I was just helping the thread degrade more, I figured you said it tongue in cheek.

Marvins pays the coach(s) of the Hockey team and then they find a job for the parents of potential recruits. Its even better than college recruiting. I remember it was like that with Wyatt Smith. They have done this for years. I suppose it will be harder for them to lure Thief River Falls kids with the awesome arena.

That is reasonable.

Thats because people haven't gotten fed up enough to tell these leftist hand wringing Nazis/P.C.ers to go to HE double hockey sticks.

I probably would stike Foyt off the list. I can't see him playing on next years team.

We will just tell this moron that name isn't going any where. The name is bigger than this guy. True UND Alumni can not let these people take our proud name away from us.

Scott, that is exactly the problem with our hypersensitive society. Oh were offended. Yikes the Devils name offends some people. My advice to them is get over your self, the name is bigger than you. Today everyone has thin skins and gets offended immediately, I am personally sick and tired of them. We have all these hyper sensitive bravo males like Al Gore trying to play to the shrills. Yikes. It's a shake down. That is what Hired Gun Russell Means was doing when he came to UND to speak out about the name. Its about further their cause. He made money to come here and pontificate about the UND Fighting Sioux name then off he went to the next pay check. This is a perfect example of what will happen to our country if we let liberalism go unchecked. Here is the problem with the pro-name change P.C. Nazis. There is not a ground swell of support for the name to be changed, however, a few of these weenies expect us to just conform to their whims and expect UND to just change the name because it offends them. Expect the Next UND president to be ambushed by this crowd the minute we get a new president sworn in. We will hear a bunch of buzz words like racist, Nazis, and how UND sold its soul to get a hockey arena and all their other half truths.

I think that our goaltenders better be ready to play next fall. We will have the offense but I think we might be winning 4-3, 5-3 and 5-4. Because we have what I call offensive defensemen. IF we keep Greene it won't be so back. Greene can counter act the offensive defensemen.

No I know I was just fishing to see if anyone knew for sure if Radke was coming back. I remember some say he might not come back next season.

Bryan never made it higher than Milwaukee. From reading the web page for the team he has had trouble sticking with them too.

My question to you is why on earth would they hire a person to get rid of the name? Then turn around and have the board step in and make the decision for him? I think that mingling with the students would be a major part of his job. Your right UND is here for the students. All of them not just the vocal minority that here to forward there agenda. However, like or not sports is a big part of UND. Its put UND on the map. In my job I have come into contact with him from time to time and he just doesn't have a people type person mentality. Or he comes off as unengaging. Chuck is kind of blah. Baker had his faults but he was out there with the students. I am sure its tough to fill Clifford's shoes, maybe UND will never find someone that has the people skills I believe is also part of the job.

Don't forget that Ducktober and UND hockey season are only about 5 months off too.

Don't forget that Ducktober and UND hockey season are only about 41/2 to 5 months off too.

As an Alumni, I think Cup Cake is an empty suit. I also believe that Cup Cakes , usefulness to UND has come to an end. Really think the UND alumni should think hard about this man and what he has done to this great university. On his resume It should say: During my tenure UND I almost single handedly destroyed/screwed up UND. During my watch UND has lost many a great UND professors. During my watch the price of tuition has gone up twice in the past two years. During my tenure I almost caused UND to lose a 100 million dollar gift due to my stupidity. I actually almost caused UND to not get the new REA. This is due to his great idea that some how he had to the power to change the UND fighting Sioux name. Chuck almost bowed to the pressure of a no power weilding small interest group. I still don't to this day know how one who is suppose to be this smart jeordizes losing a 100 million dollar gift to please 25-100 people on campus. It is not smart economics. Thankfully Ralph Called him on it. The main defining moment of his tenure is really how this dimwit liberal professor flirted with the Idea of changing the UND Fighting Sioux name. I was once told that if Cup Cake had actually gone throught and changed the Figthing Sioux name his head would have rolled so fast it wouldnt have been funny. Apparently there was a prominant alumni from the Bismarch area that would have gotten the ball moving. Now we have a chance to get rid of him. I say great, this is an awesome opportunity.

Why would Buffalo want him to sign now. In my HMO he isn't even close to playing in the NHL.

Thats the kind of goals UND needs. In close crash the net. The kid will probably gladly fill that role. Lee Goren was like that too.

I have a feeling some of these kids won't be here long either if tradition of getting the best players seems to keep playing out. I really don't mind Fabian gutting out a few 10-15 ugly goals a season. A goal is a goal and the kid impressed me with his effort this past season.

You know I am getting sick and tired of watching these kids leave early. I remember when the older Lundbohm left early and look where it got him. Oh, well thats what happens when your a top program. Oh course there are many kids that will take their place.

Radkey wears 26, so unless you know something I don't, which is possible, I say they will have to pick new numbers.

Why would Ferris leave the CCHA for CHA? Could anyone even give us a reason why that is an attractive option? I suppose they would be the auto bid every season?

The truth is no one wants to be in the CHA. I can see the CHA going away and the other league's strong armed into absorbing the 5 remaining teams, probably the ACHA. I mean really why would you join the CHA, so you can play Wayne, Niagra, RMU, and UAH in hockey. None of those teams are a big draw.

The SCCC player blasted our goalie and the refs failed to make the correct call. This should not have been a goal and should have resulted in a penalty. I was ready to bull rush the ice after that botched call.

I just think UND is rushing the kid. Besides we have more than enough talent to finish year with, without rushing a kid up to the WCHA. Its not like he played for Shattacks were they play 80 games against tougher competition...
