UNDBIZ

I was weak and decided to submit names I felt the committee (Kelley) was more likely to accept. Flames (UND logo and eternal flame on campus) and Nodaks (just keep the interlocking ND logo, most palatable to those still in denial on the name transition). They will inevitably be turned to Flamers and NoD*cks by our rivals, but any name can and will be.

So if I've been following the process properly, they're saying the committee will choose 3 from the names submitted and then there will be a public vote to decide which of those 3 is the name? If so, the public vote could/likely will be a complete mess.

GPL @GopherPuckLive · 47m47 minutes ago The new Whioux nickname site is up and running! Start submitting gang! http://und.edu/nickname/ Let the dumpster fire commence.

Right, but far less than the full $125k.

I don't think UND even had to pay much for Muss because he got the job with JBSU.

Because he's gfhockey. The man, the myth, the legend.

I agree. My thought wasn't specific to this.

I wish no decisions were made/announced on this day. I just don't trust it.

I went on quite the hunt for my tv remote just the other day.....

There's no chance. It's just on Fetch's wish list because he only likes hockey when the team is named Sioux.

We simply prioritize the actual teams ahead of the teams' nickname.

And your wish is to replace UND hockey with an AHL team? Some fan you are.

Between the men's and women's teams and intramurals, there is not time available. You clearly don't understand how college arenas work. Did you even go to UND? The fact you care more about the nickname than the actual team speaks volumes here.

Perhaps not completely, yet. But UND is contracted as the primary tenant and there certainly isn't ice time available for an AHL franchise.

And why would UND allow them to use the Ralph?

1. It isn't going to happen. 2. If, in some alternative universe, it did happen, they'd need to build a new arena to play in.

Nope. The B1G lost their right to have anyone affiliated with the tourney this year.....

Not transferring? So they're just hanging it up?

Ugh. I'd prefer it was DeRouen.

I remember hearing that by signing right before the lockout he was able to secure a larger signing bonus than he would've been eligible for after the lockout. Not sure if there was truth to it or not though.

I guess we'll have to make this one MoveOn.com.

"Among others" includes being undefeated against UND.....

I'd be happy to know Tyler is staying. An experienced 3-point shooter could be very valuable with Hooker, Seales, and Crandall creating space.

Are DeRouen and Tyler staying now?
