As Dave no longer answers to the NCAA, it would be awesome to see him wear a sioux head lapel pin during games or something like that. I know he won't, but that would be pretty cool. It would be like a big middle finger to the NCAA, which I'm sure Dave would NEVER do.

Just may me bust out laughing in a quiet office. Thanks for that one.

Yep, you nailed it.

I don't think the GOBC meets until Wednesdays

Not going defend the guy, already said he had some character issues (though it shouldn't matter who was put into a coma, its bad regardless of relations). Second you need to dig in past the headlines. There were three people involved. An personally I think they are all morons, yes including the kid who was in a coma. They all put themselves into a stupid situation and that guy got the worst of it. Prime example of why getting into fights is stupid, you never know what can happen. They are all to blame. I was simply throwing out the thought of an available QB with FBS experience.

Has Wade Murphy confirmed he is returning yet?

That is along the lines of what I was wondering. Maybe if it is exhibition is doesn't matter, I remember the UofM playing professional European teams back in the day. The players looked like race cars with all of the sponsors and adverstisements on their jerseys.

Totally random question: Could UND ever schedule an AHL team like, the Iowa Wild, for an exhibition game? Is that even allowed? Just seems like if they could do something like that it would be a really cool marketing event. I know I'd want to watch.

That would be really cool

Yeah, obviously had some character issues. BUT after all that he went through with that process, I have to imagine he would make the most of his next opportunity. Big, strong guy with Big Ten experience. Could probably come in and do some pretty good things.

Who cares ... she just needs to stand there on her step stool and look nice

I'm kind of surprised we haven't heard anything about Auston Matthews. Saw the report that he signed in the swiss league, then he didn't. Really wondering what he is waiting on? I know there are options to weigh, but I would think he would do something pretty soon. *Dream* - Could he be holding out to see if accelerating is education is possible?

Any or all of these things?

Why you gotta hate on Katie

Yeah, I'm not sure why you would even type that. That is a disgusting thought and you should go to church and ask for forgiveness.

Could not agree more, I would hate to see him anywhere but UND.

The hard part to interpret from that tweet, is it Hak leaving that sways Jordan, or is it that Berry is staying. I think he probably would have stayed anyway, then know that Hak is leaving and Berry is staying and the program remains consistent .... maybe that was the factor.

From what I have read Strickland is a reliable source. As for the rest, maybe it isn't so much Hak leaving that has Jordan wanting to stay, but the fact that Berry is the one replacing him rather than someone outside the program. Maybe he would have stayed with Hak here too. Just trying to read between the lines. Plus I think part of him would like to become a FA and then sign with Chicago if he can.

apparently ignorance is bliss

Guentzel's next gig will, and should, be a head coaching spot, would love to see him come to UND though. Solid coach and would tick off gopher nation. they can have that clown, John Hill, back.

Well I agree with that, I was referring more to a strong second half than I was to a weak first half. Agreed this year was extrenely consistent, which I think everyone prefers ... but I do like that they always seemed to enter the playoffs playing their best hockey of the season, as opposed to what we saw from many Gopher teams that seem to completely fall apart right before the tourney.

Wasn't saying to bring back Hak to replace Berry, I meant more if Berry were to ever leave for something else. Its all complete what if scenarios. I agree its Brads team, and I look forward to seeing him succeed. I've been a sioux fan for 12 years, so Hak has been THE guy; it will be really weird to see someone else behind that bench.

Something to look for in a new assistant. Offensive guru with some creativity.

I'm interested to see how long Berry coaches here. will this be a 2-3 year stint, or another 10-15 year coach. If he can get back to the NHL, will he? If Hak does not last in the NHL (hope he does for his own sake), would he come back to UND? Personally I hope that Berry continues the success that Blais and Hak have had and is here for a very long run. Time will tell.

Different sports, Different coach styles, Different Scenarios. Your comparison is apples and oranges. Also Championships are only one factor in the equation.
