So all of the other schools should have just been happy that they would have had their games at UND televised? They shouldn't have tried to get their home games too? UND should have created a conference all by themselves so all of their homes games could be aired nationally.

That article is from 2011, when it seemed like the best of the MWC were leaving for the Big East/Big 12. The conference was losing Boise, SDSU and TCU. Now Boise and SDSU have come begging back. They also added several other schools and the MWC is now a pretty stable conference with room for teams to leave and not have a major impact.

Apparently,there are at least two cars that have tried to go from Brookings to Watertown and didn't make it. Just stay in Sioux Falls or Brookings for another night.

Right now, No travel is advised from halfway between Brookings and Watertown. If anyone happens to make it to Watertown today, please post on here. I've got friends/family planning on trying to get to Watertown today from Sioux Falls and then waiting to see how things get in the afternoon. I29 is still closed from Watertown to Fargo.

This is a pretty awesome experience to be at. I'm in the lower section right behind Omaha goalie. Views aren't great but I knew that coming in. It's all about the fun with friends and Sioux fans!

We may not reach the amount needed but if we let the admin know we would pitch in some, it may help get them sooner

Let's all round up some money and buy the greens for the team this year.

Mayville and Jamestown are not anywhere as close to as good as Mankato, Augustana or Northern State.

Good to see NDSU finally get with the times and try and improve their online football presence. Glad they've quit their whining about unfair online football funding and instead are actually going to try and do something that UND has been doing for years. Just another example of NDSU following UND in pretty much everything.

That stat is just wrong. He's played 61 NHL games, and has only 12 NHL goals. Even if they're counting his AHL games, he's played 25 AHL/NHL games this year and hasd 13 goals.

Does anyone know any details about when the hoop broke? Could it have happened late yesterday afternoon during the team shoot around? If it happened yesterday, it would be tough to completely remove the hoop before game time. If it happened before that, then it's inexcusable.

I'll be there with 6 other people ranging from Colorado, Oregon, Rapid City and Fargo.

The broadcast was pulled because of bandwidth issues. It's the same reason the SDSU/NDSU basketball game wasn't televised on DirecTV either.

No doubt all NDSU games are money makers for the school and the area around the campus. However, with a significant number of UND fans in Fargo I think many of the restaurants would welcome a UND/NDSU matchup in Fargo. I'd imagine there would be a waiting list for nearly every bar/restaurant in town with the number of people who would turn out to watch. You can't pack more people in a full stadium but you can in bars and restaurants throughout town and throughout the region.

Good. They'll need more people getting on board with it to help fund those extra trips. They already have a respectable budget which is why they are able to upgrade to HD and cover games along the I29 region. It will take a little more ads to be able to make the trips to Duluth, St. Cloud, and Omaha.

Feel free to start advertising on Midco to help them get more funding to be able to afford to travel to road games.

From reliable sources within Midco. Once basketball season is over, the HD truck that is in South Dakota will be brought up to UND for the 1st round of the playoffs. The current SD truck will then be stripped and upgraded to HD for next season.

You're comparing Fox Sports, a broadcasting company that has affiliates throughout the country to a regional sports network? You clearly don't realize the budget differences between the two companies for both equipment and talent. UND hockey is great in our minds but for someone outside of Grand Forks, how appealing is doing UND games? Face it, Grand Forks is a big step down compared to Minneapolis when it comes to sports broadcasting. You're comparing 3 full time employees to a company with dozens. You say Midco should use Fox Sports North as an example of how to do a production, but who is giving them the time to get anywhere close to that level. Most people here are very quick to just say pull the plug but I guarantee that the production quality has increased since that first game this year. The crew is only going to get better. Plus, people will get their chance to see Midco's HD feed during the first round of the WCHA playoffs.

And who called you cute? He was talking about your actions, not you.

For NDSU during the last 10 years of the series: 28-21 12-6 19-7 13-16 13-10 39-25 10-31 33-19 21-7 34-13 For UM up to when they announced they wouldn't play UND: 4-1 2-3 4-1 2-4 6-0 1-5 3-3 3-3 4-0 6-1 6-3 1-1 2-1 3-4 4-2 3-2 2-3 7-3 5-3 I doubt it's a coincidence that neither team wants to play UND after both NDSU football and UM hockey didn't perform as well as expected.

Yup, UND screwed over the possibility of playing NDSU by accepting a conference bid instead of waiting for an invite that may never have come. By that reasoning, NDSU ruined the rivalry by not waiting for UND to go d1 so they could both be in the Great West. How dare NDSU accept that MVFC bid and ruin the rivalry!!!

Ok, so please show me where they list the tickets sold number. Until I see one I guess you expect me to believe that every ticket is sold? I can claim UND sold every ticket to all home football games but it wasn't full because attendance just didn't quite match up.

You keep saying NDSU sells out every game but the attendance figures say otherwise. Any proof these games are actual sellouts?

No fans can not contact potential recruits. As a fan, you are considered a booster for your school. Contact with a potential recruit is an NCAA violation. Once they sign an LOI, then you can talk to them, I believe. Similar to how coaches can't publicly talk about a kid until they sign.
