There an echo in here?

Meh not gonna agree with you so I'll leave it. I'd like all 4 lines on UND to score goals come tournament time and Sanderson has been doing that lately compared to Simo. Do I think Simo has potential? Sure, but he's gotta show me some production to earn a spot. My takeaway: I hope we have the problem of which players to play come the NCAAs EDIT: Sanderson won the weekly shootout

2 goals in the last 5 games from a 4th liner? I'd definitely call that producing. Especially when the alternative(Simo) hasn't scored a goal since October 23rd...

I think the CBS line should still be ok Seriously though, I think Rhett Gardner came into his own in the last few weeks as a legit secondary scoring threat. Poganski also has shown flashes too with being strong on the puck. So when the CBS line took a few weeks off we found the secondary scoring we'll need to get to #8.

How so?

I think you give St. Clair a bit of a pass based on what we've seen he can bring to the ice and coming off recovering from injury for several months to hit 100%.

I think he does play over Simo at this point. One is producing and the other isn't. I don't know, it's a tough call. We'll see on Friday.

Would you guys be surprised to see Sanderson sit after starting to produce? I kind of would be...

UND Bookstore just released hats, a green and grey one with the Brien logo(neither fitted) and a fitted green hat with the geometric logo. I went with the geometric to match my new sweatshirt.

I think this is a fair comparison, I'll allow it.

When the source is "someone somewhere"? .......No

Huh? Could you be more specific than someone somewhere? And even if that someone somewhere did exaggerate the NCAA's strong-arming, who cares?

I don't understand why it's a big deal that UND wanted to maintain the trademarks on their intellectual property that they own? It has value and just because they are now the Fighting Hawks doesn't mean they should completely stop trying to capitalize on that value.

Yup, you can only refer to the Fighting Hawks. A true fan won't even look at the Sitting Bull Statue or $104 Million arena that is a monument to the Fighting Sioux history. Blow it up and play at Purpur with Fighting Hawk decals because we're true fans.

It's already been stated by the equipment manager(I believe?) that next year the jerseys won't say Fighting Hawks because the order was already submitted to Reebok along with all of the NHL teams. So no, next year's jerseys will not referenced Fighting Hawks.

I thought you were confused as to what the connection with North Dakota and a Warhawk was and I was just stating that we missed that boat a long time ago. As far as a connection from Fighting Hawk to Warhawk, a Warhawk is a plane with the name Hawk in it that is generally used in aerial fights (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, my aviation knowledge is quite shallow). People are looking for something, anything that they can grasp on to that might produce a decent looking logo. If it's stretching the name Fighting Hawk a bit to not become the 43rd bird mascot and hold a little originality, I'm all for it. Also, I don't believe(again correct me if I'm wrong) that the committee ever outlined what each nickname meant, as in stating that a Fighting Hawk had to be an animal.

I just realized the lighting in my picture makes the lettering look pink. I'm not cool enough to rock the pink, it's definitely white.

Just got the last large that was on the rack at UND bookstore, Couldn't pass up apparel with the geometric logo.

I wasn't either until my friend had me try some last year at the FF, now I'm a big fan of Surly Furious.

Wanting limited Sioux inventory = not moving on Thanks for clearing that up

...and they have Surly

That bird looks... special

I know where I'm going for lunch... thanks!

I'm not... that was my assumption originally too. However, a few people on here seemed to have implied that because it's a tournament or because it's Non-Conference that they get 80 minutes.

Aren't we past the part where the nickname has any specific meaning/tie to North Dakota as a state?
