SiouxScore

I would think almost all hockey fans know by now that the new banner won't be able to have the Fighting Sioux logo on it and will instead have the ND on it. Anybody who sees the banner and gets pissed about that issue really hasn't been paying attention.

Well that would be a surprise to me. The players sure aren't embracing the no nickname option being gone right now and I guess I really don't see that changing anytime soon.

I'm just saying I don't think the team will really embrace it and the North Dakota script will remain on the front of the uniforms rather than putting a logo on the front. There may be a very small logo on the shoulder or something but I would bet the logo will not be a very prominent part of the uniform. It isn't like it is an uncommon thing to see a teams name on the front of the jersey rather than a logo in hockey anyway.

I'm pretty sure the coaching staff has some input in what style of jerseys they want and I'm willing to bet they will just stay with the North Dakota script jerseys. It isn't like it is uncommon to see hockey jerseys with the name spelled out across the front rather than going with a logo on the front.

I have a hard time believing the hockey team will really ever embrace or use the new nickname/logo no matter what it is. I think they will just stick with the current uniforms they have now and continue to use North Dakota. If they won a title this year I also wouldn't be at all surprised if they made sure to somehow incorporate the Fighting Sioux name/logo in post game celebration especially in the locker room. It was cool this year that we still got to see the Fighting Sioux logo during hockey games as Zane had a patch on his chest protector and you could make it out under his jersey especially the white jerseys pretty easily.

Twins have now lost 3 in a row and with 2 games left with the Angels followed by 3 with the Yankees and 2 with the Pirates they are in a pretty tough stretch of games that could determine whether they really end up being contenders or not before the trade deadline.

I only meant for the poll on here so not like it matters anyway. I do agree with you Sun Dogs is the worst case scenario and if I get a real vote it definitely would not be for that but I'm not sure what it would be for. I wouldn't be at all surprised if when the new logo/nickname are implemented hockey just continues with the North Dakota jersey style and no logo sticker on the side of the helmet.

Always kind of a guess as to when certain guys will come in but looks to me like you have all the current commits listed there.

It isn't anything to make me feel any kind of way or anything I need to think about. I'm sure I won't be the only person who continues to call the teams Fighting Sioux and wear Fighting Sioux stuff rather than get on board with a new nickname either.

Couple reactions I've seen on Twitter not happy about no nickname being eliminated Mike Commodore ‏@commie22 36m36 minutes ago @SchlossmanGF if it can't be Fighting Sioux I don't see what's wrong with keeping University of North Dakota. I liked that. Mike Commodore ‏@commie22 34m34 minutes ago @SchlossmanGF and who is this guy talking about "its time to show courage"? Is he serious? That time passed awhile ago. https://twitter.com/chyz21

That would seem really stupid to see what the public thinks when it isn't an option and then when they see the public likes it were they gonna go back and fix there mistake and make North Dakota an option again?

Since it can't be just North Dakota now I guess I don't care what it ends up and won't vote for any of these nicknames. I will continue to call the teams the Fighting Sioux. I will continue to support the teams especially men's hockey but will not buy any merchandise with the new nickname/logo on it.

Never really thought of Gerlach as much of a risk to go the WHL believe when he committed he had said he was a big fan of Sioux hockey and always dreamed of playing for UND. Not sure how true it actually is but seems to me kids outside our traditional recruiting areas are a lot bigger risk of bolting for the CHL. Gerlach from Texas, Miller from Ohio, Koules from California, and Mantha from Michigan to name some.

Voltin hasn't been a recruit for a while now and I would think the other guys will all come in next year. Cakebread didn't have a good year at all with Fargo last year and if he has the same type of season this year I could see him never ending up on campus.

Twins go into the All Star break at 49-40 good for the 2nd best record in the AL behind Kansas City.

I would be very surprised if he doesn't end up playing at a JUCO somewhere this fall and if he plays well and stays out of trouble there somebody will give him a 2nd chance.

Completely agree, it still isn't an excuse for what he did and he shouldn't have ever reacted that way but I do think she should also face some sort of penalty for her actions.

Not excusing the QB's actions at all as what he did was very wrong and he should have just walked away but did the woman face any punishment in this? It looks to me like she plays a big part in it by threatening to punch Johnson first and then kneeing him in the groin area and punching him when he tries to restrain her. I also see Johnson's lawyer has come out and said the woman provoked Johnson with racial comments as well. I would think Johnson will get another chance probably spend a year at a JUCO and if he plays well many teams will probably be after him again. http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/13215817/deandre-johnson-was-provoked-woman-racial-remarks-lawyer-says

I could see him getting a start in September if the Twins have already been eliminated from playoff contention or maybe coming up if the Twins have a couple starters go on the DL during the 2nd half of the season.

I think we will get a lot more out of Gersich than you think. I see him filling a top 6 role and wouldn't be at all surprised with 10 or so goals. I think the extra year really helped Wilkie a lot and he will have a nice freshman season as well. I expect a better offense this year and this group of freshmen will be a big part of that.

I did the same thing voted over and over for about 5 minutes and I was waiting for the thing to tell me you reached your vote limit for today or something like that but it never did.

Columbus has quickly become the NHL team I dislike the most.

Maybe some guys should just stay off Twitter Michael Russo retweeted Brandon Dubinsky ‏@BDubi17 8h8 hours ago Final thought of the holiday....Mike Reilly made a tough choice ...#werenotincollege #burntbridges #CBJ>#MNW #werule #gopherssuck

Looks like Twins fans will get the chance to see another prospect they've been waiting to see for awhile. Rhett Bollinger ‏@RhettBollinger 13m13 minutes ago Just heard from a well-placed source that Miguel Sano will be getting the call up to the Twins.
