  1. Congratulations to Matt Hrynkiw. He has now tied the same number of hockey games another UND Sioux played in his entire time at UND. He has one game. But great things can come of this. That other player went on to play 7 years in the NHL and has his name on the 1991-1992 Stanley Cup.
  2. Why not just give a full ride scholarship to a student who creates the best logo for the new nickname. Let students and sports teams vote on the logo.
  3. I like the Fighting ... (ok Hawks). Roughriders bother me, do we really want opposing teams to throw empty roughrider condom boxes on the ice. Maybe it will never happen but it has a potential to be a rotten situation.
  4. Previous quote Yes, they are so at this point, I see no purpose for UND Insider unless your card had been charged for this season, in which UND and Neulion have already upgraded it to the NCHC.tv package. So really you have to buy both.
  5. New NCHC Television Offer I like the new offer to watch all NCHC games on technology this year. There are questions about the UND subscription and NCHC subscription overlap. I provide this information and hope it allows us to find the right answers before we commit to two subscriptions. I did call and talk with Michael Weisman, Director of Communications of the NCHC, he was polite and did provide some useful information, but he did not have all the answers. It appears NeuLion and UND have to respond to this issue of watching other UND sports. I sent the following to find clarification. To: undsports@neulionnetwork.com I currently have a Siouxxtra All-Access Pass until 2024 which renews automatically yearly (see below). Now I have been told from the NCHC that Men's hockey will no longer be included in this. That to watch UND Hockey after this years pass expires, I will need to have a NCHC NeuLion Pass for a charge of 81.95 if purchased before September 25th. Problem: I would like the NCHC pass so I can watch all the NCHC games during the year. My concern is that I will no longer be able to use the pass to watch women's soccer, women's volleyball, women's and men's basketball, and Tennis. If I want to watch those sports, it appears I also need to have the Siouxtra pass. Is this correct? Because the hockey is no longer on Siouxtra pass, the value of the pass has been diminished and I am paying more for the hockey and more for the rest of the Sioux sports. How can I watch the UND sports (not including football) plus men's hockey without two subscriptions, with one of the subscriptions having been priced $47.96 until 2024 (which included men's hockey)? UND Insider FREE Audio-Only Pass Purchase Date: 10/27/2007 Expiration Date: 10/27/2014 Special Offer: SIOUXtra All-Access Pass -- SAVE 20% Purchase Date: 10/17/2008 Expiration Date: 10/14/2024 UND Insider FREE Audio-Only Pass Purchase Date: 10/23/2010 Expiration Date: 10/23/2014 Let’s spend some time and discuss this on the blog.
  6. I had the chance to watch live Alan Hangsleban. I agree he was outstanding. Almost had his career destroyed with the accident on the farm.
  7. Sad situation. Over-reaction by military force on students. A little better response by police could diffuse situation. But students are being clearly rounded up like cattle. I believe on keeping order but this could have gotten ugly.
  8. I believe UND should never adopt a new nickname. Clearly with no nickname Sioux fans have continued to use the nickname at games and in referring to the University of North Dakota. No nickname: the fans will continue to unofficially use "The Fighting Sioux".
  9. Goldie is there right. What happens if he gets thrown on the ice.
  10. Sorry the statement added to previous post got posted incorrectly. My part of statement said So Austria has a way to stop it or was there something in Mr. Earl's prior environment that caused the flopping around. Any ideas - maybe poor coordination that might have improved as he aged or different rules or coaching or skate sharpening procedure or or or... Any other ideas lol
  11. yzerman19 Today, 07:45 PM WestCoastPowerPlay, on 23 March 2014 - 07:18 PM, said: Exactly. Remember Robbie Earl. Dude dove better than Greg Louganis. He did WHAT better than Louganis? Past tense of dive is dove (like the bird).
  12. Major concerns I have for the game is the Wisconsin actors trying to sell penalties. Diving seems to exist in the game when the Badgers play. Just watch the game in which all Sioux fans were watching - it was easy to overlook the diving because we wanted Wisconsin to win - but look at the game and they tried to get undeserved penalties. Can we expect the behavior to continue.
  13. And when was the national trophy for UND? Nice to be in the tournament. Yes very nice. Nicer to win four in the tournament.
  14. I wonder if Wisconsin players are thinking "what have we done!" Wisconsin won, letting UND into the tournament and now they get to play a team (Sioux), who has a very high chance to knock them out of the tournament. Sioux players you have your opportunity now stick it to the badgers.
  15. Most will slap themselves on the head and say "why did we have to play them?" If Sioux played very near home, guessing there would be a lot of sore heads in dinky town.
  16. Did the NCHC decision to play a consolation game in it's tournament, play a factor in getting a third NCHC team in the nationals? Which at this moment is likely the Fighting Sioux.
  17. Three NCHC teams in the national, not bad. Truly feel that this was a rough year for the teams in the NCHC. I believe their best regular season inter-league games are yet to come.
  18. I would love to see Sioux against Union.
