This is a lot like the hockey team thumping Manitoba. The season schedules (both hockey and football) look great. I love both sports and am glad UND is now D1 across the board.

Interesting twist on ticket marketing: Grand Forks Herald

We are playing Utah in 2017! Confirmed on the Herald website but the link doesn't work yet. Edit: Link Now works.http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/265205/group/homepage/

That is what I was referring to, was a ground breaking. I guess I didn't realize there was going to be a formal one.

How come there is no coverage in the Herald on this?

Nice to see a new hockey team.

Just saw this posted on the Live Chat.

Looks like we should be well represented at the NCHC turny. Jayson Hajdu:

No idea. LA Times Edit: sorry for all the hyperlinks that copy and pasted into there.

Phill Kessel against the Bruins should be interesting...

Toews. Matt Greene may be ready to go, they aren't saying.

It is hard to interpret that statement in any other way. It is nice to know we have high expectations in the athletics office.

I hear ya. I would like to keep my hopes down... what without knowing if we have defense and running game improvement and plus a freshman QB, but golly, this team better get its act together and win!

I'm surprised the figure is that high.

That is going to make things interesting in the Summit...

From Jody Norstedt's twitter: "More reax from Big 10 parting ways with FCS: #UND AD Brian Faison tells me he was in preliminary talks w/ Gophers about 2017 or 2018."

Pretty good interview. Enjoyable to listen to.

It is the Big Event today plus the Newman center bike race.

Hopefully he learned a lot about that kind of stuff with the experiments last year.

Not an Indian nickname, but relevant to this thread. DailyCaller Regarding UConn's new logo:

The diversion should not be built. I am not against protect for Fargo, but the diversion is far too costly with far too many negative impacts. Communities and farmers upstream would be flooded out. The diversion is being pushed so that Fargo can continue to develop to the south into the flood plain. I am 100% opposed to the diversion.

I think you nailed it. "Discover College Football Playoffs" etc.

I might be one of the few people in the country who didn't mind the Legends and Leaders stuff. I guess it goes back to my fondness of the old names in the NHL... I have just never been into the geographic names. They lack character and nostalgia.

Future members being Louisville, Pitt, and Syracuse plus Notre Dame partially. FargoBison is right, this should end realignment at least in the upper part of D1. ESPN
