Hahaha I was LITERALLY doing the same thing as you posted this... Zane and Nick Schmaltz. Good stuff there. Also, Tambo with the NYR organization. Thought that was interesting. Must have been the right move for him. Do we talk about him anymore? Lol

Definitely overrated, but still gotta see if he's a true No. 1. Haven't had any luck on that front well, ever, for the WIld lol. I'm a Rangers fan, so I'll be quiet on the goaltender talk

Or the Thunderdome!

Ha!

1. North Dakota (I think no chance, but I hope it stays) 2. Nodaks 3. Roughriders 4. North Stars 5. Any "Hawks" variation. Preferably Thunderhawks 6. Explorers 7. Force (actually growing on me slightly) 8. The rest T-74,987. Spirit, Pride 5,678,651,234,546. Sundogs

Ok

Does that mean there still won't be questions? No. You're going to tell me that you won't have any questions whatsoever on how this all went down after it's done? Just close your eyes and let it happen? Go for it, but I know most won't feel that way. There will be questions and Kelley should be the one to answer them.

Lol really? I needed to clarify I meant the selection process and not the actual nickname? And I'm definitely in that. I'm all done with it, too. Fair enough. Cut bait is fine, I just don't like the lack of accountability that I see him slithering away from.

On and on and on and on. Yup, you're right. You win this argument of opinions. Can we be done now? Good lord.

Man you're good at taking words and spinning them. I no way was I referring to the entire process. "Quickly" in this case, refers to the time following the change of the name to when he's leaving. I want him to stay long enough to answer people's questions about the new name. He's got no accountability here. We're beating a dead horse. You think it's the right time, I don't. I think it's cowardly, you don't. Oh well.

Fair enough. I just think it's BS he's leaving so quickly after changing the name. Like Frozen4Sioux said, no accountability.

Exactly! He's changing the name and absolutely running away.

That's a pretty large majority of the fanbase that will be letting it sink in. Progress won't stop. Not saying it will. I just don't think it's fair to leave any of this to a new president.

Have your opinion and I'll have mine. It's too soon. I don't know what's appropriate, but evidently you do. Relax. It's ok to have dissenting opinions. All I know is that a couple of months is too soon. At least give it a year/sports year to let it sink in a little bit.

And I don't think he should have to clean up the scraps just because Kelley inherited a mess. Finish the clean up. Regardless if he can or can't, he shouldn't have to. It's not the new President's responsibility. Kelley signed on to the mess knowing it was coming.

He's starting with the new nickname being BRAND NEW. At least give it a year... or an athletic season.

Not disagreeing with either of you and I definitely think it's time to go, but I think it's BS that he's leaving the new president residual nickname garbage.

I disagree. Average age of college presidents is in the 60s. I'm sure it has nothing to do with this, right jdub? Dude is running and it's BS.

I don't have enough on my W2... I know there are a couple people to ask around here though

He's still running away from it while a new name will be ripe. It will be a brand new name for a brand new President and I think that's wrong.

So cowardly. Run and hide while the name transition is just starting. Good riddance.

Sounds like Mr. Eichel is learning how to deal with the media very early on in his budding hockey career. I'd like to hear how this question was framed. I just don't see him staying.

I would be absolutely STUNNED .... And frankly, terrified ... If he doesn't sign with Buffalo immediately after the draft.

Me too. Anyone else? Say I.

I am just floored that this garbage discussion came about from that fantastic article.
