    For those in Grand Forks wanting to greet the team coming home at the airport, it looks like their flight (Swift Air flight #5106) lands at 1:57. 

    I wasn't sure if that was the team charter or the alumni charter, but take a look at the flight plan:

    Somewhere between Tampa and Nashville (BNA), they're going to hit GOONs place. :)

    Our Father who art in Tampa.  Hockey be thy name.  Thy will be done.  The National Championship will be won.  On ice, as well as in the stands.  Give us this day our hockey sticks and forgive us our penalties, as we forgive those who cross-check against us.  Lead us not into elimination.  But deliver us to "victory"!!  In the name of the Fans, The Hockey Gods, and the Fighting Sioux. Amen..........

    For the kingdom, the power, and the Hawks nickname are yours, forever, and ever.

    Holy schmoligans!  I thought we were dealing with a budget deficate requiring cuts.  Where is this moolah coming from?

    Mr. Underhill's American Express card...want the number?

    I would love for someone to put together all the posts of the ledge standing fools  to show the "fans" or fake fans to ignore all season! Funny how some of them have less than 50 total post's. Only post this time of year to demand this team to win them a natty! Pathetic!

    But that's sports, right?  One man's "fool" is another man's "fan." 

    Some people drink, some eat, some pace, some chew nails, some punch the sofa, some squeeze throw pillows, some hide their faces, some get up and leave the room, some change the channel, some cuss, some loudly.

    Heck, they even make and sell "Tear Apart Stress Dolls" dressed like referees.

    And, yes, some even dare to leave their laptop open on a game chat and register real-time, irrational, and emotional reactions to what they are watching.

    It really shouldn't bother anyone, and certainly not to the point of calling out fellow UND fans.  We're all on the same team.

    I'm sure this will come off as offensive to some.  But, really?  Travis Roy story again?  Right now?       

    How about some pre-game instead???

    Actually, the studio schtick was starting to get a little stale...methinks they had run out of things to talk about.  Pre-packaged video content = savior.  Also, meal- and potty-break for "talent."

    My wife and I just recently got stationed here in Grand Forks—and hockey is literally the only redeeming quality in this God forsaken town (UND’s hockey arena and team really are terrific).

    Oh—and they don't have any of those super sweet accents like in Fargo which REALLY pisses me off.

    This is f**king nuts. You mean to tell me that there is a prestigious international tournament being held in Grand Forks, North Dakota?

    To be fair, Meldonium is a legal antidepressant proscribed for people who will in future have to spend any amount of time in North Dakota.

    It's hard to feel a lot of "hate and indifference to the new logo" when you live 1,500 miles away.

    A sure-fire, three-step process for SME to ward off the inevitable "hate and indifference":

    1.  Live in NYC.

    2.  Make a ton of money on the job.

    3.  Avoid SiouxSports.com like the plague. I truly believe that >99% of the "hate and indifference" is perpetuated by a handful of posters here. I have not found that this board is reflective of the community at large. From the huge disconnect in nickname polling to the utter lack of SS bile, venom, and vitriol among real grown-up humans you meet on the street, I feel sorry for the casual reader here who might assume that this site accurately depicts the name-and-logo climate in GF.

    Did UND currently have $6,000,000 in waste per year or will the University have to educate less students by cutting certain programs?

    One man's waste is another man's 'opportunity for savings.'  They may have to switch from imitation crab meat to imitation imitation crab meat, and so forth.
