Don Lucia and the Goof-ers will do anything to avoid a Sioux game. Good Grief! ... WCHA teams are dropping like flies. But at the same time, how did we fare last time vs. Yale? Let's not assume anything. Let's move our feet, work hard ((and hope like heck the ESPNU scheduled telecast of a Lacrosse game is over before the puck drops). NBC Sports are ya listening?) Go Sioux !

MIDCO RESPONSE ON QUALITLY OF VIDEO As I too have noticed the the poorer quality of UND video coverage this year, I sent Midco a note from their website and while I didn't like the answer, they were good enough to respond. I'll share it with you. - - - - - - Note to Midco - - - - - - *Topic: General, Comments/Feedback: I am very glad to be able to watch the UND Hockey games, thanks for carrying them. But why are the games broadcast in a narrow video format? It seems to me that in previous years the video was wider and showed more ice. It very much compromises the viewing experience. I just watched your ad for your sports coverage and it was in the wider format and as soon as the game returned we were back to narrow. Thanks again for carrying the games, but please give us the big picture during the game. - - - - - - Midco Response - - - - - - Thank you for the feedback. We are currently broadcasting in standard definition, however we will be upgrading to high definition for the 2013-2014 season. Our games will then be broadcast in the high def format. If you have any further questions please let me know.

It is most unfortunate that it has come to this ... Were I to have a vote, I don't as I now live in South Dakota, I would vote "Yes". I have long believed that the only way to keep the nickname/logo is to let it go, at least for a while ... perhaps a long while. Our brethren of Sioux ancestry would have seen that we would have gotten it back. Too bad some lame-brained Fargo politician, who never attended UND, reopened this can-of-worms with his legislation and snow-balled it right off a cliff. No disrespect to the good folk of Fargo or NDSU for that matter, many lend great support to UND. UND had a great plan that honor the NCAA agreement, but at the same time kept the door open for a return of the nickname/logo.

It's official. Eades will now be grooming USHL players for Hak, from Sioux Falls.

Just use "North Dakota" as was the planbefore the rocket scientists from the ND legislature chimed in. Then let sometime pass, heal the wounds, only then consider a new nickname. Insist that itbe as unique as was
