stump the Schwab"?

Nice work, Mr Moderator, but couldn't bertibm's boobies have stayed for one more post?

Good explanation, PCM and good reminder about that Bochenski goal against the Gophers. If I remember right, wasn't that a clearing attempt by the Gopher goalie that hit Bochenski in the thigh and bounced into the empty net?

BOOBIES!

You're right Fedorov. Clearly, this is the best recruiting class in the history of hockey. It's a good thing the 1980 Soviet Olympic team is past its prime because the 2005-2006 Gophers would give them an a** kicking they wouldn't soon forget.

The truth shall set you free, I Ranger! I couldn't agree more.

If we're going to turn hockey into soccer by having the players intentionally kick goals into the nets, why don't we just take away the sticks while we're at it?

Honestly...how hard is it to do some research? It's not rocket science.

Personal insults accomplish nothing. I respect GrahamCracker's opinion and respectfully disagree. A few years ago, I stood in line at Target behind an American Indian wearing a Cleveland baseball hat and Indians jersey. Racist? Misguided? An Uncle Tom? I don't know...you tell me. Just the other day I was at the pool and an American Indian man walks up to me and says he noticed the tattoo on my back shoulderblade. It is of the old Sioux logo (Blackhawk, if you will) with the words "NORTH DAKOTA" above it and "FIGHTING SIOUX" below it. He asked to see it close-up and asked if I was Indian. I am not and told him that I attended UND and am a fan of the hockey team. He was familiar with the school and the hockey team. His response? A) "You're a racist pig!" B) "Change the nickname!" C) "Cool tattoo...I like it." The answer would be C. The gentleman must be another uninformed commoner who needs to be told that white society is putting him down. Or maybe, just maybe, he really thought it was a cool tattoo. While we're busy trying to wipe out the Sioux nickname and logo, perhaps we can start burning history books, too, and making sure no one knows who inhabited North Dakota before white Germans and Norwegians. I don't see how changing the nickname accomplishes anything.
