Why shouldn't hockey have had it? Back in the day Cal Marvin did the work to make a program. Today? Hockey is putting a quarter million butts in seats. Hockey is the reason there's any Midco television deal. Hockey earned and earns it and yes, had a big benefactor. You despise hockey, that much is clear. What is not is why. A player steal your girlfriend or something? But you are correct in one way: Where is football's "Cal Marvin" or "Ralph"? Since 1883, why hasn't that one appeared.

By your philosophy they should diminish what they allocate to hockey and put it to football.

Calling Phil a "radio guy" is correct but incomplete. Calling Tom Dosch a "radio guy" is correct but incomplete given his nearly 30 years in collegiate coaching. Frankly, when Dosch left NSU for a position at UND I had him pegged as a future DC. I'd guess his role is "mentor" now.

Calling Tom a “radio guy” Is calling Phil Hanson a “radio guy”: correct but far from complete.

I may steal that notion.

Happy to carry the same “pathetic minority sport” mindset as the Big Ten and a couple service academies.

Given who Littler’s dad is, the family knew all this before Cade announced going to UND.

“Radio guy” Tom Dosch … https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Dosch

UND ran academics and athletics this legislative cycle without a state bailout.

Dosch has a better football coaching resume than 99% of this board. He did radio color the last few years. And he was an internal hire so that’s why there were “no applicants”. And thank you Dan for the fiscal advice. Has the bailout check from the legislature to save NDSU academics cleared yet?

A long time ago a UND advisor, actually two different* in different departments, told me you can bring me any problem but also have a real solution or else you are just complaining. *both were native Walsh County boys

The SDSU move makes no sense. If gives all the power to - MWC who can tell them no extension, shove off, and pay up - PAC and BXII who can low-ball offers now that SDSU has no home Why would SDSU jam themselves up like that?

So now you're all by-the-book Mr. Safety.

Anywhere Sanford is there's a slot for competition, see: BIS and St A's; FAR and Essentia; Sioux Falls and Avera.

Back in post one you were giving monorail rides. You backing out?

Washington’s good times with the Cup will seem minor after this I have a feeling. Why? Vegas.

Bruce Cassidy was unemployed eight days. I get it now.

Yeah Vegas is a second period team … oh my …

41 games or one finals game. Lehrer only by petition.

Did not have Eichel with a Cup before McDavid on my bingo card.

If Hennessy was doing those two VGK shifts we’d have heard “men against boys”.

@SpudsSioux went 4 for 4 on forwards. @The Sicatoka went 4 of 8 on defense (best). Everyone aced the goalies. And the monorail ride goes to ... @SpudsSioux with an overall 9 of 16. PS - @SpudsSioux if @Blackheart says you can sit in the conductor's chair during the ride he means with him still in it. Caveat emptor.

Comparing UNDAA&F to NDSUF isn't the whole picture. UND also has the Aerospace Foundation supporting programs, and don't trust anything but Form 990 for data. And not "summaries"; look at the actual (IRS) Form 990.
