That’s like saying “I will watch what I say so I don’t piss of the FSF, hockey only crowd”. She picked a fight with Kennedy and the university when she ran to the Herald and spat out a bunch of BS, and for what, to get her 5 minutes of fame, to get more money from the school? The situation will be better in twelve years when the university controls their own ticket sales of ALL UND programs. Seemed to have worked well prior to 2001, I’m sure it will work well again in 2030. IMO I have the utmost respect for RALPH Englestad, HE gave us the arena. I have NO respect for his daughter. Ask UNLV if they respect her after pulling funds for a med school.

Meaning what they aren’t worth getting 100% of their ticket sales? They aren’t relevant? Attendance fell towards the end of the Muss era and has since rebounded nicely.

So you pick the Muss years of our GWFC days, and 2 years of Bubba’s tenure that was preceding our playoff trip. Try attendance from 2016-2017 which had 6 games over 10k alone.

4,455 days until Queen KEM is dethroned.

As long as we stay competitive with Washington the game will be fun to see.

My bad, thanks for that info.

Maybe Brian Jones should give him a look along with Bubba.

They blamed that season on injuries and a bunch of “close” losses which counts as wins to them. I hope last season was a glitch due to injuries but if we can’t get at least 7 wins then it may be time to shake up the coaching staff.

Your little girl story was dumb. Don’t worry I am sure you will have another poll about 4 people wearing Sioux gear that hate the Hawk logo that no one is wearing. Carry on.

I thought Petey said no one is wearing Hawk gear per his 3 girls not wearing the Hawk logo unofficial study he had.

Why? Maybe the nickname issue plays a big part. It started in 2005 with the NCAA’s list and Engelstad told Strinden he could see UND’s name being changed prior to that list coming out (there is a Valley News Live story on it). Now that UND has a new name and logo they are wanting to wait as long as possible to hand it over. No Hawk on the ice, on the outside of the building, or even on center court of the Betty.

Year one Bubba improves team to 5-7 with Muss’s players. Year two Bubba improves team to 7-4 (got screwed out of a playoff berth), gives UND their first winning record since 2011. Year three Bubba improves team to a share of the conference title. Year four, injuries injuries injuries. Year five....coming in August.

How would we be further along with a different coach? Players bolted when Muss was fired, and coming off a 3 win season Bubba had to start in the hole.

It’s been an uphill battle for Bubba to recruit people. He has to sell the program who has one DI playoff berth, a rival team 70 miles who has a dynasty currently going, and fight other FCS, and FBS teams in a footprint which we are behind the 8 ball as the new guy in town. This is his 5th season his players are seniors so the word is still out on his recruiting. But I’m sure you can do better at outrecruiting the likes of NDSU, SDSU, UNI and Minnesota.

But we do have the Hawk name and logo somewhere on the court so it’s a baby step for the Englestad people. It’s a lot more then what did on the ice. I guess we have to take it as a small win for rebranding.

Don’t worry you won’t see it, it’s in a building that doesn’t host hockey.

They have to replace the BSC logos so why wouldn’t they redue the rest or at least the end zones. The Alerus since it opened has never had a UND logo on the 50. It would be something to ask either the Alerus or the people at UND.

Alerus will be getting new turf before we start MVFC play. Let’s see what they decide. Alerus has a big Hawk football logo on the outside of the building they have Hawk’d up the place more than any other building so the word is still out on what the new turf will be next year or early 2020.

Self won it all against Memphis, it’s not like he has never won the big game.

I like how the announcer said South Dakota to North Dakota.

I grew up with Gunther and Glas and I remember the constant trips to the playoffs including trips to Springfield, then Jones took over and we are where we are.

Jones is the last coach, probably throughout all of our current coaches, from the DII era.

Yeah, you attending school. Have you passed the third grade yet Billy?

Basketball has basically the same rules and tempo, women’s hockey has no checking which is a key element of the game. Could you imagine if the men didn’t have checking?

Maybe more people would accept women’s hockey if it wasn’t so boring with the no checking rule.
