Lions fan here,
What the hell is the NFC Championship game?
Seriously though, come to Detroit. It's going to be crazy with all the WMU fans who are going to be there supporting their team!
Vikings fans here. NFC championship games are where the Vikings typically crash and burn after and otherwise stellar season.

This year is the first time since I graduated that I have lived close enough to an NCHC team for me to actually drive and go to the game. As a bonus, my wife's cousin lives in Omaha so we had everything all planned out. At least until the Air Force decided that I needed to visit Kuwait instead.
Oh well, maybe next year...

Don’t think we want to bring our pairwise down by bringing in a losing program. If anything, bring in MSU Mankato and hope they fill their place in the new CCHA.
ASU has a much stronger case for the NCHC. I wish the remaining WCHA teams the best and hope they survive. But realistically UAH would fit best in Atlantic.

Anything after “Sioux” was going to suck for most people, it’s very understandable. Frankly, all mascot names are a little lame, depending on perspective. But what’s truly lame is fans at games yelling nothing at all.
I for one would have been willing to wait a few more years so we could have had Fighting Moose

This article says Colorado is the most underrated hockey hotbed in the country.
I would rate North Dakota higher, specifically Greater Grand Forks.

To be fair, the article does say it's under rated. I think everyone knows GF is a hotbed. Well aside from that ASU author who has apparently never heard of us.

1. Minnesota - both my brothers went there
2. UMD - most of my cousins went here
3. SCSU - had a terrible tour there as HS student. Plus they keep breaking my brackets by losing right away. Plus they hurt Chay Genoway
4. BSU - My parents went there
5. Wisconsin - better dead than red
6. DU
7. Every other NCHC team
8. Every other Big Joke team
9. Cansius
10. All other old WCHA teams

Sure appreciate not having to analyze the pair wise trying to figure out how we were going to get into the NCAA tournament. Much better trying to figure out where - not if - we play.
Oh the difference a year makes!
It's also fun seeing rival teams starting to sweat about the Pairwise without having to do so ourselves.

Speaking of hockey down south, is there any possibility of UND / NCHC hosting a Frozen Four in Nashville?
Hmmmm.
Why would they? Nashville is pretty far away from all of the NCHC school.

I never knew Mussman was actively shopping Golladay around to another program after he got axed. That pisses me off.
What I've read previously is that Golladay was disappointed that Mussman got fired. He was really only here because of Mussman so he asked him for his help to transfer and Mussman did so. It's unfortunate but I don't really blame either of them.

The playoffs are over for us. Not much to comment on at the moment. Hard to see him getting fired during the off season after we made the playoffs.

Not that it has to do with Cornell, but what sucks for MSU-Mankato is we have the toughest SOS to this point this year and have a 14-1-1 record. As the year goes on, our SOS will end up plummeting to the mid-20s as it always does. The conference penalizes us year after year (in the sense that we have little to no margin of error). If anyone wonders why fans of MSU and, to some extent, fans of other WCHA teams not in Alaska and Alabama dislike the current state of the conference, this is a prime example. While it is "easy" to pile up wins, a bad weekend can kill a team.
As a conference it's difficult to overcome the weak schedule when you have that many teams bringing down the strength of schedule. Atlantic Hockey runs into the same problem. Thing is though, I'm not sure kicking out three teams will fix it. Other WCHA teams have struggled out of conference as well. Most notably Ferris State. Time will tell and I'd like the see the WCHA survive and thrive. This year has been better than the last few.

Lindenwood has all three goalie injured, so a forward is playing in goal for them.
Wow. That's a lot of goalies to be injured at once

In another thread a poster complained that Football is hurt by the nickname controversy. Here's what I think - there are not many Sioux Forever fans left - even though that's what you hear at hockey games. Almost all realize the Sioux is not coming back. However, there is a strong contingent that feels that the Fighting Hawk name and logo is so pathetic they will never get behind it. I am one. I just can't bring myself to buy anything that features that idiotic name and postal logo. We were promised a strong nickname that represented us in a unique way. Adjective Bird just doesn't cut it - nor does the Hawk name represent North Dakota in any way. Just look at the brief excitement when a moose wandered on to campus. Time for a do-over to give us a nickname we can all be proud of - Fighting Moose would be a winner.
I agree with this mostly. I prefer the Sioux name and usually still use it. But I don't mind the name Fighting Hawks itself, it wasn't my first choice but I can stomach it. The logo is where my support falls short though. It's dreadfully boring.
That being said, I got my daughter and Hawk jersey and let her use that name. It's not her controversy and I don't want her to receive same hateful judgement that others spewed out earlier.

I my be biased because I'm in the AF, but I don't really understand the apprehension towards former military members. The former military members I've met in academia were some of my best professors. Are there any specific examples of military leaders not working out at UND?

It’s gotta be either Armacost or Nichols...doesn’t it?
That would be my top 2. Rosowsky is a distant third. Frankly I'd be shocked and a little angry if he gets it.

As well as this team is playing, I can't get enough. Traveled to Denver, and Minneapolis. St. Cloud in February, and I can't get to the Ralph until the weekend following against WMU and finally end in Omaha in March.
NCHC.tv will have to hold me over until February. Take it one weekend at a time, and this team can do well. I'm anxious to see them play Duluth.
NCHC.tv has been my source of UND hockey for 7 years as I've lived too far away for any games (although I did come back for 2) Now that I finally moved and live close enough to Omaha for a game there I've been told that I'll be on a work trip that weekend. :-(

Cousins is the least of their worries. Couldn’t stop the run, 218 yards on the ground and 40 minutes TOP for Seattle is a losing formula. Also, Rhodes has become a liability.
Cousins reminds me a bit of Romo. Historically doesn't do well in clutch situations and we saw a bit of that yesterday (overthrawn balls). But like Romo, that doesn't mean the loss is his fault. Our defense was bad, Bailey missed a PAT, we had turnovers, Cook got injured and yes, there were some blown calls and bad playcalls. The end result, we as a TEAM lost.
Admittedly, I used to be an Anti-cousins fan and sometimes do still wonder what we'd look like with Keenum or Bridgwater. But the truth is Cousins is the best QB we've had in awhile and we aren't going to get anyone better in the near future. We still have games left and still have a very good chance to win the division or the wild card spot.

It's 8 hours from JFK to London; it's 7 hours JFK to LAX.
No big deal.
But what if you have to fly from LAX to London?

Aviation school is so far away from the rest of campus it was very helpful to have our own services over there. To be fair, we paid extra fees for that privilege. I'm not sure how much said fees offset the actual cost however.
