  1. Can anybody tell me why NHL referees are not required to wear helmets, since they have made that a requirement for players.

    If I am not mistaken it is because the ref(s) in question were "grandfathered in" from the days when they were not required to where helmets.

  2. So if we are going to make the move, when is it going to be announced? After all of that hype things seem to have gotten very quiet. You would think a D-1 move would be anounced before the Mid-Con meeting, though.

  3. I love rhubarb pie. The only place that I can get it down here is at Village Inn. They have a strawbeery rhubarb pie that is great.

    Yep. Rhubarb is great. We have some rhubarb bars in the fridge right now.

  4. I was at the Georgia Dome for a conference last fall. From what I could tell they had left the turf down and had covered it with plywood and a tarp kind of thing. Because if you looked around the curtain blocking off the end of the field not being used, you could see the turf. And also, in corners you could see the green coming out from under the covering.

  5. I'm sorry to tell you this will be my last post on the subject for about a week. I have a vacation coming up. Good Luck in the next week!

    I will miss the input. You bring a lot of good stuff to the table... Well have fun on the vacation.

  6. If, and its a big "if," Mayville State was to close its doors or even just cut back or eliminate its athetics Minot State would have to move up to D2; I would think anyways. The Minot State president just anounced that they were not going to move up but I bet things would change in a hury if the DAC fell to seven teams.

  7. Hockey will be just fine, and we could share in the Frozen Four dough that Minnesota, Wisconsin, Maine, New Hampshire, Denver, (the list goes on and on) are getting. I'm not saying it's big bucks, but it's money we are now leaving on the table.

    Thanks for the reassurance and also for the information about the "dough" we are missing out on. I was curious about that stuff.

  8. If they can make this fly in Bozeman and Missoula, we sure as hell can do this in Fargo and GF.

    Darn right! Lets makes this work. I have been kind of leery of a D1 move thinking it could hurt the hockey team but when you think about it would the U really want to hurt its biggest asset?

  9. I am with ya "The Sicatoka." UND should take a serious look at Lacrosse. Lacrosse is ripe for college expansion. The public is supportive, not only based on attendance but this too

    "We think lacrosse is the next major college sport," said Brian Bedol, the president and co-founder of College Sports TV. "We're probably not a long way from having 100 games on in season. Now that's not all on the linear network, it's on broadband and OnDemand, too. But within two years I think that's what you'll see."
    Lacrosse has a nice schedule length, too; Navy had seven home games in this year's regular season. That is more games than football but not as many as hockey and b-ball. Man, I can't hardly find anything on conference locations, footprints, and etc. But I imagine if UND picked it up there would be considerable travel costs. But on the other hand they could be at the fore-front of mid-western lacrosse, which could translate into national championships down the road.
  10. I think lacrosse would be a nice sport to have at UND. And it looks like if we added it now we could get a jump on the rest of the schools in this part of the country. Travel costs are higher but you have better recruitment. From the attendance numbers at the National Tournament it looks like there is some interest too. Maybe lacrosse is the next revenue generating sport.

  11. The Bison-Sioux rivalry will continue shortly, just wait.

    I am looking forward to it ;) It would be great if we could beat them the first time we play them in football again. But I digress.

  12. If ForumComm and/or Leighton got the contract would people outside of the Valley still be able to get radio broadcasts? We would still have the internet but radio would sure be nice. Here in central NoDak it is kinda nice to know that pretty much every Fri and Sat (when there is a game) 1390AM (Clear Chanel) has Sioux hockey on.

  13. Anyone know how profitable WDAZ-TV's broadcast of UND hockey games are? If the WDAY TV/radio loses NDSU sports, could Forum Communications be looking at adding UND hockey broadcasts to WDAY-TV and KBMY-TV (Bismarck) / KMCY-TV (Minot)? The WDAZ connection to WDAY/Forum Communications/NDSU was never ideal for UND, as it limited broadcast TV options to NE North Dakota.

    It would be sweet to be able to watch hockey on broadcast TV out of Minot. The last game on KMCY-TV that I know of was the inagural game at the new Ralph between UND and UofM.

  14. What channel do you listen to? I am in the middle of the state when I come home and I can't find a channel that has them on.

    Sorry for not replying for so long...I have not checked this thread for a while. Both hockey and football games are on 1390AM from Minot, though they don't broadcast very powerfully. They are religious with hockey games, pretty much everyone (I do recall a late night Alaska-Anchorage game being interupted though); I am not sure about fooball though. Out of Bismarck, hockey is suppose to be on 710AM but I recall it not being on there earlier this year for at least one game (local sports instead). I never used to folow fooball so I am not sure what the coverage is like from Bismarck.

    And thanks bincitysioux for answering the question.
