of the four major sports winning 16 games in the nhl postseason is the toughest accomplishment there is.....sorry phil.

i guess this little fluff piece written by the philly writer rubbed me the wrong way...hak's legacy will not a legendary legacy like the previous couple of coaches bc of the 1000 pound gorilla in the room that the beat writer briefly mentioned in his article....

yet somehow calipari somehow figured it out in 2012 and won the whole damn thing....if hak had one it even in 2005 we wouldn't be having this conversation....much less in 2012 with 11 seniors

so... 4 straight wins in college (highest budget in d1 so you are the big dog) is easier/harder than 16 wins in the postseason aginst dogs that are just as big or bigger (ny rangers, red wings, maple leafs)

was hak hired "to be a good coach" or to win the cup???

i guess im still a little puzzled about them hiring him still...if hak couldn't figure out a way to win four games how the hell do you think he is gonna figure out a way to win 16??? and on top of that he aint going against michigan tech, st lawrence, niagra, or penn state anymore!!

pretty sure that any of the above would have won a national title at und given the same tools and resources hak was given over and 11 year span...

what i'm saying is that some people get a little soft when the money comes rolling in and they get lazy...

pretty sure if someone looked into gino's winning % and the price he paid for his shoes... there was a reason why dark star called gino "the midget from north dakota with 800 dollar shoes"

"'Hak' is a farmer," Jackson said. "I use that term endearingly. It's someone who works their ass off and does everything. He can fix the tractor, he can plant crops, he can harvest, he can deal with whatever to try and adapt and overcome everything. Here, he gets paid very well, but he's not driving a fancy car. He's a simple guy." really? a simple guy living in a 700k house on ivy drive?? get real

the ndac hasn't had to throw that much in the last few years bc of crockett...he's gone and i doubt his replacement is as good as him so maybe they will have to throw and if they do bubba and company are gonna blitz...and although wentz is fast he also a big target for our lb's to hit and hopefully hit hard

OOPS...yeah i meant tyler...talked to coach oliver today and i asked him if he was heading to his interview and he laughed pretty hard...

my sources at first were saying toby palmiscno...don't look like it now

i would have voted for nokotas but not CHARGING nokotas...

amen...one way that REA could save tons of money is reduce the amount of damn ushers at some of these games....the ratio of ushers to fans at some mens bball and womens games is damn crazy...and don't get me started on how many damn cops are needed at a womens game with an attendance of 1500 and 1495 of them are old norwegian men and women...

but the foks over at REA arent talkin....where does all the money go??? good question.

only problem with your above statement is that every other state in the union could name their team the cavalry and mean the 3th volunteer regiment or the 9th regiment or the 10th regiment...it is too generic. but in the end if it chosen i would be all for it...good logo possibilities, somewhat unique, ties to the state...

my top three as well

and yes if und takes roughriders they should ask the city to rename the school the "roosevelts or the teddy's"...wouldn't cost too much to change and both high schools in town are talk about the old days of the redskins/roughriders...

what does cavalry have to do with north dakota? and two word combos of a color/region and a idea/thing/noun are odd and a dime a dozen--- green hawks green wave green force mean green red wolves red storm red hogs red dragons red foxes blue hose blue hawks blue rebels blue raiders blue streaks tundra hawks prairie storm prairie wolves purple raiders purple eagles purple knights arctic foxes valley dragons golden flashes golden lions golden bobcats thunder wolves prairie stars..... game show time...match up more than three of the above names with their respective schools...i follow sports as much as anyone on here and i would have a hard time doing that.. sooners gamecocks tar heels gators buffalos jayhawks longhorns razorbacks volunteers hoosiers hawkeyes game show time..match up more than three of the above names with their respective schools now roughriders/nokotas would be easily recognizable as unique to und...especially is given time and a cool/marketable logo...

what boggles me is that everyone i talk to about this says they like roughriders and nokotas the best (same with me) but i have not found one person that says "i like big green, green hawks, green pride, green sundogs, pride, flames, force, or any other stupid ass nicknames being thrown about? where are these people...oh yeah...fargo...a place i don't go to that often. nokotas-no one else has it...original and has a meaning roughriders-state nickname...run with it

assuming that und's new nickname is somewhere on this list then?

yes on all the previous but just being a gf residence doesn't mean you should get a vote imo

de rouen was at planet fitness tonight working out...i'm assuming he is staying?
