You are making the assumption that the new nickname will make everyone move on.. I doubt it will

Thank You

Maybe it's his style or the teams, might be loyalty builder technique.. either way good luck to Paul with whatever decision he makes.

Was Daggers submitted?

Strongly Disagree

If there is time to lean, it is time to clean! Get back to work!

Was is Melrose or Buccigross with the murder of Drakes name? Seemed almost on purpose by my ear. Do you suppose Barry Melrose is aware of the flak he catches on SS.com and lets it taint his broadcasting repertoire, his disdain for college hockey I could see it being like that.

His attitude of entitlement may be the driving force behind the Jinx of the Great Sioux Nation.

did you guys hear something? chirp, chirp, chirp

Boy, that is a glaring fact, other than ND has less hockey tradition

The point I was going for is the killer schedule that the "west" teams have put the team at a disadvantage with regard to have players battling injuries at the end of the year. Another thought was how a team is upset much to surprise of the fans, when BU lost to PC, had BU been so focused on UND that they left nothing in the tank? Not much else for me to think about on this windy afternoon, I hate wish summer gone but I wish it was October.

I was thinking our tough schedule may have beat up a little too much. I suspect Drake and Parks are both playing hurt. need more cupcakes :~

Your kind of missing my point, which may be a direct result of my debating skills. I don't see how UND or the state is funding this "Sioux were silenced campaign" or how it hurts UND or UND sports. The back door to getting the name back is the Sioux tribes, especially Standing Rock wakes up and realizes that they are being discriminated against when they name fades in history.

What about Hrkac, Troy Murray, Jason Blake? just spitballing, I seem to recall some where that great players don't make great coachs, Gretzky vs. that Detroit coach, who I recall play Canadian college, so not calling him a great player may me look the fool, but looking like a fool on an internet forum is all the craze

IMHO, in football and basketball the pace is slower, there are more time outs, there is more coaching input, the fast paced dynamic of hockey leans toward conditioned responses and effort along with recognition (hockey sense) Your thoughts?

It appears former player is a criteria, maybe if you listed other criteria more names can be brought forward, I don't think Hak "needs" to go, but coaching changes do happen... so I see no harm in the discussion of a replacement. I would rather discuss how we as fans can help the program.(overlooking the Ralph Englestad route until I win the lottery) Bashing on Refs: It's fun, It may be accurate, does it make us a target? Bashing the NCAA: Call it the curse of the logo, did a certain ref get assigned because of...

Are 2/3rds the voters of ND connected to the issue? I currently live in SW ND and am outnumbered by NDSO alumni by 10-1. Do you let your neighbors decide the color of your house or name your dog? Wonder how many of the 2/3rds had ulterior motives or just wanted the news story to change?

In reference to you italicized remark, isn't that the lynch pin? Not everyone is as easy to surrender and if RHHIT can be made to believe he has been played the fool by a centuries old enemy, maybe there is a chance. Of course the NC$$ may not respond as it would be hoped as they would have to reverse course and lose face. The cards are definitely stacked against the cause and hopes of even the most die hard fans are waining but some will cherish the name all the way to the grave.

Maybe he just needs you in his corner, instead of the negatives vibes. Did you mentally harass Dean with your backwardian voodoo mind chit? Simple question.

Do you suppose UND looked at UNO as the main combatant UNO looked at UND as the main combatant BU looked at UND as the main combatant PC looked at the next opponent as the main combatant I expect more exciting hockey, some hand wringing, and gfhockey to burn off another 7% of his brain cells.

I actually think the case could be made that Sioux tribe is being minimalized by the Chippeawa's that run the UND Indian Studies program and if the Standing Rock tribe realized that the are actually being played by a centuries old rival there is a small glimmer of hope, of course I also hoped Boston made the playoffs and the Pens went golfing

Isn't most of it a tag line? I may have to go back but I am way behind on several threads
