Notre Dame will fit in well in the second tier B1G hockey conference.

Got a note from Bubba a few days ago that we have sold 475 new season tickets since last year. That's a nice number for this time of year. Any extra butts in the seats means extra $$.

Cheering for DU big time after Montgomery supported us last year after we beat them.

Vonesh has to be in my top 4 or 5. He was a monster.

I can never remember. Does one ticket get you into both games on Friday?

How would this year's GF Central team stack up against EP, Edina and the rest of the metro powers?

That's a big loss

It used to have a teflon roof and looked like a mini-metrodome. They replaced that roof with steel 15 years ago or so.

The short answer is - yes.

My wife and I are planning on the SUU game in Cedar City as well. Didn't realize we were in Vermillion but will try to get that one in also. I haven't been to the Dakota dome since we played there in the early 80's. It was a a strange field to play on and I would like to see it again as a spectator.

There is zero chance that the Nickel Trophy will be part of the renewed rivalry. We aren't going to risk further scrutiny and possible sanctions from the NCAA by using a trophy that has an Indian head on it that represents UND. Hell - we were worried because we overlooked a Sioux logo on a lineup card we posted in the players box during an NCAA hockey game a few years ago.

I was told similar a couple of days ago by the UND ticket office. The only difference was they told me April rather than May.

He is a second generation UND fb player. who is is dad?

No argument here. I just think the backlash would be more than the administration would be willing to take on for the reasons I stated above.

I just don't see WIH getting cut. GF is a hockey town, UND is a hockey school and because of that it would be hard to sell with Title IX. Regardless if whether or not we need it for Title IX compliance, the perception of not valuing Women's hockey in GF would be hard to overcome.

as far as I know if your cable subscription has ESPN you can stream ESPN3

I agree on the OOC games but I live in the Twin Cities and if my kid was being recruited I would rather know that I could easily drive to about half of the away games every year. To me that would be an important factor and I am sure it is for many players and their parents. I am guessing the new conference will be as much a positive for some as a negative for others considering our main recruiting areas.

Watched the last 6 minutes of the women's game tonight. Kicked away a 12 point lead while I watched but hung on to win. Couldn't get the ball up court against the press. Really ugly basketball but a win is a win.

high screen. Drove to right and jump shot just outside the elbow

From Kolpack's article: Adding UND marks a change of heart in expansion for the Missouri Valley since its Presidents Council met last summer, where Viverito said the league was content with its makeup. It appears the Summit League-member schools of the Valley—NDSU, South Dakota State, South Dakota and Western Illinois—played a role in the addition of the Fighting Hawks. "We have four members ... who were anxious to get North Dakota in the Summit as a 10th member," she said. "For good reason they asked us to reconsider because it's good for the all-sports side of the equation as opposed to just football."

Agree. That is a pretty dumb take on it. I guess we push things over the tipping point.

What station and who are hosts?

One positive - If recent history holds - a team in the MVFC only needs to get to 6 wins to make the playoffs.

This decision was made for $$ reasons. GF Herald estimated $500k per year. I was told by a person on the keep/cut sports committee that it is $800k/year. There are budget cuts coming. This is a fairly benign way to help with that. There are people on both sides of the debate so I see it as pretty even. If we could have afforded the Big Sky I'm sure we would have stayed. If all of us fans and donors had provided another $1M or so to UND per year I'm sure we would have stayed also.
