Happy 44th Kauker!!

Storrusten from Pelican Rapids? Maybe?

I wonder if President Kelley's office is preparing a public statement regarding the stabbing that occurred at the Red Pepper over the weekend? Considering it was a student from one of the more prominent schools on campus (aviation), I think he should email the entire campus like he did for a certain other incident. Here's the link: http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/113838/ He previously set a precedent on this type of occurrence. I wonder why he hasn't done the same for this instance?

My understanding is that Hanstad is only a sophomore.

LOL!

We got handled tonight by Duluth in many aspects. Could have been a worse score actually. Give them credit. Hopefully this wakes us up and pisses us off for the 3rd place game and the NCAA tournament.

I sincerely hope and wish you were right. However as much as I hate to say it, I think it will come down to dollars and sense. I mean CENTS.

With a regional being in Minneapolis, I don't think there is ANY way that Minnesota doesn't get in, thanks to the NCAA.

Thanks for the info, 82SiouxGuy. Very helpful.

Which begs the question: Would any ndsu or UND alums who competed in the rivalry in the past actually CHEER for the other team? I tend to think no way in 'H' 'E' -double hockey sticks. Maybe some former athlete alums from either side could answer that.

Well, you might be waiting a while to get your wish and have me and some others to "die off". Wow, what an idiotic, dumb statement. You aren't employed by the Fargo Mayor's office by any chance, are you? Do you even know how old I am?

I can't believe nobody has brought up Virg's commentary in today's Herald. As much as I hate to say it, I couldn't disagree with Virg more on this. I have always been a big UND hockey fan, but on a national stage in terms of recognition, exposure and what it does for the school as a whole, it's not even close IMO. The "Big Dance" appearance is a way bigger deal than even winning the the national championship in hockey. Just having your name on the bracket is enough marketing to justify it. I would like to see numbers on how many people will see ndsu's name this year. "North Dakota State?..........wow, where did they come from?"......etc. The positives this brings to their university as a whole is too big to fully comprehend right now. By the way, there is no way I could ever cheer for the bison to do well in anything. It's just the rivalry thing I guess. But you have to give credit where credit is due. Go Sioux!

Congrats, you just "one-upped" yourself.

Trying to think of a nice way to say this, but I am having a tough time doing so. Anyways, here it goes: Dumb comments.

I'm gonna go ahead and dismiss it.

I'm sorry, but that is a GREAT looking schedule considering the circumstances. Kudos to USD and their athletic department on a great job of scheduling.

Thinking about going to the Final 5 next weekend for the games. Haven't ever been to them before, so this is new to me. A couple questions: 1. Can you buy single game tickets? Or do they have to be purchased as whole tournament packages? 2. If single game purchases are available, are they pretty easy to walk up and buy on gameday? 3. How much would single game tickets be, per seat? 4. How much are tournament packages, per seat? Thanks in advance to anybody who has answers to any of these questions.

Oh my goodness...

If we say yes, can and will you make it happen?

Fitchburg State - YUCK Gallaudet - YUCK SUNY-Maritime - YUCK UW-Eau Claire - ICK UW-Oshkosh - ISH UW-Stevens Point - GROSS Wesley - PUKE Whittier - BARF Widener - YUCK Sorry for the snobby negativity, but I really hope not.

I actually don't mind the idea of black tops. Just as long as they aren't worn with the black pants. I think all black would be a bit too much, but I'm all for a 3rd black jersey. Does this mean there will possibly be a new helmet color too?

Not saying I am right and you are wrong, but I disagree with this sentiment. These games are played for paydays and recruiting, IMO. Regional recruiting in the upper midwest is your bread & butter. For this reason, I think playing the closest schools to your recruiting base makes the most sense. That's not to say though that playing teams from Texas and California might not help picking up a kid or two along the way from those respective regions. I do like the idea of Nebraska because we are moving more towards recruiting that area harder.

^&%!&$@^!% This nickname issue is killing us in so many ways. USD schedules 2 teams from the Big 10 that won't schedule us because of the nickname. Not to mention the Summit League deal.
