Hearing about Romos, I did so googling to try and check it out sometime. I'm getting a Romos on Broadway and one on 13th. Seems they are connected. I assuming the 13th one is the one to check out?

Yeah because clogging actual threads with this inevitable discussion that always comes up is a much better place. While the initial posts were joking around it was in response to it being discussed off topic in the football forums. And look how fast it came up again in the football forums sending those threads off topic (he moderated them here). Should be happy this thread exists. Not my fault its a topic UND fans like to discuss.

How much does the REA pull in on a weekend hockey game? $1.5 million before expenses?

They get to keep the profits and give UND whatever they want at the end. Renovating those hockey locker rooms and others ain't cheap.

Would have been fun to watch this season as they had their first FBS win, went through mid season adversity losing the starting qb, and then dominated opponents at the end of the season. Hockey sells out. Football could always use more marketing.

Take out the student section, and season tickets....They have sold about 65% of the single game tickets with only a couple days away? It's not like the Betty is very big to begin with.

^ Are you two the same person?

I can't believe how many tickets are still available for this game only three days away. And the silence of this "rivalry game" is deafening.

I guess those resources ran out?

Jacks 84 Gophers 70

Yup. Take it here:

Well the top three teams in the country reside in the east right now.

Back to Back Championships for Denver. Ending UND's season both those years. One vs Hak. One vs Blais. Hak never took his own "recruited players as a head coach" to a National Championship game.

Yeah my bad. No college hockey team is ever the same from year to year. That "variable" is constant. There's another contradiction (or is that an oxymoron) for ya.

Huh? The "talking points" are from watching hockey over the years. Not from the "experts" here on this site. You didn't have to pay that close attention to know Zane was awesome and left early and nobody behind him barely played. You didn't have to pay that close attention to know UND lost a lot of scoring and replaced them with freshman. It is a huge surprise. Virtually nobody saw this coming. There was a lot of unknowns coming into this season. That's probably why they were picked third in the league. UND is doing great. I hope they keep it up. There was only one variable that was replaced. I answered a question if this team would probably have the same record with Hak. I answered with pretty well thought out points of how Hakstol had a lot of years and more talented teams to try and never started a season like this. Some think its pure coincidence and that's just as silly. That isn't to say this team could loss in the first round and Hak could have gotten to the Frozen Four again. Maybe Berry peaks early in the season and Hak's were later in the season. We don't know. We do know peaking later in the season is better than peaking early. Years from now someone might ask "Do Berry's teams peak too early in the season?" That answer could possibly be yes. But we sure hope not. I don't remember a year we didn't think oh "this might be the year Hak gets the monkey off his back." But I agree I never said anything about dump and chase.

Reading comprehension getting in the way again? LOL I've never said one thing about "dump and chase."

I thought this team was suppose to be very young and inexperienced with a crap load of freshman and possible a rebuilding year since UND lost half of its scoring from last year. That was the conscious going into the season from most. I know we have short memories and all but UND just lot its best goalie in school history ( UND’s all-time leader in career goals against average (2.10) and save percentage (.926) and replaced it with one that had virtually no college playing experience. UND was selected to finish 3rd in the league this year (also known as a UND rebuilding year). Where they could very well end up. Anything above that and they are exceeding expectations.

Gopher fans would never hear the end of it.

What would be better? UND beating Sam Houston State for a FCS Championship? Or UND beating the Gophers in the Quick Lane Bowl in Detroit?

Our post season excitement will only be at its peak when we beat NDSU.

UND beat Portland State. and UNI beat Portland State. .....all three teams are good football teams. Thats all you need to know.

Thats an easy one. No. Hak had more years to do it than I can count with more talented teams but never did. Its just pure coincidence its happening this year. With that said Hakstol peaked in his first season as head coach. Let's hope its not the same for Berry.

I caught the OT of Minnesota vs Ohio State. Instead of being like dang we need OT to beat a 3-10 Ohio State team both nights... Minnesota jumped on each other and celebrated like they won the National Championship. I almost feel bad for Minnesota for how far their expectations have fallen.

Can the real season start yet?

Radio announcer for und ripping on und for being dumb with this lead under a minute left. technical for hanging on rim and fouling Bradley on a three. Looks like UND is gonna win.
