One has flavor and the other is watered down watered down beer.

That's just a 'rough weekend" for gfhockey.

Not to go into too much backstory here, but I am pretty sure the Bison staff has done a good job of looking after this kid and doing what is best for him and in the end will do what is best for their program and Mr. Dupree. I don't think we need to create issues where there are none......NDSU does a fine job of creating legitimate issues on their own.

I have been there a few times. Pretty good time! The Kolpack Christmas part was always fun too.

I am pretty sure he had a baby before he even arrived on campus. He probably misses his kid and girlfriend if they are back in New Town. We don't know the family circumstances and maybe it isn't possible for her and the child to live in Grand Forks from a financial standpoint. Tough decisions for a young kid to make. Wish him the best.

Hey everybody. Can we please turn our attention back to President Kelley and UND's nickname story please. That would be great. Sincerely, Dean Bresciani

You can do what you want. I will always pull for a ND kid. I don't root against athletes and while I don't care about guys who played at NDSU who are in the NFL now who aren't from the area I would like to see Carson do well since he is a Bismarck kid and I also want to see Connor McGovern from Fargo do well too. I do take pride in kids from other areas who excel at UND and go onto have pro careers whether it is in hockey, basketball or football. As I have always said with regards to the Bison.....it is their few rotten thousands of fans who ruin it for the other 20.

Most Bison fans I know were very deferential to Jimmy K and said he was the best college football player they had seen. For me I never root against athletes unless they are classless and I will most certainly be a fan of a ND kid no matter where he played college ball.

Yep. Most years you are lucky if you have 2 starting qb's in the draft who can step in year one and start......and those are usually bad teams who have time to let a qb develop.

True, but the same experts back in November said that if you are looking for a starting qb in this draft you are out of luck. QB is the main focus of every team and those who cover football and Carson has elevated himself to the top of this draft class. Best scenario for him is to go to a team with a starting QB at the end of his career(Dallas) and he can step in when ready.

Bison 73, while I appreciate the "Josh Earnest" type effort by you on this, you have to admit that this ^^^^^ looks and sounds shady, it might even be Chapman level shady.

If I am honest. St. Cloud is the best team I have seen this year.

I don't disagree. Maybe put a 50/50 policy in place for upgrades or some other policy. As far as our legislators...I used to always side with higher ed when it came to battles with the legislature. I worked a legislative session when I was fresh out of college and saw the western legislators in action.(didn't matter if they were republican or democrat....they were socialists on some issues and far right on others). But I will say the arrogance and disregard for budgets by those in higher ed over the last 10-12 years has at least made me give pause when looking at these issues.

I just feel sorry for all the rest of the people on the plane who had to fly coach....but I am guessing most of them were vacationing and not traveling for business. I honestly don't think it is a big deal if he had cleared things first or reimbursed the difference or some of the difference.(our state officials are allowed to spend some of their salaries....not everything is an expense). The biggest issue with Bresciani is that he is completely tone deaf and aloof to the world and environment around him.

It was a joke.

Must be a mirror image

I like the way this team is playing right now. I have not wavered from what I said prior to the season. I do not care where the media picked us and I do not care where the coaches picked us. Anything less than top 4 in regular season and/or Big Sky tournament and it is time to make a change. It's his program to own and he has had 10 years to build it so I don't care for excuses regarding youth and inexperience because that is part of the job requirement and recruiting philosophy. I hope we continue playing well and get an NCAA berth by winning the Big sky tourney this year or making a serious run at it as I am pretty sure there are quite a few coaches who would like to take over this team next year assuming no one leaves if we did make a coaching move.

He is the master of saying he is going to attack an issue, then creates a straw man argument similar to the issue but not necessarily the same and then trashing the issue he created himself.

Correct. Having University leaders who are out of touch with the real world and the concept that things cost money, who ignore budgets, who make choices that aren't theirs to make doesn't help. I have always been pro higher ed but the arrogance and lack of accountability over the years from the University system has worn me down a bit.

I think St. Cloud is the team to beat this year in the NCHC. Especially as we move into the grind of the late season and playoffs. They are far better than UND in the faceoff circle which gives them an advantage in that we both like to possess the puck. As the season goes on 5 on 5 goals get tougher and tougher to come by. I feel our power play is starting to click but theirs is lights out. Our penalty kill is quite a bit better than theirs percentage wise but they take far less penalties than we do.
