According to Twitter, Matt Cavanagh was here too.

Became a season ticket holder 2 years ago, and haven't missed a game. In the early, summer weather part of the season, the tailgating atmosphere is great because of the students making it a huge party. The winter becomes the traditional tailgate with harsher weather and layers of clothes. I plan to maintain my season tix forever.

UND 360 confirms this on Twitter.

I believe UND is getting that much from Nebraska in a couple of years, but I don't think the Washington payout is that much.

ESPN has them as the #8 going into next season.

Just as SU fans should not compare their team to Bama, neither should UND fans hope to be anything like Bama. They have 5 star recruits begging to get in. They have 5 star recruits as backups to backups.

I'm not suggesting that many wouldn't do that, but I sense a significant apathy amongst the ones I know. They are UND hockey fans; for some it's a social thing and they don't have much interest in any other sports.

Just "certain" hockey fans?

Oh I just put on my Twitter page: NCAA you just crowned a champion that had to play 4 playoff games. Did that "dilute the regular season?" I think the big boys should have 8 teams! UCF got jobbed-beat the team that beat BOTH teams in the committee run playoff title game and get nothing out of it.

But if you aren't Bama and the big dogs, who cares who plays in the "Tampax It's That Time of Month" Bowl? Bison will NOT get past a minor bowl game and frankly, most teams that play in those LOSE money. How much would it cost to move up to get to play in those types of games IF you're lucky?

I get that the fan base should be proud, but there are many who believe that they COULD play with Bama.

Why move up when they can dominate this division? Don't give me this crap about being tired of it either. If they want to play in the Meineke Muffler Tossed Salad Bowl every year, fine by me, but it doesn't make any sense.

But the catch should have been made. I'm done watching. I hate seeing that team win and I'm afraid they will and I can't take it. The end.

YES!!!

Wolanin chirping.

Anyone watching on CBS. Announcer is talking about how Omaha's new coach has instilled a more defensive approach this year. What??

I agree, but this part is a bit light on specifics. Why can't any of these 3 play well next year. Jenkins is a monster. Kruse looks like he's got a good frame too. Other youngsters like Wil Prine, Connor Kruse and Jeremy Jenkins aren’t ready to be in the mix yet. Kruse is an intriguing frame, but we haven’t seen much of him yet due to an injury he battled most of 2017.

I just saw the lineups. The entire first line is BU commits.

Any commits on this team?

Army coach was talking about how his team didn't pass once in a game this year and averaged 3 passes. Here's the thing-the other team KNEW they weren't passing and still couldn't stop them. Sometimes execution is more important than play calling.

I'm happy to see ND guys coming here.

New recruit Trae Steckler. In state and looks like he says no to SU.

He made 50 grand a DAY as Knicks GM. He might have some cash lying around.

I understand that an offer is a public way of knowing who a team pursues, but couldn't a team pursue a kid, get the vibe that he's not interested and then decide it's not worthy of making an offer to him? I suspect some of this is exactly what has been noted above, lots of offers mean lots of rejections. Perhaps a team doesn't want to "waste" an offer on a kid it knows won't come here in order to keep the rejection rate down.

Wanzek and Toivonen are nice but totally interchangeable. Need a Clives type to open it up and think it could be Greibel or Izzy or Maeg??
