Always saw him as the poor man's version if Johnny Gaudreau. I thought Rocco would have spent more time in the NHL by now.

We'll agree to disagree here. Your FB analogy is unrealistic and exaggerated to make a point and I get it. Men's hockey, like it or not, is still the engine that drives the athletic department bus at UND. Due to that fact alone I hope it is not "maxed out"........which it is not. At this stage both FB and BB need hockey's success more so than the other way around. Hopefully that changes in the upcoming years. I'm banking on this year's success of both FB and BB to generate more exposure and interest in those programs. With the shoe dropping on WH there better be more dollars to infuse into both sports now. Back to "maxed out".......hypothetically if the seating at the Ralph were expanded those seats would sell no doubt about it. Attendance is somewhat maxed out due to building constraints not fan support. Ticket prices......BF could easily add a couple bucks per ticket to men's hockey to increase revenue and very few fans would blink. Exposure.........hockey's continued success nationally and with former players in the NHL right now is bigger exposure than the FB team's one playoff game to date and I say still bigger than the exposure of the one game by the MBB team in the Dance even though it was viewed by 1M+. With that being said UND's biggest opportunity IMO for all this "stuff" we are talking about is in MBB and it's not close. So if some want to continue to take shots at the MH program and down play it's vital role in the AD because of one season successes by FB and MBB again that's very ignorant and myopic. Is UND a "hockey school"...no but there is really no argument that as of today its most vital athletic program is MH.

Well after last night maybe Kate was unto something with her comparison..........

You had to go there!

Agree with all your points especially the last point but another backed handed shot about the hockey program being "maxed out" is very myopic. It still has plenty to offer as far as increased revenue dollars and exposure to the university as do both FB and BB.

Just heard Dom Izzo on KFGO state his go to "FB only" source, UND-FB-FAN, leaked that NDSU's AD is going to reallocate dollars and resouces from the FB program to other athletic programs because that "program is beyond maxed out" having won 5 of the last 6 FCS FB championships. News clip at 6 pm on WDAY..............

Under reported, even by some of the GF media, was the suck hole financially that program was year after year after year............................... BTW when did "dominant" come to mean "didn't completely suck"?

Yes there is

#buttbybutt More supporters the better.

And Legends up to $50K+ ...................................................that's gfhockey coin!

This...

...add in Gornall. #shatteredglass

Brilliant!

I completely understand the Lammy twins position on this issue but please............................. #giveitarest

Was your source a college worker at the Red Pepper too? #whitesaucematters

Saturday??? Who is that? Keller looked better than he did on Friday.

Oh boy. That will be entertaining with those two.................................................................and fictitious!

You seriously did type the bolded part.......yup you did. Do you own a mirror? If so take a look! You rip on everyone on this site that enjoys hockey much more than FB and/or BB but still goes to games and supports those other two sports. Not to mention ripping those who have not puckered up to the new nickname and/or logo as you feel they should even though they are great supporters of the university and it's teams. Am I missing anything? #hypocrite BTW you have to running out of -1 on me too.

Tell us how you REALLY feel about hockey at UND. Sheeeeeeeeeesh............................................................. #FBonly

..............................................................I thought someone said there would be no math.

Just a one year deal? Hmmmmmmmm....................

With the hashtag "undwomenshockeymatters"?

I did last night.........asked it "what are my chances with my wife tonight"? "Never" came up.

My point is Nick spends 90% of his first pro year in the A if he leaves after his Fr. year. Jost, I'm sure, was promised the Golden Goose plus COL is so bad.
