Congrats to Zach on his first goal !!!!

I haven't really heard this as an argument from anyone. It would be interesting to hear an estimate of what it would cost UND in general to change or drop the name. I'm not making the case to keep the name to save money, but it will take a lot of money to do so.

That link isn't working for me.

Do you know what goes on in the locker rooms? Or when these guys hang out with each other? There are a lot of things that weigh on a player's mind when making his decision on the captains. Obviously, leadership qualities on the ice are key, but off the ice qualities also play a factor.

I agree with you MafiaMan, but you also have to realize that there are a lot of people in this state who have voted for Conrad/Dorgan/Pomeroy who also support the name.

Yes it is in the print version.

It is really hard to believe that it took them that long to weigh in on this matter.

Congratulations

That is what I was thinking also. Who cares

I felt the same way after leaving the game yesterday. There were times when the Spirko line was really dominating in the offensive zone and it was a lot of fun to watch.

Congrats to Dale and the whole Fighting Sioux Football Community. He is a very good coach and signing him to lead this team into the future is a great thing.

I really don't want to get into this either, but some member schools of the WCHA have had their share of "homer" reporters in the past.

Great points MafiaMan. I loved the sentence of "the face is it's offensive and it's wrong." I'm so glad they know that is a fact.

That is a story on their website, doesn't reflect what will show up in tomorrow's paper.

You would think that they would have read the release from the NCAA and realized that UND will keep the West Regional. It made me laugh, how they ended the editorial by asking the question, "How about moving it to St. Paul?"

Yeah, that is almost believable.

Great post, always interesting to read many perspectives on this issue. The Tundra??:blush:?

I would like that, we need someone to be able to step right in and fill Prpich's role when he leaves.

I don't think he meant it like that at all. There are a lot of hockey programs who do not get near the recruits that teams like North Dakota and Minnesota do, year after year, the fans of the other teams are not sitting and home crying, but we should feel fortunate here because we get so many good players each year.

Listening to Mac Talk on KNOX this morning, he had Mike Prpich and Travis Zajac. When asked if his brother (Darcy) could play, Travis said, "He can, but he is a different type of player, He is a fighter and a dirty player." A pretty honest assessment from one brother about the other one.

Yeah right, that would be like telling Lucy Ganje to concentrate on her job, which is teaching.

I know it is still a couple of days away and the game is only an exhibition, but I'm getting pumped to see some of the "newbies" on the team. I will always remember the Sioux fans getting introduced to Zach Parise and the skills he brought to the game in his first game against Manitoba. He one-timed a pass from the circle and top-shelfed it to score a goal. The game might not mean anything in statistics, but it will be a good time.

I would like to know who that is also, because I don't know anyone who is.
