I know little in the world of football compared to Bubba or Entz, but I just can't believe that NDSU would start Zeb on Saturday. Giving the kid the benefit of the doubt. Is he playing that poorly, or has the bar been set by past Bison QBs who are or will be wearing NFL uniforms? From what I see the Freshman gives them a better chance to win.

Okay....dusting this thread off. I think this is the opening day lineup with the exception of Kiriloff or Arraez in left. Arraez needs to be in the lineup somewhere.

The SCSU guy running over Kollar would be assessed a five minute major and a game for that hit in the present NCHC.

UND playing for their first NCHC tournament championship. Berry has made a point around the team to remind them that they haven't ever won this trophy. Lets be honest here, the trophy needs a name. Penrose works for the regular season, but they've got to get something catchy like Don Adams award or something. Adams cup. I dunno. Or we could have CC steal the Broadmoor back. @Godsmack, this one is on you. Alright, SCSU. The way the d core played last night has me scared. Denver didn't play in our end a ton, but when they did our d men weren't crisp at all. Coop looked like a Freshman, but he is so he gets a bye on that one. Bast didn't have his best game, and he nearly got the 2nd assist on the Denver chance that he put directly on Brink's tape. Also tried earlier in the game to take Brink's parenthood away, which I thought would be reviewed and a five, but wasn't. I thought Kiersted was solid, but he's always solid. Alright, who won't be playing tonight.....my guesses.....Senden (why God?), Mismash, JBD. Not sure why Budy wasn't in the lineup, maybe tonight. As far as the lineup goes 22-18-29 dominated when put together....However you've got two of your main centers on that line.....sigh. If it was me......with the knowledge that Budy is in the dog house or hurt, and no Senden or Mismash. 22-18-29 17-14-28 10-27-21 8-11-13

How good of a teammate is Thome? I've said it before, but it takes me back to the days of Tobey K, and Blaiser saying that the team would not have won the national championship without Tobey being a positive influence on the group.

Berry fired up in the post-game talk with TH. Didn't want to talk 2nd period.

Minnesota in Loveland against Denver first round?

Denver deserves to be in the tournament. We all hate them, but they do.

Ball game.

Regular season a 5.....playoffs??? Stay tuned.

You.....can't.....turn.....it....over.....there.....

Ohh wow....Judd with a chance.

Got to imagine Denver wants to end it early. High off the glass if you've got nothing. Make them go 200 feet. Game winner: UND-Adams Denver-Guttman

I can't imagine he splits up the top unit after what they showed the last half of the third.

Pinto. Tie game.

Agreed. Too late. Needed to start the 3rd together IMHO.

Boy, may need to juggle the lines here coaches. Switch things up guys.

This is why I'm glad Bemidji isn't in the NCHC. Can't really blame Denver though, they have to play this way.

We need a TV timeout.

Beat me too it.....Coop burned....

I thought when you did what Bast did its a major?

@SiouxFanatic is the MVP of UND's season in my book because of the links to feeds posted all throughout the season. I mean Pinto has been good, but SiouxFanatic is the real MVP.

Play should have been blown dead. Feel for Western. Still wondering what the Western D man was doing just throwing the puck up the middle of the ice? Terrible way for it to end.

They would like nothing better than to blow us out of the dome (again) to keep us in our little brother spot. You said it best, they still have a number of great athletes on their team. Handling the momentum swings and keeping their composure when those guys make plays is key. I think Tommy will be under a bit more duress this football game. Lets see how he keeps his cool as well.

The fact that we are talking about UND with a chance to win this game in Fargo after NDSU hadn't lost in however many games is something in itself. They are still the champs. Gotta play clean, and play with a chip on their shoulder. Has there ever been a time in this series when both teams started Freshman QBs??
