    Same.  Also, college just isn't for everyone. 

    When I was at UND, I worked in small groups with many of the hockey players and nearly all were above average students, imo.  There was only one that I remember who didn't really do anything and he ended up transferring to ASU and he sat a year... guessing he may have transferred due to grades (I think he also left ASU early by signing an ECHL deal).  Another finished his part of our group project while on the road playing in the AHL playoffs!  Can't say for certain I would have done that.. A lot of these guys don't get the credit they deserve when it comes to academics, imo. 

    I remember people used to say "dumb Canadians" back in the day. In talking with a few guys over the years from U.S. and Canada the thing I heard most was that Canadian High School was quite a bit harder than most American High Schools and the Canadians usually had an easier time adjusting to college coursework.

    As much as I would love to argue with you about the word often or common, I’m going to pass. One last time, top tier NAIA programs can compete and often beat bad D1s. UND women found that out last weekend 

    Florida Memorial University who is a pretty good NAIA school lost in overtime at Florida Gulf Coast University tonight on the Men's side. 

    FGCU is missing a couple guys but they were picked to finish  towards the top of the Atlantic Sun Conference

    1. Tyree

    5. TT

    Subs

    1. Mathews
    2. Brooks 
    3. King
    4. Deng if there is foul trouble/need a spark off the bench.

    As for minutes, play Tyree, Omot, and Treysen as many minutes as possible. When it comes to conference play, it is super important to have your best players on the floor as much as possible. Those 3 are our best. Get them breaks when you can, but they need to be on the floor. Just my opinion

    This^

    And need to figure out rotation so that at least two are on the court at all times.

    I'm always hesitant about a guy that didn't have the right stuff to make it a service academy.

    He was only there for a year. About 20% of students at the Academies drop out in the first two years. Maybe he decided it wasn't what he wanted to do. They give you two years to drop with no financial penalty. If you commit to your 3rd year, you are committing to your 3rd and 4th year plus 4 years in the Air Force. You might have an area of service you would like to pursue and in the first two years they let you know that is not the track they have in mind for you. It is no small feat to even get accepted to one of the service academies.

    tell him.....we're all talk about using the TE........for teh last 10 years.

    He should be used to it. Air Force has thrown a total of 100 passes this season with 52 completions. 7 completions to tight ends.

    When Hal is there he is great about greeting guests and making sure they have a good time. Hash browns are a must. Salmon always good but hard not to order a steak. 

    Hal has always been great at that. Worked a couple years at Happy Harry's in my college years. Took away a lot of lessons that I might not have realized I was getting at the time,  that I carried into my life and sales career.

    Even back before the super stores, Happy Harry's wasn't your typical liquor store. Was able to cater to a different audience. Just brilliant marketing..."Open until 10 p.m. for your convenience!" which meant we closed a couple hours before everyone else.

    Should happen...but it won't.

    Funny thing is, Saul Phillips would probably love to schedule any of the Dakota teams to play Northern but he is the one who ended the Bison-Dragon games after a double overtime loss in the 2011-12 season and an overtime win with plenty of help from the men who wear stripes in 2012-13. Saul went into the A.D.'s office and said "no mas"

    Bohl for sure stuck around. I think Klieman did too.

    Brian Kelly was eating dinner on a recruiting visit, stepped out to take a call, came back and kept eating.....then an hour later it broke he took the LSU job..per the kid's dad.

    They both stuck around. When Bohl left it got a little weird at practice as far as communications and recruiting went since they had named Klieman the next coach. So you had two camps of Coaches. Bohl and those going with him and Klieman and those that were staying with him....but they managed.

    has anyone explained what connection(s) he has to anyone at usc........still wondering how he got this job

    Dom and Kolpack speculated that Riley and Klieman are tight and Riley probably asked about him. Whatever people think of Entz he is/was regarded as a pretty elite defensive coach.

    We’re again reduced to cheering against the Bison in order to salvage our own season.  And yet, the loudest voices will scream that NDSU is a failure if for losing the semifinal or national title game and proclaim UND as the true “state champion.”  Regardless of what happens next in the playoffs, it’s now impossible to argue that UND will have had a more successful season than NDSU.  

    Well, when arguing you have to use what little ammo you have. ???

     

    I usually hit them with "well of course I respect NDSU football. You Have to respect a team that has managed to beat you 43% of the time we have played"

    Leads to looks of confusion and silence...at least briefly.

    If Blake leaves after this season, he'll be an ECHL lifer at best.

    I don't agree. he would be given a few years in the AHL. If he wasn't able to cut it in AHL his best move at that point would to be go overseas. Not alot of room in the ECHL for finesse.

     

    That said, I think he has elite skill and will figure it out.
