  1. I think NDSU buys the airtime and sells the ads themselves. So I am pretty sure in looking at how KVLY has operated the last 2-3 years that for them it was a bottom line decision. How much does NDSU pay them for the airtime vs. their ad revenue during the hockey game + their NBC "fine" for not broadcasting the game + the amount of people they piss off and any blowback from that....I would assume that what NDSU decided to pay for the airtime was worth it for them unless they are complete idiots at KVLY which I wouldn't rule out.....but hey, if you want to watch something on NBC where you gonna go? On another note, it is amazing how KVLY has gone in the crapper locally with all the ownership and management changes the last couple years.
  2. It also reads like a dumb question.
  3. Well as someone whose original plan was to watch the Blackhawks and Penguins outdoor game on TV with the UND and St. Cloud game on my laptop I would have been a little upset that KVLY chose to put on a toilet summit league game instead but I would have gotten over it and just hooked my laptop up to my tv instead....as it turns out we made mid afternoon decision to go to St. Cloud for the game instead.
  4. Ha. They may very well get 3 but the chances of them getting 2 are way higher than the chances of them getting 4.
  5. Roll Terd.
  6. Sky-U-Mah huh? Huge gopher fan then?
  7. The Grand Forks Bantam teams are dominant. One of them is 20-1 with a goal differential of 143-27 and the other is 18-0 with a differential of 174-27....Bismarck has a team at 16-8 and Fargo has a team at 15-8 and the parochial program at 14-5 followed by Minot and then the other Fargo 'public" team. The next level is a little more balanced with it being Grand Forks-1, Fargo-2, Grand Forks-3, Bismarck-4, and Fargo-5. If anything THA could drive a bigger gap between the ND teams with the edge to Grand Forks.
  8. I have never sat in a seat at St. Cloud and have been to 17-18 games there over the last few years. Always have stood on the glass or against the wall or way up top even when I had a ticket for an assigned seat.
  9. Actually they have gone out of their way to set up these very matchups....what they don't want is 2005 again.
  10. they sold their soul in 92
  11. it is amazing to me how time and time again this team with the experience they have can come out to start a game looking like my softball team does on a Sunday morning 8 am game in Detroit Lakes or at Red Willow. I can see having a clunker here or there or coming out flat a couple times but every other game is ridiculous.
  12. Doubt it. They are in the same boat as most college kids when they get a year or 2 out of college....Sooner or later you want/have to get paid as the Obama plan ain't for everyone. http://olympictalk.n...s-out-a-winner/ link is to article about argueably the best women's hockey player in the World and inarguably the best womens goaltender in the world and the lack of opportunity to make money playing hockey and unless the NHL is going to prop up a womens league like the NBA does it probably won't happen anytime soon....no chance a women's pro league has a shot to make enough money for players to make a living.
  13. Yeah they had beat Minot 10-2 and 10-4 that year.
  14. I certainly don't like our substitution patterns either but in fairness to Jones on this one....Nash had a great first half scoring a foot from the rim and when he put him out there in the 2nd half he seemed to be pretty disinterested in or allergic to the paint for some reason....he isn't much of an asset 22 feet from the rim.
  15. Ugh. That was the 2nd time that Bismarck had hands down the best team in the state and didn't get it done. I think they dominated Red River the whole game and outshot them by about 20 which was amazing as Bismarck was short handed for a huge portion of the game.
  16. GM1 12:00 pm #1W-Bismarck High vs #4E-Fargo South/Shanley GM2 30 Min After #2E-West Fargo vs #3W-Bismarck Century GM3 6:00 pm #1E-G.F. Central vs #4W-Mandan GM4 30 Min After #2W-Minot vs #3E-G.F. Red River I like the Demons and Patriots to meet in one semi and Central and Red River in the other. I think the Demons beat Century by a goal 4-3 and Central takes out Red River 5-2. I like the Demons to exorcise the Ghost of Tom Philion and win the state title over Central 3-2 in overtime.
  17. Wait! What? Now I am confused.....would this make you Sam or Cousin Oliver?
  18. Sadly. It is exactly as has been reported as far as the incident that led to his dismissal(now as far as motivations behind what this parent did could be another story). Stay tuned if this parent tries to angle for an "assistant" coaching job in the program. This was to be Coach Swanson's final season as he was stepping down after this season to spend his time watching his kids activities as they are getting to that age. The bad thing that no one is really talking about is the rift this is causing/will cause within the team.
  19. Jesus. I don't even......nevermind
  20. If I had more than second hand info I would share.....but at this point, even though I am about 99% sure it is correct I am going to hold off with that info....although I am sure it will come out eventually....At the same time if the Administration at Shanley had any stones what so ever they would have told him to set up a meeting with his kid and the coach, so they deserve the negative publicity and blowback they are currently receiving.
  21. The pussification of America continues. Joel is going to be on WDAY radio this afternoon and judging by the comments and support he is getting on his Facebook page and other people commenting about the story on their own FB pages I would say Shanley is going to get run through the ringer on this and rightfully so. The intersting thing will be the backlash this parent may feel in regards to his business dealings and interactions. I don't know him that well but know who he is, but I know quite a few people who run in his circle who may not be aware at this point that he is the one behind this mess as many of these same people also know Joel and have made some pretty disparaging comments regarding how this even happened in the first place and towards the person who put this in motion and at this point I don't think many know who caused this to happen.
  22. Correct. I went over to SW Arena in Fargo last night to watch my buddies kid play and they had a table set up taking gate depending on which game you were going to watch. The other rink there had a girls high school game and they were charging $5 and I thought to myself ---I wouldn't pay $1 to watch the 2 best womens college teams in the country play but someone has to pay $5 to watch there kid play girls high school hockey.
  23. 1985-86 Philadelphia Flyers NHL 29 1 2 1436 88 0 2 3.68 15 9 1 668 0.884 - - - Not sure why hockeydb didn't drop his cumulative stats down like they usually do? I am a Flyers fan so that is how I was pretty positive that Jensen had some NHL experience. Unforutnately his being called into action that year was due to the untimely traffic accident of Pelle Lindbergh.
