You would think that winning should be enough motivation, but sometimes feeling slighted seems to get a person a bit more motivated. You always see guys that are traded away from teams perform quite well when they play their old team. You also have guys like Brooks Koepka that seem to perform very well when he feels slighted, and many times I think the slight is something he makes up to push himself to another level.

But for some questionable calls in the Minnesota/St. Cloud, Western Michigan / Michigan, games it could be 8-3 for the NCHC. Guess UND better do its part this weekend against Penn State.

Probably came on to Sioux Sports and saw that many fans think UND is miles behind Quinnipiac.

Usually you get to that spot of the field with no timeouts, you take two shots at the end zone and kick a field goal if you don’t connect. Not with our two yard passes and hope for someone to break tackles in an area of the field where that is very difficult. If you watch that last play, Tommy was the only one with sense. Everyone else stood there without trying to get open.

Didn’t look like a first down to me.

I guess we are just jinxed. Seriously, you’re going to take a chance on two runs where the clock won’t stop? Don’t be upset with the refs with stupid decisions like that. Why should the refs stop the clock to bail you out?

Wasn’t exactly air or touch on that pass either. Not good on such a short pass and your receiver isn’t even able to get a hand on it.

Or run play action off of a handoff to Weah.

I don’t consider self inflicted, or dumb calls jinxed.

This is why UND has problems. They stop Western with a chance to go up by more and they have a guy run into the kicker who had no intention of blocking the kick, ultimately ending in Western scoring.

Thank you. I was going to respond that we got a penalty in St. Cloud once for a reverse hit, but for some reason I was picturing Gage Ausmus, but now that you mentioned it, I can visualize the Blood hit clearly.

Guessing if the defense was as bad as people have said, they stick with their guy and commit to be better defensively.

Really? Already?

Just saying if there is stuff going on behind the scenes where he isn't being a good teammate, you can't just show up and have a good game and everything is fine with your teammates unless your mindset or actions change.

No, he wouldn't want a measly 6th round draft pick.

But I also wouldn't like the optics of because you perform well you get a pass on things, if indeed their are issues behind the scenes. I know what you are saying though, he better play well, then remove all doubt going forward.

Guess I am still not sure what he did. Were the rumors correct?

Gotcha. That makes it a little easier for those flying out a little earlier.

But that is more than 72 hours, which supposedly is the guideline.

Thought you were about Natty’s! None of those guys have Natty’s, unless Sanderson gets one this year. And you realize when we first recruited guys like Sanderson and Pinto they weren’t considered elite.

...and we’ve had plenty of guys that were thought of to be top end recruits when we got them and they didn’t develop later. Guys like Rizzo, Ryder Donovan, Ethan Bowen and Halliday were big time recruits at the time they committed. I wouldn’t trade a Donovan for Judd Caulfield.

Hope you're right. Take it to them!

My question is, why is the Ralph doing testing on Wednesday, 10/27 beginning at 7 a.m. if the standard is 72 hours?

UND had a problem with idiots throwing stuff on the ice years ago too. Their answer was to take the bottle caps from the beverage when you bought it, so hopefully it wouldn't be full of liquid. How about getting all of the eyes that you have around the arena for surveillance and find the idiots that did it. That is probably the reason they don't do it anymore, is because they can just pick the people out who would try something like that.

Certainly wouldn't be the first time that Jim Rich was wrong. He takes being a homer to another level.
