No, the people who need counseling are those of you who seem to think that following a sports team requires unconditional love. I seem to be the only one here capable of keeping it in proper perspective : It is merely entertainment and nothing more, cheer for a team only for as long as they continue to offer a product that you like.

And the product,  for you,  is a name and logo.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy a season long zoo pass and go look at the Penguins whenever you wish?

I never knew why many of you were always so hard on DaveK?

Until now.........wow!

People cheer for who they want to cheer for.  Nobody was a Patriots fan and you NEVER saw a New England jersey anywhere until Tom Brady came along.  Seahawks fans are everywhere now too.  How many die-hard Bison fans and UND haters in Fargo are HUGE North Dakota hockey fans?  LOTS!  And they're chastised here too because some folks don't understand how you can be a fan of both teams.

Everyone needs to relax and let DaveK be DaveK.  He's a Gopher hockey fan now.  Big deal.

He kinda seems to revel in it, doesn't he?  I've never picked at him (that I recall) because I don't know him.  Although we're both in Fargo, so I may have met him?  One thing is for sure; If DaveK and I ever meet for a beer, I hope it's a day I'm wearing Bruins gear

The culture that has been built within the men's hockey program is nothing short of exceptional from the early days of John Noah to Reggie to Gino, Dean-o, Hak and now Berry.  What a privilege it is to be able to watch these young men compete at the highest of levels of college athletics while building a life-long bond to the program, to a brotherhood and to its storied history.  That alone goes way beyond a logo and nickname.  I WILL always cheer for that culture that so many people have given so much to make and I will always cheer for the University of North Dakota hockey team!

I like a winning team as much as the next fan, but I don't like it at any cost. I would rather lose with integrity than sell my soul to win.

Lol you're a bit dramatic, aren't ya? 

First, you say it's just a sports team and it's entertainment then you imply current UND fans are selling their souls... can't have it both ways.

Dear Dave, 

You are entitled to a viewpoint. I never said otherwise; however, I am not, in any way shape or form, required to respect your viewpoint. I will go to my grave defending every American's right to their viewpoint, but not all viewpoints are equal so some I don't respect. 

In this case, I view you as a textbook definition turncoat and see your viewpoint in that light. 

And, before you retort it, no you don't have to respect my viewpoint either.

Signed,
A University of North Dakota fan

Only 10 year olds pick teams to like based on their name alone.  That's so weird I can't comprehend that any adult would ever do that.

 

I am glad you are no longer a fan DaveK.  Please stay away.  Far away.   You are a perfect Gophs fan.  They can have you.

[Siouxperfan7]

I miss the good old days of DaveK's self imposed ban on this site.  Probably more than I miss the Sioux name and logo!! 

[Fetch]

The Logo most likely is not coming back

Dave gets to decide if he wants to come back or not

Got to admit Dave can pull the chains on many & many of u are stubborn as can be - We should have considered Mules as a new name

Sounds like a bandwagon fan to me.

I have to admit, this made me laugh even though I don't think that was your intention.

Who died and left you in charge of assigning a limit of one forum to each person? As a matter of fact I am registered at that forum as well as this one and (GASP) many other ones too. People around here have such weak comebacks.

Indeed.  People obviously with pants that are not smart.

10 years of probation plus 180 days in the clink?  I think he got off easy.

If I had to guess I'd say his family and friends.

I've seen people looking at life for meth, so yeah, he got off easy. They might as well send him to treatment.

I guess I'm not a big fan of extended prison sentences for people who didn't physically or financially harm anyone else.

I don't know but they said it was a second felony offense so I thought the sentence seemed light.    That being said, I hope he gets the help he needs.

Heavily disliked the guy as broadcaster but he's got a problem. Feel bad for him and his family. I hope he gets better and finds a way to be happy. Gopher or not I take no joy seeing a person end up like this.

RIGHT!  The judge should have thrown the book at him and forced him to attend every single B10 hockey game this year.  Now THAT would have been punishmnent!

That's not entirely true. That meth comes from somewhere, produced by someone, trafficked by someone, sold by someone. Somewhere along the line, blood is shed , people have died, and more families wrecked than can be imagined. You'll never hear out of my mouth that drug use is victimless.

wait a minute.. what happened here??

 

DaveK=dubay?
