But you have to run them also to keep the defenses honest. Why start Gee? To make the defense cover everything and to allow the OL to beat on the opposing DL for a few plays and still have a fresh power back.

Um ... UND finished second in the final USCHO poll last spring to an ECB* team (Cornell). Still trying to decipher that one. There's no reason to think a #1 in a poll won't get seeded lower than an ECB team like BC or BU come season's end and tourney time. Or if it's UND UMn 1-2 they'd love to seed the moldin' rodents over the NCHC to acknowledge the great and lofty battles survived in the B1G. Snarky? Cynical? Yup, and yup. But when you're the most binary team (you love 'em or you hate 'em) in college hockey it comes around and happens far too often. *East Coast Bias

No substitutions. You wanna go grinder it's upcharge, bay-bee.

That and $5 will get you a foot long ham sandwich at Subway. The only "poll" that matters is the "pole" you raise a banner on.

That is a screwy schedule. I don't understand why the Thursday night timeslot.

That is doing NDSU things to NDSU.

No to be a wet blanket (which means I'm about to be): Everything UND has done to date only ensures a 2-6 season at worst. Lots and lots of work left to do.

On NDSU's last play of first half (the jump ball that worked) it looked like the QB put everything, and I mean everything, he had to launch that ball ... 40 yards. (Box score calls it a 37 yard TD.) That just doesn't seem right.

Which means it's time to start looking at OL and RBs.

He drops NDSU to 10? Um-yeah-no.

Good call. They missed an opportunity.

Agree. The PWR in hockey is not trustworthy until second half of the season.

Drill into UND’s schedule at Massey; his system says we’ve defeated numbers 5 and 9 with 6 coming in. Strength of schedule has to be a big factor.

Sweet Jesus! #1 in FCS and #1 in hockey ... at the same time. < faints > https://www.masseyratings.com/ch/ncaa-d1/ratings https://www.masseyratings.com/cf/fcs/ratings But it don’t mean squat. You have to keep winning.

If Tommy is a relatively boring game manager that just wins games my only comment is ... OK. I’m good.

I want this UND team to get better and better each week.

Hasenpfeffer!!!

Looked at Foolem... no hockey involving male teams from ND at HS or collegiate level apparently either.

Would that be deemed ... a big 'mack attack?

... this year especially.

Next you'll let it slip that UND's offense is actively trying to score touchdowns. Geez dude, whose side you on?

We now take you live to Goon in his car after hearing this ...

Oooh! ... Shiny ...

Same number as Mr. Blutarsky's GPA: "Zero point zero."

The Beaver goalie got a tripping minor for being in his own blue paint and getting kicked in the groin by a Maverick. The NCHC and WCHA must share officials.
