riveting analysis!

cover and the over!

C'mon, be fair to the bison fans. they are not all bad people.....it's the few rotten thousands that spoil if for the other 10

Kind of hard to break that down since guys play against other teams top lines and obviously play different amount of minutes. also when you have outscored teams 40-21 5 on 5 this year there really isn't much wrong when we are 5 on 5. Our D-men +/- are currently... Tucker P. +9 Christian W. +7 Hayden S. +6 Gage A. +6 Casey J. +3 Andrew P. +1 Colton P. -1 We only have 3 forwards with negative numbers Trevor O. -5 Johnny S. -1 Mike G. -1 Special teams are obviously where we are having issues currently. We have 14 power play goals but have given up 4 shortys and we have given up 16 on the power play and have 1 shorty

That's what she can tell everyone on her prison block.

that's not how this works

True. If that game was on a neutral field or if McKinnon could have actually thrown a football the Bison run would have been delayed.

Sorry, I was responding to your initial post.

Well, UND covered. I don't think refs are fixing games, no.

The Bison player was exactly 3 yards down the field and the jacks player was about 5 yards down the field. NDSU went on to score a couple plays later...SDSU drive stalled. Winners win.

I had us at 12-6 at the break when I looked at the schedule. 5-0 start, 4-4 in next 8. 2-1 in next 3. 12-5 in second half is what I had projected....still think this a obtainable so that would have us at 21-11-3 to finish regular season.

and on a subconscious level they tend to favor the team who plays in the conference they work for in a non conference game. Gotta protect the RPI and deal with the coaches on a continuing basis. Many of these officials represent more than 1 conference and are usually part of a group of geographically related conferences. For example The Valley will join Conference USA, the Big 12, Ohio Valley and Southland conferences in the Men’s Basketball Officiating Consortium beginning with the 2016-17 season. ....no big deal if they piss off a Big Sky coach. and likewise The Pac-12, Mountain West, Big West, West Coast and Western Athletic Conferences are further expanding their men’s basketball officiating consortium to include the Big Sky Conference for the 2016-17 season.

Who said anything about fixed games?

I think we will find carries for him, whether that means we use Santiago more in the slot and on jet sweeps and getting him the ball in space instead of running him between the tackles or if we use JJ like NDSU uses Morlock

If you go into a non conference game against a higher ranked or more "esteemed" conference and expect to get a fair shake then you haven't been paying attention. Been several examples this year of games being called in a one sided manner to favor the "known" team or conference....did nobody see the FGCU vs. Michigan St. reffing debacle?

Thanks for the insight. I like what Murray has done at Western Michigan and believe he played a style of hockey with the hand he had when he got there and has now built his program to play the style he prefers. Great coach! Had a great time at the St. Paul regional a few years back. Had a beer or six with Brian Tulik, Bob D'Amelio, and the other guys name escapes me. I have to make a trip to Kalamazoo for a series sometime and of course Bell's Brewery! It seemed like WMU was a home for quite a few Fargo Force players so it was fun to keep track of how they developed(Fleming, Goff, Dienes, Hargrove(one of my favorite Force players)). Obviously kept on eye on Cichy after he left UND. Has McKee been injured this year or just not playing? I know if a skirmish breaks out and he is on the ice the best advice would be to stay as far away from him as possible. Now sit down over there while everyone here dazzles you with their obviously superior hockey minds and questions or belittles everything you write. unbelievable.

most people don't count the 2 numbers after the period.

When I saw the title I was a little worried that it would be nsfw. Sounds like a compilation title from a porno company.

Probably not a good reason but I started school at UND in 1984 and will probably also refer to UND as the Sioux or North Dakota. Sorry, not sorry. It certainly didn't help when they ignored the vast majority of alum and stakeholders and rammed a crappy, generic name that had 8% support down everyones throat and then as if to double down picked out an insanely horrible logo. The only version of the new nickname that I have a small amount of affinity for is The F'N Hawks.

Settle down super fan

It is hard to explain to the simple the difference between a "fan" and an alum the realities of the name situation.

I like the direction Bubba has the program moving. Continue to bring in talent for competition at positions and to build depth.....is the player currently in the starting position a strength, neutral, or a weakness? This evaluation needs to extend to our coaching staff as well. As we continue to build our program and move to where we want to be, are the coaches we have a good fit? Are they still learning or are they maxed out and maybe overmatched in their abilities? Tough decisions for a head coach to make as the staff seems close and friendships are built but at the same time we might have a couple areas that are currently holding us back or will in the future.

nailed it

I think Paul Ralston can probably sum up best what happened out there today.

ha. no. thanks for clarifying. Still not happy about our game time but admit it's not Faison's fault......this time
