The era-appropriate banners look fantastic.

3-3 in their last 6 against three teams whose only hope of going to an NCAA regional is to buy a ticket. Yea, they're killin' it this season.

Won't that be next October? You know, when they raise the 2018-2019 Shots On Goal Champions banner?

@Benny Baker Here ya go, Benny!

I created a whole thread here right after the 2016 tournament...I'll see if I can shamelessly "bump" it and you can read thru it.

Today's "North Dakota Hot Take" is brought to you by "Hot Pockets."

Really? I was told that the new scoreboard was going to have a big SHAWN-O at the top of it. Wouldn't that imply some sort of contribution on your part?

The above post was brought to you by Gerrells Sports Center.

Boys, boys, boys! The correct spelling we’re looking for here is “cord.”

How about the unwillingness of REA to display OLD logos — i.e., the era-appropriate logos on the championship banners? Obviously, the folks there prefer to pretend that the ONLY logo that has existed in program history is the Brien version.

Well, that and the play of the team...

I think the NHL is looking for some new blood to be infused into the Winter Classic. Cue the announcement that the Stars' opponent will be the Chicago Blackhawks.

Wow! That's even bigger than the video board at The Harborcenter!

Well, New England was in the Super Bowl in 1985 and 1996, so there’s that...

Yup.

And where have Miami, the Jets, and Buffalo been since about 1993? Can you name a worse division in football than the AFC East?

So, since 2001, the Rams (2X), Cardinals, 49ers, and Seahawks (2X) have all been to the Super Bowl. Now I realize that the divisions have realigned since then, but contrast that with the current AFC (L)east...

Not to further depress you (and myself), but they were actually 0-THREE-1 against Bemdji State and Canisius.

Maybe that's the reason for the decline in attendance at REA? Now, TV viewers can see the black numbers, so they can stay at home.

I’ll pass.

Well, Michigan State swept Minnesota, so at least the weekend wasn’t a total loss.

Oh, that’s still up for debate?

Fair enough, however, this team is what it is at this point, and at best, it’s .500. To expect NoDak to sweep St Cloud, UMD, Denver, and Western Michigan based upon the body of work we have witnessed so far this season is simply not being realistic. The black jerseys have become a farce — and to break them out again this year shows further desperation. I prefer the greens as well anyways. Put away the blacks for a while.

True. I was aware of their OOC record as it’s been well-documented this season.
