You're stirring the pot right? N Iowa was last in, finished sixth in MVFC and held EW (third in BS) to 25 points below season average, weren't both Missouri State (which played another MVFC team) and SD the lower seed? SDSU pummeling UCD was impressive.

Talk about an emotionally exhausting situation for coaches. You invest years in a player, develop a relationship with them, become their life advisor and in some cases like a parent and then after a couple of years they walk away from you. And if you are a position coach you think you have finally recruited and developed a solid core group and someone jumps the ship. I can give a pass to some grad transfers, if they have finished their undergrad and UND doesn't offer what they need at the next level.

If UND was hosting a football playoff game this Saturday wouldn't there be hand-wringing about low attendance and justification that "everyone is focused on the hockey game and has to choose"?

Let's go Siouxfan97!

What about the other 45 plays in those games?

Several starting QBs in MVFC came in through the portal, amazing how many teams went all in with transfers. UND has gotten some, but not the number that other schools have. Jury still out on whether the portal is the way to build for the future - maybe it is the new normal.

Actually there were several times the crowd noise was pretty loud, no off side created but still a good atmosphere. There were some recruits there.

You really believe one play can change a season?

Sure do. Not a band wagon fan, be there for the team. Hawks 27-YSU 13

This - it's not healthy to point out the inconsistencies in support between hockey and football (or other major sports) but it shows up regularly. Football has the same opening video two years in a row, hockey has something new weekly, hockey has its own inhouse Behind these doors, football depends on Midco, Hockey has a full-time chef.....the list is long.

Actually 92 but don't let that stop a good rant.

Someone could get in at 6-5 but it will not be UND.

Can you get back to ranchin?

Because there has never been a team that has improved, matured or gotten better the following year?

Gotta think it has something to with the feed from MState. Cannot believe ESPN allows student productions.

Watching from a packed bar of UND fans in Nashville so no audio. Based on the video being one camera and no graphics have to assume it is a student production. How are the announcers?

They do now, game is on there at 2:00. Second floor.

They call them in unenclosed party vehicles.

The Downtown Sporting Club on Broadway in Nashville said they will put the football game on a screen for us Saturday. Nothing formal, just look for UND green. Vandy has home football, Predators are home, Garth is at the GOO so it will be crowded.

That is on UND, only had a year to plan it.

Saw the 3 Penn State fans.

Yup, guy visiting from Florida stopped us. Was a panther fan but did not know much about college hockey.

Nice today but forecast appears to be for cool and rainy.

Checking in from N town.

Really hope UND works out some viewing venues for the football game.
