Recruiting looks good. I've been critical in the past but things are looking up.

Moving to FBS requires an additional 22 scholarships going from 63 to 85

I don't get the problem we have with recruiting. It seems like nothing ever changes and now NDSU is pulling them in left and right. Big, sought after players too. I think my skin would crawl if I had to sit in the same room with Entz listening to him recruit any kid of mine and yet they they get the job done. The only good thing about NDSU getting all these top notch recruits is that in 2 or 3 years they'll all be in the portal. The fact still remains UND isn't doing it right on recruiting and I've complained about this for years. No, I don't have the answer.

Hockey has proven that throwing money at a program doesn't necessarily get you more championships.

I didn't say develop, I said keep them in the program. Seems you boys lost a lot of good players to the portal this year.

Getting recruits is one thing, using them successfully and keeping them for the next season is something else and both those last two items seem to be a lost art at NDSU. As long as they have clueless coaches and an AD they are still very beatable.

Lots of schools don't have individual names on the uniforms for the very reason I said. Whether you agree or not is a different matter, but that's why.

Disagree. The only name that needs to appear is the name on the front of the uni. We're a team, and names on back signify individuals.

They sure have an easy schedule avoiding both us and NDSU, but I predict they have 4 losses. YSU really hasn't been relevant in a while

He's certainly got the perfect name for football.

Good to know. I had been looking for information earlier.

I'm glad to see NDSU failing. Sure looked bad in Frisco, so I'm fine with Entz too, but I wonder if their fans feel the same way.

Even if Bubba is somehow eased out (or pushed out) I can foresee his replacement coming from within or strong past connection. That's the UND way and it's not working. Ask NDSU if it always works to stay within your ranks. They went back to the well one too many times and now Entz and Roehl are steadily running the program into the ground. If you're going to make changes, then make changes. I've used this word before: Inbreeding

But is that any different that boosters getting a charitable tax deduction for donating to college athletics? I certainly don't see the difference. I'd rather UND find a way to get into the gaming business somehow. Banning gaming would lead to a rather slippery slope

If we did, KEM would want half the proceeds. Don't kid yourself.

Anyone hear anything on Waletzko and his rehab?

I have a hunch that teammakers gets less money this year. With the team laying an egg in Frisco some fans are off the bandwagon. I also would think their fans would be tired of not moving up and would walk away. The only games that draw well at the Fargodome are UND and SDSU.

This is how I see it. 8-3 or 7-4. Drake W NAU W Boise L SDSU L WIU W NDSU 50/50 UNI L Indiana St W Murray W USD W ISU W

Murry State should be considered a guaranteed win. If it isn't, then this program isn't progressing. I expect Murry to be a perennial bottom feeder.

The way the trend has been in this tourney Michigan will win 8-0

^^^^^^

Anyone else feel totally lost tonight? Saturday night and no UND hockey. I think I'm first realizing the season is over for the year. It sure bothers me a lot more tonight than it did last night. I think it's going to be a long off season until football. Sucks.

It figures
