Bear Man Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Did anybody read this from Inside College Hockey website ? This dumbass rips us fans pretty good. I've enclosed the quote from the article below. Gophers. Colgate, BC and Sconnie in the final 4 - - What a giggle! So much for credibility ! Does talk about the great move Oshie made versus the Goofies last weekend so he makes honorable mention for rookie of year so far. I don' think there was a mention of Toews. Here is the quote: n that spirit, it's time to hand out the first-ever Mike Check Mid-Season Awards. Winners, when you hear your name called, proceed to the front of the room to receive your $5 Hardee's gift certificate and a signed copy of "How to Win Friends and Influence Officials" by Jim Roque. Please hold your applause until the last name has been announced. North Dakota fans, you may begin sending angry e-mails now. (Seriously, NoDak-ers, is it a requirement for you to lambaste anyone who doesn't agree with your view of the college hockey landscape? Are you members of a genetically engineered sect whose primary physiological advancement is an extra bile duct? If I were asked to pick a celebrity to represent every team's fan base, I'd choose Dennis Hopper to be your proxy. Or maybe post-motorcycle accident Gary Busey.

As I say whenever this website talks bad about the Sioux and somebody posts it on here: They are a second rate site to USCHO, I rarely look at INCH, they are not even close to the quality of USCHO. Who cares what they say, I recommend not going to their site, you aren't missing much. There is a site I would recommend before INCH, it is www.collegehockeynews.com.

jimdahl Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 It's logical fallacy day on the message board (I just escaped another carefully laid such trap in my most recent post).

See, the trick is that by constructing this particularly criticism of UND fans, he gets to criticize us all he wants but we can't disagree or rebuke him or he would claim that's just further evidence his criticism is true. It's a sibling of the "when did you stop beating your wife?" logic trap. I think the INCH writers are just getting sick of UND fans' sharing LetsGoSioux!'s opinion above.

The inclusion of this guys quote about UND fans was not needed in his editorial. But as Jim stated, I am validating his opinion by complaining about it now, it was a no win situation. Like I said, don't go to the site like this guy wants us Sioux fans to do. Speaking of: "It's logical fallacy day on the message board", the writer of that article is a real big phallus!

CoteauRinkRat Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 That is such a classy site, I mean really, ripping a group of fans who won't stomach their garbage on a regular basis? This comes from a site that cannot write a story about the Sioux without getting a dig in about the weather in Grand Forks or something along that lines.

Sioux_Hab-it Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 (edited) For any writer to put a statement like that into his article tells me one thing. That his childhood dreams and hockey aspirations must have been in some way and at some previous point in time crushed by a Sioux Hockey team. He still bears the scars and has no other mechanism then to take out his pain and frustration on a two-bit site that would carry such a disgraceful piece. To think that TH gave their webmaster some intermission air time recently. Hope that doesn't happen again.

Let'sGoHawks! Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 A simple google search shows that the writer is the ex Michigan State Sports information director. Maybe he was around in 86-87 when we beat em for the title. Perhaps he is upset his old program has so few NCAA titles compared to our "tiny" school.

jimdahl Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 He's also called it the best college hockey site on the Web. It is his job to convince you he got a good interviewee that will keep you interested and tuned in. What's he going to say, "stay tuned for an interview with the editor of the nth best college hockey site on the web"? I'm pretty sure if Wodon or Brule came around, their sites would be the best for that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottM Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 You guys are taking INCH way too seriously. They freely admit they pilfer their information for other sources, including message boards, press snippets from Sid Hartman's senility-ravaged mind, the local preacher on the corner in front of their favorite crackhouse, etc. Really, INCH is like the WorldWeeklyNews of college hockey. In between hits on the pipe, eating pudding and glowing reviews of Brokeback Mountain, the INCH staffers are pretty harmless. Ignore them, and take them as a parody of college hockey "sudo-journalism". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farce poobah Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 INCH is not stupid, they want people to visit the site, and they also know where the biggest fan bases are. Talking trash at UND fans is a way to get traffic ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goon Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 -Thank you for the e-mail. I'm sorry you find the comments in Sunday's column insulting. While the conference notebooks are written in more of a nuts-and-bolts journalistic style, Mike Check tends to reflect my opinions on matters. And over the past months, it's been my experience that North Dakota fans -- more than any other fans in the country -- are the most vehement when they feel the Fighting Sioux has been slighted. My intent wasn't to take North Dakota fans to task for their fervor, but to offer a slight jab at the degree to which Sioux fans defend their program...to everyone. Again, thanks for the e-mail. Keep reading... Mike Eidelbes Inside College Hockey, Inc. Here is the response I got to my letter. I think he has us mixed up with Minnesota fans.
