    In their last positions one was allegedly under investigation and another one received a vote of no confidence. IMO the 3rd one wins by default.

    Another embarrassing "process" at UND!

    I agree. There's a clear #1 here IMO. Honorable military service, provost of one of the most prestigious academic schools in the nation and pro-sports. Bring in the general.

    Well yeah, there is that. But some people that are paid to care still don't.  IIRC the NCAA sent a trophy intended for NDSU to Grand Forks just a few years ago.

    We should have kept it to make a new rivalry trophy

    The coaching staff deserves credit for adjusting to the DU power play.

    DU is big,  physical, skilled, well coached, and a good tendy. 

    Brink is legit, reminds me of Oshie.

    Serious Natty contenders.

    Very good game from UND, focused, played for 70 minutes... very impressed, the Sioux fans who traveled got rewarded!

    I liked Weatheby's performance too. Definitely could have won in regulation of the officials hadn't blown that goaltender interference call.

    I've posted this in years past. I would take all 7 of B1G hockey teams in a conference over the 7 we have now.
    NORTH DAKOTA with:
    Mn              over          Duluth
    Wis             over          Denver
    Mich          over           St. Cloud                  
    Mich St     over           W. Mich            
    Nt Dam     over          Omaha        
    Penn St     over          CC
    Ohio St      over          Miami, Oh

    Lots of hardware in top 4 teams to left plus NDak

    You can cherry pick matchups if you want but we've all been through these hypotheticals before but it still comes down to three things

    1. We have good rivals in both conferences. There will never be a perfect conference thanks to the Big Ten.

    2. Big Ten won't be inviting anyone until they know what Illinois is going to do. Not to mention any other actual Big schools.

    3. The NCHC is the best conference in hockey hands down. No one is leaving the SEC for old rivals.

    so we have more of a history with western michigan, nebraska-omaha, and miami of ohio than we do with Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Michigan State, and Notre Dame?

    I suppose I could have worded that better. But recently yes. Especially if you exclude Wisconsin and Minnesota. I don't think we should leave the NCHC and forgo the majority of our rivals just so we can play those 2 teams more often. A Big Ten offer would have to extend beyond just hockey for me to be interested.

    amazing that some people don't see the difference between Big 10 schools and MAC schools....

    Amazing that some people still think the Big Ten carries the same weight in College Hockeybad it does elsewhere. It lacks the power and tradition. Maybe someday it will those but for now it falls short. We have more history and rivalry against the WCHA, and some Hockey East teams than the Big Ten, excluding former WCHA members.

    NCHC looks like it is going to be down a little bit this year.  

    Yeah. Last year we ended the season at .667  which was the best in the NCAA. Currently we are 2nd with .620 and the Big is currently leading the NCAA with .641. There is something to be said for Big's weaker strength of schedule, but as a conference we could have done better. Hopefully we pass up Big Ten by the end of the year.

    Who do you hate the more - Duluth or the gophers? Have to say I dislike Duluth the most 

    Both of my brothers are rodents so they are definitely the biggest rival to me. Come to think of it, so are my parents but they are a different kind (BSU) and they usually cheer for UND except when we play BSU. 

     

    Beyond that, I have cousins that have gone to Mankato, UMD and my Grandpa went to SCSU so pretty much any game against a MN team is some sort of rivalry for me.

    Does anyone here think that Air Force could be competitive in the WCHA?

    They probably could be competitive but they want conference rivals with the service academies.  Navy will add the sport some day, as they have an ice arena.  Travel costs are not an issue with them,

    I've always though that the AF and the WCHA would make a lot of sense as while. Unfortunately I think SiouxVolley is right. They are happy where they are at.
