You're figuring just ticket sales. Did you forget that to have four seats in the lower bowl of REA you have to join the Fighting Sioux club at the Coaches Club level ($1100 per year)? Four in the lower at REA: $1100 FSC membership $345 $345 $345 * 2/3 (Coaches club discount) $345 * 2/3 (Coaches club discount) At that, the per seat price for over half the lower bowl jumps to $562.50. You have to be a FSC member for most of the upper also, but not at the $1100 level, but there is no "club level" seat price discount up there either. UND hockey is the UND Athletics cash-cow. Alternatively, imagine trying to fund a football program with just one home gate.

Remember: Profits of Ralph Engelstad Arena end up going back to UND Athletics. Ticket sales Concessions The Arena Pro Shop

I see them as mutually exclusive: "smack board" or "having a life." Sioux fans don't have smack boards.

... Duluth, Omaha ... All are "cash cow"-ing (or at least holding their own fiscally) for their schools. Not many specific programs can say they pay their own way at the gate (meaning UND hockey or Minnesota mens basketball for examples).

Story on Rory Manke that also mentions Ross Brennan and Shad Carney have returned. Getting Brennan back helps the defensive line right now. Getting Carney back replaces Joe Wilson (and who knows, maybe more).

Indubitably.

Did you ever bolt from law enforcement at a traffic stop?

Be nice. You don't know any of that. In an unrelated note, from WDAY-AM Radio (Voice of the Bison):

Off-season? We go from an amazing run to the DII National Championship football game straight into a #1 DI college hockey ranking. There is no "off-season" for UND fans. It's all good.

They remember Montana. They forget UC-Davis 23, NDSU 14 (in the FargoDome no less). They forget UND 28, NDSU 21.

Yet you're way over here. You contradict yourself.

Bigger? Enrollment-wise? No. Division I National Championships-wise? No. Ego-wise? No comment.

Some words on Rory Manke from the Fargo Forum's Prep All-Stars.

I don't see where I said "worthless." I just pointed out that everything isn't rosy in their world either.

And here I thought life was wine and roses in the land of DIAA, especially the Big Sky Conference.

This site is reporting it. Remember, UND can not say anything about a recruit until they have a signed letter of intent from them.

FieldTurf?

Really?

Yo, "Sergei" Guess who's comin' to Grand Forks to do the DU at UND series next weekend. Hint: Get Smart.

Those are called "steaks." Lack of rioting is called "civilized behaviour."
