Goon

The term reality is that Hak could get the same salary in another job as well, don't kid yourself, so I don't think we can discount what Sicatoka said.

What are you basing this on? You don't know that...

I think we are in agreement aren't we? Who is to say that Sac State wouldn't vote with the rest of their members... Weren't some of their fans the ones that were complaining about adding UND to the mix anyways?

That's a pretty silly comment... What am I not happy about? There is hockey this weekend, I have Saturday and Sunday off and the spring is almost here... You drinking at 08:00 am?

First thing that I thought about when I listened to that podcast. I wouldn't trust Wanless as far as I could throw him... I wouldn't count on him to be the ace in the hole for UND either.

I don't believe that for a minute because Hakstol can coach just about any where he wants pretty much. There are a lot of college hockey and professional teams that would take his services so I don't believe the hype on this one.

That was the same way that I went as well...

Don't see it happening either.

Denial isn't just a river in Egypt

I really like this answer from the aritcle...

I guess they forget the part where Al Carlson was slapped by the NCAA and told no dice.

First off I love the Fighting Sioux nickname but there is no way to continue to use the nickname without damaging the UND sports programs that is a fact. UND will no longer be able to play UMN and UW in hockey or any sports. That means that UND fans will no longer be able to watch UND take the UMN hockey team to the woodshed. Here is the latest miss information. Wow!!! I think I would rather trust Tim O'Keefe and Dave Hakstol more on the nickname issue than a self professed, self congratulatory blogger that is wadding into an area he has no clue on. First none of these guys have interviewed the BSC Presidents from what I can gather... They have no clue what could happen if UND keeps the name... Maybe he should stick to commenting on the Heitkamp and Berg Election. I have a hard time believing that the A.D. of UND Brian Faison is going to mislead people on the Fighting Sioux nickname. Also, the S.L. Lawsuit against the NCAA is the best way for this to end well. All other ways are not going to end well, the NCAA is not going to change their minds. I am on record as saying that I will help raise funds for this lawsuit if they want. I fully support them. The Petition process will do nothing but hurt the University of North Dakota.

Oh, No! S.A.B. is all knowing, they have the pulse of North Dakota... I think they're dead wrong on this issue...

It's time for our favorite team to sack up, to quote Kristo and get the win.

That's not even close to being true.

I will bet any money you will be on his bandwagon when he wins an NCAA title.

So that's where Rob has gotten this from

You realize that the coaches were told to not comment on the nickname, Hak mentioned that today in the press conference.

Why am I having a fit right now? I was ready to move on a while ago... I like the name but it's the Red Herring in the room right now.

I am sorry I used you an an example...

You said cue goon, 3, 2, 1... I figured you were singling me out. I just don't think it's fair to blame the hockey coach for this...There are a whole bunch of people that share the blame in this mess... I am not your enemy, I don't have anything against you, I don't know you to be honest with you...

I think he has been unfairly attacked as of late.

I have exceeded my cred or I would give you a 1+.

You attacked me... I am not for retaining the name... I don't think it's fair to blame hockey fans for this folly. I didn't sign the petition.
