    The 80's showed NDSU's dominance and UND knocking on the basement door with Morningside, the 90's showed how UND rose and how NDSU fell. You didn't fall as hard as UND did in 81-92, but you fell out of national title appearances, undefeated seasons and starting in 93 you fell out of home playoff games. UND capped off their rise in 01 and 03 with NC appearances and a title. Your rise to fame didn't come until you bolted, and now UND is rising again, so now both ND teams are hosting playoff games, who is going to fall back to earth and who is going to stay up in the clouds? We shall see.

    Not really fair to say that UND was a bottom dweller 81-84.  We didn't fall off the map until 85.  

    Records in the early 80's weren't terrible and a couple of 3 loss seasons:

    • 1980 - 6-4
    • 1981 - 6-4
    • 1982 - 7-3
    • 1983 - 6-5
    • 1984 - 8-3

    Does anyone have any insight what is going on with the budget shortfall that caused all this pandemonium with sports being cut / new conferences? I'm sure they are still looking into new conferences, but as Tom Miller wrote, the savings won't be as much as most thought. Has Kennedy taken care of the budget problem? If so, how? I'm just really confused as this was such a hot topic and now there's no talk whatsoever on it.  

    I was told by a person who was on the committee that Faison told him that UND would save $800k/year.  He also said Faison would deny that.  I don't know why and I don't  understand why that number is so different from Tom Miller's article.

    How can (7 players not playing cuz of this) be kept quiet through the game?

    I am confused by the article I read.  It says 7 are out for the final and mentions 2 of their better players being out for the semis.  I am not sure if all 7 were out for the semis or just the 2.

    Has anyone seen that clarified?

    Do you put Craig Bohl in the 'better human being' category, too?  Just curious, want to gauge your rating capabilities-

    What kind of guy is Craig Bohl?  I really don't know much about him.

    Eastern Washington's loss shows me even more we are going down the right path by following the Bison example of a ball control offense and dominating defense.  Eastern Washington had a comfortable lead and didn't even attempt running, going downfield just about every down.  If this was a one time thing for them it would be different, but they traditionally need to outscmuore teams, and that doesn't work so well come playoff time.  More depth and beef and UND should be well set to challenge consistently.

    They had a lot of success on their last drive when they finally ran the ball.  I didn't see much of the game but I was surprised they didn't run more in the second half.

    NDSU was missing that "it" that they've had the last 5 years. I still thought they were about to pull it out before that FG though.

    Was Wentz part of the "it" factor the last couple of years.  I didn't realize how good he was until the draft talk started last year.

  7. My brother was in Fargo at a Fargo North basketball game.  Said the place went silent after the fb game was final.

    My son is at the Betty for the UND basketball game and there was a roar when the game ended even though there was no announcement.

    Is it weird to think that even with this little time and that far to go that NDSU still has a shot to pull this out?

    not at all.  I figured they would still pull it out until just now

    I Googled und hockey fan...first image is not a flattering portrayal of your university

     

    Pictures are worth a thousand words, right?

    Two words...........Lakes Bison.   I don't know of any UND fan (or any fan anywhere) whose behavior reaches anywhere near his level.  Visit a fan site of any team that UND plays and you will find him spewing hatred and baseless accusations.

    That is a sad bunch over there.  Reading that thread......classy.  

    I read a few posts regarding JJ on Bisonville and then wished I hadn't.   It goes on for 47 pages and now most say they didn't want him because he committed to UND.

    Some of the posts are kind of disturbing,  It is so bad that one poster who knows the family told the others to go F*$% themselves.

    I live in Omaha and would recommend staying at any of the hotels in Aksarben Village from a pure convenience standpoint. Hotels, bars, restaurants, the UND pregame party, and of course the arena are all within walking distance. My folks always come for the series and stay in Aksbaren now that the Mavs play at the Baxter instead of downtown at the Century Link and really like it because you don't have to drive at all once you get to town. There are more places to eat/drink downtown, but not as much of a hockey crowd/energy since UNO changed venues. Either way, Omaha is an easy place to get around and we have both Uber and Lyft as well. Happy to be the Omaha concierge for anyone who has general questions. I hope to see lots of green again this year! Safe travels.

    thanks for the input.  much appreciated.
