I can’t stand UNO fans because all they do is complain about UND’s team, UND fans, and the fact that they get to live in Nebraska instead of Grand Forks. They also have blocked me on Twitter despite me not following anyone connected to UNO

Well technically Cornell didn’t back out, it was just rescheduled for next season. But otherwise yes, you are correct. It was just an agreement for 2 games last year but so far no additional games against Lindenwood are announced.

We don’t have any games with Lindenwood lined up right now so it’s not really possible to replace them.

To be fair, most people missed on UND last year. I think we were pre-ranked nationally in the top 5. Duluth was pre-ranked really high too so people missed on them too.

Did you see the Western Michigan player who did the Twitter/X takeover at media day yesterday? He was asked about the preseason poll and he said he was “kinda pissed off about it.” UNO and Western Michigan just seem to need some validation for whatever reason.

Not sure when the podcast was recorded and when UND updated bio’s, but Zmolek’s bio on the UND website literally says he missed all last season due to injury. I’m not sure how they don’t know this. It is well documented - I even knew prior to his transfer.

I don’t care if opposing fans want to talk crap about UND, but it’d be great if they weren’t clueless while doing it.

I panicked about this for like a day and then when I really thought about it more I decided it was the best thing that could’ve happened to this team.

I mean it is their entire personality outside of complaining about UND even when it has nothing to do with UND. A couple weeks ago they were complaining about UND while discussing a Huskers volleyball game.

Lol that was my first thought. But he did post his ballot. I believe he had UMD at 3 and UND at 5. Another Duluth media guy, Matt Wellens, had UND at 2 and UMD at 5. So more evidence of mixed opinions on teams in this league lol.

Yeah I think opinions on UND are pretty mixed. But I’d say the same for most teams in our league considering the top 5 teams in the poll all had at least one first place vote.

I am guessing we were voted that high because our group of forwards in comparison to those ranked behind us, were just significantly better on paper than other forward groups, to the point that it outweighed the lack of returners on D. (Like Western lost their entire top line, SCSU lost some producers up front also.)

They had to stop doing that due to them currently having a 25 year old Canadian goalie.

He’s playing at Shattuck I believe. Some were saying Green Bay in the USHL but I think that’s after he’s done at Shattuck.

I think both his parents are alums? For sure Dad. His sister is also currently a student at UND. Definitely grew up a UND fan.

I don’t think so. He’s been tweeting about coming up for the series for a while. I think he’s genuinely excited about it.

If that came from Ryan Kennedy I feel like it’s gotta be a big one.

I really do not think Potter is going to go to the Gophs. It was said weeks ago on Puck Preps that he was basically a BU lock. Obviously that could have changed. It seems like UND got involved after some of these other schools so maybe there’s something to that.

I think it’ll be good to have Dillon around, particularly this season with 4 freshmen defensemen considering he was captain of a UND team that went to the Frozen Four with 4 freshmen defensemen.

Those same Gopher fans didn’t notice when he unfollowed Gopher Hockey on Instagram a couple days later though

No insight but I’m pretty sure it couldn’t have actually been from a school. Pretty sure Schlossman just said on a recent podcast that schools can’t promise NIL deals/money. That’d be a violation. So unless I heard that wrong or misunderstood it? I was guessing it is probably a company/brand who is connected to a school. Like an alum or something. If I had to bet I’d say BU.

Yeah I looked at their incoming class. Solid players but to me I’m not sure they move the needle enough. Have to see how they look when the season starts. I still think for CC to become a contender another team has to take a step back and I’m not sure who that would be.

I went to SCSU for a year and a half. (And I tried to leave sooner) It’s absolutely terrible. I told everyone from my hometown not to go there and none of them listened and then they all transferred to other schools too. Though this is just a non-athlete experience.

I don’t know about NCHC team but I think the Bruins drafted a Pelosi this summer.

I think you mean no returning players on defense.
