"NDSU students had a seating capacity of about 4,000. Generally, students have filled those seats early in the season, but attendance has waned later in October and November."

Also outside the Ralph. 15 hockey sticks in honor of the 15 who died.

We all know that we have our attendance issues for football, especially with the students. But this is just another example that shows that no school, even one that has won 6 of the past National Championships, is immune from declining attendance. NDSU reduces student seats, adds more season tickets for football games http://www.inforum.com/sports/4430092-ndsu-reduces-student-seats-adds-more-season-tickets-football-games

So 2 is literally the bare minimum quantity of what could be considered a "pile". 8>2

um...No. I don't have multiple usernames. Sorry.

Wondering if the Gophers had any interest in Sandelin? Or was the UND alum issue just too much to overcome. Hard to argue that he wouldn't have been a better hire than Motzko!

Alright, calm down. The one thing that Darell and I (and others) are just trying to point out is that all other athletic programs have embraced the new nickname and logo while the hockey program (as well as many of its fanbase they cheer for hockey and no other sport) seem to be less as enthusiastic.

Pic or it never happened!

There are many examples of other UND coaches wearing the Fighting Hawks logo. Do they wear it all the time, no. But more often than not. I have yet to see Berry wear anything with the Fighting Hawks logo on it. If he has, great. But I challenge anyone to prove me wrong with a pic. I'll wait patiently.

I can picture it.....

Bigger question, will the new mascot be allowed to set foot in the Ralph?!!

All good bro. Not coming out of your pocket!!

The Ralph has been the established safe space for all Sioux-nowflakes since 2012

Helmet stickers on football helmets....OK. Helmet stickers on hockey helmets....dumb.

In the Big 10, hockey takes a back seat to football and basketball. But that doesn't mean the conference is not strong. The BTHC will battle the NCHC for the best conference in college hockey year in and year out. This year, it was better. 3rd rate or not, the BTHC is not the laughing stock anymore.

Thanks for the lesson on supply and demand. Appreciate it. Also, notify me next time you buy a jersey so I can update my Sioux jersey demand chart!! Wow. relax dude. Sorry for triggering you!! The demand for Sioux jerseys, believe it or not, will decrease more and more. Especially by the students. Soon there will be UND students who weren't even alive when UND was the Fighting Sioux. They won;t have any real connection to the old name and logo except from what their parents have exposed them to. I am not here claiming that people shouldn't want to bu authentic Sioux jerseys. That's fine. My initial point was me observing the demand for Sioux jerseys now. I guess I should have bought like 100 jerseys 10 years ago. Would be making a killing today!!

I always find it interesting that you see people here posting all the time looking for authentic Sioux jerseys that aren't cheap knockoffs from China. My question is, where were these people from 2005-2012?!! There were thousands of jerseys at Scheels, the Siouxshop, etc during that time. Even though it still wasn't a for sure thing were dropping the name until summer of 2012, there was still a good amount of time that stores will selling these jerseys. I bought one in 2011 at the Sioux Shop just to have one before they were out. Nor sure why others didn't do the same. If you can't find an authentic Sioux jersey, I have a great idea for you. Go to the Sioux Shop or Scheels and grab one of the new ones they have for sale!

If you are offended by the Dakota Student article, you are probably offended that the University changed the name in the first place, even though there were irrefutable consequences to keeping it. Yes, this article was a joke. But it reminds us all that there are those out there that are clinging on to a glimmer of hope that the Sioux name would come back.

Does it help in the "moving on" process of letting go of the old nickname and accepting the new one? Well, doesn't really help it. but it certainly isn't going to change the mind of people that aren't gonna move on anyway. That being said, if you actually believed that this Dakota Student article had any truth to it (Especially considering the publish date) you my friend are an idiot!!

Let’s go Ramblers!!

Nice thread resurection...Moser!!1 Welcome to sports and life in general. Sometimes things go great, other times, not so well. Chin up. It will be good again soon!!

Loyala-Chicago (and Carson Shanks) are going to the Final Four!! Shanks was in there for the final 30 seconds and was on the court when they won. Unreal run by the Ramblers!

Brad E. Schlossman@SchlossmanGF A UND fan who is no longer going to regionals had the great idea of sending his tickets to Sioux Falls Big Brothers and Big Sisters. If you want to do the same, email JamiG@bbbsse.org. 2:32 PM - Mar 22, 2018

I guess I don't have to feel guilty for not picking UND to win it all again this year!!

Need to tweet this to Schloss or UND so they can retweet it out there. Great opportunity for UNd fans to show their generosity and help out a great cause!! Well done!
