If it isn't authorized by UND it's a counterfeit. They look nice, but unless it's authorized by the University, and the University is getting their cut, it's a counterfeit. There's a ton of cool looking homemade Sioux stuff that is 100% counterfeit as it was not authorized by UND. Just private folks making a few bucks.

I doubt the SS will customize any counterfeit jerseys.

While everyone is entitled to an opinion, that doesn't mean their opinion isn't flat out wrong. Pregame atmosphere will be by far the best of any regular season game. Demand for tickets by far the highest. This series is the definition of a rivalry. These school could not play for 20 years and it would still be a rivalry.

Good Luck finding someone honestly disrespected by someone standing for the anthem, facing the flag with hand on heart and yelling Sioux. You honestly don't see a difference in intent here? I love my country and my university. What better way to honor both.

It will be interesting with both teams able to set their rotations and 25 man roster for just that one game. They can reset the roster for the ALDS so basically only one starter in the 25 players. I wonder if they will go with Santana, followed by Berrios for a couple innings, or if they just turn it over to the bullpen.

Mauer's $23,000,000 is high, but it wasn't crazy at the time it was given. He has one more year on the deal at $23,000,000. The young guys have several more years before they are UFAs. Buxton, Rosario, Sano, and Berrios will be relatively cheap for 3-4 more years. Dozier will need big $ soon if they keep him, and they need pitching. They have a decent window before the young guys will bail for more $, but have a few holes to fill.

Twins schedule - Toronto (4), Detroit (7), Yanks (3), Cleveland (3) Angels - Texas (3), Cleveland (3), Houston (4), White Sox (4), Seattle (3) If the Twin 10 of 17 the Angels need to go 12-5 to tie. That would be tough with their schedule.

The secondary market is a true indication of FMV. You believe the FMV of the gopher tickets is $40-$45? If so no tickets will be sold at $100. I'll bet they sell out in a hurry. $40 is FMV for a holiday game, I agree with that.

Tickets should be sold for fair market value. FMV isn't $40 for these tickets. This is much better than having an artificially low price, causing a ton of people to scramble trying to buy tickets to flip. It makes no sense for the school to sell a $100+ asset to me for $40. It also makes no sense for me to be mad that my school doesn't want me to get an asset at a huge discount. I'd much rather have the program making $ off the tickets than some flipper.

I think the problem is everyone thinks their opinion is valid. Just because someone has a opinion doesn't mean that opinion isn't 100% wrong and without factual support. People need to think before spouting off how they feel. No one NEEDS to give it a rest, but it would behoove them to give it a rest when it makes them look like uneducated self-centered fools to the vast majority of folks. Some folks just don't realize how their knee jerk reactions are perceived by others. The cut teams are obviously disappointed. The situation could have been handled better. The effected folks can handle it with class or like spoiled brats. Looks like a few are going with the latter. I doubt anyone wanted to cut any programs, but you must accept reality on realities terms. From an institutional perspective a tough decision had to be made, and it appears from an effect and financial approach the correct decision was made.

I completely agree. The way the team played in the last few games was impressive. Next year may not have ultra high end talent, but there will be 4 solid lines that could be miserable to pay against. If the returning players (especially the D) play like they did against DU, UMD, and BU I expect good things. D core should be better than last year.

I agree, word spreads instantaneously. There is no way to handle the notice issue without getting blasted by someone. I think they attempted to handle that in the proper manner, but word leaked. A tough situation for everyone involved.

Played one year of intramural broomball. We lost in the finals in a shootout. Still haunts me to this day. At least I scored on my shot. I remember heading over to the old ralph after midnight to play the games after IM hockey.

1996 for me. Good times.

I agree. You knew after the game was tied 3-3, with UND still on the PP, that a makeup call was coming. That came with the Pogo penalty. The JJ one wasn't a dive, the guy's skates hit the boards and he went down. I won't have called it, but the penalty for Jost being "hooked" was worse. The Olson penalty was a total joke. The Simonson penalty was a crosscheck, but a total flop. A think a couple trips called on UMD were just player's losing an edge on crappy ice. Ref's had a horrible game.

I've gone other years, missed this year. Never an issue with the ushers. Food is overpriced at every sporting event. If you don't want to pay the high prices that's up to you. The convenience of being downtown and getting around through the skyways it great. I much prefer the X as a facility, but can live with the TC.

I thought he looked a little disoriented skating out of the zone. Man I hope he's on the ice at practice tomorrow.

I agree, but that call was for the same thing they called when Jost was held a minute earlier. Both should have been no calls in the situation.

He's also plays the point on the first line power play. Be kinda odd not to have him out there. If the roles were reversed with Boeser he'd still be the quarterback on the PP.

My glasses are tinted green, but I really don't see the outrage for the Poolman hit. There are 50 hits a game worse than that one. If he wasn't hurt nobody would have said a word about that hit. Nobody on the ice, including the UND players, reacted at all like there was a cheap shot. Berry and staff weren't saying anything or looking concerned until Tucker got to the bench and Piunk ran Cam. The Johnson hit was an entirely different story. Refs were absolutely brutal both ways. The Poolman pairing was playing great. Losing or having a diminished Tucker will be a significant blow.

Yep - AA (Bantams only), A, B1, and B.

Not sure if Bismarck could field (3) teams. In looking at numbers of bantam and peewee teams by city (not counts actual kids as the roster sizes vary) GF - 6 Bantam, 7 peewee - 2 high schools Fargo - 8 Bantam, 11 peewee - 3 high schools Bismarck - 4 Bantam, 5 peewee - 2 high school Minot - 3 Bantam, 4 peewee - 1 high school Number of HS teams in proportion to bantam teams Bismarck is at the bottom.

Mandan has 2 Bantam teams and 2 peewee teams. Williston has 1 Bantam and 2 peewee. Mandan is building a new facility with 2 rinks which should open next year. It's a bottleneck in Mandan with only one rink. Limits potential number of kids and available ice time. I can't see either of these schools having a JV squad in the next 5 years.

By Dave's logic the Ivy League is clearly the best football conference. It can't be disputed.

I really thought a Pogo, Gardner, whoever, line would be a dominant line and great compliment to the top time. With an added year I thought they would be as good or better than the "heavy line" from last year and be physically dominant. That just hasn't happen. Maybe Johnson should get more credit for last year. With the Boeser, Jost, Gersich line, and 3-4 lines that can at least hold serve, I see that second line as the big disappointment. No need to break up the top line if the 2nd is producing.
