If you're offering odds on that spread, I'll take UND to cover +20 against NDSU this fall or any time.

Yeah, I would've rather seen a path forward for Danny to stay as well. My comment about him coming back was more in jest/wishful thinking. As I see it, after Danny left, they had two options - either start from zero, or keep Bubba on and go out to find talent that can come in as an assistant and be ready to take over when Bubba retires. I like keeping Bubba and building internally to improve and succeed him. I'm really curious how so many people seem to think that the answer is just to ditch Bubba and suddenly we are beating the state schools every year and getting tan in Frisco. He's made some head scratching decisions over the past few seasons that have cost us games, there's no doubt about that, but I just don't think replacing him is going to gain us ground faster than building up under him.

I don't see what everyone is so upset about. 1) You all seem to be certain that Bubba is going to keep the program afloat and in playoff contention. Can't say the same for a new hire. 2) Bubba is just keeping the seat warm for Danny to come back in a few years with the SDSU book of secrets and take over as HC. He'll hand Danny a solid program that is primed and ready to take from good to great.

Thanks for catching that! I updated the sheets.

I added onto the detailed current standing you've created with a sheet that will allow you to select the outcome of each remaining NCHC game and see what the final standings will be. You just have to select the outcome of each game in the column highlighted in yellow and the standings at the top left corner will automatically update and sort based on your selections.

This was my favorite memory - it was my first game at Mariucci. My friend and it were in the SRO up at the rail in the offensive zone for the goal. We danced around the concourse as the Minny fans filed out. Also, we spent the remainder of our printing budgets for the semester at the business school making about 1000 of these that we put on cars in the parking lot and handed out to fans until security made us throw away the last handful of them. The back side said "Can you please point out which number Kyle Okposo is?" (he had just ditched them early for the NHL) Credit to whoever originally created this on here:

For anyone going to the game, a few recommendations: The Boise Greenbelt is a large walking path that runs along the Boise river basically the whole way across the metro. It goes directly by the stadium - enjoy a nice walk on it. The downtown area is also walkable from the Stadium/campus and it's one of the cleanest, nicest downtowns you'll find. Lots of food and drinking options. If you have extra days, drive up highway 55 or 21 and go into the mountains. McCall and Stanley are each about 3 hours away and both are gorgeous. If you want a short, fun hike closer to the stadium, go to Camel's Back Park. It's a few hundred steps straight up to a great view of Boise.

I wasn't familiar with his organization so I looked at them a bit - none of their programs seem to require any religious affiliation to participate and they seem to represent the demographics of the locations they serve. (Almost all the kids they serve in Haiti are black, almost all the kids they serve at their ND camps are white) Yes, some of the programs have Christian programming, but isn't it their right to put out whatever messaging they want? What am I missing that makes this a racist organization that requires a specific religious affiliation?

Thank you! Even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes. SCSU is the Duke of NCAA hockey - never trust them in the brackets. Congrats to @UNDBIZ and @CLASSY FREDDIE BLASSIE - I'm happy to share the honors! When do we receive our mountains of prizes?

The product hasn’t been great, which is certainly a big part of this picture, but I feel like the concepts I talked about above are well at play here. I don’t care what else was going on last night, this is a truly pathetic turnout for the Gophers.

Thanks for that. I knew there weren't any 06-08 but I wasn't sure before then. I recall that when it got below zero, the walk across campus was actually nicer than warmer days - your legs would start to go numb and you stopped feeling cold.

I seem to recall a second-hand quote from President Kupchella that if students were willing to risk their lives to go to the bars, they could risk their lives to go to class. Was there ever a snow day during his presidency? (99-08)

In today's world, they know that the e-mail got to you, you opened it, you clicked on it, all of your survey responses, and any other pages on UND's websites that you browsed. Or they don't want you to win the raffle.

Can you imagine if they tried to take someone out of their seat at the Ralph? "We've oversold the UM games...you'll be rebooked for the St. Cloud series."
