  1. A little disappointing they chose ASU for the Vegas game, almost any opponent would work in Vegas. ASU would have been perfect for a Phoenix game or even a SoCal game.
  2. I agree with that sentiment, but UND will play anyone, so I see that as a possibility to play Michigan. No way I'd want to see a series in Ann Arbor though, without a series in GF first.
  3. I don't see a Phoenix game now that they are playing ASU in Vegas. Opponent is a key Some I could see Vs Michigan in Chicago Vs Notre Dame in Tampa Vs Air Force in Seattle Vs LIU in NYC Vs Ohio St. In DC Vs Wisconsin in Anaheim The trend has been for marquee names as the opponents, so I think you'll see primarily Big Ten teams, BC or ASU, barring some potential local connection like LIU. Other option is Ivy if the game is in December like MSG game was. Also helps to have notable UND alums connected to a lot of these (or in Tampa's case a UND title run).
  4. You mean tiktok videos might not be providing sound medical advice.
  5. Compressing playoffs also allows for another off week during the season. Including all 11 teams means the number of playoff games is only cut by 1-5. The third games are often on Sunday nights and not well attended anyway. Every game being an elimination game certainly heightens the intensity and is good preparation for the NCAAs.
  6. It doesn't need an explanation but it does need Mario. Pretty cool though.
  7. I'd take a side trip to Vernal, it sounds like Yellowstone and Tetons already on your agenda. Utah has some spectacular fall colors.
  8. I'd like to see more promotion in general. Could definitely move a basketball game each year out to Minot or Bismarck to expand local interest. Build in a fan fest type event and maybe a hockey watch party with some former players. With South Dakota having no college hockey I think an occasional game in Sioux Falls or Rapid City would also make sense. Maybe play a game against Air Force in Rapid City. Midco is a presence there so why not. It's a family friendly common man's destination game that can an enhance a trip to the black hills that a lot of folks in Western ND could do.
  9. If only the seniors got an extra year, this would probably be a bigger problem. They have four years to work this through and with early departures and other attrition, it probably works itself out naturally.
  10. I think 8 victories in Frisco has made much more of an impact on the casual fan than being on KVLY. The fact that Fargo media companies have largely killed the local GF market also can't be underestimated in terms of coverage and attention.
  11. Nothing tricky on the TD! Now up to the defense to do their part.
  12. I kind of wish he would take the Maine job. He is a legend in that program and the Black Bears should be among the elite programs. Hope he can continue to find peace.
  13. I think the fact that JMU played some very weak opponents this year (admittedly not their fault, but still a reality) means they have yet to be smacked in the mouth. If we can jump on them early, that could be a key.
  14. Sunday night lights!
  15. Hopefully with a playoff win now in hand we can now ditch the "play not to lose" conservatism in 2nd halves. I get not running it up. But all these 3 and outs have had D on field too much.
  16. Yep, something else to make James Madison at least think about.
  17. Who'da thunk a playoff game would be when we might get an opportunity for some reps for the backups.
  18. I liked going deep on first down, but wish it had been a straight throw versus trick play. Expect a safety now.
  19. Go for the kill right here. Down field.
  20. Strong first half. Offense just can't get too conservative. Take the second half kickoff down and go up four scores.
  21. Grabbed the jersey. It was right call. Might have saved 6.
  22. Actually if you are retaining players already at the school you can exceed the scholarship limit. Kind of like the Larry Bird rule to NBA salary cap.
  23. If nobody leaves, how many freshman do you bring in. Or do you cut underclassmen who haven't produced. Remember that to keep a player for the extra year doesn't count against scholarship limits, (not sure if that will continue to apply until all classes have aged out). That means you will have a lot of depth and can more easily get guys a night off and weather injuries. Coaches have several years to figure it out, I'm sure the good ones will.
