Oh, indeed. The Fargo Forum is to the NDSU Bison what Pravda was to the Soviet Union.

Well, now that the Wild have lost out on Phil Kessel, you just KNOW that they’ll break the bank to get former-WCHA’er Joe Pavelski!

Let's cut BIson players some slack, shall we? Most of them aren't intelligent enough to remember that they like their morning breakfast eggs served "sunny-side up," yet we're expecting them to know what illegal substances/supplements are? Give 'em a break, I say!

No, for real, @90siouxfan, I had no idea Rob had a handle on here. Your post made me laugh out loud.

For a guy who likes to chastise those holding onto the Fighting Sioux nickname, you sure love to re-tell the stories about the golden days of yore of the 1990's and early 2000's when it comes to UND football...

“immature,” he says... This coming from a guy making pee jokes and bringing up man/boy love in his immediate previous post.

Maybe Toronto will put his name on there with an asterisk after it? You know, because he was just riding Babcock’s coat tails...

@sioux rube Phil Kessel whining his way out of Pittsburgh and finding himself in hockey’s version of the Soviet gulags...couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

And if they win it in 2020, Hakstol should probably get some credit for being a part of the team, right? Unless John W. decides that his name shouldn’t go on the Stanley Cup...

You’re a sad and bitter old man, John W. If Brad Berry had been named assistant coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs, you would want a ticker-tape send-off parade down University Avenue. Toronto last won a Stanley Cup before Hakstol was born. “Riding the coat tails” of what, exactly? They lost in the first round of the playoffs this year.

Well, since all of those schools are big-name universities known mainly for their FBS football teams...no, wait, they’re not. I give up, what schools SHOULD North Dakota be identified with?

You think the Sun Devils will slum it with the Colorado Colleges, St Cloud States, and North Dakotas of the college hockey world for long?

Because when i think of the top programs of 1998, Western Michigan comes to mind, right?

Since the next home game that counts is against Canisius College, you’d think they’d put the Golden Griffins logo up there. #paybackseries #blackjerseyweekend

Well, not all of us make %gobc-type money, so we have to budget our trips accordingly.

@bale31 First off, excellent use of the word “ergo.” Secondly, to point number 4, I agree that Mankato has established itself as a player in the college hockey universe and would be a great fit in the NCHC. I miss those yearly road trips down 169 to see Mettl, er, hockey. Lastly, could not agree more with point number 5. College hockey tossed away decades of history in the name of fortune. Change was inevitable, but the WCHA Final Five as we knew it was the greatest show on ice. I still miss it.

I can tell you for a fact that Ralph Engelstad himself wanted the Ben Brien logo on all of the national championship banners and that it was a demand, not a request. Would you like me to resurrect the thread I started several years ago about correcting the banners and making them historically accurate? If this is indeed being done, it is LONG overdue.

@Emerald joker

Hey, @Taz Boy and those of you who love Fighting Sioux hockey and the old logo...I'm surprised I don't see some of your names in the "Mystery Raffle," as I'm certain you'd like one of the four prizes!

Given the ineffectiveness of the hockey program’s special teams’ play, I think it’s safe to say he already does.

Is it just me or does the shadow on the white screen form a Ben Brien Sioux logo?

Johns Hopkins.

Does this hurt my Uncle Dick’s 3-point shooting percentage?
