Just got our airplane and game tickets. Looking forward to Philly. Anybody have a lead on hotels where UND fans might be staying?

Does anybody know what sections UND has tickets in for the first round game?

we are getting iowa/marist in SW Twin Cities.

During the championship game he was wearing a Bemidji State jersey. I recognized him on the jumbotron when he was dancing again. He started with a grey hoodie over his head but then dramatically pulled it off to show that he was the same fool that had danced the night before.

I also heard that he was still on campus for second semester so not sure of the truth.

thanks. I am now watching on FCS

My brother in law was offered a job in Warroad to get his son there because he was a good bantam player. He turned them down.

I am a public school fan and I hate the recruiting that goes on. I used to feel bad when we lost players to other schools but as my kids went through the programs it was much more damaging to the local kids when others moved in and pushed local kids out. The public school administrations love the transfers because of the state $$ that come with them. I think it is ove $10k per student. Our district has over 100 per grade which adds up about $10-12 milliion per year. Many kids transfer for things other than sports.

As does Warroad in hockey.

Hopkins is the worst but my son's class at Minnetonka had 12 tranfers for basketball his age from 9-11 grade. 5 as freshman, 4 as sophs and 3 as juniors. Many of them leave for various reasons but flush out the local kids on the way. His senior year Minnetonka started 3 Minneapolis , 1 Eden Prairie and 1 Benilde transfer. Kids don't go to the basketball games because they really don't know many of the players.

Breck got beat tonight by Orono.

Warroad scored with 1:34 left to tie. eaded to 2nd OT.

That would never happen because Kessel is not captain material. Per one of his teammates at MN, they were happy to see him go becuase he was such a jerk regardless of his talent level.

This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^. The fact that the team lost doesn't change who he is or anything about him. He works his tail off on every shift and every trip up and down the ice.

Not sure I can follow that logic. If Parise was captain of the Canadian team they probably would have still won and he would be a hero. Is Parise a different guy from who he was in 2010 when he was an alternate captain and we won the silver?

It's foolish to think that Parise as a captain has the same influence with this team vs. a team that is together long term. It would be different if they played together all year and over a longer time period. If we score on one or two of the penalty shots and breakaway the game probably turns out completely differently and Zach is a hero as a leader. Athletics are like that and Kane had a much bigger impact on the penalty shots than Parise had since he was the one that took them.

I talked to a current player last week that I have gotten to know a little bit. He said things are quite different with Bubba and the new coaches. He said there weren't very many rules in the past and Bubba has set a lot of expectations for them. He likes it and he likes the new coaches.

EGF has handled them all this year. I saw them pound Roseau 6-2 and it shouldn't have been that close.

I thought Sparks looked good when he did get a chance at the end of the year. I don't remember what his yards per carry were but they were pretty good in limited carries. EDIT - he had 15 carries for 113 yards - 7.5 yards per carry. Not many carries though but he was able to make something out of nothing a number of times when he did get a chance.

Is there any school that doesn't say that? Why even bother making a statement like that?

Kessel is sitting out the year for the Olympics.

Me too Me too

They did have more scholly money than everybody else during the 80's. They were good at giving kids 2/3 rides and letting them eat on campus for free, and a 2/3 becomes a full ride. They effectively had 1/3 more scholarships than anybody else at that time.

I hope you realize that every team has a strength coach and all of them think their guy is the best. It's hard to imagine that there are many secrets that aren't well known in the industry.

I don't know how justified this arrest was but I do know from a friend at the courthouse that the GF cops and court system get frustrated with the UND police for some of the arrests they make.
