UND plays in the tourney in Fairbanks this season as well if my memory is correct.

I would question anything that is on Hockey Buzz, but it looked good.

I believe he also worked at the Hockey Acad with Karl G.

Union was blessed with a pretty very weak regional. They won't be beating the Eagles this weekend. Your fixation on Schloss is also troublesome, I think he has been more than fair in his coverage of the UND Fighting Sioux hockey program. Brad is probably one of the best in college hockey. You sound like the same guy that logged on under Guest yesterday and wrote this doozey of a comment...

Almost over, it's 4-0 with a few left to go.

I think the Gophers will find out how good B.C. is in two weeks.

Yeah, I think most of us realized that the Nickname was gone and the University was under a tight deadline to get compliant. it was kind all at once. I myself was shocked how fast the nickname and logo disappeared.

I thought they were really close to Adam's ones from his blog and I do like them as well.

I was thinking the same thing myself.

I think they were trying to get compliant with the NCAA so they wouldn't face sanctions. That's the way I looked at it.

They said that the goal was waved off because the goal moved a bit, didn't come off the moorings either. I think it was a Horse Bleep Call. None of us should be surprised.

“Believe it or not it was Coach Hakstol’s idea,” Jayson Hajdu, assistant athletic director at North Dakota and the supervising producer of “Through These Doors,” said, referring to David Hakstol. “He is a fairly traditional, old-school coach as far as access, so it caught me off guard. He saw how popular ’24/7’ was and knew how rabid our fan base is and wanted to try it.” Who would have thought?

I think you're right Ira. None of them were here when the settlement was reached. I also blame the people that worked on the settlement with the NCAA.

Guns up... Good luck in your studies at UND.

P.A. lobbying Hak to get Zach to sign with the Wild.

I don't think some people realize that they are donating money to the University of North Dakota when you buy your season tickets for hockey. I don't see season tickets for hockey suffering and football tickets sales will probably pick up with UND being in the Big Sky Conference.

Good point, I could pick like B.C. and Minnesota...

Region Champ Boston College Region Champ Miami Region Champ North Dakota Region Champ Michigan FF Semi North Dakota FF Semi Miami Champion North Dakota Here is mine, I was a perfect 5-0 predicting the Final Five last weekend so I believe my luck has probably run out.

I was able to confirm that they aren't buying new pants and helmets...

At the Wednesday press conference all of the players were asked about the uniform and it's not going to be a distraction. The guys are focused on the WMU Broncos, that's it, I think they would play in a hoody if they had to.

I didn't apply, asked the Wife if I could go, wife said no... They are floating in a jar next to my wife's side of the bed. I wasn't really planning on going since I was at the Final Five last weekend.

You're right, there are many in the legislature that want the legislature to control the North Dakota Board of Higher Education because they spend too much money. Personally, I don't have a problem with that argument, fine, but they are using the school as a political football to enflame the masses. I am a little leery of Al Carlson because I don't think Carlson give two $#its about UND and since he is a NDSU grad, I don’t think it’s much of a stretch to say that he might be trying to destroy their athletic department in the process as well… .

If you have seen it, it's unbelievable... The guy has never spent a day in the university but is ready to throw UND under the bus to stick it to the NCAA... When the NCAA is the one doing the sticking. We're living with them? Sayanythingblog.com --- According to the anti-nickname activists who have driven this controversy from years now, these NCAA sanctions are a death-knell for UND athletics. Except, now that UND is living with the sanctions, they’re proving to be no such thing. They’re irritating, yes, but if anything the modifications to tournament programs and the special uniforms do more to make the NCAA’s policies look petty and foolish than diminish the reputation of UND. Fans see the uniforms, and they see the programs, and they see the support for the logo/nickname from actual Sioux Indians and they wonder why the NCAA is making such a fuss. They’ve also got to be wondering why North Dakota’s anti-nickname university officials have been making such a fuss about the sanctions. They’re here. We’re living with them. They’re really not a big deal.

Ok, what channel will this be on in Devils Lake, ND?

I saw/read a thread on line where the perps blamed UND and it's our fault for the problem and that they were the ones that were high and mighty.
