Can't say I've ever attended a Bison football game after the rivalry was suspended but a friend of mine who is a fan and down in Frisco posted a clip on FaceBook of the national anthem being sung. Do the fans actually say "Home of the Bison" at every game? If so, how original. I certainly don't remember Bison fans doing that when I attended the last UND-NDSU football game in the FargoDome.

I don't disagree and you are very much right on UMD/Sandelin. That's why I hope Hakstol can win one soon. It'd put this discussion into hibernation for a while.

Last I checked, Urban at least has a history of winning a national championship. Which is something Hakstol is lacking and as to why people are losing patience over every season with no results. Hell, there's a reason why Sandelin has a pretty good length leash. He's had some not so good seasons but he's notched a natty. I still think Hakstol is the man but I can see why there is clamoring to get rid of him.

Midco shows the stick salute right at the end of the broadcast. Had to shove one more commercial down our throats instead of being able to see it live.

Yep, very much agreed. It's getting to be really tough to watch them...granted we have been spoiled with some good years(minus post season choking). Not use to seeing a UND team struggle this much. Yikes... If things keep going the way it is, I don't see the second half of the season being much different.

Ahh, well hopefully they get that figured out soon!

We'll still enjoy kicking Minnesota's @$$ while their fans will bemoan of not caring about the rivalry blah blah blah. Works for me.

It's because we don't.

I liked Forbort. Really stepped up as he got older. Could've really used his presence this year!

Big win for the team. They matched up against Miami much better than I thought they would. Really loved the CBS Sports Network broadcast. If only we could have Starman calling all UND games.

Another one of those "what the hell happened" situations.... Did he not like the fact he was still playing in Penticton? I just don't get it with some of these kids. They fluff up about committing to so and so college to only de-commit and sing a different tune. Alternatively, I wonder if Seattle kept hounding the kid and finally made an offer that he couldn't refuse. Next years class is still packed with high caliber recruits, I wonder if that was used against him? If he goes to Seattle, he'll most likely be a top line guy with the Thunderbirds' other top prospect(Barzal?).

Manitoba player checks Thompson from behind and then went after Saunders. What a dumbass.

Look very sharp. Glad they are back. Goes very well with the center ice ND logo.

As big of a UND fan I am, I don't think UND fits the criteria of what the Big Ten is looking for even if it is just for an BTHC-only affiliation.

Cool news but the rivalry isn't going to be like it ever was when they were conference-mates. Games against Denver and most likely Miami are going to be more hyped. Still, it doesn't hurt to continue playing the gophers. Won't be the same though.

Agreed! The weekend can't come soon enough. I'm readyto get my UND hockey fix.

We can look back at this after 2 complete seasons of the BTHC. Either Goon will have all the facts that you seem to always hunger for or he'll be wrong.

MafiaMan beat me to the punch. Saves me a response though. Gopher fans think UMTC is big time yet most folks nationally aren't even aware of them either! Let me know how that "national exposure" works out after the college hockey game is played, Mariucci. I'm sure it is going to do wonders.

Lol this is the best explanation I mean excuse you got? Most people don't even know Ohio State has a hockey team! Hell, just look at their attendance at home games. OSU students don't even know! National exposure and Ohio State hockey....haha! Funny. Also, if I recall UND hockey games were the highest watched games for the NBC Sports Network. Trumping games of Michigan and Notre Dame that they aired. I mean come on dude. It's bloody hockey that we are talking about!

Such as how long of an extension in his contract Mussman will take? The Mussman project was a joke from the start and to think he'd translate to a full fledged FCS head coach was a pipe dream. Unfortunately, I just don't see UND making a move like NDSU did in getting Bohl. They're too busy paying a hockey coach who hasn't won a national championship yet. PS Hockey fans, I support Hakstol as coach, just trying to get my point across. We got this highly paid hockey coach and then we got Mussman...

Looks like Minot State football players will be taking the cake from NDSU. Yikes.... Minot State football player charged with attempted murder: http://www.minotdailynews.com/page/content.detail/id/577872/MSU-player-charged-with-attempted-murder.html?nav=5010

Looks like Gabe forgot to pick up his halo when checking into UMTC. At least he didn't drop his like Haula.

^ That's good an all but I just want him to solve UND's propensity to blow 2-goal leads. Blais would never let a team of his blow a 2-goal lead. Nope. He can leave the worldly matters to Captain Planet.

One of my all-time favorite Gopher fan excuses. So and so was just so tired or they've been jet lagged for the past 2 months!!
