Area code 218 with a big day in MN HS hockey

very true

I'm confused. Is that a shot at me or the refs who blew those calls?

It was a blast. In the old days we would have been there all week but we only made it today. Great crowd. Not sure of the attendance but it was pretty big and loud. Sat with old classmates so that was fun too.

Just got back from the game - and a couple of beers afterwards. Not sure how you miss the kneeing on Cathedral and then call tripping on on EGF on a hip check that hit the other kid in the hip also. If no call there we were about to score an ENG and end it. When ref signaled tying goal was in he kind of winced. He knew they screwed up by giving Cathedral the power play.

A lot of people down here in TC are pretty ignorant about the rest of the state. I’ve heard people ask why MN lets ND schools in the tourney when EGF has gotten in.

As a proud EGF alum I say Go Green Wave

6-5 EGF. 16:10 left in 3rd

Now Hibbing penalty. 4 on 3 for EGF and then 5 on 3 for a bit

EGF ties it 11 seconds into 3rd.

I don't remember the timing, exactly. I'm sure you are right. He was gone before Bubba was hired so no blame there.

I know for sure that Golladay left and didn't play for Bubba. Not sure how many stuck around vs. left. Maybe couldn't have kept him but I blame the admin for not having a chance because the search took so long.

These facilities are amazing and long way from what we had in the not too distant past. They will be a great recruiting tool and Bubba certainly deserves some credit for helping get this done over the last 5-10 years.

Jake Landry off to Iowa State per Kolpack

Not being snarky cuz I'm not close enough to the program to know. What are the challenges right now at UND that keep us from getting chippahs? We seem to be getting passed by quite often.

I don't know of the timing of offers over the last few years. I'm guessing we would have had to be in early on many of these that went to FBS as they offer earlier also. I randomly searched three of them and their commitment dates were early June (2 of them) and December of the year prior. I really hope things are different. It is easy to make offers but harder to close them. I did meet up with a member of the UND athletics fundraising team in the last week. They explained some of the things that are different with the football program now and they are very exciting. I believe that we can make a big step forward and really hope we do.

I really don't buy into the thinking that we didn't try to recruit high end players in the past and only offered those with DII offers. Here is a partial list I found of 2024 offers that committed elsewhere. We did compete with FBS and other FCS teams. We just didn't land enough of them.

Probably right but I hope not

I wouldn't feel left out if there was a survey that went out to season ticket holders of men's or women's basketball, hockey or Champions Club Legend level ($50k+/year) or any other group that I'm not a part of. I don't understand why a survey of tailgating season ticket holders should be an issue for anyone.

Yes. Us season tailgaters do pay for all of our spots. I guess if you really wanted to kill tailgating you could charge $100/spot/game. My bill would have gone from $300 to $2100 last year and I would have noped out. The main difference between the cost of tailgate spots and game day parking is that you pay for them ahead of time so you are paying even if you don't show up. We used all of ours for every game the last few years but in the past it was hard to justify driving 650 miles round trip for a meaningless game and standing outside in the wind and 10 degrees for 4 hours late in the year. When Mike Mannausau was coaching he would come back out after the team went thru to greet and thank those of us who braved the weather to tailgate and support the team. He said he felt he should because of the dedication to the team we were showing.

Thanks for putting together this list. Will be great to track and see who we get to commit. Caleb Francois -Minnetonka has also been offered and has verbaled to Iowa St.

I was wondering the same. We live in TC so didn’t go. I did get a questionnaire that I filled out. Some questions on how many games we used our spots and did I think those that use them all the time should get preference of some sort.

Francois announced commitment to Iowa State.

Anything new on Jamernik?

Francois has picked up an offer from Iowa State.
