Where was this listed? The game times are made public after both matchups are set. The Frozen Four doesn't have much marketing ability for ESPN, as it's thrown in with a few other NCAA Championships when ESPN signs the TV contract. Do they want to maximize viewership? Of course. Do they understand they're not going to be talking about a huge increase based on matchups? Yes.

This is why I love BC fans. You are all *******s, but at least you're fun to banter with back and forth and not delusional. :p:D:D

The Minnesota fans on this site used to be the same way...until about 2-3 years ago.

This is why people will gravitate towards BC, the Hostile and Abusives and #26 Union.

In all seriousness, explaining my co-workers why UND no longer has a nickname was one of the highlights of my morning.

"Call me Ishmael..."

Try explaining it almost every time one goes out (I live in Colorado) wearing a Sioux shirt some asshat stops and questions about it like they never knew. I usually just respond to them that they are still called the Sioux, and if they fight me on it, I ask why they asked me questions in the first place. It usually gets them to shut up and go on their way. If they are genuinely curious, I will take the time to explain.

Speaking of genuine curiosity, did the school set any timeline for a new nickname? Heard the suggestion of the "Jets" floating around (because of aviation school). Thought that was an intriguing idea.

Actually Jets is because the number of African-Americans who attend/are alums of UND. Want to relate to the magazine Jet.
