Luckily the Forum doesn't make the decision. And to be fair if USD wins, NDSU would get 2. But that's why they play the games.

This is revisionist history. The program regained prominence under Blais and even he had great teams that bowed out of the NCAAs early. Getting to the Frozen Four is fun, but ultimately the Hak era is the Buffalo Bill's period in terms of NCAA performance with plenty of heartbreaking losses and a Red Sox like cursed feeling. And i might be in the minority but I definitely value regular season titles higher the final five/frozen faceoff the fact that we hang banners for them would indicate the program does as well. This year has been a disappointing one but to ignore and diminish the success of the previous 3 seasons is pretty short sighted.

What a joke.

Sad to see the decline of the Spoilers. Rich hockey tradition there.

Those Carolina jerseys are pretty sweet.

8 teams Thursday, Friday, Sunday at a single site and it might make sense. Shootout if needed so no marathon OTs. Something to kill time during Final Four weekend. Maybe also use it as an opportunity to test rule changes for the following year. WCHA, ECAC and Atlantic Hockey teams especially would appreciate opportunities to play name programs. Not the best idea in the world, but also not the worst. No different than the NIT, CIT et al and most of the garbage bowl games.

Ragged play coming out of TO. Need to get FT miss or steal here.

Home for Christmas so first extended viewing but Hoskins is a really complete player. Enjoy her effort.

Pretty sure Boise St. and a couple of others would be devastated to be left in that grouping. And not sure what happened to the rest of the actual Mountain West teams.

Yes, a medical redshirt from his year at Mizzou. The Athletic ran a story on him about a month ago. Seems like a good guy.

Yes I think they did probably even stay 3 just to avoid immediate um osu rematch

TCU overtime play calls on 3rd and 4th just atrocious. QB had made plays and took it out of his hands. Crazy.

Classic Watergate. It's not the act, it's the cover up. UND with another self inflicted wound.

So UND is making money on a trademark it doesn't own? Bold Strategy, Cotton.

And we can have FTX sponsor our move up.

This group is fun to watch. First game I've gotten to see this year but there us definitely something here.

I thought my response was sufficiently tongue in cheek. But fitting the system to the players and simplifying is exactly what I've said previously. Keep trying to jam the square peg into the round hole is not going to bring success.

Cool. Let's get Bama and Georgia level talent and we should be good.

Well Bohl had spent 1 year there but it had been 20 years prior so he was definitely bringing a fresh approach. Also once on a championship roll it certainly makes more sense to stick with things. I don't see the situations as the same.

This kind of thinking is problematic. UND HC job can't be like grandma's China where someone just inherits it. Whenever Bubba leaves they need to look far and wide to find the best person to lead this program and hopefully inject some fresh ideas and vision. We've had the RT coaching tree for 35 years so next hire may be best coming from outside that, keeping some legacy guys as assistants.

Have to go for 2 here

Thats what he saved the TOs for I guess

Not sure why you don't go for 2 there. Make it a 2 score game.

If we don't force a TO this could be over.

Their OLine is killing us.
