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

I used CHN a while back. They did something that pissed me off and I canceled it. I don't exactly recall but I think it was something like getting several duplicate score updates after 1 AM one night. I've re-signed with CHN for now, but I'd much rather get short commentaries from a green-tinted-glasses-wearing Sioux fan.

Here's what I want for Christmas: I want each Sioux hockey final score to appear on my non-smart phone as a txt. I don't want to subscribe to UNDMHockey on Twitter because the traffic is too high (over 60 in last game alone). I just want to be out and about on Saturday night, and poof, I get a text that says hey, the Sioux just beat CC 4-3. (A few years ago, Siouxsports played with an automated SMS system but the internet score sources were not dependable enough.) Bonus: The author could add a txt-size game summary. Twitter seems to be the most obvious medium? Examples: UW@UND 3-4 OT, shots ~25-29. UND (17-7-1) 3G in 3rd to win after Forbort fighting DQ. GTG Blood 19:51! GWG Parks. Nxt:@UMD Feb10 UND@UMD 5-0, shots 35-18. UND lept on #6 UMD, 3G in 1st, 2G in 2nd. Dell 4th SO of season. Simpson 1G,3A. Nxt:@UMD Feb11 UND@UMD 0-2, shots 30-15. Frustrating game, outplayed UMD but couldn't get one in. Nxt:MTU Feb17 I'm not asking you to scour the box score for crazy stats, just write something on your way out of the game. If you go to the games anyway, and you listen to the radio most of the time, this might be for you. If 2-3 people tag-team this, I don't think you can share a Twitter account, but each of you could have one, and agree beforehand who would cover a given game. Ideally, I'd like just one txt per game. If it's more than 2 or 3 per game, I wouldn't subscribe. If you miss a game here and there, I'd still subscribe--I can't whine about a free service.

I was just perusing the Old Barn page and noticed a USSR flag in the photo. Can anybody come up with an explanation?

Flaming about the Rules Committee aside, let's have some real discussion. Hybrid icing seemed like an interesting idea until I thought about the instance when the offensive player is the "winner" of this race to the dots. In that instance, is there no stoppage? (I'll assume no.) If this were enacted in the NHL, it would only cut in half those end-board crunches. In the NCAA, it would *create* a lot of end-board crunches since we have automatic icing today. Does anybody here have hybrid icing experence to share?

Please tell me that isn't maroon trim on the Kennedy Gold jerseys.

AZSIOUX, the trip definitely takes a turn when you lose Thursday. My most-crushing memory was getting whipped by BC in the first game of the Milwaukee 2006 FF. It took almost two beers at BWW before my group said more than ten words--we were stunned that it was over just like that. Overnight, I thought of another way to organize this. 1-6 vs 17-5 During periods where I have made arrangements to be at the FF, the Sioux NCAA tourney game record is 1-6 (plus the only year where they didn

Y'all should be pleased to know that I'm not going to Detroit, no matter what. I've been to six of the last ten Frozen Fours. (correction: 7 of 11) The Sioux have been to seven of the last twelve. (correction: 7 of 13) All four times that I made arrangements ahead of time, they didn't make it. 1999 L in Regional (Anaheim) 2002 Did not make NCAAs (St. Paul) 2004 L in Regional (Boston) 2009 L Regional (Washington, DC) I have yet to see the Sioux win a FF game. All three times I went at the last minute, they didn't win a game. 2006 L (Milwaukee) 2007 L (St. Louis) 2008 L (Denver) In the other six instances, they made it four times and are 6-2 with two championships in those FF games. 1997 WW (Milwaukee) 1998 L in Regional (Boston)* 2000 WW (Providence) 2001 WL (Albany) 2003 L in Regional (Buffalo) 2005 WL (Columbus) *If you want to stretch the coincidence to include Dave Berger's attendance, you can kick 1998 up into the first category. It's worth noting that I had a chance to go to the 1997 Sioux championship in Milwaukee, but girlfriend drama kept me in Grand Forks.

That part isn't familiar to me--that could have been the pact among some students but my impression was that it happened more than once per game. Starting in 1993, I was a regular at hockey games. I am sure that I didn't hear it in my first season. I would peg it as '95-96 or the magical '96-97 season, which is similar to dmksioux's timeline. It instantly became a student section favorite; I don't think the entire arena responded but scattered people and little kids throughout certainly did. Many friends didn't, but I loved the cheer from the get-go. It was a little quirky, clean, a cheer FOR our team and very original. One difference from today: The "Sioux yeah yeaaah" is the same today as before, but the "Yeah, Sioux Sioux!" used to be three short shouts. I'd say the response evolved around 2000 to today's "Yeah, Sioux Siouuux." Personally, I feel the old way is more ... strong/forceful/manly ... and less awkward. But I can live with it.

That is sweeet, y'all! I can't stop grinning. Please post a photo soon. And maybe some action shots. If I were in the area, I'd offer to show up for a game.
