Fargo U, FU, Moo U, Ag College, NDAC, and Jan Brady U are all aliases for NDSU. (I am sure there are more). They can be used interchangeably.

I understand their concerns. I agree that the "perks" that are given to the mens national team should also be given to the women's team. Allowing guests to travel to games, flying first class, etc. That's all USA hockey has to do. In regards to compensation, they just need to match what the mens team is making (which I think is fairly close to what the women make, but again no one is asking that question). The women essentially want USA hockey to be their employer and offer them pay and benefits. Problem is, USA hockey is not an employer for hockey players. And they have stated that.

Could you imagine if the team went through with the boycott and the replacement players went on to win the World Championships?!!

What is he supposed to do? Assume that the program is going to be cut and just sit and do nothing? When you are a job and you are hearing rumors that they are cutting your department, do you stay home from work? No, you go to work like usual until something gets announced. I doubt Idalski or any of the coaches know what Kennedy is going to announce. So until then, go about your business like usual.

Yeah, that worked out real well for them didn't it!!

I get your passion. I was there with you. But when it came to a point where keeping the name was going to hurt UND athletics (not hosting playoff games, conference affiliation, non conference teams not scheduling us, etc) then I accepted reality and had no other choice but to get on board with UND dropping the Fighting Sioux name. Yes, the nickname process for selecting a new one was a gong show. But it is what it is. And I am glad it is over. The Fighting Hawks is our name and the logo is here to stay. If you don't like it, that's fine. You have the right to your opinion. But just be prepared to get used to it if you live in Grand Forks. The Fighting Hawks name and logo are the official name and symbol of UND. And they should not be afraid to use it. And you don't need to be afraid to accept it.

Don't even think about starting a hockey gameday thread unless you are prepared to feel the wrath of AZSIOUX!!!

This thread is always the best and worst thread to click on throughout the day!!

Call me sexist, but I would rather win a conference title in football and the MBB team make the tournament than the WHKY team winning a National Championship is hockey. I am sure I am not alone.

Starting!!!

Lucky enough to be at the game today!! Boeser wearing #6!!

I get the reason they wanted to put UND v BU as the first game to get a big crowd showcased on ESPN2. But looking at the UMD/Ohio St game.....yikes!! They should try to put the host team in the second game if the make it as much as possibly to avoid crowds like this......

Win the next 5 minutes and get a goal. Then do the same thing the last 5 minutes!!

Games not over yet!! This team has a lot of fight in them. They scored 2 in 5 minutes. So can we!!

When the league went on strike and the Sentinels needed a quarterback, did Shane Falco turn down the opportunity? Hell no!!! And neither should these girls!!

Defensemen playing inspired without Tucker. Looking good so far. Keep it up!!

I guess Berry thought it would be best to rest Tucker for a couple weeks before the semi final game in Chicago!!

If UND WHKY was consistently winning conference/tournament championships and making trips to the NCAA tournament, you could at least make a case for them. But 0 regular season or conference tournament championships and 2 NCAA tournament appearances in 13 years (0 wins) is definitely not justifying taking a 1.5 million dollar hit every year to keep the program around.

If we score the first 2 goals, it's over. Crowd is gonna be delusional!!!

There may not be a lot of people wearing the scarlet and gray at Scheels Arena tonight, but there will definitely be plenty ofBuckeye fans in the crowd cheering them on!!

11 years ago today!! Seems like just yesterday. Still doesn't get old watching this clip!! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X1_x1oo35L0

"Sioux forever" chants = "Divided Forever" fanbase.

In a way we are both right. The geometric logo was the official logo from 1976-2001, The Blackhawk logo was used for hockey from 1964-1993. So while the hcokey team won 5 championships when the geometric logo was the official logo for UND, they won those other 3 while wearing the Blackhawk logo.

Actually, If you want to get technical, the hockey team only won 2 titles with the geometric logo (1997, and 2000). 1980, 1982, and 1987 were won with the Blackhawk logo.

If UMD fans aren't calling in to get tickets, it's not our fault that UND fans are calling to buy them. Selling tickets to UND fans is better than releasing them back to Scheels arena and not making money!!
