AZSIOUX Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I am a little surprised that the host school did not deal with this flub up. Maybe there should be some "errors" in the name of a certain school visiting Grand Forks for the regional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxMeNow Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 FB confusion - I can understand. The NDSU/Wisconsin BB thing was pretty funny but also understandable. There really is NO excuse for this one though...We're a CHARTER MEMBER of the league for crying out loud! I'm sure it was an accident by some knob but if anyone noticed, they didn't think enough about UND Hockey to try to fix it or just trash the posters and that's disrespect! If you have one you might want to drop it off at practice sometime this week - it'd look great hanging in the lockerroom I'm sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farce poobah Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Losing to the University of North Dakota is bad enough, but losing to the North Dakota State University hockey team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakotadan Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Wisconsin sure is having a tough time beating NDSU in any sport this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MafiaMan Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 You know, the sad part is, that outside of the obvious error, it's actually one of the cooler items given out at any Final Five I've been to. It sure beats some Red Baron beads or black and teal (or was that supposed to be green, lol) pom poms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WPoS Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Exactly whoever's at fault should issue an explanation and an apology. don't you guys all know it is a vast Gopher/Minnesota conspriacy to keep you guys down? W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmrg74 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Whoever did the final proofread on that poster should be dragged out into the cold mean streets from his nice warm bed, Tarred and Feathered, and then forced to violate a porcupine or woverine.

ScottM Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Well, I'm just glad that UND could lend a hand to its younger, uglier sister in her quest for national D1 recognition. Good luck to the North Dakota State Fighting Sioux against the Michigan State Wolverines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaneA Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 A Gopher fan razzed me--good-naturedly--about the poster, shouting "Let's go Bison." I said something on the order of, "Thanks. The cow colleges gotta stick together." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnt Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 They should have never been handed out with that error. A formal letter of apology from the WCHA to the University of North Dakota is in order. I believe the same would be true from Red Baron (and maybe theirs should have a check with it). PS - Red Baron is part of Schwan's. Boycott (until they apologize) anyone? http://www.schwansfoodservice.com/Brands/RedBaron.asp Can't we lighten up a bit. Are we going to be like the Minnesota fans that boycott Senser's? I think the University of North Dakota is big enough to live through this slight, or do the people screaming so loudly really believe that UND is now in the shadow of NDSU. I certainly don't! Also, why isn't NDSU screaming for being potrayed with an offensive nickname? Maybe they'll take any exposure they can, even if it means being hypocritical about the nickname.

Goon Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 This isn't some minor flub up this is a major deal and should have never happened. I would bet you any amount of money if it happened to the UofMNTC it wouldn't have even been handed out however, since it is UND no one seems to care one bit. I think its time to write the people of the Red Barron Final Five. Anyone have the emails so we can start flaming away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnt Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 St. Cloud has as much right to feel slighted as UND. After the Sioux beat Wisconsin, they announced that North Dakota would be playing Minnesota for the Championship on Saturday. Talk about overlooking the obvious. I didn't hear a correction either. Anybody else hear this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody else hear this? When did this happen? I thought I heard it was on the Doug and Frank Show. Or did they actually announce it at the 'X. If it was on the Doug and Frank show what do you expect from Dumb and Dumber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightonsioux Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I wouldn't expect anything less from a UofM graduate working for a pizza joint. If nothing else, hopefully this will confuse the NCAA and they'll change the Bison name instead!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCHA Rodent Killer Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 When did this happen? I thought I heard it was on the Doug and Frank Show. Or did they actually announce it at the 'X. If it was on the Doug and Frank show what do you expect from Dumb and Dumber? They did announce it after the game on Friday. At first the announcer said that the Sioux would play in Saturday's Semi-Final game, then corrected himself and then said that UND would play the University of Minnesota Saturday evening at 7:35 pm.

Snake Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 The crew at the X was getting ahead of themselves all weekend. Aside from placing UM in the title game before they even played, they showed the WCHA Final Five Championship hats with UND's logo on them on the big screen with about 4 minutes left in the championship game. Given how wrong they were the first time, I thought that was an attept to jinx us, but we pulled through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the history of the White Man killing the buffalo just for sport it's hostile and abusive to name a bad sports program after the bison.

Sioux Hockey Fanatic Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 They did really ruin a perfectly nice souvineer with that outragous typo. I want a new one printed up and signed by the CHAMPIONS! THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA! They can mail them out to all the people that purchased ticket packages.
