I like the single elimination, but rather than seeding 1-8, I think they should seed it by the pods from this season, 1W-4E, 1E-4W, etc. With the unbalanced schedule, I think that would be the fairest setup and set up fresher and more interesting matchups in the quarterfinals.

Not sure why Scheel wasn't out the whole time down 2.

Players is a notable absence from the list. That place was always hopping.

Roku stream has been much improved last week or so.

I found that a while back but all that was available was Hockey East. Still hopeful though.

Not if its 3 on 3 in my opinion. Hate that new rule.

BBC World Service news is only one I listen to on Sirius XM.

If you've got a Roku, I'd suggest all of NHK World Japan, France24, SkyNews and Deutsche Welle. You need to be aware that they covering from the perspective of their home nations, but there is far more actual reporting and thoughtful analysis from actual experts, versus the opining from star anchors that passes for much of the news on now. From a print and online perspective, The Economist is absolutely top notch. Broad coverage of vast array of international issues, both political and economic. I miss that you can't get it with frequent flier miles anymore.

It's also not at all accurate. I decided to check a few places to see if the article was backed by facts, it wasn't. Biden vastly outperformed Clinton in every major metro in Texas, as well as here Denver in Colorado. He also did better in Orlando and Tampa, but not Miami (the Cuban-Americans came out big for Trump) Was slightly down in San Fran, about even in LA, but better in San Diego. In Wisconsin, Biden did do better in Milwaukee, but even more so in Madison. And in Minnesota Biden vastly outperformed Clinton in the Twin Cities, and even in Duluth, where Trump has several appearances. The enthusiasm poll is meaningless. A lot of Bernie types maybe weren't excited to vote for Biden, but they weren't going to let a repeat of 2016 happen. If there were irregularities, there would be evidence. There is none.

Yes, and pulling them out of the secondary secrecy envelope, also reviewing if they were signed. A number of reasons before they get put on the pile to be counted.

With regard to playing in the pros, I think he will be treated like Luke Heimlich. Just don't see a team signing him. Optics are just palatable to sponsors and the like. And this will be a huge distraction for UND all season. May be fortunate that games will be played with no fans to start the year, but it's unrealistic to think this won't be an issue for as long as he is here.

I don't see any non con unless it's prior to bubble and those would need to happen by Nov 13-14. Best bet might be an exhibition against Bemidji

I hadn't thought of three games series, but that would be a great way to cut cost and minimize travel. In that case I'd guess UND and Omaha would each play DU and CC once apiece in the pod. That would allow DU and CC to play all there games against each other in Colorado and UND and Omaha would play each other in two three game series. You could also set up scheduled for the DU and CC trips are back to back, with a Friday-Saturday series followed by a Thursday-Saturday series, and only make one flight, staying in Colorado during the week.

Jays hold tiebreaker over Yankees.

Any member with an ounce of integrity would not vote. McConnell set the precedent. Trying to fill the seat now that throws all of the "law and order" arguments out the door and would be the height of hypocrisy.

Letting the Indians pass them wouldn't be terrible. Avoids the match-up with the Yankees. Don't see them catching ChiSox at this point.

Great potential regional site if neutral format continues.

At this point the most logical decision might be for MVFC to cancel non conference, and add two games to conference schedule and play a true round robin this year. Still a 10 game schedule and shouldn't be to hard to rework. Just add the additional games in the weeks of Sept. 12 and 19, with the two off teams playing on the 26th. Only move necessary would be the South Dakota Missouri St. game from Sept. 19 to Nov. 7.

I can see an 8 week regular season, in September and October, Conference championships weekend of Halloween and then an 8 team playoff using the Big 6 Bowls. Quarterfinals Nov. 6-7 (one game Friday night and then Noon, 4 and 8 ET on Saturday), Semis on Nov 14 and FBS title on Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend. FCS could do the same but still have 16 team team playoff starting the week of FBS Conference championships. Still get a season in before flu season really kicks off. In all honesty it’s better for student athletes as well, although that is rarely a deciding factor for any decisions.

The mural in the gym was pretty sweet. Probably best in the area although Berthold's was right up there.

And Duluth, Brainerd, Mitchell etc.

1997. Season ended OK.

Would love to see the Engelstads sponsor an invitational at the REA if things have settled before May. A 2020 tournament of champions. Invite each of the six league champs. 1 UND and 2 Mankato get byes to the semis. 3 Cornell vs 6 American International and 4 Boston College vs 5 Penn State in the quarterfinal. Play it over Friday night, Saturday night and Monday night final and donate profits to an appropriate cause. It wouldn't be an NCAA title, but it would be some closure to the season. Maybe throw in the Hobey annoucement at the same time since there won't be a Frozen Four. Have Hoeven lean on the NCAA is some sort of exemption is needed to allow it.

Easy, Michigan. 1998 and 2011 especially, but more the fact they simply won't play us. Denver, BC, Minnesota... all tough opponents but I respect their programs and history.
