Big A HG

NIL does add some degree of complexity for them, but, in my opinion, they'll succeed in bringing in plenty of good players because the talent pool is larger than ever. Maybe they won't net the very best of the available talent, but doesn't seem like they need to do that to be successful anyways.

Was there as well for that trip....but if they do that, I hope they at least get three whole periods out of their opponents unlike at Conte.

Agree with this. Denver sucking for so much of the title game made me feel better about the UND game. Like I told my buddy, Wisconsin played like a Mankato team with Big Ten level of talent. When their effort level is as high as it was, it's really tough to compete against. Credit to Wisconsin for getting that level of talent to play that type of game. But, of course, the ginger finds a way to prevail.

It's a miracle, Hicks lives. Thought he passed for a moment.

This was a huge area where Dane had the foresight to do what he did in having a dedicated GM and his thought process to recruiting compared to what Berry was doing. It really feels like we are in an advantageous spot in relation to our peers for the first time in awhile.

The SEC and to some extent the ACC have been paying athletes long before NIL. Now, NIL allows the rich B1G schools to play on even footing and the results are showing. The Big Ten alumni base has long been known as some of the wealthiest and dedicated fanbases in the country as a whole, even for the lower end programs. That doesn’t mean the SEC or ACC won’t have any sort of success going forward, but the Big Ten is back to being the bully on the block.

You're welcome, burd! Glad you're feeling better.

There had been so much obviously wrong with Berry for more than a few years and the ostriches kept their heads buried because he was a "nice guy"...except he isn't actually that nice.

Because some people care about the details.

As a former Sconnie, we have a better chance on the ice than out-drinking them.

Yep, we are the host.

Merrimack knocked off Quinnipiac 4-1 in their lone match earlier this year.

I don't give a hoot if I'm beating a dead horse or not like all the Berry lovers like to say....but those who argued to keep Brad were all wrong. Even if we go to Vegas and get smoked, switching up coaches was the right call.

QUIET...a hockey game is going on.
