After 23,000+ posts, I was bound to write something worth a damn, right?

I’m less than satisfied with last night’s effort.

That’s been an issue that has plagued this team for as long as I can remember. I’m on pins and needles as we get to less than 2:00 left in the period because you can pretty much count on someone falling asleep and an opposing goal being scored.

Not if your 3 opposing head coach is Dan Campell!

I might have to venture down to Mendota Heights some night and watch a UST game…

You are correct. I already pointed out elsewhere that Ovechkin picked up #790 in 3x3 OT the other night. What an absolute travesty if he ever eclipses Gretzky in similar fashion.

Exactly.

There’s a first time for everything, isn’t there? Again, what’s the upside teamwise? An extra point? Increased Pairwise ranking? It’s literally NOTHING except the casual fan can think the team “won.” Case in point below…

I can hear the Bemidji ambulance all the way over here in Wisconsin.

Don’t get me started on Dan Campbell. Nobody can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory quite like that guy.

Cue Berry getting him thru the transfer portal in 3…2…1

Scratch #25. Make that #26.

Any hint as to what jerseys the team will be wearing?

When is the last time the words “UND moves UP to #25 in the Pairwise” were spoken or typewritten?

Just imagine what that other thing would have done to, ahem, “lift” the individual team morale…

No mimosas tomorrow morning again, boys.

Not yet. Someone’s probably watching that trademark closely.

In the good old days. Before that, in the REALLY good old days, you played 5x5 and then went home if no one scored.

2/3 of the folks in the Sioux Facebook group would promptly sew them over the Hawk patch on their new NODAK jerseys…

Sorry, didn’t mean to “out” you. #shootoutferdaoxbow6

Never mind the goalie…what if Blake sprains an ankle?

Yes it is standard for all games now. Too many non-conference games last year where the teams didn’t know what to do at the end of 3x3.

HUZZAH! A win! Oh wait…

It was embarrassing watching the fans celebrate like they won the NCAA tournament after the Quinnipiac game on Friday night. The look of shock on the faces of fans around me when I informed them it is in the books as a tie.
