I'd bet the majority of people would agree with you, I know I'm one. Get to a realistic # (whatever the minimum is for FCS or maybe +1 of that). I'm just ready for this whole thing to be over with. I really hope Kennedy can take a step back and think about everything objectively. His statement the entire time has given me hope that at the end of this painful process, he'll make a smart decision.

Don't play any of them. Does anyone have any inside information on any of these injuries? I.e. do we know how close all are to getting back to 100%? Could all play if necessary?
-
Although it's been put to bed (or at least I hope it has), I'm almost 1/2 surprised that the committee's response wasn't let's just move down to DII, so we can keep all the sports. I couldn't agree more, I really think Kennedy seems to have the "common sense" gene that some seem to be lacking with this subject.

Reading stuff like this, even an opinion column absolutely makes my blood boil. I wish we could fast forward these next two weeks and just get to his decision. It's really unbelievable with this University. I wonder what giant headache is next after this gets squared away.
-
Agreed, I think increasing ticket prices is a good idea, but the University better do their due diligence on what percentage increase is feasible. I think 25% is too steep, especially for hockey that already has high ticket prices.
-
This makes sense to me. Step 1, figuring out the league situation. Step 2, cut sports that aren't core to that league. I'd make no sense to cut any sports before knowing what league you're going to be affiliated with. My hope from the beginning is that they'd move to the Summit for all sports except for Football, which would stay in the Big Sky.

UND also #19 in the STATS top 25 poll.
-
If Reyes isn't 100%, I'd hold him out. Same goes for Stanley.... Away games always make me nervous, but this is a game they should have regardless if those two play. I'm less worried given what happened last year, Bubba has to keep emphasizing that the way they played against Idaho State and Weber State single handily was the reason they missed out on the playoffs.
-
It was just Studs, Reyes was hurt in the PSU game the week before, he didn't play at all against ISU.

UNI still being ranked is a complete joke, but it'll work itself out. They're getting in at 6-5, but sitting currently at 2-4, they'll have to finish 4-1 to get to that record. They still play NDSU, SDSU and Western Illinois. They do have a brutal schedule. UND is #21 in the Sagarin rankings. http://sagarin.com/sports/cfsend.htm

Ridiculous. Is there a giant uproar every year, or are people so tired of complaining they've given up? I know last year w/ MVC all being on the same side there was a lot of push back. You'd think that nobody would be ok with this. What a joke. Regardless, just keep winning and see what happens. I know there's a lot of time left in the season and a lot of things will change, but is the general consensus that we'd like to see South Dakota State win out and get a seed?
-
I've never paid attention to where teams have been ranked with their first round matchups. Do they attempt at all to match teams up based on the teams actual rankings? I know they try to go regional, but let's say UND and SDSU are ranked 9th and 11th. Would they still match them up first round, even though it would make no sense to do so based on their rankings?
-
Like a few people have said before, it's much easier to fall, than it is to rise in the rankings. Outside of true statement wins (i.e. beating another Top 25 team), I doubt you see anybody jump over a team that also won. UND is at #22 in the STATS poll (using that one, because that's what everyone seems to use on tv broadcasts). #17 Albany, #20 Harvard and #21 UNI all lost. I bet they'll either be 19 come Monday. Got to keep stacking wins!
-
One major concern I have right now is with the kicking game. Wasn't Taubs able to kick it into the end zone as a freshman? It didn't cost us today, but SUU started with great field position more times than not.

Do you really not understand the point?

This topic is kind of going off the rails. My opinion on wanting the sport cut is strictly based on the financial situation the athletic department is currently in and the fact that a couple sports need to go. It wouldn't be cut the sport, just to cut it. This will probably make me look like the bad guy, but there are only three UND sports I care about. Men's Hockey, Basketball, Football. Outside of those three, whichever other sport has the highest price tag, I'd vote to cut (again, since UND will be cutting sports).
-
Just like pretty much everyone else, I'll pass.
-
Just look at the attendance, that's pretty much all you need to know. If it was entertaining, people would show up.
-
Can't think of a women's sport that's less enjoyable to watch.

You are the worst, imo

No seniors and Boeser being the only definite early departure. I count 3 forwards that have to almost be locked in coming next year in Kawaguchi, Mismash and Adams. Besides that Mattson and Keane seem like they'd be likely too.
-
Here's the thing I'm struggling to figure out about everyone talking about UND's weak conference schedule. Wouldn't the same apply to EWU and Montana then as well? I know they play each other, but based on their logic that UND doesn't play anybody, wouldn't both those schools only play 1 good conference opponent? I would say that's a pretty weak conference schedule as well.
-
Here's a current look at Ticketmaster. Hopefully a lot of walk of sales.
-
Correct, it'd be key for both SDSU and UNI to miss the playoffs. That's why this weekend is interesting. I'd never cheer for NDSU, but it might be better for UND if NDSU beat the Jacks. Losing to NDSU won't drop them a lot, but it will give them 3 loses, which will in turn kind of put them on the bubble as far as one more loss (have a pretty tough schedule), would really hurt. That being said, if either / both go 7-4 they will be in no question. Getting SDSU to 5 losses is pretty tough to do, could see UNI going 6-5.
-
#22 in the Stats rankings. I actually don't have a big problem with UNI being at #21. I mean they dropped 10 places from last weeks, which is huge.
