UND1983

Realize we are drifting pretty far now but why did Dean leave for the high school gig at Roseau?

I was young then but I do remember my parents saying how Blais was a major reason why they were so good in the 80's, like he was the recruiting ace on the staff.

After the move was made and Blais brought two NC's, a faction of the hockey fan base somehow still never warmed up to the AD who made the move.

Hockey is not my #1 sport so I have a different view than most on here. I find it somewhat amusing how much complacency has set in with this supposed "die-hard" fanbase. There are more excuses for lack of success in hockey than any other sport.

Lose in Regional. Yet another Top 8 finish. Exhilarating.

I understand the "making the tournament" argument because it means UND has a chance ever year. However, at what point does simply making the Top 8 or Top 4 become not enough for a program that is Top 3 in "advantages" (facilities, support, history). Honestly, who has more built-in advantages than UND? Minnesota, BC, Michigan? What I have seen is Hakstol is only as good as his recruiting. When he has Toews, Oshie, Duncan, etc. than his teams were pretty good. When he doesn't have one or two of the best players in the country his teams are pretty good (5-10 range). Has a UND team ever overachieved and went to the FF when they weren't supposed to or won it all?

18 offensive rebounds for ISU. EIGHTEEN. UND has two rebounds in 2nd half and are now losing. Figure it out Jones, DO SOMETHING!

If UND would decide to rebound on the defensive end they would be up by 20.

46-37 at half.

UND is destroying this zone tonight. Movement all over, open shots are being knocked down. Antwi has hit two in a row and looks good. 46-35 with 1:27 left.

UND up 39-32 with 3:50 left in half. Traylor just gave his guy two offensive rebound put backs in a row.

They look better tonight, actually have some movement vs. the zone that ISU is playing.

NDSU - 26 of 36 FT's - 30 fouls called on them UND - 33 of 41 FT's - 27 fouls called on them. The refs weren't the reason your team went 1-12 on three pointers.

I don't know one UND fan who "raves" about the quality of Big Sky basketball.

When Glas had talented teams, they kicked ass. When he didn't they were average. Jones has 6 seniors and the best team he has ever had and they are no better than last year, or the year before (arguably). That's the problem.

Couldn't be better! We are staring down the barrel of another Top 16 finish this year, maybe Top 8 if the opening round team is bad enough. Aces baby!

No. And yes, welcome to UND Chris!

The latest poser on here was fgosioux. usually about 4-5 a year that hop on and somehow end up talking about NDSU. Who give a sh*t what you think about the rivalry, did anyone ask or was it ever brought up? No idea what you are talking about.

Tony would put giant red text under your posts if this was Bisonville -not realizing his own fan base does it every month on SS. You guys are so lame.

Well, you better soak it up then. Because you will never see that again, right? Don't be that guy.

I believe they were missing a couple guys on this trip, fwiw.

How long ago? Give us the whole timeline.

RPI is a horrible ranking system in December. Slowly, the major programs are moving to the top but it will take well into February before it is fairly accurate. Coincidentally, I see Calliou made it a part of his NDSU game story from last night. Idiot. Problem is those "die-hard" basketball fans will actually believe it.

Good point.

That was for the DUI. He has not missed snap for the THREE Loud parties and Minor in Possession. As has been proven, anything less than a felony is not suspendable at NDSU.
