An article in the NYT about Quinnipiac being a hockey school. I have to say I am happy for Quinnipiac. Although that "...before Quinnipiac became an epicenter of college hockey," line really made me laugh. I know QU is a great team, especially this year. But come on, epicenter of college hockey? Bit of an overstatement, no? A few National Championships (Or ya know, seven) and they can cement their epicenter status. They did handle St. Cloud pretty well at the beginning of the season (5-2, and 4-1). We'll see if the Cats can make some noise this postseason.

NORTH DAKOTA vs. BC - Dec. 3rd 2016. Madison Square Garden
TrueSioux2000 replied to AZSIOUX's topic in Men's Hockey
Being from Connecticut, the only reason I go to NYC is for games at MSG. The city is a complete dump as far as I'm concerned. (Boston is better...) I stopped going to NYC after I went with some friends on New Years Day.......total mistake If you've planned a trip for toursity things.....god speed, I guess everyone has to do it once!! . It's definitely different than quaint Grand Forks. ***Except for the 9/11 memorial. That's very well done and I would recommend that to everybody!! Emotional, patriotic, just amazingly well done!! Highly recommend.*** Obviously UND will prevail with a win at the Worlds Most Famous Arena. No doubt. Let's go Sioux! -
I did my fair share (and beyond) of complaining of Fighting Hawks during the voting process, but I'm a man of democracy and I recognize when I have lost a battle. I won't buy Fighting Hawks gear for myself just yet (But I did buy my brother a Fighting Hawks sweatshirt because he loved my Fighting Sioux jersey I'm diabolical, I love it.), I'll wait for the logo! I believe in my heart of hearts the school will do what's right and adopt a bada$$ logo to lift the Fighting Hawks name from ambiguity. I know we have it in us! I will say during Christmas dinner, my step-brother asked what UND had chosen as its nickname, and I replied "Fighting Hawks." He replied "Oh just like UHart!" (University of Hartford). Not exactly the company I was hoping to keep, but we are who we are. Side note: these Quinnipiac people are giving me guff because USCHO has UND as #1 and some other poll (Idk which exactly) has QU as #1. I told them they're delirious. End of rant.

Nailed it.

UND Fighting Hawks vs. Alabama Huntsville - FRIDAY Gameday
TrueSioux2000 replied to AZSIOUX's topic in Men's Hockey
I also want to say Cam played great. Some terrific saves from that kid. My heart sunk when I saw UAH got a penalty shot, but gosh was I energized (Much like Coach Berry) when he stopped that shot! Good for him! Keep it up!! -
UND Fighting Hawks vs. Alabama Huntsville - FRIDAY Gameday
TrueSioux2000 replied to AZSIOUX's topic in Men's Hockey
I know it was just Alabama-Huntsville but I woke up this morning thinking "FINALLY IT'S GAMEDAY AGAIN!" So much fun!!!! I didn't think UND played bad at all to be honest....I thought they played hard but were perhaps a bit rusty, and couldn't finish some plays that they would've normally finished. First game back from break explains that! I know I'll be a bit rusty in regards to school when I return, but I get a thing called "syllabus week" to re-acclimate myself A win is a win, as we all know. Not too much complaining from me tonight! **I'm headed to a Quinnipiac basketball game tomorrow (Saturday 1/2) as something to do, but will absolutely be wearing my North Dakota Hockey shirt, to show those stupid Robertcats who's the boss.** Let's go Sioux/Hawks! **Irrelevant to the UND-UAH game, but gotta put those Robertcats in their place.** -
Can't let a rival come into the F'Hawks Nest, or as I call it for MBB, Coach Jonestown, and mount a comeback like that. Sick of NDSU hype.I didn't see the game, but if Jones got a technical foul called on him it better have been an epic spectacle, a la James Arthur Boeheim I was hoping to have a big celebration for the big Friday night in F-Hawks Athletics: the big win for MHOC, the as big or bigger win for WHOC, and then a rivalry win against the cow people in MBB. Whatever. It's fine.

