My Gopher brother came up to Grand Forks for a game once and he was dumbfounded that he had to stand outside in the student line.

Pretty sure that's for all of their sports. Not just hockey.

It's no one person's fault but neither of those goals were amazing. He is capable of better and we will need him to play better this year since we don't have a high goal scoring potential.

I may have paid it but that annual fee is by no means small...radio stream is free though.

What's with the refs letting the gophers get cheap shots on Cam...and the announcers blaming cam for fightomg back?

In heaven there is no beer!

13:30 in the period. 31 on the power play

Come on boys. Get a power play goal!

Yep. Just tested it. Oh well

A couple of missed passes and poor shots but we controlled most of that period. Unfortunately we slipped up on defense once and paid for it.

How many screens can an NCHC.TV account stream at once?

Might as well offer Urban Meyer a job too :-D

Probably wouldn't want to leave the Flyers to be an AD.

Yeah, my post was merged over from another thread. Admittedly it doesn't make sense here.

If the NCHC didn't take a Power 5 school they won't be taking Oakland anytime soon. I suspect they'd join the WCHA or we could see the CCHA reform IF Oakland actually makes a team. Remember these are only studies at this point.

Right...cause Oakland University is so massive. Having lived near StL...they are ripe for a college team.

I always liked TSgt Robert Carter from the AFROTC Detachment. Then again,I personally knew him so I may be biased.

http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/4344697-und-athletic-director-brian-faison-retire-dec-31 Good riddance I'd say. I know he did a lot of good for the school too but I'd argue he did a lot more harm than good. Thoughts?

I haven't been able to watch a football game recently until today. Is it just me or our helmets awful? Green helmet with a green logo on one side and a tiny number on the other side. Needs a bigger border around the logo so it doesn't all blend together.

Doesn't have anything to do with the non-hockey teams having lame jerseys with no logo for over a decade. :-)

Having little to no access to the facts, here's what I can say about Kelley. A. He's better then his predecessor B. He was student friendly while I was a campus student, but his popularity with staff amd students took a nose dive in his later years. C. He botched the nickname from start to finish. In the early years, he tried to play it neutral but it was later revealed he was trying to retire the name as quickly as possible. Then there was the nickname committee and vote debacle. The logo design I leave on Schafer. D. While several new buildings were built (with private donations for these projects) and several were renovated, other buildings fell into disrepair. E. Several teams and majors were cut right after his administration. It's conceivable that these could have been avoided for some (likely not all) with better budgeting during his tenure. F. Due to lack of transparency, I don't know how much of C-E are really his fault, as opposed to the fault of state officials. Ultimately I do think he tried to do what he thought was best, but a lot went wrong at the end of his watch and his lack of transparency led to distrust and dislike by students, teachers and alumni alike which makes it hard to see him in a favorable light. In short, I don't expect any alumni to donate money for a Kelley Hall anytime soon.

I think this is also a problem with the Gophers. Lots of in state talent has been going to other Minnesota schools. Most notably UMD

That's true of most of our our sports. How many fans support golf, soccer, tennis, track, swimming and Diving or softball? What gets me is that the hockey team knew the school was in a budget crunch and still had that massive budget when teams across the Red River were equally competitive for a fraction of the cost. As soon as they were no longer declared "safe" they had huge target on their backs and they have no one to blame but their own inept staff.

Well all the more reason for him to leave considering we don't have a team anymore.

NeutralZone rated their recruiting class as 9th best. ASU doesn't want WCHA if they can avoid it. I think Big wants to snipe an NCHC team for their 8th member and both conferences are waiting to see if that happens. Scenario A: NCHC team leaves for Big, ASU fills vacant slot in NCHC B. No NCHC teams leave, ASU joins Big C. NO NCHC team leaves, ASU and one WCHA team joins NCHC, Big stays at 7.
