UND3 Minn3

From a college hockey perspective this was a much more entertaining UND vs. Minn. game


What I liked about the game:

• UND came away with three points for the weekend
• Jake Marto's save late in the third period
• Goals from the blue line( both games)

What I didn't like about the game:

• Gophers short handed goal
• Inconsistent play by UND
• Eidsness being away from the front of the net

UND 4 - Minn. 0

UND had a great team effort in last night’s game. They beat the Gophers 4-0.

What I liked about the game:

• 11 players on UND had at least one point.
• UND scored off the power play.
• UND played their game for the full 60 minutes.
• The whiteout by the fans at the REA.
• The UND “kill” of the five-minute checking from behind penalty.

What I didn’t like about the game:

• Gleason’s five-minute checking from behind penalty - If this was a closer game it could have been a huge issue.
• Watching the Gopher feed on Fox College Sports.

I’m sure tonight’s game will have a very different feel to it. I expect the Gophers will play very differently then the way they played last night.

Let’s Go Sioux!

Ok it's worth one more look....

Nickname - Sioux vs. 'Guns up'

As the Sioux are on the verge of losing their identity and proud tradition, was anyone else struck by the irony surrounding Texas Tech’s “Guns Up” symbol? I read about the symbol last night when I was listening to the football game, and it got me thinking.

From Texas Tech’s web site:

GUNS UP
- The hand sign of Texas Tech is the "Guns Up" which was created in 1972 by a Texas Tech Graduate who was attending law school. The sign is made by extending the index finger outward while extending the thumb upward and tucking in the middle, little and fourth fingers to form a gun. The idea is that the Red Raiders will shoot down their opponents. The Guns Up sign is the widely recognized greeting of one Red Raider to another. It is also the sign of victory displayed by the crowd at every athletic event.

Now, I am all for tradition and, as matter of fact, I think the TTU traditions are very cool, but I guess I don’t understand the NCAA. When it comes to logos that are “hostile and abusive racial/ethnic/national origin mascots, nicknames, or imagery,” then it’s an issue, but traditions that promote gun violence -- well, that’s ok.

This picture says it all.

Game On!!!
