    I guess chuckles (can I call him that, charliefunny is kinda long) hasn't heard of a "recruiting pipeline". That list is everyone in the pipeline and many, when they said they're going to UND, have already said it's for 2018, 2019, or beyond. Based on what we know now, at minimum expect four forwards and two defense.

    You're assuming Jack will work for UND. Are we sure he wasn't approved by UND to be their radio voice but will work for Learfield? Normally when you contract broadcast rights out you retain final say on who you'll accept to be the voice.

    Rick, buddy, we've talked about this: You may have a face for radio, but you have a voice for print.

    Who does Learfield Sports work with today? Well, dare I say most of the big conferences: the Big West, the Big Sky, the Big 12, the Big Ten. http://learfieldsports.com/university-partners/http://learfieldsports.com/university-partners/ One more thought, at random: Learfield and SiriuxXM have agreements for broadcasting.

    Lost in the recent events capturing the attention of UND fans is this: http://undhockey.areavoices.com/?p=103096 I guess I knew Learfield was involved in licensing for UND (via Learfield Licensing), but it seems Learfield is on track to (has?) taken over "UND Athletics’ exclusive multimedia rights": http://learfieldsports.com/university-partners/und-sports-properties/ And now per Schlossman that seems to include radio. The smartest thing they could do is, as Schlossman says, get Tim Hennessy.

    This tournament looks like the old Schembeckler/Hayes era of Big Ten Football, aka the Big Two and the rest.

    I'm surprised the guy isn't advocating building a football stadium at I-29 and Highway 200. Having said that, "Siouan" please review the board/forum rules, specifically those about trolling. You're showing.

    Was he waiting for Pooly?

    So, what if the 1987 Hrkac Circus played the 2016 CBS crew? What if the game was in the new REA? What if the game was in the old REA? What if Ditka drove the '87 team to the rink (either rink) in a school bus? ---> "Da ...Hawks!" < /my best "Bill Swerski" impression >

    You? I pick my own color guy for my play-by-play.

    I don't know. How about you ask these folks.

    The sleeper committee would've subpoenaed my records and found that I actually considered Simmonds for my main squad.
  17. The Sicatoka
    Yeah, I probably would have had to go to the sleeper committee for approval on that one.

    Going strictly by memory here, but I believe Tim's first season broadcasting was where he had to watch the Evil M beat Gino's team in the National Championship. However, a year later he was broadcasting Gino's first title (1980). Think about that: Tim's been on the road every winter the UND hockey team for over 35 years. He's broadcast UND winning six of the eight titles, titles that now span seven decades. If Tim wants to step back a bit and spend some time with his wife and boys, I can't blame him. Hey, he's earned it. However, can I ask that if Tim is looking to slow down can he take the Vin Scully approach? Let someone else go on the road most of the time, but keep doing home games, or maybe television.

    Under the heading of team: Why this team should not have won a title: eleven freshmen <-- think about that ... and smile. Why this team should have won a title: stout, veteran defense; CBS line Under the heading of coaching: Why this team should not have won a title: first year head coach Why this team should have won a title: Brad Berry and his whole demeanor and approach I'll say it again: Thank you ... Dave Hakstol ... for daring to make an easily questioned (and vastly unpopular in some quarters) move to bring Brad back. And thank you Brad Berry for executing the philosophy ("RAISE IT!") and exorcising the demons.

    I was so hoping it was a DB monitoring a no passing zone ...

    I can't believe I didn't put Wayne Simmonds on this squad. < facepalm >

    Those two posts sum up my thoughts: An endowment, a very large (no annual issues) endowment. Nothing less.
  23. The Sicatoka
    Based on today's Herald article, probably ... Want baseball? Endow it. Let's see, .... about a $600k annual budget. At 4% endowment return that means you'd need to raise about $15,000,000.00. Talk is cheap; it takes money to buy whiskey.

    First, isn't teaching you about the world (the people you'll meet and the things you'll see) mom's and dad's responsibility? Can I still say "mom" or "dad" or is that not accepting of the diversity of someone with two moms or three dads? Next, why isn't diversity of thought or opinion to be embraced? Where's that on the old "embrace diversity" list? Or is it just the right kind of diversity to be embraced? I said it to PCM over a decade ago and I'll say it again: Some of the biggest bigots I've met are the anti-bigot bigots.

    Many wondered what Hak was doing (questioned) when he didn't renew Eades and then wrote a fairly specific job posting that pointed to basically Brad Berry. I'd say the only smudge on Hak's collegiate resume is Frozen Four performances; however, Hak can lay claim to setting the right man in place to overcome that.
