One thing that Gorg obviously did not recognize was how poorly the Gophers defensemen played. Patterson have to make 100 saves in a weekend!!! That is n ot good. Yes Patteron is a good goalie. But you can't expect him to stand on his head every weekend. You can alos not espect to score 5 goals a game either. The Gophers did beat the defending champs at their place, I will give them credit for that. But if you allow 50 shots a night, its gonna be tough to win.

The students at UND ought to be embarrased at their lack of support for the UND football team. There are many games over the last few years where there have literally been 50 students at the game. That is pathetic. We are a Division 1 football team with great football tradition and a great facility to play football in. The fact that the students can't get their butts in the seats to support the team is unexcuseable. I get it that more students are hockey fans than football fans. But UND students will be the first ones to tell you that they are the best hockey fans in the country. That may be true but guess what, you are the worst football fans. If you are a true UND fan you support all sports and make an attempt to see them. Last time I checked, football tickets were free. Doesn't cost you a thing. Get out and support the football team, students That is my point.

I think a great name that UND could use would be the Thunderbirds. Yes I do realize that out new Big Sky rival is also called the Thunderbirds, but I think that it would be appropriate considering it is a mythical being that is in Lakota Sioux folklore. Not sure how the NCAA would respond to a nickname that has native american roots, but it Southern Utah can use it, then I wouold assume we could too. It is a shame if we have to lose the name 'Fighting Sioux." But I think a great way to honor the Sioux people in our new name is to use a figure from their culture. That is what this is all about. Having a name that honors the Sioux nations of our state. Choosing a name that does so would be the best way to go in my opinion.

If you are looking for the best burger joint in town now, JL Beers has deffinitely earned that title. You won't have a better burger anywhere in GF. Oh, and they serve an endless varieties of great beer!! Burgers, beer...what more do you need!!

Mr. Steak became Somebody's Restaurant, which became Toppers, which became 32 Ave Eatery (spinoff of 42nd St Eatery...same owner) then that burned down. Think the guy got charged with insurance fraud for starting the fire. Toppers was awesome. Burger with the seasoned fries and a butterfinger shake......doesn't get any better!!

If the basketball teams outgrows the Betty, they can use the Ralph. NBA teams and NHL teams share arena's, so can college I would think. Just need better risers on the floor. That being said, basketball in the Ralph is only good when the place is packed. 2000 at a game in the Ralph is a horrible atmosphere. Hopefully we can get 9000 or more for the Bison game in January!!

We have black alternates for hockey, basketball, volleyball.....pretty much every other sport. Why not football?!!

CCHA........dead!

The home jerseys are the right color. The problem is the helmets. They are too dark. Look at pics of the helmets from the 80's and 90's. They are more the official school color green (Kelly green) than the ones they have now. Change the helmet color and we will look pretty sharp at home.

I have a hard time believing that.

Can't believe the audacity of Notre Dame. They have had 2 frozen 4 runs recently. Before that what?? Nothing!! Props to the NCHC for not caving to the demands of a school that thinks they are bigger than they actually are.

With all the stories about Sioux hockey players underage drinking at Judy's bar, urinating in an elevator, getting drunk and throwing your roomates stuff in the street, etc., it good to finally see us talking about a UND hockey player about his good morals and strong faith. People in this town, especailly kids, look up to these guys they see on the ice. Glad to see that they have a real stand up guy to look up to.

A long tough road??? Come on. Teams can turn around very quickly. If NDSU was able to turn around a 3-8 season in 2009 to a playoff run in 2010 and now an undefeated record, beating an FBS school, and #5 ranking this year, then certainly other schools can do the same...including UND.

I wish everyone would just stop and see it how it is. When you compare programs, NDSU has obviously had more success. 8 National Championships and more recently 4 wins against FBS teams. Yes UND has had success as well. Many conference titles as well as 1 Championship. So yes, I will conceed that up today NDSU has been more sucessful. But that does not mean that UND will not succeed or eventually be better than NDSU on a year to year basis. Past performances are not neccesarily indicitive of future results. Will UND football ever exceed the tradition, the fan support that NDSU has.....could be tough. But will they will eventually challenge NDSU year in and year out in the polls and maybe even the playoffs and National Championships.....you better believe it.

I am interested

I am very interested in purchasing some of your patches if you are willing. The ones I am looking at are the old Indian head logo in the upper left of your picture, and a couple of the "S" patches with the tomahawks in the lower left corner. If you are willing to sell these, please email me at bradreddig@hotmail.com and let me know what you are asking for these. Thanks Brad
