Wilbur

Win this week and next week and pack your bags for the road in the postseason. Made our own bed with not being able to close games and make short kicks, but this team could make a run. UND 31 Racers 20 Just win the game.

I enjoyed listening to Matvick. Does a good job. Play 5x5 and don't take penalties. Tonight's game is for Gibby. All in to get him the Spartan helmet.

Completely different team now.

The last ten minutes sucked. Inexcusable. They are lucky ASU didn't get four there with the turnovers and d zone play.

Went up 2-0 then had an awful few shifts managing the puck, which lead to a penalty, and now they have all the momentum. Much needed TV TO.

So Heinert is calling soccer, Rivers is the PA because I'm guessing Looker is doing radio, and the team is wearing the road unis at home. Some good and bad moments that period. Get another one and the dam will break.

Him walking off the green leaving his ball in the cup after draining a 30 footer for birdie left mixed emotions. Magical for him, but get your damn ball son....of course grandpa hugged him.....sigh....

Spunar, Gibby, sweep....Wilbur's kid is killing it off the tee in Florida. Way too many "Who's ball is that ahead further on the fairway dad?"

Good weekend. Both goalies locked in, with Homer the first star on Saturday. I'm glad Jax pointed out the group didn't play great but got through it last night. Onward.

They keep playing stupid, you keep scoring. Thats how it works.

Didn't see a second of that period. But I'll take 4-2 with 20 to go.

Not a great period. Get out of it 1-1 and talk about it.

I can get used to this no road announcers thing.

Never have I seen the left wing announced first.

Its Czechia, its Slovakia. Live from Omaha. And now Mavpuck is upset our guys missed the net in warmups and hit the plexi glass.

The coaches have rotated the last two weekends, and I'm thinking we will see more of the same this weekend. I'd go Spunar tonight, but I'm sitting in an office not affiliated with any of the GOBC decision makers. Its also our bi-annual time when the Mavpuck lady shares all the hatred towards UND and 7 year old kids at games standing and cheering for their favorite team. I'll say a split on the road.

Heart says UND 31-28 with a few good bounces the home side's way. Head says UND covers, but not enough to stop Payton from doing what he's done all year.

This right here. When I was at UND (Gasp, the D2 days!) The student demand was ridiculous. On Monday we got in line at Chester Fritz and then a guy walks by and says "they aren't checking ID's at the Ralph ticket office". So we ran over and got more student tickets for our buddies that had class. My brother was in the NDSU marching band, and they got to apologize to the parents that they all promised tickets too if your kid was involved in NDSU athletics as the game was sold out for weeks and UND told NDSU they wouldn't be passing out any more tickets for friends and family.

Its upsetting to see that cost for tickets. Family vacation or I would have considered going to the game, but that isn't a reasonable price for those tickets whatsoever. I know nothing about the state of the cost of NDSU tickets, but can't imagine that would be the cost of UND vs. NDSU at the dome, or even an SDSU vs. NDSU game at the dome. FCS attendance around the country isn't great to begin in, why wouldn't you want more butts in seats for a game like this? I'll hang up and listen.

UND is now almost in playoff mode with last week's loss. Got to win two out of three or what if 2.0. Youngstown showed you can score a bit on NDSU's defense. Game will come down to UNDs defense stopping Payton. He's had himself a great year, getting them off the field will be the key.

I try not to lose it during games as I'm too old to get upset at this stuff, but I lost it there. A gap blast three times with Mason. And if you don't score a TD it doesn't matter, you've taken 1:20 off or they've burned two TO. Instead we need a great play at the end so Detroit doesn't get it back because we are throwing it for whatever reason with a running clock under 4 minutes left.

That defense is so different with Van Ginkel. Redmond with one helluva game too. JJ will make his mistakes, but I think using motion and getting the ball out early will help him develop in the long run. His legs saved them a few times today, which should help with the unpredictable line play. Lamar next week. Another test for the defense.

I can't believe they won today....

Kevin....1st and goal at the 2....just run it three times. Brady said it, they either lose a 1:20 or a few timeouts. I don't get the play calling....ever.

Coming out of the weekend I'm more impressed with the Plante brothers, and less impressed with Shaugabay. When they don't have the puck he's a big time liability. Zam and Max are energizer bunny type players and he just looks like he's gliding. Next year when Victor is at Duluth you may as well have the all Plante line.
