Just thought I'd throw this link to Miami's proposed new hockey arena. Looks pretty nice. Does anyone else think the outside looks a little familiar? http://muredhawks.collegesports.com/sports...nstruction.html

I am obviously not a great hockey mind, I'm relatively new to the sport but I enjoy listening to Woden. Maybe because he is really the only "national" college hockey analyst regularly on tv. I must say I was surprised when he did his bit about this year's top incoming freshman that I didn't hear him say anything about UND's 3 No. 1 picks, or Toews. The only other analysts I ever get to hear are those that are on the Fox regional channels, or NESN and they are obviously going to be "homers". Therefore, I am greatful to be able to watch Woden. I'll be anxious to see how ESPNU's announcers are this season, I'm sure a few of the NHL guys that did the tourney games last season have moved on to OLN. Since their based in CT, I suppose they could be biased to the EZAC or Hockey lEast, but at least it means more college hockey on tv. BTW, where/who was the other guy that was always on CSTV's Friday Night Hockey with Woden last year?

oh

That was a crappy goal!

I just heard on CSTV at the end of the Michigan-Quinnipiac game that Michigan is opening NEXT season with two games at North Dakota. Anyone else heard this? Do they schedule this far in advance?

Awesome, looks like 8 regular season Sioux games will be available on National cable tv this year with the combinations of CSTV/ESPNU/Fox Regional Networks. I hope FSN North televises the Final Five again this year, and I'd assume ESPNU will be in GF for the regional. ESPNU has no schedule listed past November, so maybe more will be on later in the season as well.

What? Yet another school with a FREE webcast?

I love the shootout, and the trapezoid.

I agree, also all CSTV/ESPNU games of UND are UND home games. I suppose that is because the Ralph has what they need to broadcast. But for those of us that get FSSN, it would be nice if more away games were on TV.

Wisconsin vs North Dakota on Nov. 4 is on though! http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tvlisting...rk=99&sport=all

The North Dakota/Denver game on Oct 28 is no longer listed on ESPNU's schedule. Instead it is Minnesota at St. Cloud. http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tvlisting...rk=99&sport=all CSTV will televise this game.

Don't you only need six schools to have an autobid?

I agree that UND could not likely add scholarships at the rampant rate that NDSU appears to be. And with a 5 year wait to qualify for the post season, I wouldn't see a need to. Throwing out the exploratory year, for football alone we'd only need to add 6 to 7 schollies per year in order to be fully funded by the time we are eligable for the playoffs. NDSU would certainly be the better team during our transition years, but I disagree that we would be substantially behind them. They have proven in their first two years in I-AA that the leap for a program from the top of DII to I-AA is not as big a gap as they would like to think. I think the top scholarship priority in the first few years of move to DI should be focused on volleyball and women's basketball. From what I saw, NDSU/SDSU scheduling woes were far more severe in basketball than they were in football.

Good to see that FSSN will broadcast some basketball games again this year. 3 men's and 2 women's games. IMHO they should televise all confernce games on cable. http://siouxsports.com/forums/index.php?sh...pic=1583&st=620 http://www.midcocomm.com/editable_content/...hedule0506.html

My spin is that (I'm hoping) Lennon was told that UND would be going I-AA within the next 5 years. I would think that otherwise, he would want to keep his options open, because after his six years here, I'd think that alot of I-AA head coaching positions and probably some I-A assistant positions would be knocking on his door.

If "Sioux" is a name given to the Lakota/Dakota/Nakota Indian tribes by the Chippewa, shouldn't we be asking the Chippewa Tribes for permission to use it? Since I am part Chippewa, I'm offended that another tribe is offended by one of our tribal words.

I'm in favor of what has been suggested on the site many times, if we are forced to not use Fighting Sioux, than use no nickname at all. The fans will carry it on, the interlocking ND would be the official logo.

I love this idea. I love the Fighting Sioux name and can't imagine UND going by any other name. Losing the ability to host hockey regionals, or the men's and women's Elite 8, is of little consequence. But If our football, basketball teams, or any other athletic program can never play a home playoff game, I have to reconsider. I love the name but I love our teams to have success more.

Game is on FSSN, Midco Cable or FTA satellite.

Attendance: 8,952 Poor showing for NCC opener versus a geographically close team that has played us closely the past few years.

I see that the UND at New Hampsire game on Oct. 22 is televised on New Hampsire Public Television. Any chance this station can be picked up on KU? http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/tvsk...084a31e87cd0cc5

You can receive all Sioux home hockey games, a few football games, and maybe a few basketball games as well if you invest in a KU free to air satellite system. Fairly inexpensive at around $200-$300. Check out the "Sioux on Satellite" thread in this hockey forum to find out more, contact PSB or Iceberg, they can help set you up.

I wonder why the gopher game? I'm sure that game will be on both FSSN and Fox Sports North.

COOL!!! Do you have a link to ESPNU's entire schedule? Any away games that won't be on FSSN? BTW, welcome back to Petersburg, maybe I'll run into you at the Town Pump II, I get up there every once in a while.

It said in the Herald today that there were NFL scouts from Philadelphia and Jacksonville at yesterday's game looking at Chris Kuper, Digger Anderson, and Jeff Glas. I'm sure Glas' performance made them take note.
