      Little Diane Wendt story: was in the Arena doing some canned PBP. UNO was organizing their program and my station was planning to bid on the broadcasts. We knew each other from my alumni activities. When I told here about UNO, she began to speak approvingly of Cajun cooking and Mardi Gras. No dear, the other UNO.

        Last time his name came up didn't somebody (you?) provide a link showing that old Ron's running an adult skating program at some rink somewhere? Or maybe a chicken inspector for Colonel Sanders?

          Well we're not using it anymore, so have at it. But there might be a college sports governing body that might not approve.

As they should, UND hockey partisans will always proclaim their team to be the Fighting Sioux.
          I'm afraid you may be wrong about this. It will take several years, but after they adopt some new lame nickname, people will slowly let the Fighting Sioux heritage die. Like what DU has and is going through with Boone, it sucks.
          Believe it. Earn it. Raise it.

            Hey Seattle, Maybe you'll be right on that score, but I expect it to be a long time before UND fans come to Magness Arena and stop yelling "Let's Go Sioux" every other line change.

                    I'm a big believer in "Grassroots Projects."

                    USCHO, LetsGoDU, Boone mascot, t-shirt giveaways, pre-game events, building/supporting the student section, 50/50 Raffles, hockey roadtrips, ect. are all examples of things that have built PioNation into what it is today. Volunteer efforts that have impacted the university culture.

                    Writing emails to the Alumni Association isn't going to sway anyone's opinion over at DU, but it may convince the administration to work a lot harder to find a WIN/WIN solution to this mess they've created. And no matter what side of the issue you're on, that's a good thing.

                    The mascot project has been yanked out of the hands of the Student Task Force and handed over to the DU Marketing & Communications Department to see if they can get the project moving forward.

                    Now DU has sent the email to the alumni to presumably "test the temperature of the water." The choice is clear, reply to the email and voice your opinion, or stick your head in the sand and let them come up with their "Flub-A-Dub."

                        Whatever mascot is selected, Coombe still needs buy-in from Athletics and then he'll need it run it by the Board of Trustees. So if they come up with something stupid, its going to end up making him look bad.

                        So anyone in the administration who thought this process was going to be easy was very niave

                          But zero input on the big decision: dumping Boone. At some point, after the various poobahs have created a list of finalists, students and perhaps alumni will get a chance to "vote." Rather like condemned men in Utah, who get to "vote," selecting between lethal injection and the firing squad.

                          This is a conversation I would much prefer to have on the blog. But you know why that's not happening.

                              Maryland put on that little run coming down the stretch and DU just couldn't match it. They went very cold. A great season. Maybe the greatest in DU history.
