Taz Boy Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. Theodore Roosevelt "The Man In The Arena" Speech at the Sorbonne Paris, France April 23, 1910 http://www.theodore-roosevelt.com/trsorbonnespeech.html Go Sioux! taz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCM Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 What would someone playing with Mapletoft's grandfather know about failing? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> All I know is that Mapletoft is wicked good in NHL 2004. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Boy Posted February 23, 2005 Author Share Posted February 23, 2005 Taz, that's one of my all-time favorites and you bring it up at the right time. I needed to see that again. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, one has to love a quote that celebrates hard work and failure! Even though the frustration is somewhat understandable, I don't like reading such negativity on a public forum. I think the boys are busting their butts out there and should be recognized for it. Tough season to dominate, and the Sioux are certainly a program in transition. I support Hakstol and encourage everyone to give him time to mold his team. By fostering coaching talent, UND is contributing so much to the WCHA with Sandy and Hak that all alumni should be proud. Just last year, the Sioux demonstrated they can be dominating at home in the new REA and win the McNaughton. This was huge in my opinion. It "breaks the seal" on the Ralph and eliminates any concern over whether or not home ice can be an advantage. Now they just need to put together a strong post season team and the next banner is just around the corner. Sure, it's likely not this year, but with lessons learned, maybe next. It is the decade of the WCHA-- Sioux, Gophs, Denver, . Enjoy it! (except for the Gopher part) When you see the Green-and-White hit the ice, cheer hard this weekend for those of us who cannot be there! The best program in the country needs its fans now more than ever. taz digs da Sioux! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
