Time to Boo Berry?

[Oldguy]

Hey Berry - "Boo"!  Your team was flat tonight when it should have been the best effort of the year.  How does that reflect on you?

Berry needs to make some wholesale changes or we will be down a rabbit whole that won’t be easy to climb out of. 

He has to figure out what is more important being friendly to players or improving the team. #culture

Brad's a great guy, which is why he had his daughter secretly trademark a wordmark used on hockey uniforms and apparel.  

I totally dare him to bust out the black NODAK jerseys for tomorrow.  What a totally appropriate way to end this dumpster fire season.

What’s this about a trademark? Wasn’t aware.

Something to do with the NODAK branding

Don't forget Blais was a Gino assistant for most of the 1980s. 

Yup. He was a pretty loyal UND guy by that time. 

[SiouxHawkGuy]

An upcoming coach with no connection to North Dakota please.

Maybe some fireworks after a shootout win?

I would guess Berry gets another extension after this year, let’s grind this program into oblivion. #culture

Who cares I’m satisfied with the results of a preseason top 5 tean

 

we have good culuture

Maybe the coaching staff needs a darkness retreat.

He's on an interesting list ...

Did not review the list in great detail but skimmed thru it and saw 3 former UND players listed but could of missed one or two.

The culture comments are getting old. Coaches comment on their team culture all of the time. It has nothing to do with these games nor how they recruit. It’s part of coach speak. 
Gaber’s comments pretty much made it clear. Once the puck drops the players need to play. If these guys play up to their full capabilities they can take the next 2. It’s a big challenge. It will be interesting to see how these guys respond to adversity.

What’s getting old is a team underperforming and nothing changes with this coaching staff other then coach speak. #culture

What about recruiting and development? Is that on the players and no one else too? #culture

I’m not debating that.

The only thing that matters right now is tonight’s game. I think we can win. 

This team has struggled this year but they can still make the playoffs. 

The negative comments about culture have little merit in my opinion and show no insight as to why we have struggled this year. It’s the opinion of a number of others and my opinion in the mind of those folks probably has no merit either. I’m ok with that cuz regardless of the success or failure of our athletic teams my life doesn’t change. 
 

We can win tonight if the guys play well every minute of every shift and DeRidder stays sharp. Doesn’t take a genius to figure that out but there we have it.

I think the culture thing keeps coming up because Berry keeps preaching it but his players aren’t living it.

What Berry says at press conferences....  same things you say when your wife asks"do these pants make my butt look fat?"

Pretty pointed accusation.
Have the facts to back that up?

 I DO NOT believe it was just a coincidence that the person who trademarked the name "nodak" was his daughter. I would think Brad had more knowledge than most people believe.

[90siouxfan]

Or daughter is sharp enough to know "dad can't know" but missed the appearances dogma....

 

Maybe it was just a way to keep an unknown from getting the item.  I like to assume people are good until they prove otherwise.  It costs me at times, but it is the way I want to live.

[The Sicatoka]

Did "dad" know? We'll never know apparently; the media has lost interest. 

Did the TM possession move from "negotiating" to "turned over to UND" in a day when it came out? Yup. That sounds like "dad hammer", whether he knew or just found out. But if UND was "negotiating" why wouldn't it get back to him if he didn't know before. 

Questions ...

Perhaps silence is the best path forward,  like the Richard Gere gerbil controversy....  have fun with googling that gem

You're comparing the NODAK trademark fiasco to Richard Gere and his gerbil?  Awesome!
