Rumor on the street is that the new coaching staff "adjusted" his scholarship offer even though he has been committed since September.

O'Donnell, Rocco

Pushed the lead to 10?

Traylor showing some nice flashes. Missed most of the first half, haven't seen much of Nash this half?

Needs to come down some on a lot of those (will get some hit to the head/targeting if he doesn't) and wrap up a little more along with toning down the after the play stuff, but the guy sure makes people think twice about coming across the middle. Would be fun to see him patrolling the secondary.

Like you're doing right now? And the rest of your previous alter-ego's did as well? And if you post your opinion on a board, be prepared for people to not agree with it and why. I gave my reasoning for why I thought his opinion and criticism of College Hockey, Inc was unwarranted. Not sure how that is being passive aggressive.

It may not have been the words you said, but it is a pretty good interpretation of what it sounded like.

What fans left Sioux hockey? The REA continues to be sold out pretty much every night and there is still a waiting list for season tickets. Must be those same people that "quit" donating when the nickname was dropped.

"My favorite arena isn't on a purely subjective list, therefore the list is garbage. Who cares if it promotes something positive about college hockey and its fans, everyone should agree with me and my point of view." Did I get that right? Or should have put one of the smileys in there to make it more authentic?

Be a good question for the people that put the list together. It was promoted at CollegeHockeyInc.com not UNDSports.com. Whether you personally agree with the list or not (and I think it definitely has faults), someone thinks that two of the top three stadium experiences in the US in 2013 were college hockey rinks. Seems like something that shines a positive light on the sport as a whole and I don't blame them for sharing it.

It was 16th place overall to watch a game, they just pointed out it also happened to host a hockey. I believe its ranking comes from the actual baseball part of it. List is quite random. The REA comes in 6th overall in college hockey arenas but doesn't crack the top 100. College Hockey, Inc didn't put it together, stadiumjourney.com did, as it says in the second sentence of the article:

4 guaranteed home games and 4 guaranteed away games from conference scheduling. Current breakdown: 2014: 6H and 6A 2015: 5H and 5A (one more to schedule) 2016: 5H and 6A 2017: 4H and 6A (one more to schedule) 2018: 5H and 5A (one more to schedule) 2017 will obviously be a home game and then it is just a matter of filling the rest in with home/home (such as Missouri State in 2014/2018, Stony Brook in 2014/2016 and USD 2016/2017) or one time games (such as Robert Morris in 2014, Drake in 2015). 2014 is the last 12 game year until 2019.

Some pictures of what it looks like when set up. Link. And exactly what choyt3 said, they had a 4 day period right now to be able to put the ice in and let it set, it was their best opportunity over the next couple months to get it in properly before the tournament.

The spring prospectus is going to be an interesting read this year.

Lots of playing time available in the secondary for those that want to earn it. Glad to have another good sized defensive back on the team!

Any word on whether Tim Gordon has or will be visiting?

Sounds like they have an indepth knowledge of Big Sky basketball. How about one from people who have seen all the teams play? Big Sky Preseason Polls I'm not arguing UND isn't underperforming. They have half the season to get it together and make the conference tournament and make some noise there. They were never going to get an at large bid, so they are basically 2-3 at this point in what matters.

Can anyone confirm that he did or didn't receive anything from UND? Is it possible they offered him a PWO and he decided to take what SWMU offered instead?

UND was 3rd in the media poll and 2 in the coaches poll (just 2 points ahead of Montana), so not sure where you are getting they were ever favored to win the conference? Of those 8 road losses, 5 or 6 of them would have been a surprising win, not even taking into account this teams road struggles. They took 3rd in the conference last year and were this close to making the finals, they outperformed what everyone thought they would do, now this year they are underperforming. UND was 12-8 in the Big Sky last year. Math seems to check out to a winning season to me?

I agree with a lot of this. The talent isn't doing the fundamental stuff and the bench players are. Jones has had a quick hook with multiple starters when they make bad plays, he even started the second unit at Wisconsin. The starters keep getting chances because Jones also realizes our second unit isn't going to win the games on their own. You would think at some point it would click and I'm at a loss on why it hasn't. They show flashes and then revert. Our posts are injured, inefficient or both. Jones continues to bring in good recruits. He needs to show that he can turn them into a good team.

Disappointing and underperforming thus far in the year? Without a doubt and an understatement. Fire Jones? Get real. After hearing him talk at the booster luncheon last week, he's well aware of the team's shortcomings and the team is too. Guys are having to change their role and it isn't going very smoothly. The injuries they've dealt with over the last couple years have been pretty ridiculous. If anyone doesn't think that this team would be completely different with Brekke in the line-up, you didn't pay much attention to what he brought to the table. I expect this team to play decent basketball the rest of the season and make the Big Sky tourney. What happens after that is on the players who put 4+ years in to getting themselves into that position. Jones' teams have historically played their best basketball at the end of the year, lets hope it continues.

Yikes, kid hasn't even stepped foot on campus and he is already going to set records in D-II? Haven't seen much of him other than a few highlights, but I think the hyperbole is running a little high.

Just flipped the game on. UM up 12-7 with 12:40 to play in the first.

I don't think the play calling helped Mollberg's development or let him showcase his strengths, needed to let him roll out more and use his legs. Hopefully Rudolph adapts his game plan better than what we saw last year, regardless of who the QB is.

They definitely are the two that have the least outside experience. Not surprised they kept one or two from the old staff around, just to keep a little continuation with the players. I would guess they are also further down on the pay scale as well, not going to attract as high of profile guys there either. Overall, I can say I am more than pleasantly surprised with the staff that Bubba put together.
