Agree I don't know why darell brings it up all the time. NDSU has the financial resources to bring a OOC team and at this time you guys will have more of a problem than we will. That's just a fact.
Faison got involved when no one was charged with anything? Lots more to come. That's one hell of a suspension against the worst team in DI hockey. WOW.
Yeah I'll give you the 90's but all the games were close. But if for not for the reductions I think we retain the edge. An example is Mike Moony quote after UND won said he would have been at NDSU but they were out of scholarships. He turned out to be a star player for you guys and bone head move on Rocky's part. After the reduction to 36 a lot of NAIA and DIII schools jumped in and it really watered down the division. You have to get to the point when you put in the 2's you don't notice any drop in performance. After the Delta State BS that's when NDSU decided for sure to jump to I-AA.
Your opinion - but as some Sioux backers told me back in the day was Roger recruited & designed his D to stop the veer (NDSU). He knew that the way to the playoffs went through them. Smart on his part. Recruiting was made easiler when they reduced the scholarships down from 46 as a lot of NDSU's would be recruits went to other teams. Makes a big difference as you have to pick correctly with only 36 scholarships.
Yeah Alphagriz their idea of a good poster is someone that agrees with their thoughts and if you disagree you're a troll. Like you asking why they're playing a transitioning NAIA team to DII? You were called a troll right away. Go figure....
That game was a complete waste of time for the team. They didn't learn anything from it. The biggest thing about the Mines game is it isn't a counter. With all the high hopes on this board that could come back to haunt you.

Pay outs are kind of low - time you fly out and back there's not much left. I think we got 350,000 for a bus trip to MN. But the Gophers made it back in spades with the 20,000 ticket sales.
