    "Dome"?  Looks more like an arena to me but I'm certainly no A & E expert.

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

    Did anybody get a weird feeling of Dejavu when Matt Ryan took that sack along with the hold in the fourth quarter  to put them out of field goal range. I felt like I just watched a reverse in the Alerus. 

    The short answer is - yes.

    Tough time of year for me but I hope to be in Vermillion too this year.  Also hoping to go to the SUU game in Cedar City too this year.

    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.

    Hasn't UND already said that the Nickel Trophy won't be part of the renewed rivalry?  

    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.

    Invoices sent in May with your cc donation level and season tickets cost listed. You can make changes and pay the invoice.  If you want to change seat location,  you can do that now for any sport except men's hockey.  If you want to move your hockey seats, requests to move are emailed in after the invoice is paid. You may not get the move for hockey unless seats there available. 

    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. 

  6. 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.

    Faison had better be working on some attractive road game destinations for 2020 and beyond, because Macomb is Greeley minus the mountain scenery and San Luis Obispo and Davis, CA, have bowel movements that look like Cedar Falls. 

    Yeah, that's a bit harsh, but have you seen Cedar Falls? I'm sorry, but just as a travel destination there is no comparison. Don't try. 

    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.

  8. 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.

    Could the 4 be the Dakota 3 and UNI?

    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."

    When it's Omaha, South Dakota State, North Dakota State, and South Dakota together it's okay.

    But if UND joins then it's the old NCC and it's not cool anymore. Got it.

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

  11. 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.

    Not sure how to absorb this yet, intial feeling is good.

    I get to go to road games again to see the Bison and 2 SD's, I like the SD's presidents in that they work at their alma matar.

    Seemed like we were figuring out our recruiting, and wonder if that will change.

    Bison lucked out on their 2019 home OOC FB game, we'll get even with them for that.

    Baseball coming back???????

    Good to be seeing you 3 again!

     

    Living in the Twin Cities, this brings NDSU, SDSU, USD and Northern Iowa all within easy travel distance for me.  Will probably be at all of those road fb games in the future.

    Weber wasn't that good and played a vastly superior team. Poly ran into weather that killed their style of play. They wouldn't have made a deep run because of their defense though.  EWU was doing their typical EWU thing and it took a miracle catch to beat them against a very good team. Can't blame the weather here. UND was beating the piss out of Richmond and then suffered a fate as embarrassing as erotic  asphyxiation. I think SUU would have been a better rep of the Big Sky in the playoffs but still wouldn't have beaten Chatty. It didn't change how I feel about UND's season. We got on a roll. We were missing a couple key pieces. Our fast WR. Our other starting CB. Our stud fr OL who went back to the rez. Our schedule was supposed to be soft as Charmin based on pre season rankings but turned out to be one of the hardest in the conference. Who knows what the schedule strength will be next year? We can guess, but there's no way to predict it.  You could probably say that we overachieved. Even still, I expect the team to take another step or two forward next season. 

    Regarding the OL - I can't help but wonder how we would have been with Grady all year and Stockwell healthy for the playoffs. Anchor those tackle spots and the rest of the OL would have filled in really nicely.  Our run game for the playoffs could have been special.
