UND1983

Because if somebody said that it wouldn't be true. The uptick in fans is all paying general crowd. The students have the same pattern/numbers every year.

When was WH attendance better than WBB...for a couple years of the transition?

To sum up Brad's interview on KFAN: 8 Olympians, Top 10 program (out of 37), once came really close to a Frozen Four. Rinse, repeat.

For some it does. Sadly.

Does anybody else get the feeling that the Women's Hockey players think they're way more important than they are? Their responses on twitter are embarrassing. Like UND owed them something. News flash: they cut two other programs, also. Two programs that were a hell of a lot better than your's.

Nobody cared about Women's Hockey in a hockey town 15 years later. Nothing was going to change.

That's a 2 million dollar championship that they might win every 10 years. So 20 million dollars for one championship with a chance for maybe 100K in revenue. Maybe. What is the budget for those D2 schools?

Faison just stated this: UND Women's Hockey budget was 2 million dollars.

Jocelyn just stated on KFGO that North Dakota should use the rainy day fund to save women's hockey. The stuff coming out of her mouth is so delusional.

You serious? So tell your conference last. Gotcha. I am willing to bet they began conversations weeks ago with the WCHA to let them know this is a possibility.

A one-program hockey school.

Brad has still not addressed why they were cut and why it makes sense for UND. He only keeps re-tweeting current players reactions and obviously taking the side of the Women's team.

Where is the petition link?

I enjoy how a few hockey crusaders on Twitter are wondering why the state of ND didn't tap into the Rainy Day fund to save WH. You cannot make this stuff up.

LOL

Anyone else find it weird how quiet the REA is about this? Maybe I missed it but haven't heard anything on their end. So much for the "Women's hockey was wanted by Ralph and isn't going anywhere" argument.

It did look good on their uni's.

Whoa whoa whoa. The Women claimed that they gotten NOTHING in those other 3.5 years. This says they got a training stipend the entire time. With the veterans, the Lammys, getting $2000/month. Were they purposely lying this entire time about what they really received?

You're probably right.

Geno will immediately be the best point guard in the league that year, also. Just to clarify.

I'll bite. What is going down in this town right now?

Did it work...you get tickets?

Looks like the Fighting Hawks logo will be on the ice at Scheels Arena.

Lol. Wow

An educated guess: most NDSU fans didn't see UND play this year. Some saw them play in Fargo once. Probably same ones watched the game at UND. But they still told everyone (prior to NCAA Tourney) how UND sucked, from a bad conference, will not win a game in the Summit, and so forth.
