Stick with the Dagger! It obviously works for the Hawks, and besides, the players chose it! Go Sioux and Go Hawks!

Everything I've heard from back home points towards the new arena NOT being ice capable. Besides, Nebraska has a hockey team up at UNO. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see a team there, but you'd run into Title IX issues, which team do you cut to add hockey? On the Big Ten front, the idea is definitely growing on Husker fans, me included. The obvious money bonus is big, but also some very epic games (though I'm sure the shine would come off eventually). The only team I'd really miss from the Big XII is Oklahoma, we've never really had a true rival since the yearly Nebraska v. Oklahoma game ended. Osborne warned everyone at the formation of the Big XII that the Texas teams would ruin it. Texas has ruined every conference it's been in, and the same is happening to the Big XII. Oh well, on to the Big Ten I say, and a parting butt-whooping of Texas this year to rub it in.
