Did you steal that line from UND's first round matchups from the last decade or so?

You think? I think I'm the tall guy in the back next to the sign pole wearing a cap.

That rule doesn't apply at a neutral court luckily.

Dude it's hoops44, don't take him seriously. He obviously has an agenda.

Off topic, but I could see the Summit League becoming quite the contender going forward. The Bison have raised all boats in the MVFC, and now we are seeing that with the Dakota's in the Summit league (as the Bison already have a first round NCAA win in its short history).

Also led the nation in the quarterfinal sessions with over 9,800. Big Ten drew 6,600 in theirs.

If I heard right, Idaho State going for it's first ever win vs UND.

8,000 for the womens championship in Sioux Falls. Leads all of D1.

Nobody elses' webcast quality is really bad? When the games are actually on the quality with eversport is usually pretty good.

Preaching to some of UND's most hard core sports fans probably isn't the best place to start. We arguably care about the programs the most and want what's best for UND (and some believe a coaching change is it).

Seasons on the line and this is how you play?

None. I'm not trying to score points.

Ouch. And that's missing the NCAA tournament this year.

That doesn't differentiate from #3. Of which st cloud (if #2) goes to St paul. So basically only two ways to go to St Paul more than likely. #1 overall and gophers stay home or #2 overall.

Or need to drop to #2.

Not sure what you're trying to get at but I'll say sure. But the Alerus can't sell 4,000 SRO tickets to actual people though. I'm sure there's a limit to the number of people that can attend a UND football game thanks to "code." Unless of course it was still under capacity with those 4,000 people but wouldn't that be counterproductive to your point of trying to get over 15,000. I believe, its usually its a "foundation" that buys all the "unused" tickets at the reduced rate, and they were 4,000 tickets "to the game" yet had to watch it on TV in the Ballroom.

Here's what you should have said: The Big Ten sucks (and not just competitively) because no one wants to only play five other teams all year long, with each one a guaranteed four games against each. If the NCHC can get six out of eight teams in the national tournament (last year), the Big Ten could get four (in the current format). Its about winning games not how many teams are in the conference.

So all you did was agree with me and describe how schedules usually work in college hockey (which I'm aware of)?

I think they call that SRO. Good try, and probably been tried, and that's why the rules state a 1/3 of highest regular tickets.

But the same number of hockey games will be played. Currently the Big Ten could schedule any cupcake they wanted. All this does is take those nonconference games and turns them into guarantee games every year. If CC and Western wasn't in the NCHC, UND would just schedule Uconn and Anchorage instead. What I'm hearing is it'll make the Big Ten "look more respectable."

Maybe Notre Dame would say "Heck lets move conferences too."

CC be like "Let's get this season over already. Its getting warm outside..."Fore!"

This way the conference can get splits with ASU and UConn instead of getting swept by UMD and SCSU.

Not to mention, free booze and apps for a couple hours.

The hockey team has gotten a few of those over the years.
