They look alright. They'd look better if they weren't made by Adidas. Outside of soccer/Europe they're widely thought of as the bottom dweller of the major apparel companies.

Honestly, I don't completely hate it. Obviously I want the old name and logo back but i'm not going to sit and pretend like this new logo is the worst logo in sports.

I'm not a big fan of Crosby but he is without a doubt the best player in the NHL. I also both agree and disagree with you when you call him a pansy. Yes, he used to be a whiny little punk that hid behind his C. However, he has made some pretty drastic changes when it comes to that. He's started to develop some leather on his skin and has largely put the Crysby label behind him.

Does the thoughts of Arizona State in the NCHC change anyone's opinion on this topic?
Not for me. If the B1G offers we go. Only reason we stay is if we aren't guaranteed a permanent slot as an affiliate member.

Who'd be the most surprising if he stayed? That's your answer.
Well, that would most definitely be Ladue considering most everyone thinks him leaving is a no brainer. I'm not going to get my hopes up but that would be HUGE if he decided to return.

Well, I'll be the selfish fan:. If things don't go as planned, I will be very elated to see (in person) LJ on the ice for for the final horn when HIS team gets #9 in Chicago.
It's your team, Luke.
Gage Ausmus leaving?

You have to apply for a redshirt in hockey? It's that much different than every other sport?
Pretty sure you have to apply for one in every sport don't you? I'm certain you have to for a medical redshirt but maybe a standard redshirt is different.

Yea 2011. I think that team had much better forwards but this one has a better d corps.
Yeah that 2011 team was as good of a team as you'll see in college hockey. I don't know if I've ever been as disappointed in a loss as I was at the end of that year. Was clearly the best team in college hockey that year and, in my opinion, by a wide margin.

I still don't think its a great chance UND gets a call to become an affiliate but the faucet now has a subtle drip. Whether or not people like it, if the B1G offers we will take it. We'd be stupid not to. Plus UND offers more than Arizona State in the current situation:
Fan Base UND >>> ASU
Tradition UND >>>>> ASU
Talent UND >>>>> ASU
Proximity UND >>>> ASU
Established Rivalries UND >>>>> ASU
Facilities UND >>>> ASU
Weather UND <<<<<<<<<< ASU
I put the chances of a UND B1G offer at about 20%.

I like the NCHC as much as the next guy does. We are in a fantastic conference but IF the B1G came calling we would have no choice but to go. The NCHC is just fine but we have also probably seen as good as it is going to get. The B1G's talent is going to improve and they already have a better TV deal. Not to mention the opportunity to be directly affiliated with those schools is to much to pass up.
In conclusion, I see no scenario that we are offered a B1G slot but if we were there is a 0% chance that we pass on it.

Do we see Tomek for a game?
-
Desean Eikens opened up the season last night for Williston with I believe 47 points and 25 rebounds. Williston still lost to Belcourt though. Feel bad for the kid. Probably the best talent the ever come through North Dakota and his team stinks.

Still can't believe its going to be December and still no Tomek sighting.

Well, tonights performance was not good. Come out strong next weekend.

This is poop.

Does our PK look different this year? Doesn't seem like we're pressuring the puck as much as years past but maybe I'm wrong.
-
Is Tomek still hurt?
-
Simonson has been bad tonight. Plenty of guys taking shots, unfortunately not many on frame.

I'll be picking between Nodaks and Rough Riders for the simple fact that they are the only 2 options. I don't care if a "Nodak" isn't a real thing. It would be unique and represent North Dakota. Rough Riders is the only other viable option.
Fighting Hawks, wow, original. Must have taken months to think that one up. Pass.
North Stars, awesome name but it belongs to Minnesota.
Sundogs, an abomination. The fact that it made it this far is a sham. On top of that, it is a slang term for a sexual act. If you aren't aware head on over and look it up on Urban Dictionary. *Disclaimer, its not appropriate so I'm not going to link it but it does exist.

Kozek had a hammer, but it wasnt a quick release.
Kozek had an absolute bomb.

Poganski looks faster to me. Still has that grit to him too.
2016 football uniforms

As someone who is a die hard Michigan football fan I can tell you it's widely known that Michigan left millions on the table to get away from Adidas. They've had issues such as the student body/athletes not wanting Adidas, Adidas screwing up their school colors, and uniforms literally falling apart during games.
"According to ESPN's Darren Rovell, Nike was actually the lowest bidder for the rights to be U'M's official outfitters."

Whether people want to admit it or not Adidas has a MAJOR perception problem in the States. Nike is far and away the most popular provider followed by UA. Adidas is in a distant third.
