These football only fans are salty, gotta love someone ripping on the most successful program at their own university.

I got a picture with the bird, we're besties now.

Agreed on all points, I was just refuting the thought that the new scoreboard might be some out of place monstrosity that detracts from the gameday experience. I can't imagine that happening on Jody's watch.

Instant replays will be more clear, crowd pump ups will be more engaging, it will improve the atmosphere for sure. I have no doubt it will be tastefully done while also being a huge upgrade for the arena. One needs to look no further than Jody Hodgson's sparkling resume of managing and upgrading REA to keep it as pristine as the day it was opened.

Definitely, can't tell you how many time I'm in a conversation with someone and I look up and the puck has dropped. Immediately panic and say "well great talking to you...<mumble a joke about hockey being more important than the current conversation and walk away>"

Some pretty cool updates to The Ralph and Betty here...just a few that stuck out to me: Hugo's Wine and Spirits Lounge: The new "Hugo's Wine & Spirits Lounge" behind Section 112 will offer specialty cocktails and mixed drinks on the Main Concourse for the first time. This is a new beverage option for those who seek a cocktail or a mixed drink on the Main Concourse. Patrons must be 21 or older to enter the Hugo's Wine & Spirits Lounge. Game Presentation Features: Enhancements have been made for player introductions and pregame activities, including a new intelligent lighting system that has the ability to strobe and produce color washes. A new system has also been mounted on the glass in each corner of the rink that will shoot CO2 jets 20 feet high whenever UND scores a goal. The Touch Tunes music system, along with new exterior speakers above the student lineup area, will be available on game day to students waiting in line to get into the arena. This service will also be available exclusively for students during the first 30 minutes that they are in the building. The UND students will be able to control the music played externally during the day, and internally during the first 30 minutes that the doors are open via the Touch Tunes system. A new 3-minute warning will be used when there is three minutes remaining in the intermission to let people know that the game is about to resume and encourage them to return to their seats.

Wife is a realtor in GF and said that Sakura is for sale for $2.45MM. Really a shame because that is my favorite sushi restaurant in town.

If he disappears from the scoresheet people will call him Casper.

Nothing about the ironman but here's an update on the freshmen

Why?

I look forward to Coach Berry's response when you pose that question to him in a Wednesday presser...

The coaches can only spend limited time with them before October 6th. I don't recall there being much info coming out before this time in previous years?

Yeah basketball got royally screwed with the Betty. They should boycott and go back to the Hyslop!

"HEEEEEEEEERE COME YOUR UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA INDIFFERENT HAWKS!!!!" What a missed opportunity smh

I'm more concerned about their accomplishments in their current job, sort of old fashioned that way.

My mistake, thought we were talking about qualifications of our head coaches since that's their current job.

What am I missing? When did any of the others lead their team to a national championship as a head coach?

Don't shoot the messenger

He didn't mince words. That was what he believed. Some other things were that he didn't realize how good '15-16 team was until after the fact since he had no other team to compare it to. '16-17 was a big step back in talent level. '17-18 team was a really good step forward from previous year(surprising to hear since they missed NCAAs). Then said he thinks this team is set up to be closer to '15-16 level but qualified it saying he can't 100% they will be as good because that team was special. Then he said "...of course if we lose to Bemidji no one cares about that, people want to see results"

Never look a gift horse in the mouth

Heard Matt Shaw speak recently and he said "this defensive group is the best we've had since I've come here" FYI he started in the 2015-2016 season...
