NORTH DAKOTA vs. Northeastern // Mich vs. Notre Dame
UND1983 replied to AZSIOUX's topic in Men's Hockey
Notre Dame is going to fly to Cincinnati? -
Already worked out at UM Pro Day. Thanks for the NDSU update, though.

Maybe they can harness the power of the bulletin board this year. -

I have no problem with what you said above as it was obviously well written and nostalgic, etc. They do want nothing more than to win or they wouldn't be on the team. But, we read this same post every year, either before east coast team 'X' beats UND or after. Regular season wins are great and its fun getting drunk at the Ralph with friends and family watching UND win another game. UND has a great program and a loyal fan base. However, at what point does the team start to play for the current hockey program, the University of North Dakota, the current fans and current teammates, and stop trying to harness the "power of the Sioux name and it's history"? It is quite apparent that the old nickname hasn't done much for them lately other than beat teams they should have and always have beaten. People keep referencing the old nickname and how much it means to the program. The results don't show it making much of a difference and it's gone now so why keep using it as a source of inspiration - either the team or fans? Honoring it and recognizing the past through media is one thing (and great), obsessing over it and keeping it front and center is another. Time to live in the now and focus on the now. They are the #1 seed and are playing a hot team. Playing "Sioux hockey" (whatever that means these days) doesn't mean squat. With all that being said, I want nothing more than for them to win a national championship. I have been a UND fan for 35+ years and have seen a lot of winning (and losing). So I apologize for coming off negatively cause I am not against any UND team, ever. -
I only got audio and black screen through my phone. Anyone else?
-
I'll take that as you know I'm right since you resorted to unrelated junk.
-
Does Denver need to win today for any seeding purposes or are they a #2-3 anyway?
-
What was that about the Summit being better than the MVC this year? #butrpi?
-
No angle. I am asking cause he doesn't look the part. Maybe he is fine, just asking.
-
Is Shaw good enough to play at UND, at this level? Just doesn't seem to fit in out there for some reason. Asking honestly cause I don't know.
-
It leaves everybody uneasy based on history. If they lose tomorrow could it cost them the Minneapolis Regional #1 seed? Meaning they get sent east...
-
More like the unsilent minority who have seen this show before. Hopefully, the producer changes the ending.
-
Worst 6 on 5 ever. They got more shots than UND did.
-
-
Is that this years excuse? Sounds good I guess.
-
UND has serious, chronic "Semi-Final" issues.
-
Is this for real or are you trying to get us going?
-
And as I tend to do, spoke too early and was wrong. Apologies to ladies. Finish it off!
-
Nothing like the AD investing in hoops, like we all ask for, and then they both lose at home. This game should be winnable.
-
There was more than 1,200 there. Is this one of those deals like NCAA football playoffs where you want to under report? But since its a bid deal I don't know why that would be.
-
A classic I read was where, "NDSU suspended Dupree for 6 games". No, he quit on the team for four games, came back, and was suspended for two, then was put in vs. IPFW due to injury. Guess what he did and teaching him a lesson wasn't as important as needing him vs. the Dons.

Didn't the REA have something to do with the actual money being used for the bid? If so they would keep all concession revenue as well.
