NO, reason - last years defense vs this years

You have my blessing! We need all the support we can get this season. Thank You, in advance.

Think you 2 are onto a very close friend of Tomek here, which most likely has an eastern European accent, by the writing. That's all good, many people in this region have ancestors from there.

If we can win tonight, this season is still very doable.

I hope Tomek does well and therefore you have many more posts here.

We had a milk pail!

We win tomorrow and we are still waltzing towards Fargo.

Something positive, this game should of went into overtime, we let some easy goals in.

That was quite the miss, good for re-plays down the road.

Arena is a little nicer.

Dave, posters here are tired of your stuff, just go back to gopherville.

Puck was shot behind the goal line, hit inside of goalie arm, ricochet in.

Then, that's a hat trick to start the season!

Aboslutely, sports also bring a value to the University that doesn't show u on that A. Dept. spreadsheet.

Go to your quack in Canada.

I'm in your section, great seats, really looking forward to this season. Hope Bye-son keeping sliding!!!!!!!!!!! Big brother gonna get them here in the future. Both the SD's put a smile on my face in the last 17 months.

Ralph most likely was not a part of that. When the U's group & Ralphs team formed the plan to make the U 's MH one of the best, WH was in that plan.

The dream about the palace was all about MH and make $.. There was a group of very smart people (including Raplh) that visited the best rinks in the country and had very productive meetings. They gathered information (which included a must to start WH, cuz of Title IX & other reasons, to protect MH), and moved forward with a 30 year plan for UND Hockey, and The Raplh was built. There could be a book written about this, I'm trying to do it in a paragraph. 16 years later we have fans (not UND) talking about cutting WH.

Here is the attendance #'s for 2016 FCS season. http://stats.ncaa.org/reports/attendance?id=15140

I'm also not lobbying for WH, although it may seem to some on this board that I am, because I've been making many comments about why we will continue to have WH. And I'll add, that I do not mind that we have WH. UND funds both Hockey teams at the highest levels with the big schools in the NCAA, top level of Div I. They share near the best building and facilities within. UND isn’t even close to that type of support for any other sport. Hypothetical again: If UND cut WH, I would think to stay compliant with Title IX, they would have to choose a women’s sport and fund it comparably with the best in the country. That would be funding that sport at the caliber of the top funding Universities in that particular sport, including building and facilities within. We don't have the $ to make that happen. WH was in the plans from Day 1 with the palace and will not be chopped. It's part of the big plan for 14 more years.

Great day for UND FB, These boys will be helping us busting our way into the MVFC.

So, if Pres. Kennedy was given bad info, he sound have it figured out by now, and then WH will be on the next short list.

Title IX is part of the equation. Especially when your funding a Div I sport to maximum like the big U's do in MH & WH. This would of also been mentioned in the briefing to Pres. Kennedy. Concerts vs. cutting WH, that's new to the argument.

It's above them, or Pres. Kennedy would of had WH on the short list a couple months ago. An accountant looking at the numbers would say cut WH. A fund raiser from the alumni office would say keep WH. A new Pres. after being briefed on The Raplh Engelstad Arena and the non-profit corporation running it, said "We're Keeping WH"

We had Mens tennis when I was in school, early 70's.
