I think what is sometimes lost in the recruiting is that these kids are still students. While much of their time will be spent on school and football, they may want a chance to enjoy just living that college lifestyle. At UND, that often means going to hockey games. This goes back to that discussion some of us had earlier about bringing the kids to a hockey game. Here's an example of one recruit who really enjoyed the game. I'm hoping there are a lot more who see what kind of support the city of GF and UND can offer if they put a winning team on the field/ice.

From Sam Riddle: "They took me to a hockey game and it was sweet, I had never been to a hockey game before. “

Also talks about his teammate Jesse Bobbit who we offered as safety.

And now a second one!

Whine all you want about the quality of the Midco feed but don't make things up. Midco controls the red light that tells the officials when they are back from commercial. That light doesn't go off and play doesn't resume unless Midco is ready.

Tied at 27 at the under 4. Montana with a free throw after the break.

Anderson hits a 3 and UND is up 22-20! UM turnover.. UND ball. 7 min left

I'm surprised by how many shots Huff has taken so far but he's hit a couple threes in a row and has only forced a couple so far.

Here's a pretty hilarious read about the game... http://thesleepinggiant.us/america-reaffirms-universal-truth-hockey-is-ours/

For those that will try and refute this by saying its only because of Braden Hansen are conveniently forgetting what Marcus Hendricksen did too.

In the few random minutes I was able to watch throughout the game, I saw at least 4 offensive rebounds including the one to setup the game winning three. Nice to see that improvement.

The seniors recruited for the 2012 team joined UND knowing they only had one year to make the playoffs. Next year's team will have had two chances and so on. Yes, we are out of the transition but it's going to take a few years for us to have athletes who joined UND with the chance to make the playoffs every single year. I have faith that the skill level of the team will continue to grow. UND has picked up some bigger recruits the past few years now that those athletes are able to compete for the playoffs all four years.

With redshirting this year and being a pretty good prospect you would think he would have the ability to play immediately for UND. That may be another plus that draws him here.

I'm coming up from Colorado for the weekend and I'd like to go to a game with my brother and sister-in-law. It also will be my girlfriend's first Sioux game!

I propose we use "Piss Yellow" as the sarcastic color, since we all know the NDSU fans are full of $hit and have to be taken with a grain of salt.

Just figured out it was related to a program I had installed. Regardless... is donating to Siouxsports.com an option? I know myself and several others who would be interested as a thank you.

Am I the only one who is seeing ads at the bottom of my screen now when I'm on Siouxsports? It's pretty annoying and I for one would be willing to pay a little bit of money to help support Siouxsports.com if it would mean fewer ads. Is that an option? Have you thought about adding that?

I was there too. Here's the wikipedia description: "As time ran out the Sioux had one chance as kicker Jeff Glas attempted a fifty-two yard field goal. The kick was the ugliest kick in history, but still went through giving the Sioux the improbable win."

I'll be at the game in Greeley this year. Bringing a few friends from Colorado Springs and at least one from Rapid City, SD. Should be a fun atmosphere with at least 50% Sioux fans!

I never said they would get in on DirecTv. In fact, I think it is highly doubtful they will get added. However, having an HD signal is a lot more favorable for attracting viewers than a SD signal. The one benefit to having an SD signal is that it's going to take less bandwidth.

That will never happen. He wouldn't be within 10 yards of the guy when he gets into the endzone.

By speeding up the conversion to HD, Midco is making their product much more appealing to DirecTV.

...for a year. And then Midco will have better equipment than FSSN could have bought in at least half a dozen years.

Actually, "and crew" is still doing the games for Midco. FSSN hired out freelance videographers. Midco does the same. Most of the crew is not full time, they hire out the same people FSSN did for their broadcasts.
