Yes they will. Whooda thunk that the Houston Texans and Atlanta Falcons would be in the mix for the NFL's worst record this season?
-
That Tommy Kramer guy threw for almost 25,000 yards and 159 touchdowns with the Vikings. Granted, he also tossed 157 interceptions, but still...I don't know if I would say 'hasn't been settled since Tarkenton retired.'
-
You kicked Tony Hrkac out of your seats? Nice. "Hey, jerkweed, would you mind getting your butt out of that seat? It belongs to me. Oh, Mr. Hrkac, can I have your autograph? I'm a big fan!"
-
And on that, we agree.
-
So if Hak called out his players and cited their lack of maturity and toughness, this thread would dry up and it would be ok? I doubt it.
-
The 'tradition' comment was in regards to Notre Dame FOOTBALL, not hockey.
-
That is complete and total speculation.
-
Did I say that UMD and UND have the 'same' tradition? I did not. So, on one hand, UND has the Ralph, which is a huge recruiting tool. On the other hand, UMD has a shiny new $80 million arena, which doesn't do the Bulldogs any good. Huh?
-
Yes, Notre Dame was in the title game last year...thanks to a bogus call in the Pitt game, another one vs Stanford, and the too-good-to-be-true story of their linebacker. That's it.
-
One bunch of five star recruits wins an NCAA title...the next bunch loses in the 1st round of the NIT. What's your point, that John Calipari apparently lost his coaching mind in one season?
-
So if I still support Hakstol, despite wanting some tweaks made, I am automatically labeled as 'happy' with the season? Talk about dealing in absolutes...
-
How has history and tradition worked out for Notre Dame football since about 1988? Yale hockey has a history of pride and tradition. A lack of titles doesn't make those meaningless.
-
December 2010: $80 million Amsoil Arena opens. March 2011: UMD wins NCAA title. Two years later, Bulldogs slog thru a 14-19-5 season.

I disagree. It's an entire system at UND that values developing pro hockey players over NCAA success. Minnesota had the same problem last year. Hard to focus on winning an NCAA tournament game when 5-6 guys are more worried about when pen to use when signing their pro contract five minutes after their season ends.
-
To the Sandelin supporters, do you think he would have lasted 11 seasons in Grand Forks with his record? He would have been run out of town no later than year 8.
-
Matt Henderson...Jeff Panzer...David Hoogsteen...Brad DeFauw...Peter Armbrust...the only way players like that would get a look at REA today if they were 16 year old kids would be if they paid $5 and went on the tour.
-
That he's only busy trying to recruit NHL-caliber talent? Take a look at the media guide and REA itself. The showcase is being an NHL'er...that's not all on Hakstol.
-
How did Team USA manage to win the 1980 gold medal with that Eruzione slug and an NHL back-up goalie on the team? Throwing 14 NHL draft picks into the line-up is no sure-thing. How did Kentucky's vaunted freshman do last year in hoops? That's right...first-round tournament loss. Not in the NCAA's...the NIT.
-
Yes, yes, yes, because recruiting NHL potential for tomorrow is a sure-fire guarantee of NCAA tournament success today. Just ask Yale.
-
What's the solution? A cyanide tablet in each coach's pocket to be swallowed immediately after an NCAA tournament loss and a fresh-start the next season?
-
St Lawrence had two Hobey Baker candidates last year too. How'd that translate into post-season success for the Saints? Last year's 'alarming' Sioux season was about 4 minutes short of a Frozen Four appearance before it all went to heck.
-
I think I'm your huckleberry... The folks grumbling about Hak tonight are the same ones who think 7 losing seasons in 13 years is acceptable as long as there is one NCAA title in there somewhere. For the record, I expressed frustration with dump and chase futility on the PP right after the 2011 Frozen Four. Very frustrating, especially since UMD figured out how to carry the puck into the zone on the PP 48 hours later.
-
I don't recall Hak having had an 11-win season...
