It was nice to see them execute some plays and set up shots rather than just take the first possible shot. I for one am happy with their performance this far as will the pairwise.

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.

I think the NCAA has too many dumb rules about how many sports schools need to have and at what level(s).

Did the committee know that they could use Google to research these people? About half of them didn't even warrant a phone call.

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?

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.

They're all but guaranteed a bowl. Granted, about 85% of FBS teams seem to make a bowl these days

Additional proof the XFL won't exist in 3 years. Hopefully a couple of our guys can use it as a springboard in the meantime though.
I'm hoping it makes it. They're certainly set up better than that other league was last year.

Idk but I live close enough to Omaha that I hope to be there for it as well.

Congrats. But if we're comparing resume and experiences ...
I was the most tenured RA on campus the day I left Housing. I toured every hall on campus during my years (including East Hall). I lived in Walsh, and then Hancock.
I'll take a suite over "cattle showers" every time.
Hancock had just been converted from "cattle showers" to multiple shared single baths when I was there. Better, but I still missed my private RA suites from Walsh.
I mean, I toured them all too. And I stand by my statement. Admittedly some people preferred the Wilkerson complex but that was usually because of the proximity to aerospace or the easy access to late night at Wilkerson. So I guess we will have to agree to disagree.

The NCHC was designed to be a league of elite teams. The SEC of college hockey. With that in mind, I don't see how St Thomas would be invited anytime soon. While I'm hopeful that they make the jump, they aren't ready for the NCHC. Mankato and ASU have better shots. Heck, BG and Michigan Tech have better shots than St Thomas.
If they do go D1, I suspect that St Thomas will either join the WCHA, or try to form a league with the other homeless teams.

Agree. By build the program I mean have better record each year which should lead to better recruiting class each year. Your not going to get the best athletes to came play for average team.
Your grammar makes me cringe, as does the existence of a negative thread after we beat a ranked team. Could we have done better? Sure, but that's true of every game. Is Bubba a perfect coach? Of course not. If he was, he'd be coaching in the NFL. Is recruiting his responsibility? Of course, but let's be honest, while UND is a great school and I love it, but unless you play in the Ralph or Betty, our facilities need help. The HPC is certainly an improvement, but they have to attend class, eat and live in GF like every other student. Also, athletes probably weren't too eager to come to UND when programs were getting cut every year.

None have been listed yet, but what are the odds that a UND player makes an XFL team?

Johnstone, Fulton, and Bek should be brought down. Probably Smith too. They were decrepit in the 1980s.
The unoccupied one that surprises me is Swanson. However, with the Union being rebuilt next door idling Swanny for a year makes sense as its food service was in the Union. I hope they're using the time to refresh Swanson.
And before folks ask, with Walsh idled, ... the hockey team is at U Place (and that's directly from one of the freshmen).
Having been an RA and seeing all the buildings, and personally lived in Walsh, JF and Bek, I respectfully think your list is crap. JF and Bek are some of the best dorms on campus. Most students, myself included, prefered the larger rooms over the tiny suite bathrooms.
If any dorms should be demolished or remolded, it should be every dorm in the Wilkerson complex. Those were tiny and decrepit.
As a side note, my mom made me stay in Walsh my freshman year because it was the only boys only dorm because she didn't think freshmen should be in coed dorms. I'm pretty sure that dorm had as many girls in as any of the actual coeds.

Yeah, if you don't think ndsu has been kicking UND's butt in marketing the last decade, you must live in grand forks.
I've lived in IL, MS, TX, and now KS since going to UND. In that time and those locations I've seen more of UND logos (all three variants) than NDSU logos. NDSU has really only ever come up with regard to football...
On 9/23/2019 at 8:54 AM, InHeavenThereIsNoBeer said:Their football program winning 7 national championships in 8 years might help a bit...
...mostly notably wrt their former coach now coaching KSU.
I think our school has a bigger footprint than most people outside of ND realize. Yes, successful sport teams play a role, especially with local recruiting. Carson Wentz helps their cause as well. But I don't think it's as one sided as others seem to think, especially when you consider that our academics carry the logo across the country too.

Not ideal for marketing. And additionally the controversy would have been discussed every time a broadcaster or writer would say, "North Dakota is the only NCAA school without a nickname...." Mistake by Kelly to run a "CONTEST ". That's for middle schools not universities. Should have been undertaken as a University branding initiative. Make something positive out of all the negative surrounding the inconsistencies of the NCAA and all the bitterness that resulted. Instead, we got a contest winner. 'Tis what 'tis. Still doesn't justify the petulance of many which only serves to further divide. Our student-athletes don't deserve the wrath of those who refuse to adapt. While we fight over mascots and logos, NDSU has moved ahead in the hearts of the region's fans. Yup, winning national championships helps, but so does a divided, petulant fan base. There will be apologists on here who rip me for saying this, but I live in the Fargo area. They love our on-going mascot/logo fight. Hell, they'd pay to create even more division if they could. So, just keep being the antagonists that you are. Hate the Hawk and all that it stands for. "Take my Fighting Sioux from my cold dead hands. " While the rest of the state flies its Bison flags.
Two things:
1. Perhaps one of the few good things Kelley did was hold a contest. It got a lot of people interested and invested in the process. The committee however, failed him by eliminating any truly unique name far before the voting process and by Schafer's horrendous handling of the logo.
2. I suspect your perception of NDSUs popularity might be tainted by living in Fargo.

As unoriginal as our name may be, I am still glad we didn’t go with an unoriginal bird logo like these two logos.
I like the Ravens one but the Nite Hawks logo looks like it's about to die. So ours is certainly better than that pile of feathers.

If you were King of Hockey, what would you change, impose, or otherwise decree to make REA the best fan experience in the college hockey kingdom? (Other than winning of course)
Beyond what was already said, I'd host an alumni game during the off season.

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.
