If your best players hadn't gone pro, would your team beat BC?

Re: If your best players hadn't gone pro, would your team beat BC?

Minnesota wouldn't have beat BC even if their top players hadn't gone pro. Jerry York has more wins than the last 4 Gopher coaches combined.

So. Minnesota has more tradition. Wins and losses are irrelevant.

Not exactly true. Don Lucia has 583 wins, while Doug Woog had 390 (973 wins combined).

I do love the line from a former player... "you learn to be humble when you win."

True. You typically don't see North Dakota players Jersey popping or celebrating like they won the national championship when they win a regular season game.

Of course, perhaps if we had more tradition we could do those sort of things. :p:D:D

I don't think that happened to Dubbs when he played on the Bocce Ball Club Team at Purdue.

The point I wanted to make is that the reverse is not true. They aren't gracious in defeat.

Hmm...I seem to remember a North Dakota team giving Jerry York a stick salute when he beat North Dakota for his 700th (??) win. What a bunch of A$sholes...:p:D:D
 
Stop being silly! But to respond to your silliness.
1. No, it isn't. Notre Dame adopted Fighting Irish in 1927. North Dakota adopted Fighting Sioux in 1930.
2. No, they don't. They used the interlocking ND before Notre Dame. They also no longer use the same interlocking ND
3. No, they don't. The Indian head is quite different from the one the Blackhawks use.
4. Yes, you got one right.
5. North Dakota obviously.
6. Correct, it isn't.
7. More than any other school.

1. Proves my point more than disproves it.
2. No, Notre Dame used it before.
3. Still an indian head with a lot of similarities. Still a rip off in my book.
5. Something programs most devoid of tradition do.
7. Least in college hockey

You're right. Everyone should just shake hands and leave the ice. Wait a minute... :p

No one said that. Please try to keep up. I fully recognize UND's on ice accomplishments. Accomplishments UND fans should be proud of. However, not a program to necessarily be respected and certainly not one to be envied.
 
Re: If your best players hadn't gone pro, would your team beat BC?

Right again. Look at how often that happened all around the country. Wait again... :p

So your point is that only Minnesotans retaliate in a handshake line?

Another glowing example of Minnesota hockey tradition. :p:D:D

Exactly. Just one obviously. Which is why he was excommunicated to the vast wasteland to the west. People can't help where they were born, but that doesn't mean they have to stick around if they don't fit in to the tradition and culture.

You're right. I have no respect for 7 NCAA titles. I only respect teams that have 5 or less.

And yet, you continue to rip it off because UND is so completely devoid of tradition. Import it, slap a ripped off logo on it, then use ripped off celebrations to celebrate it's accomplishments. That's UND's way.

1. No it doesn't. Two seperate schools coming up with two different nicknames. Neither one copies the other.
2. No, they didn't.
3. Sort of like Minnesota copying Michigan's M. Or turning Wisconsin's W upside down?
5. Except UND, they can do both. Maybe if Minnesota had as much tradition, they could too!
7. I've told you numerous times stop being silly!

This is a repeat, but I believe it stands the test of time...

Maybe some of our east coast friends didn't get to see it last time.
