    I will start by saying Im a huge Gopher fan and I hate the Huskies and that no name team from ND. My wife got tickets for the Huskies/ Sioux game on friday. Do I boo both teams while wearing my Gopher jersey? grin

    I don’t see the problem. You root for any Minnesota team against the Sioux. grin

    Yes. You boo them both. Especially the ND team that requires sensitivity training to call them their former name.

    Hey, hey, hey there now. We don’t use derogatory names on this forum. We don’t say “Sioux”, we say that they are “the team formerly known as the Sioux”, thereby avoiding the deragatory word “Sioux”.

    Thank you for keeping this forum the pinnacle of politically correct thought.

    I wish one of these teams that actually gave in would pick a name that mocks the PC crusade like the North Dakota Palefaces.

    Or the “Gimmies”. Seems to be a popular request across the board for the natives.

    Most years we could call them the ” North Dakota Canadians.”

    For now they still are the Fighting Sioux or Suzies.

    IMHO, There is not a better college hockey game than North Dakota and the Gophers, I wish we still were playing each other 4-5 games a year.

    Top notch NCAA Competition. Top notch Fans waytogo

    Thats true duluth is playing well. Good news for the Gophers is they will be back to the soft Big10 in time to make a frozen four run. smirk

    Have fun DT that’s what NCAA hockey is all about, I’d wear my Gophers Jersey and cheer each and every goal.

    I think you will be cheering for the Sioux, far more than the Huskies.

    After all the Huskies, have seen more broomsticks this year than a witches ask.

    How about the “Fight n Sue” ? You know like what the PC whiny-asses do when they get all butt-hurt over some team’s mascot.

    Well, now that the Gophers are in the Big Money–errr–I mean “Big 10” Conference, they do have beat those perianal hockey powerhouses like Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Penn State to get to the playoffs. I mean, it’s not like the good old days when the Gophs had a creampuff schedule with sure wins against UMD, St. Cloud, ND, and so on.

    Hopefully, over time the Gophers will build up some new rivalry games in the Big Money conference. Gophs vs. Ohio State. The hockey grudge match of the century! Kind of has a ring to it, doesn’t it?

    Actually, Notre Dame is in Hockey East and has a respectalbe record since Jeff Jackson started coaching them. If you recall, Jackson won two National Championships with Lake Superior State in the early 90s.

    I think UND should call themselves the Chiefs but have a fireman for a mascot.

    It was a great game. St. Cloud was outplayed for some of the first but really turned it around. Always fun to see UND lose.
