    Maryland has a big M logo much like Michigan and Minnesota, but they found a way to coexist in the same conference!!  Notre Dame wanted in the NCHC.  But the NCHC didn't want to give them all the power and give in to all their demands.  Similar logos had nothing to do with it.  Not sure where you heard that!! 

     

    I recall an article that quoted Grant Shaft, back in the logo controversy of 1994-2011, where he mentioned that Notre Dame had "concerns with North Dakota's logo" and that was a sticking point with them considering the NCHC (presumably along with the TV contract discussions).  Some postulated that the logo issue was the interlocking ND, and not the Sioux logo that was, by then, already listed as "to be retired".   I'm not saying this was the reason Notre Dame went out East, just mentioning that I recalled the discussion.  Perhaps the issue was over the Sioux logo..IIRC, Mr. Shaft did not elaborate in his statement at the time, merely saying "logo".

    I was and remain under the impression that Notre Dame told the NCHC no thanks, not the other way around.

     

    I recall a discussion regarding the UND logo.  Notre Dame has issues with that.  Not the former Sioux logo, but the UND one.  Very similar to the ND logo.  Could be a sticking point with coming to the NCHC.

    Sioux sweep. I've heard over and over that WMU is playing so good or playing better than record. Not even .500 in last 6 games and exactly that overall 12-12-4. You are your record. No bad lapses and sioux sweep Broncos in their barn. Not an easy task at all but they are the better team. Solid weekend from zane and its 6 tough road points.

    Sounds like it will be a full house with the sioux in town. Would like to get to western for a series someday soon.

     

    Agreed, I feel a road sweep coming on.  Thought I felt one when they traveled to Omaha...but this is crunch time.  The Seniors will step up yet again, Zane bricks the corners down, and we come home with six hard earned, gritty road points.  A couple of greasy goals won't hurt.  It's time to get our D-men back on the scoreboard too.  Some big bombs from the high slot would fill the bill.

     

    Also agree that I'd like a trip to Kalamazoo...looks like a good atmosphere (student section rowdy enough) and who doesn't want to say that they've been to Kalamazoo at least once?
