Kermit's Luck

First off - looking forward to this year's team making some great Sioux hockey memories! Also - I'm trying to track down any footage of a game against Denver in the early 80s. Dean Dachysyn went through the penalty box to continue his "conversation" with the opposing player, and a penalty box fight ensued. Hoping to find any pictures or video if they're out there. Thanks in advance!

Great comeback! Now hang on and get the W. Anyone else having issues with NCHC.tv? I just turned it on and there's a midco replay of a football game when I'd much rather be watching the hockey...

Dang, thanks for the heads up - those new jerseys are killer! I might actually have to buy one. Isn't the logo on the shoulder patch? I definitely used to be "Sioux Forever" (and the part of me that learned to read on media guides/programs/etc always will), but I've realized it wasn't worth the controversy and also that Native American imagery is probably not well-suited for athletic team names. Fighting Hawks is a super lame name and I'm glad to see this alternate jersey unveiled. They obviously had full support of the athletic department, so I don't see the issue.

Vaccinated individuals have less severe symptoms AND are less likely to contract COVID. If everyone were vaccinated, we'd have fewer people with the virus and those that did catch it would (on average) have better outcomes. Sounds awesome and not hard to understand at all!

Pretty sure his dad went to UND. Typical Cities pretty boy, but a good enough dude and hopefully he steers his kid to Engelstad.

Nice work Moderator. Would love to read only about UND hockey on this website, but a handful of you guys (moderator included wtf) feel compelled to unnecessarily bring a very debatable and politically sensitive topic into darn near every discussion. I bet the other moderators are really impressed with your posts like the above.

It is science-based, but a bunch of people in this country decided to make it political. I know, it's crazy.

I think most of us don't, but some people are experts on all subjects and like to come here and point out even the smallest flaws in other people's decision making. Bonus points if there's a reference to the so-called "raging pandemic".

Let's talk about some new or good restaurants in GF so we stay on thread! I know the mods only shut down the political talk when there's a response (ref always get the retaliation!) so I guess you guys can keep it up. Personally, I miss Player's. Two for one drinks and half-priced apps really helped me out back in the day. I used a Jedi mind trick on the bartender/manager to get a pitcher of beer and four Morgan Cokes for the price of a pitcher. 4 beers in a pitcher, the equivalent two-for was 4 drinks. $8 I think. Had a good local stumble my last couple years at school with a cheap buzz at Players and blackjack and dirty girls at Southgate. These days, I'm a big fan of JL Beers and Vinyl Taco.

yep, sorry. shoulda just pasted the pdf like stoneySIOUX up a couple posts...

Nice conspiracy theory bro. Got any more? My guess is yes.

Glad to move on as I'm not going to get into a pissing match over something this absurd. I scanned that link and didn't see a single sentence about it not being highly contagious - what'd I miss? If it's not highly contagious, how are there so dang many cases? Can we blame testing some more?

If i were you, I'd listen to the other information you've gotten about covid and not the opinion of some crackpot on this website. What's just left of alt-right? Yowza.

No one is scared by the total number of positives in ND. There aren’t enough people in ND for that number to be soooo scary. It absolutely is the daily positivity rates and the per capita rates that have people concerned. And to the guy upthread talking about all the asymptomatic 5 - 39 year olds being incentivized to get tested and increasing the case numbers - do you have any data for that or did you pull it out of the air? And what incentives are you talking about? Is the incentive to know if you’re positive for the highly contagious virus overloading our hospital systems and causing many fatalities, or is there something more sinister at play here? WTAF

Doesn't that link point to a Trump tweet calling Powell a member of his team on 11/14? Kinda splitting hairs regardless, they had her up there speaking on their behalf so regardless of a technicality or Trump's tweet, she was at the very least taking a face-off whether she was on the team or not.

If you'll reread what I said, I said giving access to screenings and preventative healthcare on a regular basis was a good idea. I never said anyone was being denied access to healthcare. You guys and your straw man arguments in this thread are tiresome. But, when it's the only tool in your toolbox, it doesn't really how matter dull it is, eh? I was only talking about Canada's healthcare to prop them up for something besides legal weed, all-dressed chips, and their hospitality in my Walsh Hall days. I'd rather continue discussing the tinfoilers that think the election was rigged against Trump. I had no idea the internet was this full of smart people (maybe) following ludicrous conspiracy theories, jiminy Christmas.

I quite luckily blew this thread off during the Black Lives Matter protests this summer, and am not going to take the bait. Not particularly interested in discussing demographics with this board. I think there would certainly be a positive correlation between low life expectancy and living below the poverty line, I’d give you that much.

There are a lot of factors that go into that, and I'm not claiming to be an expert. Lifestyle choices obviously play a part, but giving access to screenings and preventative health care on a regular basis sure seems like a good idea.

I don't speak right-wing tinfoilese - please elaborate.

I said learn from, not trade with. As someone with a good standard of living, health insurance, and a healthy(+/-) lifestyle, if/when I need serious healthcare I do and will continue to go the best regional facilities I can - might as well play the hand you're dealt. That doesn't mean our current system couldn't use an overhaul - Canada's system consistently outperforms ours in several major metrics, most significantly life expectancy and percentage of GDP that is spent on health care.

Have you been sounding the alarm that our elections aren't run properly prior to 2020? Or did this go from zero to national crisis in one election cycle? I'll assume the latter. Do you think your attitude towards our elections has been influenced by the Trump campaign? Their only path to remain in power is to remove public faith in the election process, disenfranchise the votes of every American (especially the ones that voted against them), and throw a Hail Mary trying to get in front of a Supreme Court that they think they've stacked. It won't work, and they know it - but they'll do it anyways. Horrifyingly un-American, and a sadly tragic and predictable end to what I hope is the most far-right President this country ever elects. Our election process is fine - it's only now that Trump lost that we're talking about it. On another note, Canada does a ton of things well that we could learn from. Health care, cannabis, all-dressed chips, and they've got the hockey thing down. I'll always owe them for the road trips out of Walsh Hall to the peeler bars.

My source was from mlive.com, posted the link a few pages back when this BS all started. The two votes not to certify (assume you’re talking about Wayne County last week; it was 3-0 today in favor of certifying with one abstaining) were from two minor county election officials that drink the Trump Kool Aid. There hasn’t been any evidence presented of voter fraud in Michigan (or anywhere else).

Dude they were like 5-25 votes out of balance max in each precinct. Your hypothetical is absurd. As said above, it wouldn't have been certified by the county.

Im definitely not saying tax shelters are partisan. Rich people both blue and red have tools at their disposal to avoid paying taxes that normal folk simply don’t have. When you see some of the effective tax rates paid by the wealthy, it’s pretty crazy and counterintuitive to how things should work in a healthy society. In my opinion at least, obviously.
