It sure didn't take long for you to add to the piling on and name calling, did it? I hate to break the news to you, but college hockey still IS available to young women. It's just not available at the University of North Dakota.

"Grampa, what IS this place? The old buildings are so cool...why is it a ghost town now?" "Well, young granddaughter, this is what's left of Dickinson State University. Some folks thought that if they closed this place down, they could help young girls from Finland come to America and play hockey at UND in Grand Forks." "Whoa...UND has a WOMENS hockey team?" "I know, young granddaughter, I know..."

Lemme guess...another former North Dakotan who grew up in Grand Forks, Fargo, or Bismarck, who feels that anything west of New Salem Sue may as well be gifted to Montana. Not all of us dumb country folk who grew up in the SW corner of the state were or would be thrilled with the idea of going to college more than 100+ miles away from home. The idea of closing entire universities and colleges so we can fund a floundering athletics program for roughly 30 athletes at the flagship school is so preposterous, it doesn't even merit discussion.

President Kennedy Message on Athletics

This is an outrage! It's 2017...hasn't anyone heard of Title IX? -
So you're saying that too MANY Olympians killed the program?

My DVR is set to record all "30 for 30" episodes, so I'd probably watch it. "What if I told you there once was a womens hockey team whose success rivaled that of UConn's womens basketball team?"

@Oxbow6 I have it as the second-worst decision to leave early - right behind the one where you quit the Alpha Tau Omega intramural basketball team in the middle of your senior year because you thought the Timberwolves were gonna select you in the NBA expansion draft.

Wrong! I signed a change.org petition for Notre Dame to KEEP the defensive coordinator - to no avail.
-
WELL WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT EARLIER!
-
Just wrapped up my one millionth review of the play... ...still looking for the conclusive evidence. I'll keep you all posted.

So to keep women's hockey at UND, we eliminate universities in Dickinson and Williston. Sure, eastern ND, go ahead and enjoy our oil money from the western half of the state, just make sure you $%#* us over first when the wells go dry!
-
Agree with @cowboys5xsbs - JohnboyND7, how big of a deal would it be in Fargo if NDSU dropped football?
-
Never mind the buget, the budget is a mess!
-
"We have a $2 million deficit to overcome every season." "OMG! WE HAVE OLYMPIC ATHLETES TO THINK ABOUT HERE! LOSSES SHOULD BE IRRELEVANT!"

Godspeed, Beer Grandma. We'll miss you.

BTW, 3,152 in attendance for the US vs Canada game. The venue holds 4,500 including SRO.
-
Yep! The way the news media has portrayed this, Mark Kennedy himself walked out onto center ice during the women's NCAA championship game and pulled the North Dakota squad off the ice!

62-100.

Plus, his sister is number 3 prostitute in all of Kazakhstan... ...(From the movie "Borat")

9 UMD fans making the trip to the Frozen Four? That's like 4 more than usually attend their homes games these days. Progress in Duluth!

You mean the t-shirts that UND administration had printed up at The Sioux Shop and gave away free to all students for the university-sponsored on-campus Spring Break orgy? THOSE t-shirts?

2010 Olympics: Canada and the US outscored their preliminary round opponents by a combined score of 69-3. At the 2016 World Championships, non-USA vs Canada preliminary games in Pool A were decided by a combined score of 24-4. The gold medal-winning US team defeated bronze medalist Russia in the medal round semi-finals by the score of 9-0. Sorry if I'm not "engaged" in watching that.

I think they might have an NHL thread around here somewhere for the Flyers discussion side-bar that keeps popping up...
-
So there was no opportunity with any of the previous World Championships or Olympic Games?

Nothing was learned from the 1980's oil boom, was it? Just kick back, let the money roll in, then spend it as fast as you can. Nice work.
