The regular season champion of the BSC didn't choke so they had to settle for the NCAA tourney.

That would make sense. His twitter account is all positive NDSU, too. Very few jabs if any. Funny.

Ever since he moved to 970 I have not heard him criticize NDSU one time and I listen 3-4 times per week. Very strange how his tone has changed. He used to mock their fans when at 790 and try to get them riled up but now its all positive or nothing at all.

The above was stated earlier. Meaning they play many more games and have many more practices than basketball does. Meaning cost is elevated. Hockey involves more practices, camps, and tournaments than other sports and they space them out damn near year round now. That is undeniable.

Do they play legion still?

AAU Basketball is when they get much older around here, 8th grade, maybe, if you want to and are good enough. Add up the costs of playing the sports from the age of 6-7 on. Basketball is not expensive until almost high school, if the kid even makes it there. Hockey gets real at mite age and the kid might not make it to Bantams. As far as time involved, there is no comparison between sports. Hockey slowly takes over every month and squeezes out other sports, making it more expensive. Factor in all the gas driving to and from practices each week at $2 a gallon. How many hockey players play baseball in the summer?

Participating in sports, not sport. That was my point, not the money part. Comparing the cost of hockey to basketball is at best egregious.

That is part of what he is talking about. Chosen SPORT. Not SPORTS.

Wasn't the Summit ranked ahead of the MWC in the gold standard of collegiate ranking systems, the almighty RPI? How could this happen to IPFW tonight, I am mystified. #butrpi?

Later.

Just so you know, 7 years ago they almost beat Baylor in Women's Basketball. Suck on that.

Anything else?

The 2015-2016 UND hockey team is the exact same is little Billy running around in his Sioux jersey. Thanks for that.

The cheer has happened at basketball games, FWIW.

None of them wore the jersey or played under the name but call themselves Sioux. That is weak. I get it they are "honoring history" or whatever. But it's time to eventually realize the situation and they weren't part of it.

You mean to tell me that you haven't heard anyone yell "Go Hawks" in the past 3 months since it was selected? I am F'n stunned. Absolutely bewildered.

I know. It was awesome.

He isn't wrong. Yelling 'Go Sioux" at a game is becoming more douche' by the week, and is usually followed by an awkward look, wondering if people think you are cool for doing it.

Been reading that they might get an NIT tourney game. That would be cool.

Wouldn't actually winning the game be the only way Jones could win the situation??

If they beat Irvine that will be a good win. Not sure about Irvine's "care-level" coming in but they are a pretty good team.

Seeing Mamadou in person is worth the price of admission.

30k. Minimum.

There or here?
