Actually, I think that he and Foles are cousins or something like that. So it's all good.

Both you and UND-1 are spot on. UND could have done it, too, but it would have entailed hitting academics hard. Choices were made, and now here we are.... it is what it is. Maybe we should quit looking back so much (and over the fence for that matter)....grass is always greener around the outhouse.

Do your homework!

Wait, you mean Coach Jones doesn't base playing time on how many competing offers you had 2-3 years ago in high school and instead bases it on who's putting in the time and work in practices?? Good Lord, I'm speechless!

Do you think the students even realized what they just saw?

Waiting for hockey.

Though I cannot be sure because the NYT piece was was so confusing in spots, I think the writer meant that UND Hockey —in general — is the unifying force and not just WH. A major fallacy with the story is how it repeatedly conflates UND Hockey in general with UND women’s hockey as an isolated program. Because, if we’re honest, the vast majority of people locally, statewide, regionally and even nationally, when they think of hockey at UND, are envisioning the men’s squad. If they are not, then it is qualified appropriately or the contextual setting makes it clear.

No worries. I saw her interviewed once during halftime of an NAU football game.

Your so called “former NAU guy” is actually a dame. Or at least identifies as such.

Argggh.... my hot takes suck today. Thanks!

Hearing Morton is the leader in the clubhouse.

Correction: 12 of Brew's, 1 of Pryors.

Some rebuilding year for the Huskers!

Win or lose, taking Gonzaga to OT IS BIG.

I was thinking the same. If you you're not knowledgable enough about the program to have a basic handle on players names and postions, your are beyond casual, and aren't worth the time it takes to respond. Now, damn it, Jdub27, you spurred me to do it anyway. LOL!

well, crap. You are the one UND was trying to please. Now what?

Would love for FD to be a tenacious rebounder inside and someone with the ability to alter shots and get easy finishes this season as she works herself back into a basketball mindset and works on her shot. This year could be fun, but losing only Franklin, next year, could be special, depending on how strong USD and SDSU are.

Not sure. But The Betty acoustics make it barely audible and underwhelming. I think there are sirens that can be faintly heard at the beginning.

Legalize it. It’s not harmless but when it come to freedoms, that shouldn’t be the litmus test. I like the old saying that is oft repeated when it comes to guns and the second amendment, and I paraphrase: “if you sacrifice your freedoms for security, you’ll have neither.” Not for total anarchy but c’mon....like with alcohol...prohibition of this drug is not worth the cost of the fight.

Yeah, I agree. Although, I thought that was the players’ choice. Go figure.

A pasty dude from Ellendale, N.D. LOL! The best player on the floor last night played for PC and was barely 6-0 wearing shoes. Reminded me of Aaron Anderson. They played engaged and tenacious on both ends of the court. Again, they played us like we play big P5 programs that swap 7-3 centers for 7-1 centers when they go to the bench. You know those away games where you hear the obligatory gracious sound byte from the color guy that goes something like this "This Fighting Hawks squad...they've got no quit. They didn't just come here to stand around and watch.... they're a good well-coached program." All the while, we're at home rolling our eyes upon hearing that. PC played us that way, with more grit and more pride. The phrase: "it was their Superbowl" comes to mind. UND has made plenty of P5 fan bases frustrated with their teams over the years, only to later watch their team go far in the Tourney... while we settle for .500 or slightly better and an away trip in the CIT. PC played the role of us last night. These are not excuses. I just don't know how much can be read into these games overall.

There is certainly D 1 talent out there on the floor... they just were not on the same page last night, exhibited lots of selfish play (balling) and bad decision making ( i.e. opting for a contested three over passing inside to Avants for a higher percentage look.) That and the free throws still aren't dropping, though, PC was equally as brutal from the line. The score was not indicative of the disparity in the talent level on floor last night. UND looked disinterested for long stretches, while PC steadily kept pushing... similar to how UND plays against bigger programs. Jones also played a lot of newer faces a lot last night, so there wasn't a whole lot of continuity on the floor. Geno rested for long stretches and Tez sat the whole way after the 10 min. mark of the first half. The officials were brutal toward UND in the last 10 minutes and T'd up Coach Jones, which helped PC close the gap that much more. Jones was justified in his criticism of the official who seemed to take things way too personal, IMHO. UND was up by as many as 22 at one point and for the most part held a lead between 15-20 until the last 6 minutes. I wouldn't read too much into this game, but I am concerned, as always, with our continued struggles from the line.

Pryor seems to be bringing an "act like you've been there before" mentality to this year's squad.. but that said, I agree with your overall point. Community engagement and letting the fans embrace the moment is important too.
