best fanbase is subjective to you. Some schools have excellent fanbases themselves. travel unbelievable well? again our fanbase travels well to "destination" games but a lot go missing when it comes time to go see a regular season game. Best facilities? A lot of schools have caught up to the Ralph. Are they big like the REA, probably not but everything else is just as top notch. No one is playing in an outdated arena any longer. 8 national championships is nice but how many have been won in the past 22 years? I'll give you league championships but making it to the national tournament and failing does not bode well. A lot of other schools have a history or producing high end talent too. Minnesota, Denver, St. Cloud, Boston College, Boston University, Wisconsin, Duluth all produce high end talent. Hell, Michigan has darn near 2 lines of 1st round draft picks playing for them.

What advantages do we have over other school in recruiting? Most schools nowadays have just as good (or on the same level) arena/training facilities as UND.

I got a 56 green jersey and the patch and the NCHC patch....not sure I want to get rid of it though

Scott Sandelin he went back to back in winning a national championship and he still hasn't won coach of the year.

Far from not being able to understand the game. Do I think Berry is a good coach, ya I do but to sit there and say he has been consistent is simple not true.

The problem with your take is Berry hasn't had consistency. After he won the national championship it was a first round exit and then not even making the tournament.

Don't agree on a lot of your takes but this one is spot on. Its been 5 years since we made it to a FF. We haven't had that happen since the early 90's.

I understand that many don't have an opportunity to say "I was an Olympic athlete", but where is the pride in saying "I represented a communist country because I wasn't good enough to represent my home country"? You think Ralph Cox would've renounced his citizenship to play for a communist country?

How can any of these hockey players "from China" look at themselves in the mirror and say I was an olympic athlete? They had to know that they were never going to actually compete for a medal, so why even bother renouncing your HOME country to play for some communists? I don't get it...

Any reporter/media outlet who covered this topic would've been a fool not too. I believe Schlossman and Rob Port did...

Seems to be a fire storm on the facebook page "all things fighting sioux" one commentator said this and is it true? The proposed cuts by the department did not include Women's hockey nor did it included Women's swimming and diving. Kennedy changed what Faison proposed. I was there, everything you have been parroting in this thread is what you read in the papers and not the real story. What Faison and Irle originally proposed, cut UND down to the minimum sports for D1, and would have saved more money. This was supposed to have come out in a press conference on Monday, Kennedy stopped that and changed it to Wednesday. That's why the hockey recruit was in town. They weren't on the chopping block until Kennedy played politics.

Toolkit for what? A lot of the pro players end up saying they wished they never left early. Fact of the matter is when those kids have millions of dollars waved in front of them, they are only thinking about the money and getting to the NHL.

Where is the official release? I have only seen that he has been invited.

i was fortunate to get one before they sold out.

I have a couple gamers of the early 90's ones that I wear regularly.

very nice pickup!

They will have special patches on the jerseys.

nice pickup! do you have more pictures of it?

Doesn't the NHL own the North Stars logo?

These sports teams can ask for them all they want. I just don't want to hear complaining from them if attendance starts to dip and revenue slides due to people not wanting to go due to these hassles just to get in. Also, people got a long this past year without sports. I think they have seen that it is possible to spend your time and money elsewhere.

Augustana has been saying they are going full fledge D1 for a long time. I won't believe this until a team is on the Ice

Hold the phone here. I never once said Berry is a terrible coach and Sandy is better, I am just pointing out facts. I also am pointing out that Hak never got a pass and neither should Berry. I am sorry you don't like what I pointed out and that it probably hurt your feelings but the fact remains, Berry hasn't been consistent in his short tenure. Does that mean he should be fired, no it sure doesn't. What it does mean is they have work to do and Berry would be the first to tell you that too.

math must not be your strong point...

Never did I wish they would leave. However, it was going to be a given that Kawaguchi, adams, kiersted and mismash were going to leave because they were seniors. Pinto is a 32nd overall pick, he wasn't going to stay (especially since they tried to get him to leave last year).

how is that a dumb post? are you afraid of facts?
