  • Re: RPI 2010-2011 VI- Red Dead Redemption

    One thing that I wanted to add (and sorry if it has been mentioned before) is that Seth Appert was on the DU bench in 2004. That season, Denver lost in the First Round of the WCHA Tournament, crept into the NCAA Tournament, and then got on fire and won it all. I'm not saying that RPI is going to win it all this year (they very well could), but Appert definitely has experience with this particular situation that his team is in. I think RPI will come out strong and give UND everything that they can handle.

    Also, watching how UND has handled itself over the past few weekends, I don't think they will be overlooking anyone this year. Expect North Dakota to be as strong as advertised. Saying that, you still owe us from '84, so I just hope we don't get stonewalled by a great goaltending performance. Jon Casey isn't your goalie, correct?

      No, but Allen York has been known to steal games against #1 teams.
      Keep an open mind. Just don't be so open-minded that your brain falls out.

          If the past is any indication, there will be a HUGE fan turnout for UND

            Why is Appert asking Gwoz about CC?

              For once, I have to agree with you. Although likely, it isn't even clear that his family once spelled the name with an umlaut. My family did not spell Baer as Bär in the 20th and late 19th century in Germany.

                  Let me help everyone out with the umlaut situation.

                  The replacement of ä, ö and ü with ae, oe and ue are for situations where one can not actually make an umlaut, particularly with typewriters (if they still exist) and some computer applications. It does not mean they are identical. More importantly, one can not assume that when seeing a German word with ae, oe or ue that one can back-transcribe it to ä, ö and ü. The back-transcription can only occur if the original word was spelled that way! There are words with these combinations (for example, Sauerkraut) which can not use an umlaut because the u and e are part of different syllables. Everything starting with Que as well. Then there are some words that just don't use an umlaut for historic reasons.

                  With personal names, it is possible for some people to use an umlaut and others not. Krueger and Krüger are pronounced the same and would both be typed Krueger if one can not use umlauts, but it would be incorrect to write by hand Krüger if a person's name was really Krueger. It would be equivalent to using Curt as my first name. Same pronunciation, different spelling, so wrong.

                  Bottom line: If Burgdoerfer is the family's name, then to write Burgdörfer is incorrect.

                            I'll add that my family name was spelled many different ways between 1809, when Jews living in Baden were required to adopt family names, and the 1870's when things seem to have settled down. Besides for Baer and Bär, this includes Behr, Bäär, Beer, and Böhr, not to mention three different ways using Hebrew characters. Clearly, I have inherited the trait of random spellings in my posts.

                            Sorry for going completely off topic.

                              This is starting to get Böhr-ing! Can we move on to when and where the esset is appropriate?

                                So, how bout dem RPI-UND game? Regardless of the name spelling of anyone, I certainly hope that practices will be going very well for the next few days.
