Oh you're right you have a very good and successful hockey team. But from someone on the outside looking in it looks like the athletic dept. views all the other sports as secondary. Expectations aren't very high and very little pressure to win as hockey is the money sport. Case in point WBB - does anyone on this board really think that Fargo South has 3 DI athletes. That's just Roebuck being lazy and not going out in the summer and hitting the gym's around the country. That's the reason Amy got out of coaching - the fire was gone. I think that's what he was saying.

So what's the big secret of not releasing it?

So you like math? Missing fans or just no fans? 2010 UND home games 37.30% missing Last UND Playoff game 60.97% missing I love how you guys talk about our attendance when your's is so bad.

Wow didn't expect that. We'll see next year.

So UND not playing NDSU is Chapman's fault? That's what you're going with? WOW you have a distorted view of the facts! You need to get off that broken record.

You can spin playing the fb game forever but how do you explain not playing in all the "other" sports?? Man up and realize that RT was being vindictive and hoping by not playing in other sports that our move would fail big time. Now in your 3rd year of transition we've played in volleyball and now MBB. How many games did we play against each other in our 3rd year?

Doubt it will really matter what year it is.

Still more than twice as much as your last home playoff game.

Probably something you'll never have to worry about ever again.... :lol:

Point system was still in place but the penalty for playing up was gone.

So much anger!!!

You guys are actually proud of this win??? Look for a lot of disappointment this season.

Agree Jose is tbe backup - when Jenson is back things will change. How about the Defense? We put the hurt on SDSU so we'll see what you do next week!!!!

I think it's great you got into a conference. There's aways positives and negatives with any conference. Most of you all think there's only positives. The biggest thing is you're in a conference with an autobid.

Get it into your heads NDSU has ZERO interest in moving to the BSC. We have bus trips for some of our games and when we have to charter fights they're short trips. Fans can drive to most of the away games which is a big plus. We play in our recruiting area which is positive for the recruits famiies. Our student athletes only have to deal with 1 time zone (usually) which is a big plus for not being tired and getting their school work done. Fullerton got schooled by Douple. Fullerton should have made UND/USD a package deal and he might have gotten them. UND and SUU announced early and that left USD with options. You all know what happened after that. You are now out on a island and get use to most of the BSC bitching about playing you without a true travel partner. By the way thanks for taking SUU off our hands!

Good read... http://www.flatheadbeacon.com/articles/article/griz_grit_und_blowing_in_the_wind/20548/

What did you expect him to say - "We don't have the money or fan base to move up" Everyone knew that the Montana schools wanted the Dakota schools in the conference. I wonder what they think about SUU?

There's no reason for NDSU to go to the BSC even if they asked. Very happy where we're at.

We'll find out next year as we play them September 24th!

Where was und and you during our transition? Funny how it's different when the shoe is on the other foot. The big difference is during our transition we gave the fans something to hang their hats on. Wins over MN, Central MI, Ball State helped a lot plus it makes recruiting easier. UND has to play and win a big game. Maybe this weekend, as you have a wounded Giz to play.

When the football team starts winning the fans will come. Everyone loves a winner. Since hockey is the dominate sport (by far) it's easy to figure out what the other sports have to do to get fans in the stands. WIN

As usual you're wrong again - Mr. Tayor has send out contracts to play UND but your AD has always had an excuse not to sign.

Yeah I'm sure the teams in the BSC will love to fly into gf for a volleyball game and then 90 minutes later fly back home. Sounds like a good plan. It won't take long for the bitching to start.

As long as they still fly Delta, I doubt Delta cares. I think most big airlines hate small market airports.
