  1. I don't want to speculate, but Buffalo may be tipping its hand as to who they're going to take with the 2nd pick in the upcoming NHL draft. They could possibly be looking at selecting Jack Eichel.

    I'm changing my response. You better put some oven mitts on with that hot take.

     

    That feels better.

    Be careful with those rumors

  3. I'd support it in a heartbeat.

    The official name "Mjolnir"; in the SID information that goes out to media you'd explain that Mjolnir is war hammer used by Thor, the Norse/Germanic thunder god.

    The media would pick up on "war hammer" immediately and you'd soon hear TV and radio guys use it just like the media references "the herd" instead of the B-word for that yellow school in Fargo.

    Remember, only the worthy wield Mjolnir.

    Speaking of the B-words, it would steal some of their "thunder". The Norse believed that the sound of thunderstorms was a production of Thor fighting giants to protect humans.

  4. A player gave me a helmet sticker sophomore year, and I unfortunately lost it (darn you 19 year old Eric). I wish I still had it for the tailgating vehicle I'm putting together.

  5. If Hakstol can't win it all, he's my Robert E. Lee and I want no one else. There isn't a coach I'd trade him for. Our PP looked best in the biggest game of the year. We didn't start hot, which you can't put on him, which gives up the first goal due to taking a penalty and not moving feet. Next goal? Penalty that shouldn't have been. Next two goals? Zan stops at least 1 90% of the year and we out hustled /outplayed them during that stretch. Not on the coach. He can't cash in. He kept the mentality for the team to keep it a game. Hak is my guy. Call me an aplogist or what have you. ride or die wth hak

  6. I asked a friend if he wanted to go there tonight. Say hi if you see me, ill be the guy in the white Sioux jersey lol

    Sounds good. I'll be wearing a Hakstol jersey tee & one those vintage Sioux / green blackhawk hats you get from the Sioux shop.

  7. I'll heading to BWW tonight. There have been packets of Sioux ever increasing there. 

     

    Last year, I would go there for games, and I would be known as the Sioux guy, and they would turn the TV in front of me to the Sioux game. Two weekends ago, about 80% of the TV's were showing the boys vanquish the huskies while Notre Dame's attempted upset over Kentucky was relegated to a couple oddball screens. It's getting to be a kinda cool atmosphere. 

     

    PM me if you show up there tonight!

  8. I always thought they blew it going to Eagles. Their answer was obvious:

     

    The Eastern Michigan University Emus. 

     

    Yes, the EMU Emus! :D

     

    Logo.

    I think someone probably suggested it, but once challenged, no one was willing to stick their neck out for it 

     

    +1.

  9. Regarding Badlanders, where was TR's ranch? Think of it as Rough Riders, only more pertinent to the state and without the duplication issue with RRHS.

    the Elkhorn ranch is about 20 miles north of medora
  10. Better yet, let's be true capitalists and sell the nickname rights. We could be:

    The North Dakota Verizon Fighting V's

    The North Dakota Freaks - Freaky Fast and sponsored by Jimmy Johns

    The North Dakota Budweiser Storming Clydesdales - Unique and representative of UND!

    The North Dakota Grinders - Sponsored by the Red Pepper

     

    Sell the rights for 5 years at a time. New revenue to support the school and new merchandise sales every few years from people having to keep up with the new logos.

    they have been a lot worse names thrown around than Grinders or Storming Clydesdales in my mind.
