I found that the NCAA has some tickets for sale, for the full weekend or now they also offer for single-game tickets. All of their seats are in 300-level, since the lower levels sold out many weeks ago. For the UND semifinal game, I just got Sec 313 row G for $75/ticket. They also can sell groups of 10 for $65/ticket. They can only sell these tickets until end-of-business on Thursday, March 31. If interested, contact David at the NCAA, w: 317-554-1592

Tunity is available at Google Play store for Android, and at the Apple store (or whatever the iPhone app store is called). BigGreyAnt41 is correct. This app is not communicating with the TV, it only uses a camera images of the TV to tell Tunity which audio channel to stream.

I had a wonderful discovery at the sports bar today, there is an app called Tunity that allows my phone to stream the audio of a muted TV in real-time. Being the lone college hockey fan in the bar while watching a muted TV just got a lot better. The app has you point the phone camera at the TV (I guess to verify that you really have access to <channel>), and then the app streams the sound to you. The app also gives you the ability to tweak the audio timing to arrive earlier or later, so you can sync it with your TV broadcast. They advertise that the audio-only stream is just ~20 kbps, which would take almost 8 days straight to accumulate 1 GB of data (my attempt at the math figures 5 days, but okay). (I had earlier been trying to be clever by picking up a streamed radio broadcast from the UND sports network, but all of the ones I could find lag the Dish broadcast by 15-60 seconds.)

I'm not saying, "be nice to them." Treating (or insulting) women based on performance/merit rather than looks starts only when men stand up for it.

It's (past) time to end the "Husky women" chant at SCSU games. I'll admit, it is a clever play on words invoking the enemy's nickname, but that's where any intelligence ends. Bringing women's looks into things is (rightfully) headed way out of style and it's wrong for the society we claim to live in. As men, we can do better. Your integrity is reflected when you do or don't participate. Even if you don't refrain for the SCSU-fan women and young girls, do it for your sisters standing next to you, who hear your message loud and clear. BACKGROUND "Husky women!" has been chanted by some UND fans for at least 15 years, largely at the SCSU cheer/dance team.

I’d like to try something. My challenge for this topic is this: Addressing nickname voters, state your case in fewer than 200 words.Do not post on this topic more than once.I obviously can’t police these rules, but I'm curious to see whether this can work.(Hint: The shorter your message, the greater odds that your intended audience will not skip over it.) There are thousands of alumni that have only loosely followed the nickname-choosing epic. They are now getting postcards from the Alumni Office, asking them to confirm their contact information for an October vote. Many of these alumni will find their way to these message boards, but they won’t want to read hundreds of pages of arguing.

If anyone near Durham, NC would like to get together, please PM me.

An advantage of getting more hockey conferences is that there will be less hand-wringing about having too many in-conference matchups in years where [5 or more former WCHA schools] are all threatening to make the NCAAs.

Ultimately, why we're really following this is to find the likelihood for advancement, not to learn how many permutations include advancement. You're saying that the the permutations tally is close enough to be treated as the likelihood in everywhere but the small print at the bottom of the blog post. You had me satisfied with the quoted statement, and I appreciate the simulation posted this morning that supports it.

Jim, do I understand this correctly?: The probabilities used are the share of the remaining combinations, without any weight given to the likelihood of the outcomes? (i.e. The system considers scenarios equally likely where UND or CC wins the first game.) If that's the case, I think I should prefer results found with a monte carlo simulation. (BTW, I really like the way the results are presented in that blog post.)

I'm tired of scrolling through pages of conversation. Can I get a score and time update?

I guess we're looking at the 2013-14 ACC hockey champions. (Auto-bid?)

Kinda funny, from the Scout.com thread: "The North Dakota Fighting Frackers has a nice ring to it! I'm half joking. Some school will do this in the next 5 years."

Reflecting on an airplane today, I should have left the "if I had a daughter" part off because it only distracts from the topic at hand. Nonetheless, my hypothetical this morning questioned whether UND is portraying that they take women's education seriously. For those that can only see the photo shoot now: The badly acted and conceived ad had Ragnar (the human mascot) teaching the "class" about the new Vikings + UND scholarship while Viktor (the cartoon mascot) is interrupting "class" by hitting on the coy cheerleader next to him, and all of the cheerleaders' lines were ditzy. They should've brought in Sean Penn to play surfer Jeff Spicoli, too.

IMHO, UND just posted an awful and degrading UND commercial. It's like an 1980s comedy movie. Ugh. If I had a high school daughter, this would turn me away from UND. Commercial: http://youtu.be/Ys_E3X_2w-8 This is the story about shooting it on und.edu, which is how I came across the commercial this morning. http://und.edu/featu...commercial2.cfm
