I wish I lived a life where I could shell out $150 for a hockey puck that is going to sit on on my shelf and collect dust!!

They will be in the Pacific. Makes the most sense. Now just need to add a team to the Central to even everything up. But that doesn't mean that a new expansion team will be in the Central Division footprint. If Quebec City gets a team back, they could send the Red Wings back to the West and even things out by puting them in the Central. Will be interesting to see when team #32 is added to the NHL. Will probably be sooner than we think.

Just beat out Sundogs!!

It's 2016. When the new logo comes out...EVERYONE that is associated with UND one way or the other will know what the new logo is pretty quick. You are not disenfranchising the students by releasing it when the majority of them are on break. Release it on 6/30, begin the marketing process for the 2016/2017 school year, and get merchandise ordered so it is here when the students check into the dorms and when the ball is kicked at the football home opener.

I do think that the students will eventually come back to supporting this program better than they currently are. I like your 1st idea, but I propose this slight tweek to it. Keep the student section reserved for students until 30 minutes before kickoff. After that, it becomes general admission. No need to have people sit in the endzone when there are seats 20 roes up at the 50 yard line that are available!! If the students won't sit there, give someone else that actually is there to support the program the ability to sit in better seats.

I disagree with a lot of what he is predicting as well. It's not like everyone that posts here is 100% agreeing with him. But the fact that you two Bison trolls come on this thread and reply to every post from SiouxVolley is a little bit crazy. I mean, how many times do you have to post that you disagree with him!! We all know how you feel. But if you want to post on a fan site about a school you don't cheer for, abot a conference your teams don't even play in, about a topic that you think is rediculous, about a person that you disagree with all the time....you have every right to do so. Seems a little ridiculous!!

Who is going to start the petition to get Melrose replaced by Starman?!! Would be nice to have a commentator that has actually watched more than 5 minutes of highlights of the college hockey season call the biggest games of the year!!

Your obsession over SiouxVolley is pretty humorous. Or sad. Maybe its both.

Went to undsports.com and noticed a new tag line that they apparently have adopted. I think it is a phrase that all UND fans should rally around...

On paper beofre the season, Minnesota has much much more

Mods, isn't there rules against posting offensive material? Definitely grounds for a lifetime ban!!

Never fully understood the relationship. I realize the MVFC is mad up of Missouri Valley and Summit schools. But is that the only relationship? Are they inder the umbrella of the Missouri Valley or just their own football conference and the only tie they have to the Missouri Valley is by name only.

So let me get this straight. A conference is not going to let a member school play in its own conference? Sure they may be only there for a few years. But can a conference actually do that? I realize that the MVFC is a little different since it is a hybrid of MV and Summit schools. But still seems odd.

yeah. This ain't happening. sorry.

Sure is!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryland_Eastern_Shore_Hawks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_college_sports_team_nicknames

"Scorin a Goren" - Scoring a goal through the 5-hole of the goalie and the defensemen.

But we are the only one that is "fighting" So it's unique!!

The process they initially lad out was fine. Unfortunately the committee completely ignored the criteria that they laid out at the beginning. a name that represented the state of North Dakota specifically and being unique.

Nokota was the original name I submitted in that part of the process. "Charging Nokota made it through a few cuts, but was cut for the above idiotic reason mentioned above. Sad that a word that sounds like a native american name is deemed offensive to the ultra sensitive, PC crowd. Nokota met every criteria initially laid out by the nickname committee, specifically being unique and having "North Dakota" roots to it.

Grey may be not an official school color, but it is used in the logo sometimes!!

Will all that info eventually be subject to ND public records laws? On one hand it is a private firms records, but on the other hand it was for a public institution in ND.

Let me just start out that I was not a fan of Fighting Hawks as the new nickname. I voted for Roughriders. Fighting Hawks isn't horrible, but it definitely has a long ways to go before people will embrace it fully. One thing that is making it hard for the new name to take off (no pun intended) is the lack of a logo. A symbol that brings it all together. With the Fighting Sioux name, we had that symbol. No matter where you were, you recognized the Sioux logo and knew that it represented UND. Now obviously SME has a difficult task of making a generic bird logo a symbol that is unique and specifically associated with UND. Looking at their past projects, the do develop some real good logos. I, like everyone else, is on the edge of me seat in anticipation of the release of the new logo. No matter what it looks like, it is going to be met with opposition. Much like the name. But when both are paired together and UND once again has a name and logo that teams, students, fans, etc can unit under, it will help the moving forward process of the era of Fighting Hawks sports here at UND.

Schloss put out his list of sites he wants the Frozen Four at. http://undhockey.areavoices.com/?p=103256 He mentioned the Barclays Center. Yeah, not a verry good choice unless you like views like these......

I like this idea. The people that want to be there early to tailgate, will be there when the gates open, or even before. Let the people that want to be there to tailgate for several hours all be together instead of all spread out. If you have a tailgate spot and can't make it one week to tailgate, that;s fine. You still get your spot. But it will be in the back of the tailgate lot. You can come late, still have a spot, and you will be parked towards the back so you have an easier time getting out. Plus, the people that are tailgating for several hours and are diehard tailgaters can all be together close to the Alerus. Sounds like a win win win win win situation to me!!
