  1. How has it failed you? It's worked flawlessly for me on a laptop and on my cellphone connected to wifi.
  2. Tickets are easy to come by. In the past, most UND fans sat on the home team side, in sections E & F. One year, we just posted up in the front of the student section right behind the UND bench. There really aren't a lot of great options in Greeley. Some chain restaurant/bars, WeldWerks brewery and some good mexican food. Fort Collins is a million times better. UNDColorado, what can we look for at your tailgate? Big flag, etc? We will likely be there around 9 so we can get a good start on tailgating.
  3. I get punishing the school a bit because the infractions weren't caught until late in the game. However, I'm not a big fan of punishing the new coach. I think NCAA penalties should be on the coach and follow them around. Fine the coach X amount of dollars, ban them from coaching in NCAA for 10 years. UNC is going to feel the affects of Hill for several years, yet Hill just needs to go out and find a nice D3 job to "get back on his feet."
  4. I'll be there as well. Usually a decent number of UND fans. I highly recommend going to WeldWerks Brewery. It's owned by a friend of a friend and he does a great job. We usually stay in Fort Collins the night of the game as there are more options for things to do than Greeley.
  5. Once somebody starts a Siouxsports.com poll that will be the most respected here.
  6. He doesn't seem to enjoy anyone questioning his choices.
  7. The Vikings should go 16-0. Clearly the best team since the invention of football.
  8. 2078 is the timeline now, I believe.
  9. Great run for a TD by Olivera. Followed his blockers and got some great blocks. 26-0. XP is good 27-0.
  10. Touchdown Santiago! There were at least two Sac St defenders who had their backs to John as he ran past them. XP is good. 20-0
  11. Likely will only drop to #15 in the polls.
  12. Every college hockey conference to host a postseason tournament at the X has been forced to go to home sites due to lack of attendance.
  13. Those empty seats to the non-UND games have already been sold. The NCHC still makes money if UND fans only go to their games. Concessions may be less but they've still got the money from selling those seats. UND not making it one year is why the NCHC won't buy out their contract with the Target Center. The conference is well-prepared for UND to not make it a couple years. It won't be pretty but it is a reality. It also costs a lot less to fly (or bus) four teams to the cities on 4-day notice instead of trying to find flights for four teams into places like Grand Forks and Oxford. The first weekend of playoff travel already costs enough headaches and money. The return on tickets would be a lot less at home venues compared to the Frozen Faceoff as well.
  14. Correct. $$$ And overall, the feedback from the 2016 FF was much better than previous years.
  15. That success hasn't transferred to significant attendance boost, although that is most likely because they were playing off-campus. The bandwagon fans that joined up when football started doing well haven't really transitioned over to any other sports.
  16. Nearly bankrupt a conference to move to a different arena? I'd definitely prefer a move to the X as its facilities will benefit me personally during the Frozen Faceoff week. But we've seen that a vocal part of SiouxSports does not speak for the general UND fan. There were a lot of people who said after year 1 at TC that they'd never go back. Yet, attendance went up nearly 6,000 people in year two. There were more people who said they'd never go back after year 2 and attendance only dropped 500 people from year 2 to year 3. Remember, Fenton didn't sign the deal with the Target Center. That happened before he arrived. However, realize that the NCHC is a business and the Target Center is/will offer significantly more in return compared to the X. And please don't get me started on the quote below. UND fans do support it, that's why there's been more than 22,000 people there the last two years. That's not going to change despite you and your "lots of folks."
  17. The bolded part is the key reason. How long would the bump in attendance last for UND if they opened a new stadium?
  18. I only got to watch highlights but it seemed like the new Midco announcer did well.
  19. I think green pants and helmet with the grey jersey would look nice.
  20. For those who love the interlocking Notre Da... sorry, North Dakota logo, check out PowerDecals. They're pretty cool and they have lots of teams. I inquired about an F'n Hawks logo and they said they're working on it. Would be a good chance to get the ND logo so many were excited to have in 2012
  21. 2 fumble recoveries, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble, 7 tackles and a safety for Reyes.
  22. Safety!
  23. He was down
  24. Good job moving the ball this drive
