Big A HG

Awesome, can't wait, I hope they're as good as we need them to be. But, that's counting more chickens before they hatch. Until they're on campus, I won't hold my breath. Not because of Berry, but the world of NIL deals makes things difficult to rely on.

We have to make the opening first. I'll include you as a reference.

It's one loss right now, but the story has been played out most other seasons. It's a compiling list of odd losses by Berry teams late in the season over a long stretch of seasons. If you look at the big picture, the program is underperforming for our status in the hockey world. Blue chip recruits don't want to play here anymore. Big media heads seldom talk about us anymore and we have the best facilities in the country, arguably the greatest college hockey history in the country, the best fans, etc... Yet everyone is okay with the lower standard Berry has set compared to his predecessors.

Hakstol seldom choked in the playoffs. He made more Frozen Fours than he didn't. It takes some luck and fortune to win it all. Everyone knows Hakstol wasn't the reason we didn't win a title, it's just a scapegoat for protecting Berry because Berry got his. But, once Berry had to do his own recruiting, we can't even sniff a Frozen Four.

Hakstol would break the team down to build them back up by the second half. Berry starts the year with the thing already built and it wins a lot of regular season games, but by the end of the year, they've made little to no changes while other teams adapt and look towards playoff style hockey. That's why UND has won 5 NCHC regular season titles under Berry, but only one NCHC tournament title. And outside of our loaded roster in '15-'16, has failed to produce any sort of meaningful NCAA playoff run.

I'd tell Brad he's embarrassing right to his face, but he always no-shows for the meet-ups. Kind of like how the team no-shows for all the NCAA tournaments after all these amazing NCHC regular season titles in the greatest hockey league ever to exist....which is why UND has done so well in NCAA play lately.

Meaningless. Been all sorts of good tourney rankings and only one NCAA tourney win in the past seven seasons against lowly AIC. How about the multiple other missed tourneys other seasons? I'm not counting any chickens this year before they hatch as our trend is not to be the #2 team in the country, rather much lower. This is largely the same team as last year plus a few players from other mediocre to poor hockey programs. I still root for my Sioux, but I'm not blinded by fanhood.

I'm always here, but little worth posting because this program has underperformed for the majority of the past 8 years. You go on and enjoy your complacency.

One bad game? You mean years of bad games. I posted it because that call he made truly was embarrassing.

No, he's a nice guy which is more important than results.

We just never stopped. They did.

If Blake is suspended, which I'm not implying he will be, it just means the league has an agenda that doesn't favor our favorite team in kelly green. Blake gave him a good pop and deserved two, but Rizzo, the little b**** that he is, couldn't handle our smallest guy giving him a little extra in the corner. Two minutes is fair, but that's all it is.

Holy fuckin' !@#$ boys...let's go

But what jerseys is St Cloud wearing tonight?

Why do we care so much about lowly St Cloud? It comes across as very insecure that there is so much conversation about them. It'd be like an Alabama Crimson Tide forum ranting and raving about all the happenings of SEC rival Vanderbilt.

I have a black authentic, size 52, done up as a Zajac by EPS. But, I'm just not sure I want to part with it. Money talks, though.

This may be a bit of bias, but having lived in GF/Bis/Fargo, Fargo really is the epicenter of the state IMO. With that said, so much money is being poured into growth that there isn't much left over for NDSU football outside of what the fleas (aka the bandwagon fans) spend. The thing is, the fleas have been jumping off for a couple of years now and no one gives a flying F about NDSU football except a select few. NDSU was a fun social thing in town for some because it was new and exciting, but the novelty has worn off and no one cares...even the last couple of years when they won their last JV FBS titles. You used to see every single-brain-celled individual wearing NDSU shi...l mean stuff...at one point, and no one wears anything anymore. NDSU is like the Yeti Cooler of no name football....overpriced and a waste of time and money when you find out you're getting scammed. That's why FBS hasn't happened and won't happen.

Using that Buckeye concept.

Both were epic, but I lean toward the interception myself. The return TD was a great pop, but we knew it'd still be a dogfight after that and NDSU wasn't really going away in the first half despite how well we played and controlled most of the game. NDSU had the ball and was ready to cut into the lead again with a momentum swing of their own and then bam....HUGE interception. It really felt like it was our game to lose at that point.

Some video I took while leaving Fargo to head up to the hockey game yesterday.

I cannot express into words how happy today makes me. Enjoy it fam.

Like Miracle Whip, but generic. It's not "salad dressing" as in the lettuce dish definition of the word. Like this:

Don't question Brad Berry on these forums. We've only won one NCAA game in seven years, but One More Year™!
