  1. I can’t imagine very high fan attendance in Grand Forks for this.
  2. “The hockey game is sort of incidental “ I agree with this statement. In fact this is the way it is with me. UND hockey is an experience, of which part of the experience is the game. I enjoy the pregame and intermission as much as the game. In fact, for me not growing playing hockey, the game itself is many time monotonous. This will make me pretty popular here. The game itself can be exciting at times. I am there to enjoy the crowd, band, friends, people watching and yes watch the game. if we expect students to go to the game solely because they are big hockey fans I think we will fail. Same with all our sports. It has to be a fun total experience.
  3. We don’t seem to have the luxury of the cash needed to get to the next level. I am guessing that salary levels limit who wants to coach here. I agree with Siouxperman
  4. I am hoping, for Foles sake, that the Eagles go far. What a story.
  5. Decided to read some of this thread for the first time. wow!!
  6. First off. - thanks for your service John. That was a difficult time for many and our nation. It had a profound effect on my brother that served in Vietnam. Sscondly, I hope I will be able to be as fiesty when or if I turn 74. I certainly don’t agree with many of the things you post - especially about those of us that grew up in North Dakota. I am proud of my state. Born and raised here. Never left with no regrets. carry on sir. I wish you the best and hope you are surrounded by those that mean a lot to you.
  7. Just wanted to have the first post in 2019 Happy New Year!!
  8. Thanks scpa - My understanding is that this league has been around for a while and some kids are already playing for the league. Just having it Grand Forks might entice a few more to go for it, but as you say, there would be tryouts and everyone wouldn't make it. Again, pardon my ignorance, but is there some sort of draft system? Can kids get traded? Or, do kids get to choose which team they would like to tryout for and then they are with the team for the year - or can they be released?
  9. Would someone bring me up to speed on this? Does this mean that high school kids would stay in their existing school but just not play hockey for that school? They would play for this league instead. Would they be able to go back and forth the next year if they changed their mind? Would it affect playing for other sports at their high school? Thanks in advance.
  10. I find the changes exciting. They bring back some hope that we can be successful next year. I still find it somewhat bizarre, if this is what turns things around, that it took this long. This is a big "if". Hopefully!!!! By the way - Happy New Year everyone!!!
  11. Vikings = ugh vikes vs pack in the NIT bowl
  12. Now that was an impressive quarter of basketball for our UND team. we are up 22 at the half after scoring 31 points in the 2nd qtr
  13. Strand Strand Strand says a lot about where this program is at we are up by two after the 1 st qtr to the team picked to be last in the summit
  14. Sorry again for the misprint auto correct - sigh these computer things confuse old men like me! I absolutely love the sweaters. Always have and always will.
  15. Didn’t finish it .Though cool where is the “CKS” at the end?
  16. I don’t like the sweaters - sorry lots of empty seats? nice that we are dominating this game - hopefully it signals what will happen in conference games:
  17. Same story line from coach: "We fell too far behind and couldn't make enough plays to take back the lead" And coach will expect us to be satisfied that we know why we lost.
  18. Boy, really don't know what team will show up. The high end is we can play with some teams sometime. The low end is we suck and get blown out. This gets old.
  19. As far as who needs each other the most between UND or minn I don’t know or really care. I do care about college hockey attendance. I do care about expanding the number of teams. Higher attendance and more strong programs help all teams.
  20. I keep saying that embarrassing attendance isn’t good for college hockey. As much as I love anything that makes gopher hockey look bad. Low attendance at sporting events is trending.
  21. Thanks for the heads up sprig So does that mean I "get" to go to my wife's office party tonight?
  22. Don’t agree respectfully I am guessing that su fans could accept a loss to sdsu su fans could not accept a loss to UND. rivalry = who do you want to beat most and lose to least
  23. I would venture to guess that this forum wouldn’t be the only forum to go nuts if UND beat the bisons. Can you imagine the melt down in the bisons sites? Both ags and bisonsville! Priceless!!!!’
  24. The su seem invincible right now. They have first pick of any player of any team in fcs (and some fbs). They are hitting on all cylinders right now. su seems invincible and then something happens and they aren’t invincible anymore. There has been a huge change in su land. Most of the time we don’t know at the time what happened to move a team from invincible to slightly vulnerable. time will tell if the su is finally slightly vulnerable now. Time will tell if UND is ready to take advantage of su not being invincible anymore. let’s hope we are ready to finally turn this thing around!!!
  25. Is anyone surprised with who won and the close score?
