I am confused by the comment of Blount "They still think they can bully the NCAA, which is laughable." I beg to differ that it is the other way around. The NCAA thinks and knows they can bully us. I agree the nickname needs to be retired in order for our athletic teams to survive. Also in all of this the likes of Iowa, MN, WI and their holier than thou attitudes. Would they really not play football or another sport against say Florida State? Would their holier than thou consciences allow them to do that. $$$$ i think we know that answer to this. Hypocrisy at its highest. This whole thing has turned into PC run way to far amok. I can see why people want to stick it to the NCAA. I wish UND could give the middle finger to those schools like UM, WI and Iowa because at the end of the day it isn't about integrity it is about the mighty dollar.

Perhaps when they win a NC I will give them better props but they are just living off the brand name.

I am sorry but Notre Dame is a joke when it comes to hockey. They basically live off their football cred and it is absolutely ridiculious that they are spotlighted on a national tv station. NBC will soon realize that airing a mediocre team that will get overhyped and underperform year in and year out. Folks it would have been nice to have the Notre Dame name in the NCHC but as far as substance. Meh....(Think St. Cloud) I know GFG you were just pointing out and I don't think you think Notre Dame is a top NCAA team. Hell I can respect the gophers more than Notre Dame. At least UM has accomplished something on the ice.

He was out there and looked good.

I thought it was Mattson.

The more the merrier right.

I can only imagine the goofer fans all up in arms over not having a player represented for Minnesota.

I just remember two hits on wehrs. I believe both were from Frattin but now that I think about it one of those hits could have been on Alt. So you are probably right it could have been Malone.

Wasn't the first hit when Wehrs tried to hit Frattin and basically hit a brick wall. I am not laughing at the hit but laughing at the gopher fan who tries to tell me our team is a bunch of goons. Of course I am relieved Wehr wasn't seriously hurt but that still doesn't take away from the fact that we have a Wehrs corner.

Ok. that was a much better look. Pretty good move. Reminds me of Trupp

To be honest I didn't really know what I was watching. I thought at first it was a girls hockey game and you can kind of see the play but not real good. Is there any better video of it other than what was first shown or reported?

ha ha. makes me laugh. I could give you a laundry list of examples too. We are always looking to rename our corners in our builidng after people. Wehrs corner!

Fugstad is big but buckysieve he is just like most gopher players talk big and act big when they have their cadre of teammates around them but seem to turtle when left by themselves. Or they like to take cheapshots. Say what you will about NoDak but at least when we hit you its in front of your face and not while you are down or your back turned.

Absolutely. Until he sets foot on campus nothing is forsure but at face value I am taking it for what its worth.

Looks like he has committed. He has some buddies congratulating him on committing to UND. This is a real big pickup.

Does anyone know of a kid named Brendan Lemieux? Last night I happened to catch a tweet from him to Rocco Grimaldi. He said "Committed to University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux!" @rgrimaldi23" . I am not sure if he was just stating that Rocco was committed or that he, Brendan Lemieux, was committed. Here is the link to his twitter account https://twitter.com/#!/blemieux22

DU wins it in OT. Poor Goofers going downhill.

UM and DU headed to overtime. Minnesota takes bad penalty with a little over 2mins and DU buries the puck to tie it up.

UM 3 DU 3 with seconds left in the 3rd

Amen. Got some help from the officials and our bone headed penalties and we still almost beat them. All i can say is 7>1. They are even lucky to have that 1.

UM 3 DU 2 9:48 left in 3rd

UM 2 DU 2 12:00 in 3rd left

We really need to get the penalties under control. No more CFB either. Lets go boys and lets get 4pts. from Tech.

It is with great sadness that I vote for changing the nickname but I don't want harm to come to UND. I think the biggest disappointment for me is that SR didn't get to vote if they wanted to have the nickname or not. The tribal leaders stonewalled all they could and it is a real shame. Long Live Fighting Sioux.

Wasn't Kristo's a CFB. This was clearly a hit to the head. I am sorry they just aren't the same.
