[Sioux to the ‘Zoo - UND @ WMU]

I feel like the NCAA tweets out (via its official accounts) photos with the Sioux logo front and center at least once every season.  Hard to tell if it's taunting, resignation, incompetence, or just indifference.

Saw this today:

https://www.learfield.com/2026/02/omaha-athletics-announces-control-services-as-first-ever-jersey-sponsor-for-the-maverick-hockey-program/

"With this announcement, Omaha becomes the first known non-Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) institution to formalize a uniform patch sponsorship, the first in college men's ice hockey and the first within the Division I-AAA subdivision."

NDAHA puts the Bantam AA, A and B1 in Bismarck the same weekend as the State HS Hockey Tournament.  

Holy heck...no GF teams qualified for State in either Bantam A or B1?  What gives there?  All the eggs in the AA basket this year?

Curious if there will be a surge in youth numbers or any sort of future value that can be derived from this. New ice sheets going up all the time. Would be nice to see the US start get some more kids playing over the next 5-10 years.

Almost certainly.  USAH can't buy this kind of publicity.  Came up multiple times today on SiriusXM outlets spanning everything from Howard Stern to the PGA channel.  Darn near everyone is talking about it.  I even saw a social media post yesterday asking about ice availability.  Bauer and CCM stocks are probably a good buy.

I don't watch the morning talk shows, so maybe someone can fill in the details, but the biggest challenge for the media may be striking while the iron is hot with personal appearances, given that the NHL slate resumes almost immediately.  And heaven knows the White House and President are too polarizing for a celebratory meet and greet.

How about a SiouxSports mural at the Ralph?  Could put it somewhere appropriate like the bathroom.

You jest, but frankly, the amount of heart and soul and green blood spilled on these pages over the years has no rival in UND Fandom, save for possibly the name on the building. I think we deserve a dedicated SiouxSports suite, a section, or at least a tasty side-dish at a concession stand.  And a 100-level concourse concession stand at that.

Guess I need to find someone else to be my phone-a-friend.  (I hope that reference isn't too old for her.) 

I'm old and I cannot recall ever not knowing this.  Are schools failing us?  I'm neither a seismologist nor a SoCal resident, but I did watch the original Superman movie a fair bit.  Don't want to judge too harshly; polled my two twenty-something kids (both educated in ND public schools)...only one knew. 

So much for 'common knowledge.' Has the line between trivia and esotery shifted that much?

Gorden-Carroll would be nice to get with Beucker. 

I swear I thought that read Golden Corral. In which case, find some kid named Buffet.  

Then put 'em all on a line during major penalties, for those 'all-you-can-eat' power plays.

Reading this thread reminds me of an old movie....  The World According to Garp.  RIP Robin Williams.  I am trying to recall if Garp rode a bicycle, very ironic if he did. 

Hope you're not sitting in your car in the driveway while scrolling.

Here’s an NIL method that we should employ:

Everybody gets $5000 for NCAA playoff birth.

That's a different type of portal entry, in a different region, and the seeds will definitely be scattered.
