Davos heading into their fifth game in five days while the USCS on their second in four and fourth in six.
Will be interesting to see who they play in net. Assuming Gajan is over his minor injury, I'd expect him to go.

You all would be so upset to know who is representing UND in Europe
Be prepared for some green at the Olympics

Not surprising Canadian fans don't want to attend events in the US right now.

I don't know how ESPN is making money off of the World Juggling Federation and Axe Throwing. If it's such great programming, why don't they put it on the main ESPN channel? I know I won't be watching any of that garbage.
More cable systems might pick up ESPNU if they put decent programming on it. But TV executives aren't known for being all that intelligent to begin with.
Nobody said it's great programming, but go ahead and pretend that's the case if it hurts your feelings less.
It costs ESPN virtually nothing to show that content. It costs ESPN money to crew and broadcast college hockey but essentially gain no more viewers.
College hockey does not bring significant viewership numbers.

wonder if these highly ranked minny boys know who paul's replacement is and is good with it...?
Sure.... a state with open records laws decided to forego those to hire a backdoor replacement and are trusting high-school kids to keep it a secret.
That also assumes the AD isn't feeding information to the local media on a regular basis. There's a reason you see the Herald with articles ready to go after announcements.

It's not that hard to understand. Those shows make more money for ESPN than broadcasting college hockey.
The production quality and announcers needed toto move a game from ESPN+ to a linear channel does not equate to advertising dollars due to viewers.

I wouldn't mind to see Team USA rotate with Carle and Leaman. Its a lot to be away from your team with all that goes on in an NCAA season.
Funny the two coaches that seem to have the least amount of success are Gopher Bob and #gobc heart throb Scott Sandelin.
Got to but cuts on the way as we inch towards Christmas.
I'd like to see Ben Barr get in and then obviously Smaby and JPL getting some assistant roles.

If the Admins didn’t want it, then surely something would be done about it.
Clearly there is some agreement by at least one admin because take a look at the Other Sports section now.
You can actually find the relevant other topics.
But her new thread today in the UND Men's Basketball thread is a perfect example. "How did the UND Men's Basketball Team Do As of Late?" is a great topic to include in the 25-26 Season thread - where there could be additional actual conversation. And, if we're lucky, one of her blogs will spur great discussion about the 25-26 season, so doesn't it make sense that we'd want that included in the 25-26 season thread?
It's a mixture of wanting a cleaner experience when trying to find certain threads while actually giving her blog more visibility by including her posts in the main threads themselves. -

If you want @Und Princess banned, just come out and say so. But she hasn't done anything wrong whatsoever, so don't hold your breath waiting for it to happen.
That's quite the jump.
What part of the below gives you the idea that I'd like for her to be banned?8 hours ago, southpaw said:All of these posts could instead be included in their already existing respective sport threads.
@Und Princess has a blog post about the awards for Volleyball and Soccer teams? Go ahead and post those in the specific 2025 volleyball and 2025 soccer threads. It could build conversation about the post rather than a separate thread for each individual blog post.
It also helps when people have her blocked so that they can easily skip over the posts, since threads started by blocked users are not hidden. -
Hey admins - there have been quite a few new threads being created where it appears the sole purpose is to redirect people to someone's personal blog. I'm not against anyone promoting additional "articles" about UND athletics, but more often than not these new threads have zero replies. The "Other Sports" section is a perfect example. All of these posts could instead be included in their already existing respective sport threads. Instead, all of the legitimate threads about Other Sports are buried behind a couple dozen zero-reply threads about someone's blog.
But truthfully, even when they are posted in the respective threads - there is no attempt at furthering discussion or interaction. It's essentially a copy/paste of "Hey Hawks fans, go check out my blog at this link. Have a great day!"-

Do athletes have contracts with schools?
Of course. An athletic scholarship is literally a contract that includes what will be provided by the university in exchange for what the player must do in order to recieve that aid.

Pretty close, both are quiting paid positions as these aren't amateurs anymore.
They're not employees, they're freelancers. If they complete a project within the confines of the contract are they not deserving of all remuneration included in that contract?

So you are calling for Schmidt's head less than one year in? Go take a pill and lie down.
Gotta think he's on the hot seat after this loss

Any chance Sawyer Riffle will be ready to take over at kicker next year? Nobody we have has proven they can own the job ... if our freshman can't unseat someone, do we look at some sort of transfer? There has to be a handful of D2 or community college kids that could outperform what we have seen this year. Given how close many of our games have been, this could be the difference in a few wins vs losses.
How many scholarship kickers on the roster? Expect that number to go from 0 to at least 1.

Well said.
And again I would add aligning with the remaining Summit members that it’s off the table if they leave in their own. Not sure how they do it but have to make it a challenge to move on their own. Not having a bus league for Olympic sports makes it nearly impossible.
Und needs a stable Summit because where does UND put its olympic sports if too many teams leave or get kicked out? Plus, maybe one day UND moves up to football only FBS too. There's so much realignment happening, why do something that negatively affects your own conference and builds a bigger divide with your closest school?

Coach Schmidt in his first season as head coach at UND gets the 2025 Fighting Hawks into the postseason!
UND plays Tennessee Tech (11-1) at noon (CT) on Saturday, November 29, 2025. Tough matchup as Tennessee Tech’s only loss was at Kentucky. Tennessee Tech went undefeated in conference play and in FCS play.
Great opportunity for UND football. Let’s Go Hawks!
You mean Chaves got us into the playoffs. Schmidt's team !@#$ the bed in every close game.
Having Chavezzz on the committee certainly helped.
