  1. Probably contemplated leaving hockey after getting checked through the glass. My guess, he wants to ensure he doesn't have to play against UMD or Gornall ever again.
  2. I guess my memory is skewed. I know I always had fun at those games; particularly the home playoff game against North Alabama. If I remember that one correctly, they had a star player suspended for the game. I want to say something drug related, but don't remember if it was a recreation drug or a PED or what. I just remember it was a lot of fun. Especially because it sealed a trip to Florence for the championship game. Also had a ton of fun on that trip as a Freshman in college.
  3. I'm not saying football can't be much bigger than it is. It is hard to seeing hockey ever taking a backseat to football, though I guess they shouldn't really be looked at as competing against each other anyway. Hockey has obviously been successful in competition and with the fans. If football can replicate that kind of following; I'm all for it. And you are correct with what an FCS championship can do. All one has to do is look at how much, and how fast NDSU tailgating has changed over the past 5-6 years. Pretty cool really. Would love to see that kind of following and passion with UND football. Don't have to like them, but even in Mpls, it is tough to go anywhere and not see someone where Bison apparel.
  4. wow, I don't really remember that, but it has been a while. Glad to see things improving now. Obviously, the playoff game last fall hurt, after controlling a good portion of the game, but I really hope they have an opportunity to make the playoffs with home field advantage this year. Tougher schedule this year, so if they do get a home playoff game, they will have earned it for sure.
  5. Early to mid-2000's? The Al was packed and UND was making deep playoff runs consistently. Football wasn't hockey, but it probably never will be. Nevertheless, football was pretty darn popular.
  6. Studs, Zim, Nate then Boltmann
  7. good to know. I couldn't remember when it came out last year.
  8. Anyone know when the schedule comes out for next season?
  9. What is his "situation"? He is just keeping his options open for the best possible offer?
  10. Yes, I believe so.
  11. Looks like the cowboys waive Coe. Paging MN Vikings ... you need more depth!
  12. Wonder if they will look to any FBS dropdowns? Any name in the rumor mill?
  13. Fair enough. My only concern now, is that no other names pop up. Wonder who is roommates are? Were they aware? Was anyone else on the team using? Was anyone else dealing? My hope is that this was an isolated incident, and that we can move on and focus on football. Sucks to hear this kind of stuff. Heck, I don't like hearing about it when it is a Bison player, or a Gopher player. These are kids that have a ton of opportunity, and certainly don't want to see them waste it.
  14. Anyone know what the word is on Massimo Rizzo? Is UND in the mix? And if so, when is this kid likely to commit? Next year sometime?
  15. Agree with most of your moving forward comments towards next year. But terms like stupid, dumb, selfish, wasteful are probably better terms for this KID (And yes he is a kid ... a dumb kid, a selfish kid, a stupid kid) than POS. My hope for this kid, is that this will be the best and worst moment of his life. Worst because he lost so much, but best, because it got him to straighten his life out. Lets not be absurd here, this kid has some major issues right now. Hope he sees the big picture, and move forward.
  16. And the white powder? I think he would have been a good player, but he was no Lawrence Taylor.
  17. Well I would imagine Poole will be opening up some $$, right?
  18. Sooooo how about that 2 deep?
  19. But was there a need to eliminate to completely? It doesn't need to be the primary logo. I think they have done a good job of implementing the new one (minus the lack of decent apparel), but like I said, why not find a way to incorporate it in as an accent? ND on alternative helmets would be cool. Again, not saying it has to be a primary logo, but still don't see a reason to completely eliminate it Doesn't matter, since it is gone. Just though it would look really cool on the gray helmets that are rumored to show up. It would look classic and throwback. Just because we are not the Sioux anymore, doesn't mean we can retain a little history from that time frame, especially something that nobody could find offensive in any way, shape or form.
  20. I totally get what they are doing with the rebranding, and I think it makes sense. I just think not retaining anything of historical significance is a little excessive. There was certainly nothing wrong with the ND logo. I know there was some concern over the branding of if, compared to Notre Dame. And to Southpaw's point, a handful of years ago, people wouldn't want a shirt with the ND. I still wouldn't want a shirt with just the ND, but I think it is a nice complimentary logo, to go with the Hawk. Definitely looked sharp on the football helments (and actually the hawk does too), but if they have alternative helmets it would be cool to use an alternative logo. Not often, be here and there, just to mix things up.
  21. What is the story here? Do you know BJ doesn't like Adidas, and why? Or is this speculation?
  22. Not just football apparel, but UND apparel in general has take a huge downturn. I was at scheels the other weekend (granted it was the one in Fargo), and everything looked like trash. NDSU had tons of options, and (minus the ugly Bison ) Everything looked really nice. The designs were better, the variety was better, the quality was better. UND has a new name, a new logo, a new brand, and they need to completely overhaul their apparel. I went with a full intention of buying some Fighting Hawk gear and starting to get on board with the new name. I did end up with a Fighting Hawks Big Sky Champs shirt (I should clarify which one, it is for basketball), but other than that, there was nothing to pick from. Very disappointing.
  23. but Horns Up?
  24. My.02 Doesn't matter what anybody thinks about if this should or should not be legal. Doesn't matter if it seems innocent or not.The only thing that matters in this scenario is that at THIS time it IS illegal. So don't do it, unless you want to deal with the repercussions. As laws change, people/students/players can adapt to them; but as a citizen you don't get to decide a law is dumb so you won't follow it (unless you don't mind facing the punishment. How many times has someone been driving where the speed limit is 30mph, but it should probably be 40mph? Well, you can drive 40, but you might get ticketed, and your argument of "Well, it should be legal to drive 40 here" won't really hold up. I'm fairly indifferent on these particular laws, but I do take the stance of follow the law, whatever it is. If you don't, I don't really feel too bad for you when you get caught. My bigger concern is, if Poole had this going on, who else was involved. I'd be pretty surprised if he was the only one, but hopefully we don't see any more of this.
