I'll raise you: Why is the 2020-21 Media Guide still the only one on the Hockey page during the 2021-22 season? https://fightinghawks.com/sports/mens-ice-hockey

This says "2022 Spring" in the drop down, and both Romfos are listed so it has to be relatively new. https://fightinghawks.com/sports/football/roster

You nasty?

Is that what you kids call it these days?

I'd say 9 + 3 ... is 12

You need a better keyboard operator on your end.

His hometown is ... Denver.

I'll raise you a Frisch.

Not sure how well this is being kept up to date: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SnAo5zRTca15P0NtjXplt3_MEviK0h85QbgNmS2vxxI/edit#gid=0

Daily reminder -- An optimal size for a conference is nine that play FB and three more that do not, for twelve total. That makes 8 FB games (plus 3 non-conf) and 22 BB games (and 5-7 non-conf) per season.

I can name another FCS conference where that is true.

That face is the face of a guy who just missed a three-foot putt to lose the back nine and the 18 on a $500-Nassau.

Talk is cheap; it takes money to buy whiskey, ... and football. And Omaha doesn't have money for football.

So the MVC schools lobbied for Murray State (because they are going MVC and MVFC now). MoSt and WIU state yes votes (rest haven't responded). The MVC schools (IlSU, InSU, UNI, SIU, MoSt) plus WIU (Horizon for BB) are a majority in an 11 team league. NDSU said no. (Will that harm them with the MVC in the future?) UND (Armacost) said he's not commenting on a private vote. (I read that as a UND no vote, but he doesn't want to publicly state he disagreed with the decision; that said, I can be wrong.)

The transfer portal has done nothing but fog up my normally clear crystal ball.

The Transfer Portal: For when immediate gratification takes too long.

It's always nice when a player's mom posts here. ... Just funnin' ya @SlowHand, thanks for the info.

Looking at the map of a 12 team MVFC here, it looks like a tight footprint 8 team conference with 4 northwestern outliers. Interesting ...

After that play, at 5-0, and 5 minutes left, Zegras digs under goalie for covered puck, Jay Beagle cross-checks him down, Troy Terry tries to step in, Terry learns hard way to not get into dog fight with Beagle. My question is what and who was Kessel chirping about.

Most of RPI is in the portal right now. They have a lame duck president who has done nothing to help athletics. They’ve named the replacement, but haven’t renewed the mens hockey coach’s contract (expired 4/1). It’s a mess.

And yet they do it. What’s their secret? Depth? Conditioning? Recruiting? Because UND isn’t there yet.

The easiest way to see what a player has left is to find them at HockeyDB and count seasons played, but do NOT count 2020-21. You still only get to play four seasons but 2020-21 does NOT count as a season played for anyone.

If Daschke had two left it’s a no-brainer. But he has one. That would make me look for a two-year player for the reasons I listed before.

Radio guys said UND played 18 games from March to November of 2021, and it could’ve been more if not for games being Covid cancellations. A light spring makes sense in that perspective.