All 75 fans came out to support the glorious #1 Prov. Coll. Friars! Putting a beat down on power house Brown

If your school is good at FCS football, be proud of that. If your school is good at college hockey, be proud of that. If your school is good at swimming/diving, be proud of that. I guess the point is be proud of your school, and be happy whenever a team brings home a trophy. Even when it's field hockey and cross country

UND FIGHTING HAWKS vs. DU Pioneers - FRIDAY Gameday
TrueSioux2000 replied to AZSIOUX's topic in Men's Hockey
It is what it is. I'm so numb at this point I couldn't care less if students and fans boo their school. I won't boo, I know that. I might not even wear my Fighting Sioux gear anymore. My friend, who's on one of the athletic teams, already got his Fighting Hawks shirt and I'm all in. (Says the guy who was crazy anti-hawk...irony) Fun win for the F-Hawks, and I'll be lookin for a similar win tomorrow night!! Although Denver will most certainly come out flying! Should be a fun one! See you guys tomorrow! -
Providence and Quinnipiac.....my oh my. I don't want to go back home for winter break and hear my obnoxious friends who go to PC and QU boast and brag about their unbeaten teams..... When will they lose? Qpac has BU on the 12th, maybe they lose that game? Hopefully? Probably not? Prov has.....idk BC? Really, I don't know what team could beat these guys...Pray that it comes soon I just can't stand another north eastern team winning the 'ship. I'm a New England guy, don't get me wrong, but I was happy for Yale and what not. I'm agonizing over Quinnipiac and Providence. God forbid Providence make another deep run. Stop the madness now, or the CBS line might have to in Tampa

UND FIGHTING HAWKS vs. DU Pioneers - FRIDAY Gameday
TrueSioux2000 replied to AZSIOUX's topic in Men's Hockey
Giving my honest opinion: I'm starting to absolutely hate this "Fighting Sioux" forever nonsense. I sat next to fellow students who I asked what they voted for, "Fighting Hawks because it was the best option," they replied. All of a sudden, "Fighting Hawks at full strength!" And those same students boo'd. Are you f***king kidding me????? Is that a practical joke?? You vote for a name then boo your school and your team??? I can't stand it. I didn't vote for F-Hawks in any rounds of voting, but I accept that's what the majority voted for. I'll cheer for Fighting Hawks, Roughriders, NoDaks, hell I'd even cheer for Sundogs if that's what the majority voted for. This is done, the school moved on. You may stick to Fighting Sioux, but the school is moving forward. Don't boo your alma mater, your favorite team. Cheer for UND. Be an adult. -
I guess I should include ***sarcasm*** anytime I use it in text format

Oh yea and they have a hostile and abusive nickname.

Bradley is 1-7. If you average out how many points they've lost by it comes out to about an average of 16 points. Bradley's blowout losses: Arizona (6-1, loss to Providence), 90-60 Virginia (6-1, loss to George Washington..ouch), 87-52 Delaware (4-2, losses to Iona/Temple), 70-47 Bradley barely lost to Towson (5-3, losses to La Salle/OK State/Ole Miss), 62-60 So, overall, you'd think UND has a chance to come out playing hard, and competitive basketball. I hope the F'Hawks can get a road win, but it would be our luck to lose to the 1-7 team.

Yeesh...a school with a condom for a mascot??? Bold move.

I don't know if anyone is "upset" by a 20 point win, because they shouldn't be upset at all but let's not make it bigger than it really is. They beat Waldorf College....like they should've. If Coach Jones can get his players, and his recruits to buy into what he's selling and make them believe in this program and in one another, then I have no quarrel with him. Teams that play hard for each other, for their school, and for their coaches are always fun to watch. Just hope that when push comes to shove down the stretch, this team has what it takes to be a contender.

Ohhhhhh yea, top 25 here we come!

I was surprised at the score of the second game...didn't see that coming

Not thinking? Lapse in judgement? That explains how he ended up at U of Minnesota....
