    ask 1000 fans of all sports who they know more.....tj oshie or carson wentz.....it won't even be close.

    Add Jonathan Toews. Michael Jordan was famously shown wearing his jersey. I doubt any athletes from other sports have ever worn a Carson Wentz jersey or any of the other practice squad players from NDSU. Hockey is also much bigger internationally than football, so hockey players are known not only in Canada and the US, but Russia, Sweden, and other European countries.

    2024 Recruiting

    Fargo’s investment in football has paid off and will continue to pay off. UND’s uninspired maintenance of the status quo is not working, relatively speaking. Football is more popular than hockey. Hockey does allow for some differentiation for UND and Grand Forks, but it’s most certainly not enough by itself. Fargo has a monopoly on communications like you said, with Grand Forks having no voice. It will be hard for UND to bounce back unless they look to be aggressive in areas where Fargo holds an advantage (from a collegiate athletics standpoint, that’s football and basketball for starters). Maintaining just hockey is going to leave GF/UND at the status quo, which means Fargo (including NDSU athletics) ascending at a rate well beyond that of Grand Forks and UND athletics. But, well, there’s always hockey …

    The culture of constantly criticizing those with big ideas and novel plans is a dangerous one, and it typically always leaves those in that culture well behind in the end. Example: see division I approach back in early 2000s

    As for coaching staff and 2024 recruiting, more resources would certainly be nice. In essence, my point is that there does need to be more resources for UND football to grow, so I agree with you on that. But transitioning to different coaches is just the reality of change and progression in college athletics. UND will need to do this, sooner rather than later, to take the next step. Sorry if that hurts some of your feelings due to personal relationships.

    I digress. On to 2024 recruiting. 2024 very likely is going to be a rough season. Hope I’m wrong.

    You always start with the false narrative that "football is more popular than hockey". FBS football in the P5 conferences ONLY may be more popular than hockey, but FCS football is not anywhere close to being more popular than D1 hockey. UND is in the black in one sport and that is hockey. UND makes more from hockey than NDSU makes from football, and NDSU has dominated FCS football for over a decade. Keep telling yourself otherwise.

    Not going to lie. Didn't read a word of that novel.

    Like GoodGood said, I am absolutely in favor of kids having the ability to be paid what they are worth and make decisions that are best for them. 

    Not surprising since you are the same person posting under at least 3 different accounts.

    I guess I was the one spreading Fake news.  I totally missed that this was changed last year. 

    Doesn't change the fact it was not a split.

     

    How does that crow taste, despite the fact that you are still in denial? It is a split because it goes as a win on UND's record and a loss on BU's record. Additionally, we get at least 67% credit for the "win", whether you choose to call it that or not.

    James is our best 200 foot forward and has been since the end of last season. Hopefully he can find his scoring touch but his speed is a problem for most teams and he is phenominal on the penalty kill.

    James should be in the top 6. He has a great shot as shown last year against Omaha. Give him time. He has a lot of talent.
