Never said you did. But defending the chants as "it wouldn't be an issue if they had a different nickname" is a juvenile response. Like it or not, UND has a nickname/mascot based on a Native American tribe. Opposing fans should tread lightly when making up chants, just as they do when chants start to use swear words or when the chants break the line between innuendo and vulgarity. It's also not as simple as saying "we say the Gophers suck, we should be able to say it about the Sioux". This wasn't a generic chant, it was a specific historical event that was chosen because of their nickname. Just as the students can be given credit for getting clever or cute with good cheers, they can be reprimanded for choosing bad ones. While college students, they're adults and the face of UMD in a public arena. Their actions and words have consequences. I again reiterate the fact that this outrage would have been local or possibly unknown except for the current nickname staus at UND.Has anyone ever seen me say "The chants were great! They're ok! I like racism!" Nope.
Don't give yourself so much credit, it's a slow work day.Because I'm a polarizing figure and persona non grata on tPB everyone assumes the worst from me because they just see "RWD" and start foaming and the mouth and turn red with violent rage. It's cool, though. That's a lot of power for me to wield.
Back to the hockey games this weekend, any CC fans want to talk about their injuries? CHN has a ton of them listed for this matchup, are all the players out or are they playing hurt?
An acquaintance of mine mentioned that Duluth has a nice aquarium. Is it worth a visit?
Thanks for the link, that's a lot of players looking to come back without a full week of practice. Hopefully UMD can come out flying on Friday before they get their legs back. Also, Scott Owens thinks UMD has a good powerplay? BAHAHAHAHAHA!A lot of those guys played last weekend. More info here

CC is very banged up. To make matters worse they have played poorly the second half of the season.
Bulldogs sweep:
Friday UMD 8, CC 1.
Saturday UMD 6, CC 0.
Wow, and I'm making the trip all the way from Colorado Springs to witness it. Oh well, I hear the beer is good, and cheap!

I still love that nothing came of her smashing his back window and beating him over the head with a 9 iron. Cheating spouse or not, that's assault with a deadly weapon.If Elin Woods can beat up Tiger, then UMD can sweep the Tigers.
No doubt Tiger could have pressed chargers, but why would Tiger want the truth out there?I still love that nothing came of her smashing his back window and beating him over the head with a 9 iron. Cheating spouse or not, that's assault with a deadly weapon.
And the Bulldogs don't need a 9-iron, they have Jack![]()
Don't forget that Saturday's games will be pushed back to 7:37 because of HS hockey. CC fans, that's the ticket. If you can, take in some MN HS hockey.
197 percent this. Doubleheader at 10 with Duluth East/Elk River followed by Andover/Forest Lake at noon.
Not many better days than Section 7AA semi day in Duluth. Too bad there is no GR or CEC... could lack the usual chaotic environment this time around.
Other than double header 2AA - 6AA finals at Mariucci, which often has 4 teams in it who are all better than three of the 4 at Duluth.![]()
