  1. There are 16 core sports in the Big Sky, plus one for hockey, bringing us to 17.

    The Summit has 17 core sports, plus one for a football affiliate, and one for hockey, bring us to 19.

     

    Wouldn't moving to the Summit make more problems by adding more core sports, and ultimately more expense? Or wouldn't UND have to carry all Summit core sports, if the move was made?

    Someone chime in here but I think the untouchable sports are: M Hockey, Football, M&W Basketball, Volleyball. 

    Everything else should be on the table for debate. We still have too many sports at 19. Texas has 18 and one of the largest athletic budgets around. 

    Does the investment they made in the HPC keep M & W Track and Field safe? Maybe cross county piggy backs off of T & F, being so closely related?

  3. John Buccigross Tweeted his CawlidgeHawkey preseason top ten. Gave a lot of love to the NCHC, with UND in the #1 spot. I was surprised to see two Big Ten teams on the list. Here is the list with his commentary about each team

    1.North Dakota - Tyson Jost (Avalanch #1 pick) joins @BBoeser16, good D, & a goalie

    2. Boston U - Cue The Verve Pipe. @CMcAvoy44 has Hobey Baker potential

    3. Denver - Trevor Moore's summer signing with Leafs hurts

    4. Duluth - No comment

    5. St. Cloud - Twins, Jack & Nick Poehling with brother Ryan form "Bro Line"

    6. Minnesota - From almost a buyout to extension for Lucia

    7. Yale - Kevin Stevens son, Luke, is wagon material. Incoming Freshman

    8. Boston College - Colin White (@Senators 1st rounder) could be in 60pt territory

    9. Providence - Scout: "I think Providence has a chance to be really good"

    10.Notre Dame - No comment

    We can agree to disagree.  MAF has had more playoff issues than just 2012.  It goes back to the 2004 WJC where he let in a softie from the blue line to tie the game in the third and ended up putting the puck in his own net for the winner.  I know stats don't always tell the whole story but MAF save % for the 4 years after the 2009 cup were .891, .899, .834, and .883.  In his two years in Wilkes Barre, he was pulled half way through the playoffs in both years and replaced by a non-prospect veteran.  His save % in those two years were .843 and .883.  I do have to give him credit for 2014 and 2015 playoffs, he played solid and the lack of scoring hurt the team.  Also, he played as well as he ever during the 2015-2016 regular season.

    Murray's save % for the playoffs was .923.  This after he posted stellar number in both regular season and playoffs in WBS.   Also, Murray is not just a guy who played above his level at a good time, there have been whispers for the past year that he could be the next thing in the NHL as far as goalies go.  That is how he is perceived in the organization.  Time will tell whether there is any truth to this school of thought.

    Stats aside, the choice depends on your philosophy on goaltending.  MAF will make spectacular saves but let a fluttering puck from the point get past him.  Murray plays at a more even keel. 

    Considering the age difference in age and salary, I would go with Murray.

    Great take, and what a "Great Goalie Mind". I have a theory. You must be an Engineer per your username. You must be a goalie to throw down analysis like that. So are you Matt Hrynkiw !?!?

    I see the owners of Subway in GF are all in on the new nickname and want to do their part.  On a billboard on I 29 near Argusville I saw where you buy one 6" sub and a drink and get a second 6" sub free...all you have to do is tell the cashier "Fighting Hawks".  I thought that was pretty interesting.

    I'll pay for my second 6 incher, thank you. :p

    bemidji the town is nicer - Bemidji has the lake but other than that Mankato is closer to the twin cities which is nice for alumni that live in the cities area. Addtionally Verizon wirless center is walking distance from a ton of bars, restaurants and hotels.You can sit down get pizza and a pitcher of Organ grinder beer at Pagliai's Pizza and be in the arena in less than 5 mins.

    JJ's Dockside is literally contiguous with the Sanford Center. Was there over the 4th and looked like it would be a blast before a game. Other walkable places are Corner Bar, Keith's Old River Pizza Co., Green Mill, etc..  I haven't been to Mankato, so couldn't compare, but Bemidji is more than just the lake.

    That would play into Champion's club donations. We'll have to stop games halfway through  the period for ...

    "well isn't this hockey game just exciting?"   "It sure is, Tim, and you know, it wouldn't be possible without support from all our wonderful viewers out there.."

    I'm not sure how many viewers Tim has... :D But I see what you're getting at.

  9. I had season tickets for the Viking for two years. Immigrant Song is such a sweet intro song. If I'm watching the Vikes at home on TV I'll still play it on my phone to get pumped up. Does the Alerus play the same intro song? If they do, it must suck, because I've had season tickets for 5 years and couldn't tell you what it is. If my memory serves me correct doesn't the PA announce "here comes the University of North Dakota!" followed by the band? Not terrible, but doesn't do much for me.

  10. Disclaimer: I'm not a Basketball guy. Last night was my first game I've attended since the Montana game in 2014, but I'll "jump in the paint" and give my take from what I saw.

     

    The Game: Its well documented UND didn't have a great start and Waldorf played with UND the first half. While I was a little disappointed UND didn't play with the same fire was Waldorf, I think its pretty common for an opponent from a lesser division coming out swinging. Its the clichéd "it was there super bowl". With that said and also previously commented, UND came out and played much better in the second half. I thought they ramped up their defensive intensity and Waldorf couldn't keep up with the tempo. Shot started falling for UND as well. In the end, UND took care of business, but it would have been nice to see them ready from the tip.

     

    The Players: I haven't seen Hooker since his freshman season and I think he has matured well. His command, composure, and vision, I thought, were impressive and improved. Crandall didn't flash to me, until the second half, when his skill and potential became evident. Obviously still a little raw, but someone to be excited to have. I was told to watch for Seales, but hardly noticed anything from him last night, he only played 16 minutes. Juries out on that one. The Big Men weren't too impressive and seemed like that might be a  weakness going into Big Sky play. Avants got rolling a little offensively late in the game, but when Hooker is on top of the box score with 7 boards, it seems a little backwards to me. Where is Cashman? I thought I had heard a lot of hype on him when he while he was being recruited.  

     

    The Coach: Did a nice job tweaking the game plan and half, the players came out with new energy and seemed to execute the game play. Would be nice to start at the opening jump ball. His deficiencies are well documented and I can't say I disagree with them. During the game I couldn't look his way during the game. His body language was bothersome, always seemed to be whining about something.

     

    I had fun at the game and would like to go to another, preferable a Big Sky opponent.

  11. Came across a couple tickets to tonight's game so I'm going to give it a go. I haven't been to a game since 13-14 season when Josh Schuler, Aaron Anderson, Jaron Nash, and  Troy Huff were playing. I'm assuming lots has changed and I know everyone's down on Jones, but who should I watch for tonight?
