no dumb *$$ I understand that UND will be hurt if it keeps the name, I love the Fighting Sioux nickname but I don't want the school to suffer. That's hardly hypocritical.

I love the idea of a having a AAA Midget team in town and I can't wait to see them play. I think high school hockey in North Dakota has really fallen off and this season's North Dakota High School Hockey tourney was some of the worst High School hockey I have seen in a long time. I don't know if it's because the ND teams are losing the best talent in the state to the Jr Ranks or not?

That was a hatchet job. I think this Midget team could be a good recruiting tool for UND hockey and a good way to recruit players.

Don't worry, I am going to cancel DaveK's vote out. You can count on that.

Rob Port keeps telling us that the Big Sky Conference is bluffing. Has to be true right?

I would say that most of us that donate to the Fighting Sioux booster would probably qualify as a booster.

Mario was a good captain that had the respect of his teammates.

That was the just of the email I read this past week that I have since deleted by accident.

Actually, according to the UND compliance office, apparently it's illegal to tweet recruits about where they want to go? Someone already inquired about this earlier this week and I saw the email about this.

Maybe DaveK can get stop and go to sponser a AHL team?

I don't think so, fans will still come to the games.

I wouldn't go across the street to see Detroit play hockey, they are boring hockey team to watch play. Half the guys on their team have name that most of us have a hard time spelling and pronouncing. Sorry to my buddy Redwing77. I don't see Weber getting run by Detroit... Also, Zetterberg hit Weber from behind earlier in the game. Of course no one has posted video of that.

Go ahead and turn your tickets in because someone else will use them.

I agree I don't see us losing high profile recruits to a program that finshed 11th place in the WCHA last season, but also it's a step down, playing for a storied program to one that has floundered. Besides there is one more season before UND is in the new NCHC and the Mavericks are going to be in the nWCHA. I don't see it happening. I wouldn't spend a lot of time worrying about it.

I agree you're leaving a high profile program for one with no history.

Ah come on, I won't give you too tough of a time.

Maybe so but I am all for him getting resigned by the Goofs.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I thought when I saw the schedule.

I do know one thing, College Hockey makes a lot of money for the University of North Dakota...

Really Skippy, Not even close, you sound like some of the people on S.A.B. that said Hakstol changed his mind because he didn't have a contract.

Bingo...

How is it a flip flop, the state reps had the vote in the legislature Al Carlson and the ND Delegation went to the NCAA said they're not budging, time to move on? Are you going to say that Hakstol et al also flip flopped on the nickname as well? Many of us support the nickname but have seen information that leads us to believe that this nickname is going to drag the university down… Unlike some that are putting out fallacious information, saying that the NCAA and the Big Sky is bluffing, I don’t think they’re bluffing at all.

After reading Dave's posts, I felt like drinking something other than coffee.

no not me...

I don't know any UND/Sioux fans that envy them, most fans I know hate them.
