    How is it tot hard to fully blame Smith on the Santana deal? He took the FORTH best option of players for him. To trade an ACE in any rotation and not get back a proven every day MLB star is sad. Making "pretty good" moves does not cut it when you are the GM of a MLB team, you need to make great moves! Thome and Pavano were "ok" moves but its not like there were tons of teams lining up for their services either. Again, don't even get me started on the flipping Capps for Ramos deal! Just think where the Twins would be if they had Ramos after that P(*&Y Mauer went down with another hangnail injury. Yes, Bill may have been the hand picked predecessor to Terry Ryan but there in lies the problem with the Twins, promoting people that shouldn't be promoted. At the end of the day Terry Ryan wasn't the answer anymore and they need to start over. They have the offensive power to compete day in and day out against the best teams but desperately need help pitching.

    Knowing this team or the franchise? This team is not a bad team by any means, the front office was a mess (that has since been changed). They are 13-7 since Terry Ryan being released,12th in BA and 12th in Runs scored but pretty much dead last in pitching. Who's fault is that? some would say Terry Ryan and others would say the players themselves but if you really look at the whole picture, I would say that the reason the Twins are terrible has nothing to do with Terry Ryan but it has everything to do with having Bill Smith as their GM and here is why: Traded away Matt Garza, Jason Bartlett and Eduardo Morlan for Delmon Young. Traded away Johan Santana (at his high point and only got PROSPECTS) for Carlos Gomez, Phil Humber, Kevin Mulvey and Deolis Guerra (the worst offer that was on the table and he took it). He did get Carl Pavano, Jon Rauch, Orlando Cabrera and Brian Fuentes for nothing and traded Carlos Gomez for JJ Hardy but traded him away for Brett Jacobson and Jim Hoey. Let's not forget that he also dealt Wilson Ramos (58th overall prospect in MLB at the time) for MATT FLIPPIN CAPPS!!! Terry Ryan tried to fix the mess that Smith made but ultimately it became too much for him and it cost him his job. Bill Smith will go down as the worst GM ever in MLB history and it set the Twins back many years. The Twins need stop handing out #1 starter contracts to pitchers that are 4th or 5th starters on any other team. I hope the new GM comes in and makes some moves to get viable starters that can help this team now because the core of young players are there but for how long?

    It isn't that hard. Wisconsin is sinking faster than the Titanic on a cold April day!

    What was the "cost" to winning a NC this year?

    St. Louis C/F situation has been gutted as of late and he was the leading goal scorer on a half decent Wolves team. I think he will get his shot at the NHL soon.

    I saw his house went off the market. I'm sure he had a hard time trying to sell it.

    my comment was meant for sarcasm anyway...

    It was in response to you giving me a negative feedback on the highlighted comment...

    I haven't read it anywhere but one has to assume that it will be on National TV?

    I guess UND FAN didn't like my comment.....

    I wonder if they would put HAWKS in diagonal with a number on the front? Kind of like what Boston College does with their Gold jersey.

    I can understand getting one DUI, as it can happen to anyone but c'mon dude.

    In all honesty, when I saw that UND picked SME for this logo, I had high hopes. At the end of the day they really screwed the pooch on this one.
  15. siouxkid12
    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
  16. siouxkid12
    I hope they dont order a bunch of apparel because its going to take awhile for people to warm up to this logo.
  17. siouxkid12
    Bubba doesn't care about the logo, he cares about the University.
  18. siouxkid12
    sounds like ED needs to learn the school song!
  19. siouxkid12
    Nope...He was the perfect guy to help introduce this new logo.
  20. siouxkid12
    huge failure
  21. siouxkid12
    I haven't seen him play in years but if he still plays like he did at UND, he will be out of Liiga in no time.

    I believe Matt Greene has a scholarship in his name...
  23. siouxkid12
    1. He needs to make the roster. 2. The Blackhawks need to win it. 3. Of course he would, he is from GF.
  24. siouxkid12
    It sure is nice when they do bring it back to GF but we as fans need to realize that these guys only played at UND for a short time. It's one thing if they bring it to Vegas and just walk around with it but if they choose to bring it back to their hometown and show it off to the local children's hospital/ youth sports teams, I won't criticize them for that.
  25. siouxkid12
    Just because a UND alum wins the cup, does not mean they have to bring it back to GF. Not every player who has won it has brought it back.
