    No mascot is safe!!!

    Petition Started To Change “Racist Mascot” For LSU

    http://houston.cbslocal.com/2017/05/30/petition-started-to-change-racist-mascot-for-lsu/

    That's a new low I think.  From the article: “It is incredibly insulting for any African American to have to attend to a school that honors confederate [sic] militantism,” the petition reads. “It is already hard enough to be black at LSU, and these symbols must be changed.”

    Umm.....no one HAS to attend LSU.

  2. This was the first relevant thread I came across, so I thought I'd post here.  After the tough Wild loss, today, I was going to put on the title game from 2016 only to find out it was removed from Youtube???  Anyone have any idea why?  The Northeastern game is still up.  I just want to be brought back down memory lane a bit.

    Unless I'm off, I think I should have 28.  I had 25 on 4/20 and got one point each from Crosby, Toews, and Kane last night.

    I like how he tries to bring up the Saints. The reason the Saints are successful is of their cheesy in game promotions and the fact that they want to draw non baseball fans. Although the players and coaches care about winning and losing, the fans could care two S$*%s about the product on the field. He also fails to mention that the Saints offer reasonably priced tickets and food, something the Ralph would never do and I'm not sure how much more reasonable you can get with $1 a ticket.

    Plus, being outside on a nice summer afternoon/evening is a far better proposal to a casual or less than casual sports fan than trekking through a ND winter to sit a cold arena watching a boring sport.

    Esposito shook Toninanto's hand too hard and he crumpled to the ice.  Hope he's OK.

    Not sure if you knew, but Esposito is the nephew of Mark Messier. Just a fun fact I learned today. Can't remember where I heard it though...

    They will also have a lot of the print and TV media establishment in their pocket.  That, along with a social media campaign, worked very effectively against USA Hockey.  Granted, they also had a boycott at their disposal in that dispute, but they still "won" the battle by obfuscating the facts and by playing the gender-equity card.  I wouldn't underestimate the situation.  The propaganda needs to be countered with facts and reality.  

    That's sexist!

  7. From the letter:

    Young girls cannot become what they cannot see. 

    -So how did they become what they are today?  They didn't grow up with UND women's hockey

    How rare is it to be able to turn on your TV every four years and watch Olympic athletes compete that also represent your University?

    -Not all that rare. Parise, Toews, Oshie.....potentially Brock, Jost, Boeser, Schmaltz

    Had several folks come to Bloomington last year saying that Pourhouse sucked.  

    That's ok.  I won't be able to get to Bloomington in time today.  All I need is a drink in my hand, UND hockey on the tv, and Clay Matvick telling me what's going on on that tv.

    Image result for the jerk all i need

    is the NCAA streaming this game? I haven't decided if I'm gonna be bold enough to just bounce from work without telling anyone at 2 PM, so I might just pretend to do stuff for the first period while watching the stream.

    I think it's just on ESPN2 and watchESPN online.

    East coast officials call in favor of our new style of play. Remember we used to be frustrated with the calls when we played a more physical type of mentality. We now are all about controlling the puck first. Do we even really have a true enforcer type of guy?

    Sure seems like Cole Smith has been volunteering himself for that role.

    I still think Lowell is a 1st Rd possibility.  If the Badgers win it could be Denver and Wisconsin and Lowell vs UND.

    Fargo would be killer if it were DU-UW & UND-UMtc.
