Interesting. That/This is unacceptable!

Pretty bogus the game isn't in HD tonight. I need to blame someone for this!

JohnnyBoy, I say this in the most respect I can give you. You seem like the type of guy at the bar that stirs the pot for no reason and deseves to get their ass kicked or whatever else may come your way. Are you done posting on this site? Go research some Bison/Denver D1 basketball while you're at it. Then post on this site when someone actually gives a !@#$ about that non-sense matchup. You won't find too many people who will care on this site. Move on. Goodbye!

When is NDSU going to move up? That's the question, right? They can beat Florida St and Bama. Bring it on!

NDSU and UND have not won a D1 football championship. Pretty sure the winner was Florida St this year and Alabama a few years in a row before that. That's the only one that matters. That JV D1 championship only matters to Fargo fans, sorry!

It will be an interesting weekend. I expect UND to split, with decent odds to sweep. Sometimes I fell the squad plays better for a 2 game series stretch on the road than at home. See the Duluth series. I just wanted UND to make the NCAA tournament a few months ago. Still do. However, with a shot to win the inaguarl NCHC regular season tournament and hardware on the line, the boys might as well wrap that up. The games will be close. The outcome of next weekend relys on 2 complete games played by UND.

KVLY also has one of the most embarrassing weather updates too. I remember watching PGA golf and we would get 45 minute weather update. Remember that !@#$ storm? KVLY is a laughing joke!

Be prepared for more compliats from viewers everywhere.

Yep. Keep telling yourself that no one cares about the NHL and hockey. Look at the national ratings of that game last night, let alone the 62,000 NHL fans at the outdoor game. Yep, no one cares about hockey. By the way, UND basketball is superior than NDSU basketball and I would still be storming in anger too, if it was a UND basketball game that took precedence over the Hawks/Pens game in the surrounding, local area. NDSU vs Denver for a D1 basketball game is laughable. It was a joke that this was aired! Oh, wait, I forgot, Denver has such a large national presence for their basketball team. Denver has a basketball team, seriously? Nobody cares!

You just don't just get it. And no, I am not pretedning this is an NFL playoff game being left off TV.

I don't think it's dumb. This isn't Bison football, it was a Bison basketball game. No one outside of Fargo cares. Take your Yellow and Green glasses off and exit the Fargo area. People saying, everyone one should calm down, c'mon! You had two great NHL teams with the Blackhaws and Penquins (Toews vs Crosby, first game against each other) with a national televised game, at Soilder Field with 62,000 fans in attendace, under the lights. But, hey, go air that super-hyped, everyone in the region cares game, the Bison vs Denver basketball game. Oh, but it's the last game at the venue, blah, blah, blah. Absoultly horrible decison by KVLY. I seriously hope someone gets fired! Add fuel to the fire, once the game ended, they had that extra Senior night and coaching crap go on forever. Wow, was that embarrassing. I am a UND alum, and if this was UND basketball, I would be shaking my head.

Yeah, because a useless D1 basketball team against two horrible teams is superior than Toews vs Crosby in an outdoor national NHL Game. KVLY is a joke. Whoever made that decision should be fired. I don't even want to hear an argument. Person should be fired! And I don't know what reality distoration field you live in, no one give a !@#$ about Bison/Denver men's basketball!

What do Miami, BU, BC, Duluth, Denver, Wisconsin Yale, and Michigan have in common that we don't? They played in the national title game in recent times. I don't care about SJHovey posts and Goon backing it up - I realize we played Denver in '05 and that was the last time Denver won, but they won back-to-back, I will give that program some credit and leeway there. I don't care. I would rather have my team, UND that I cheer for, play in a national title game sooner than later. Conference season and post season championships are nice and Hak's overall record with the team the last 9 year is great too, but I want the team to compete and play in the national title game. At the end of the day, no one remembers their overall season record or what conference championship the team won. Fans will remember great times and experiences at the Final Five in recent years when the team won etc...., and who knows, they might win the NCHC regular season conference title this year. I don't care. Get to the title game for once and compete and if they win, great Bottom line, you compete for a National Title. Hak and his players the last 9 years would take a national title any day over Hak's overall winning record, regular and post conference tournament victories and championships/continued success. Please quit over analyzing things. Keep it simple. Win and/or compete in the national title game. Obviously we want UND to win that game. It's simple. You play for a National Title. That's what truly matters. Period.

I'll give it three years. This year just make the tournament and see what happens. If the team doesn't fans will be disappointed, but it could happen. Hope it doesn't. Making the tourney and losing right away stinks, but having your team not make the tournament is worse. I like the fact of our d-core in the coming years. They should be solid. Also, some decent forwards are on their way and the team has another goalie coming in next year if Gothberg can't solidly the number one spot by next year, he's had his chances. With the loss of Tambelini who had the brightest ceiling for our freshman forwards, I'd say our forward recruiting class, again was a rather weak one. Plenty of great college hockey players out there. Hak is missing the boat on some. One more thing... Asumus, Stetcher, and Murphy weren't initially committed to UND. Question is, how well is the coaching staff doing in their job as far as recruiting goes? Question has to be asked.

Barnes and Nobles will not be on that list. I know it's just a diagram to show what could be. This town needs a Trader Joes and more than anything needs to expand groceries and fast causal restaurants on 42nd. Development on the south of the town is needed, but that also applies to 42nd. You have tons of apartments and hotels going up. Also, development on 32nd needs to stop. It is the worst infrastructure while shopping or getting a bite to eat. I try to avoid that area on the weekends, but when one has to make a stop at Target, it is just a painful experience.

Good thinh Rocco only turns 21 once. Horrible game by him. UND is going to regret losing this game when they were up. 3-1 into the second after a horrible first. This loss will haunt them.

He'll stay. Why would he leave? He'll be playing with his brother and it's not like he'll be cracking the Blues roster right away. His main focus next year will be to add strength and completely dominate the college hockey game.

Brock leaving UND hurt. Still bitter over that. That was tough to swallow. I wonder if he would have netted 40 goals had he decided to play his junior year. When he had 28 as a Sophomore he had so many chances and breakaways it was nuts. He probably should have had 35 goals as a Sophomore if he finished more on a few. :-) Setiously !

I like that. North Dakota Tribe and slightly modify the Sioux logo. I could go with that. One could interrupt the word "tribe" to not be associated with an "Indian Tribe." :-)

Late to the party, what's the tv schedule looking like for this weekend battle?

Anyone watch the Minnesota and Ohio State outdoor game and/or recorded it? I would love to see a gif file created of Kyle Rau's embellishment penalty.

You have to take into account the team and talent level too, though. Still I think Tambo would have had a good second half. Guess we'll never know.

Someone should have told him see Brock Nelson and look at his first year at UND than look at his 2nd year at UND. Seemed to work out pretty well for Brock Nelson... Pretty much the same players entering UND, with Brock having a higher ceiling with potential and obviously lived up to it, once he put on weight and got stronger and learned the college game and how to compete against stronger and older players.

Martain St. Louis might be picked. Played college hockey.

I say bring in the older more experience players next year. UND should have a solid squad next year. Rocco would be foolish to leave for the AHL or Europe. Might as well enjoy his college years at UND and continue to develop. It sounds like Olson is the type of player UND could really benefit from next year. A gritty and skilled forward. Should be interesting next year. Still waiting to see what develops this year, come March...
