In that scenario, they wouldn't have Nebraska either.

Based on the @Siouxperfan7simple analysis, nothing's gonna change. East teams aren't going to vote for it. And they'll keep voting for regional locations like this year: Albany NY, Worchester MA, Allentown PA. They'll say "that's three states!" Compare Albany/Allentown/Worchester to Grand Forks/Fargo/Minot. You see it. Those three regional site would all fit within North Dakota. Straight line trip between either three is nearly identical.

You know the puck luck is coming your way when you get an assist ... reading Twitter.

I'd be happy with worst to ... not worst.

My concern here is Kyle Doperalski has announced he's taking a job in Kansas on July 1. He's been media point-guy for Athletics for a while. If UND Athletics plans on doing it itself, who'll be in charge? Or will REA be the marketing face for everything and act sort of like Learfield did in the past.

Like I said before, paying Learfield, and REA, and whichever other entities, to do it is overhead charges for each. Consolidating and going to the model Nebraska went back to is worth a try to simplify, cut out a middle man, and save overhead charges.

Just hear about that?

Geez, at least in pro sports when a free agent says they're going somewhere they sign a deal and don't bounce again just weeks later.

HEY! You can't go spoutin' off with reality like that or you'll trigger "certain other" fans that lurk about.

Why ... when they can spend it on more stuff for the football program.

The larger media story: UND is taking back control of marketing its media rights. https://www.inforum.com/sports/mcfeely-blog-und-will-sever-ties-with-learfield-handle-its-own-multimedia-rights-deals Paying Learfield, and REA, and whichever other entities, to do it is overhead charges for each.

Bossy, now Lefleur. Rough stretch for some greats.

That's the model they used when they bought a parcel along I-94 on the Fargo/West Fargo line about a decade ago. Today it's a 10-story hospital with a specialty center planned for next to it.

Shhh!!! .... dammit ... shhhh!!!!

Someone must've heard me. @UNDmhockey just tweeted a "Louie Louie".

Past outcomes don't impact future results. If you should win 30% on average you'll win 30%. Four seeds are winning 37%. There's an outside factor in play raising the expected 30%. What is it? A reasonable idea beyond 'empty rink' is clear: Look past. UMn had a case of it vs Holy Cross (knowing UND and UMi were in the building).

And now a Michigan recruit (Fin Williams) is trading one ugly helmet for another. <-- Bad omen for Mel?

UMKC. Clemson. UMKC. Clemson. ... hmmm ... check please!

I know a guy who was at that game. He believes that experience, that humbling hard pounding by UND as he called it, toughened up RPI for their 1985 run.
