IMO a lot of 1883 will be going to hockey (since it can be designated), so this is a good idea. Lots of football alumni out there that hopefully will step up.

Agreed, very confident we will. Fan sites are for ranting

Well they do play a series of game every week right - so it could be worth a road trip.

Could ask the same question about Sac State and Southern Illinois. SI's two "biggest" games are Southwest Missouri and Youngstown State. How do those measure up to NDSU, USD and SDSU? I agree with the saying "You have to earn respect" but until last year we were right up there for previous years. Why doe Sac State and SI get to hand around after basically the same year as we had last year. Agreed pre-season means nothing and certainly not to the players, but it would be nice to get a footnote once in awhile.

Craig Haley will deny it and even make money off a t-shirt, but he ignores UND every year. Pure conjecture on Sac State and if a team like Youngstown or Southern Ill brought in the transfers we did he would instantly be calling them "teams to watch".

I'm thinking the Fan Lunches during football season will take on a whole new intensity

I once read that when you make a coaching change it needs to be one that flips the coaching philosophy, mentality and intensity - the MN Vikings are a good example over their past coaching changes. Nothing wrong with either style, but I would say UND hit the nail with their change.

Based on their on court performance and how fast the new coaching staff has moved forward, most fans are accepting that those eight have moved on.

The National Basketball Association (NBA) announced that 106 players have filed as early entry candidates for NBA Draft. Treysen Eaglestaff was among the names listed. He has until June 15th to withdraw. #ITANativeSports Hope he has someone looking out for his best interests.

It didn't take the coaching staff or the fans long to move on from the players that left.

I wish Mal the best and I have nothing to base this on other than Hutton's success at Mayberry U, but I feel more confident that this coaching staff will be able to coach up the players they recruit. In addition they are recruiting players that fit their philosophy and plan.

WBB: spending too much time announcing and signing players MBB: not spending enough time announcing and signing players. Got it.

Do the hockey players ever have to go outside (assuming they are taking their classes online)?

What would you have liked to see at a spring ball scrimmage?

Tonight's attendance will be a good measure of how much the fan base has bought in to the new leadership. I'm predicting attendance will be up.
