All tickets sold.

2 in section 302A Row G right above the entryway in the upper deck on the end UND shoots twice. Seats on the aisle in a 6 seat row, so people aren't coming in and out all the time. $30 each.

After hearing numerous people say they moved or chose to live in surrounding communities around Grand Forks because of some of the taxes here, I have decided that they should be paying for some of the infrastructure around Grand Forks as well because they are working here and utilizing the benefits of the city. So, this time around I will be voting for the Sales tax.

Classic!

Friday tickets gone. Saturday's still available.

Agreed, we have some nice prospects in the pipeline in the years to come. With the possibility of Gersich leaving, we could use another late bloomer to fill his spot as a scorer, even though he hasn't been putting up a lot of points yet this year. Keane, Senden and Mattson don't appear to be guys that would impact scoring a lot as freshmen, so like you said an overager with a bit of a scoring touch might be needed.

What typically happens is that coaches tell the player that they probably won't see much playing time if they should choose to come.

Jordan Schmaltz too!

Guess I don't mind holding off on getting too many verbals now, as I would like to have room for the late developers and transfers as well. Ultimately many of these guys that are committing will end up not developing similar to guys like Mike Fink and Danny Mattson. Certainly there is pressure to pull the trigger on some of these guys that appear to have a high end now, but realistically how many of them will stay at that level. Got to be hard watching Wisconsin getting all these verbals, knowing there can't possibly be enough room for them all, but we will see how that all ends up working out for them. Maybe that will turn into the norm and the NCAA will be forced to do something about early recruiting.

Yeah, I did it last night. Went pretty smooth. Appreciate the input.

Do you just have to put in your account number on the Roku to get the btn2go, or do you have to set up some user id and password ahead of time?

Where's Irish tonight? Don't look now, but our freshmen scorers have put up just as good of numbers as BU's have, and they have apparently played better on the other end as well.

Have 2 tickets each night for Friday and Saturday games against Miami on November 10 & 11. Section 302A Row G, right above the entryway on the aisle of the upper deck on end UND shoots twice. $30 each. PM me if interested.

Was thinking the same thing.

Probably not the best time to have a group of people from around the country to kick off a tourism campaign, but I'm sure they have seen student behavior across the country is not always "G" rated.

People were asking the same questions in Fargo this fall when the Bison ran into a rash of injuries in a short time period, and their strength and conditioning program has consistently resulted in a great push on both sides of the ball.

That would be awkward. Maybe it would bring them back together.

I like the quote from Schierhorn in the Strib about these are the kind of games why you come to the University of Minnesota to play in because of the atmosphere. Said how unbelievable it was. Guess what, you get to play more games that have good or great atmosphere at the University of North Dakota, than a half full arena at Mariucci. Ironically Eric, if your coach had his way, you and your teammates wouldn't have had that experience last weekend. Speaking of the atmosphere, did anyone see any recruits on our bench last weekend during warm-ups?

They can't be as bad as they have been, and once Mittelstadt gets back and is comfortable with the set up, they should be a lot better, especially with some of the Big Ten defenses. Minnesota will be there in the end, so I doubt anyone is feeling sorry for them.

No need to further explain, I understand now, your first sentence says it all.

Kawaguchi will figure it out at sometime too, and Kiersted showed well until Bast was ready to go.

This doesn't feel far removed from that: "How in the hell did a program of our stature, with the best fans in the country, and coming off a a National Championship two years ago end up with a team with no scorers or playmakers. This is painful to watch."

The point is that you don't just get those players to produce right away very often. Adams has been pretty good this year so far, and I would think his numbers are about as good as some of the BU freshmen, maybe even better if you count plus/minus, and that may be more important in many circumstances. Remember the cries of why can't we be as good as Boston College? Well they have been devastated by early departures like us the last few years, and they haven't exactly been able to just fill in with impact freshmen. Even if you get a first round draft pick, it doesn't guarantee immediate impact.

Was he in the building tonight because of injury? I saw his mom there.

Yeah, funny how the doomsdayers are now excited about the team on a night we didn't actually play as well. The fact that such a young team is playing shutdown hockey should be exciting as it is because UND doesn't usually take off offensively until the second half. Maybe that is because of the progression they always talk about. You need to be able to defend in your end first instead of cheating for offense, then you can get the chemistry going. Maybe that's why Kawaguchi has sat a couple times already.
