It is mostly influenced by strength of your opponents schedules.

Obviously we all know the next game on the schedule is the biggest game on the schedule. To say this is a big game is an understatement. Weber is coming in here at 5-2 (4-0 Big Sky) and winners of 5 straight. They scored 20+ unanswered points in the 4th quarter last night in a come from behind win on the road against rival Southern Utah to stay unbeaten in the conference. A lot has been made about last year's loss to Idaho St. costing UND a spot in the playoffs in 2015. One could easily argue that our loss at Weber last year was just as damaging. For those who forget how it unfolded in Ogden last year, we were leading late and in a position to put them away in the 4th quarter before allowing them to score 15 unanswered points to escape with a one point victory. In 2014, UND was not a good football team, but Weber was pretty awful too. They came into the Alerus and basically embarrassed us that year 24-12, but the game wasn't that close. I remember being furious about that loss. Let's hope the offensive line gets back on track for this game and run them out of our building next week. #LeaveNoDoubt

Sold

You mad bro?

Sold 3 of them. Still have 2 in 103 available. $50 for the pair.

I have 5 available in the lower bowl for SATURDAY against Bemidji. 2 of them are in Sec 103, Row P. 3 of them are in Sec 102, Row F. Tix are not in GF, so will have to be transferred via Ticketmaster, which is real easy just need a name and email address. $25 per ticket, or $100 for all 5. Text 701-797-7021

So in the end, the IAC's and Kennedy's plan is to make more money. Brilliant.

Flights are booked, I will be there.

Summit League = Landing pad for all schools rejected by the Big Sky. And unfortunately it appears UND may be willing to throw away the enormous opportunity that the Big Sky presents, mostly because it and many of its supporters miss NDSU. Where would the hockey program be today if it were equally consumed by a perceived need to be in lockstep with Minnesota? Probably not at the top......

This is disappointing and actually quite ridiculous. A move to the Summit would be embarrassing at best.

The only sport that UND added to join the Big Sky was men's tennis and that costs around 75 cents a day to operate. UNDs athletic department was fat and bloated long before the Big Sky ever came calling.
