Might be a little bump if it goes back to the X, I just assume the NCHC is going to stick with the Target Center bc of all the updates they're doing and cheaper rent.

Really good point here, I think it's almost a forgone conclusion that this will be the worst attended Frozen Faceoff to date.

Completely agree

And there is the flaw in your argument

Yeah... considering there were just a total of 0 bids off campus in the next 2 years I don't think the NCAA is going to start putting up more roadblocks to schools submitting bids.

What exactly do we pay you for?

I can already imagine the electric atmosphere in there for a regional, that looks like a really nice arena. It would be pretty great having the regionals in Sioux Falls followed by the Frozen Four in St Paul! #Driveto9 literally

You may need to throw in your first born to boot for nosebleeds. Best of luck!

You're going to have a really tough time trading tickets for the most in demand ticket in the last 5 years(possibly more) in the Ralph for a series in Duluth. You could walk up to the box office in Duluth last year and buy tickets to the UND series last year too. If I had to make a guess, I'd say upper bowl UND v UM tickets will be going for $100/person minimum. Just my two cents.

Gonna be insane at The Ralph

That's a really neat looking arena

Yup, Jost would've probably got the C(or at least an A) and he'd be guaranteed to leave after 2 years

Some people are able to alternate between the two, especially when the windshield will be pretty damn boring for the next 6 months

I pass the blame to Stoney, I was going off his 8-2 prediction

I think he was actually hurting recruiting at this point because no one knew how long they'd be playing for him and who would be replacing him. It'll be good(for Michigan at least) to get the new face of the program in place.

I think the more impressive feat is WWPKD2 only getting 1 game in the whole tournament correct!

Anything less than 10-0 is unexpectable! (Copyright @Goon 2016)

Duluth fans getting bent out of shape? What a surprise...

He talks about enrollment not growing as if those numbers are in a vacuum and the only variable affecting them is how many people the sports team attracts. It's much too simplistic as there are numerous variables economically, geographically, etc. that play into how many students enroll at a University each year. It's a lazy argument to say 'Enrollment went up 25 students after championships so sports teams didn't attract anyone DERP' Also, he completely leaves out the indirect contributions from alumni and fans that aren't accounted for that would show sports like UND hockey as making money. Those contributions go away without the passionate ties that collegiate athletics provide.

I would guess it is effective as of fiscal year end for UND. Not sure if it's the case for UND, but for many colleges that means June 30th.

IMO this is the biggest obstacle between DU and a title... they're that good
