Changing sigs and avatars is one thing. That has been going on for quite a while to the sites most loyal users and doesn't affect what you actually are posting. But no, I don't believe you about the posts. No reason to change those and it would accomplish nothing unless you are talking about changing something in a quote. That is also a very common message board gag (FYP - fixed your post). I will not ask about it because I'm positive it didn't happen like that and you don't care if I believe you. Besides if it was that long ago I question recalling the details correctly. I'm sorry you feel wronged and are totally within your right to not go back. But don't expect someone like me not to defend against an accusation like that. EDIT: Sorry to everyone else. I'll stop harping on this now. See you in next years NCAAs... if you get far enough to face us again.

Maybe, but what will I do at work without these places? Actually work? Perish the thought. EDIT: The lockout of new users is done only during the NCAA tourney, not during rivalry weeks. This is a standard practice that has been in place for years and widely publicized on the site before it happens.

If that did actually happen, the only thing I could possibly think of is if it was way over the offensive line. Then it might be deleted. I very seriously doubt it was changed. I'd be interested in this as well. Pretty serious charge being made against a message board admin. They lock threads to cool things off, they don't change posts. Details? There are plenty of people who would defend any user if this actually happened. Still not sure I believe you.

Fair enough. Didn't pick up on that. We're not alone in rationalizing after a loss. Look at how many posters think UND would have beaten or at least played better then we did. Easy to do that when there's no way to really know.

That was my whole original point, so of course it was correct. Wow, where have I ever said we were happy about it? Where are you guys getting this? But better to at least have a shot at the title than not at all, and better to bring home some hardware (even if it's not the big one) than none. Why is this so difficult to understand? Ask Michigan fans about that.

Yeah... Miami and CC were really imposing this year too. Oh wait, you didn't win the cup this year.

Again, not falling back on it at all that. Simply pointing it out because the whole banner thing was brought up and it is still an impressive accomplishment. You said that it's okay to be proud of it too, so which is it? We've been there before too. But I will say it is more to fall back on then UND has this year. Clever. I'll give you that one. Even though it was downgraded to a "disturbance" according to the media.

Exactly. We're no SCSU. Conference titles don't mean anything anymore? I thought that was typically what UND did... win the regular season title and flame out in the playoffs. Again, you're welcome for not allowing UND to play in the championship and potentially lose. I was simply responding to the statement MafiaMan made about it being our goal to raise banners. Which we did. I actually said that obviously we wanted to raise a bigger one, but if that was being as a rip on us, it was quite misplaced. I guess everyone seemed to forget about our regular season title.

We still raised a banner. Mission accomplished. EDIT: sort of... obviously we wanted to raise a bigger banner but if that is the criteria, we did do it. Why even take that chance of the seniors not pulling out the big game? Union was riding a huge streak and knocking off top opponents. Too much of a risk for your team to handle a loss. You're welcome for not having to deal with it.

I guess we did you a favor then, so you didn't have to face a red hot Union team and risk losing in an even more high profile game. If that's your story you should be thanking us, not ripping us.

Not sure what you're getting at here. Are you trying to say it's not good to be second place and better to not even have made the final game? How do you get to that point. Rather be second that 4th, so not too tough for me to deal with.

Only thing I took from that post is 2nd place > um.. what place were you again? Any tips for us how to handle losing in big games, since you guys have so much experience in doing so?

You mean like a tube top or something?

This is a big reason why he's so popular. Because you guys hate him so much.

Miami? Having not seem them play much this year I have to wonder how this is possible given this past season.
