The Sicatoka

I was in there in February.

I hope they remember a 1-0 loss to DU on CC's ice. I hope they remember it every time they look up at a scoreboard. I hope they remember that they can't depend on someone else to get it done. I hope they remember that night and I hope it hurts. I hope they use that memory as motivation to not let it happen again. There's unfinished business that a team, not a couple of marquee name guys, a team needs to deal with.

Banned from Bisonville? Sounds like the name of an HBO or Showtime series. So what'd you do? Did you not drink all of your Bisonville "yellow" kool-aid and start to think independently so they had to excommunicate you? You should know better than to disagree with 'the party line' over there, even if your handle is "bisonfan". PS - Most people make the mistake of saying "marble" instead of "granite".

Let's see how smart this was: Ziggy could have either (a) stayed in GF, redshirted, and been #2 or #3 next year at UND or (b) gone to Duluth, have to sit this year, and been #2 or #3 next year at UMD. I'm not exactly seeing what he gained for himself.

Avoid the ice level areas behind the nets.

Back to the topic of this thread: Delta State 28 <--- helps UND's strength of schedule North Alabama 21 Eastern Washington 39 Central Washington 8 <--- loses to a DI-AA, but scores on them

A nice package for the future should be in place when you come back. Turkey and taco meat.

There's no "AA" in womens basketball. UConn, Tennessee, and a host of other DIs will keep that from happening for a long, long time.

You're living here. Personally, I prefer to look at Sioux hockey this way:

cfm: Everyone seems to be screwing things up. http://board.uscho.com/showthread.php?t=41728

All I know is that the lower bowl portion of the student section at REA had better be full night in and night out. It looks better on TV that way. Plus, if it's not, someone at REA just might start to pencil those in as "Coaches Club". Someone clearly needs to go ask some questions of Student Gov't as to why this "lottery" when they had worked on a "system" all summer.

cfm: This was Student Government controlled, not REA. I asked these same questions at USCHO: One response was that "fair weather fans" got tickets in the lower bowl and some "real, good fans" will have to sit in the upper. How do we know that? Consider my USCHO response to that:

The X is the better arena (i.e. capacity). As a side note, I've been in the third deck of The X watching a game. The players look bigger on a television screen. The Ralph is the better overall facility (arena, training spaces, additional spaces available). PS - Marble is soft. Those floors are granite.

What would one call a North Dakota professional hockey team? How about "Stanley Cup Champions"?

You mean .... a school scheduled an athletic program based on a post-season formula?

Fraction-wise about the same fraction of college hockey teams have a real shot at a national title as the fraction of DI football teams that have a real shot at a BCS title. Fraction-wise, it's probably the same for college basketball as college hockey also. (Who's picking IUPUI to win the Final Four? Alabama-Huntsville in the Frozen Four? Louisiana-Monroe for the BCS?) It's almost a requirement to be near the top in a top conference or you won't be strong enough to get it done. As far as arenas, when former (arch-rival) Gopher, NHLer, and US Olympian, Neil Broten says, "I've been in a lot of rinks, and there isn't any better than this," you know it's probably the best anywhere.

GF Herald story on enrollment numbers. Key notes from it: - UND has about 820 distance learners enrolled this fall, including 42 students who attend classes in UND's Fargo Center. - UND does not include in its count about 300 aviation students who take classes through the John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences at satellite programs around the country. - Kupchella stresses that UND serves as many as 11,000 more people over its total head count, in some way or another, through the school's continuing education division.

It's been answered (correctly) twice so far, but I'll do it a different way: Century Club membership became required.

I just ran the numbers for the various levels of FSC and what you pay "per seat" if you buy the maximum number of hockey tickets each level of membership lets you buy. For example: Coaches Club: $1100 + (2 full price @ $345) + (2 reduced price @ 3/4 of $345) = $2307.5 or $576.88 per seat. Here are the numbers per seat for each level (level fee, full price tickets, reduced price tickets, number of parking passes included): Diamond: $1218.54 ($11000, 6, 6, 3) Emerald: $760.21 ($5500, 6, 6, 3) Directors: $645.63 ($2750, 4, 4, 2) Coaches: $576.88 ($1100, 2, 2, 1) Captains: $675.00 ($660, 2, 0, 0) Varsity: $510.00 ($330, 2, 0, 0) Century: $400.00 ($110, 2, 0, 0) I looked at Club Room Seating this summer. If I remember correctly, it was $1350.00 ... per seat. EDIT: Added in level fee costs to table.

You mean a school scheduled an athletic program based on what would be best for that program in terms of a post-season formula?

Let's flip this around: What do you tell folks who paid serious bucks for club seating who can't even get from their seat to the bar during a period break? Alternatively, I hope they thought this one through regarding the folks that sit behind the Sioux bench (levels above Coaches Club).

I was looking at the wrong thing when I spoke the first time. They do have a level designation on them.

I'd say someone else read their UND pocket all-sports schedule. Brag away!
