Any update on Ladue?

For those who were asking about FCS; UND's website posted about a half hour ago that the Saturday game will be on FCS. Here what the website says: GRAND FORKS, N.D. – The National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC) announced today that 11 NCHC games have been added to the league’s national television schedule on FOX College Sports (FCS) in 2014-15, including seven involving the University of North Dakota. The five home games, produced in high-definition by Midco Sports Network (MidcoSN), include games against Miami (Nov. 15), Omaha (Nov. 29), Colorado College (Jan. 24), Denver (Feb. 14) and St. Cloud State (Feb. 28). Dan Hammer is his third season as the play-by-play voice for UND Athletics while former UND forward Scott Koberinski returns as color analyst. Veteran broadcaster Katie Hale also returns as the ice-level intermission reporter. UND will also have two road games air nationally on FCS: the Jan. 31 game at Omaha, produced by PBS affiliate Nebraska Educational Telecommunications (NET1), and the March 7 game at Miami, produced by Time Warner Cable Sports Channel in Ohio. Today’s announcement increased the number of regular-season UND men’s hockey national broadcasts in 2014-15 to 13, up from seven in 2013-14. This year’s national broadcast schedule also includes six previously-announced games on CBS Sports Network (CBSSN): vs. Minnesota Duluth (Jan. 10), vs. Colorado College (Jan. 23), at Omaha (Jan. 30), at Western Michigan (Feb. 20), vs. St. Cloud State (Feb. 27) and at Miami (March 6).

Its already been said, but Miami certainly can have a potent offense when they are clicking. A solid test for our D and Goaltending. Key for UND will be preventing Miami from getting a hot start. It seems like if you let Miami get a little momentum they will capitalize on it and run away with the game. Not a team you want to have to come back on from down a few goals. Here is to a good series.

As bad as UND played on opening night (and they played terrible), I was really surprise at how well Bemidji played. They could definitely push the Mavs this season for the WCHA. Lets hope they get a good start this weekend and knock off the Goofs.

Can't believe how bad they are. I didn't see the cfb on Gaarder, but they could have had another one called at the same time.

Me too

Maybe they heard me, the picture just got better. Let's see if it lasts

Not a great webcast. Sharp picture one minute then back to low quality.

I agree, just not the way the coaches usually do things. Might as well see what Bartell has though.

Doubtful after 1 pick 6, but I agree

Hideous throw

I don't even want to read this thread because it frustrates me so much. The Fighting Sioux name is no longer on the uniforms, but the the city, school, and alumni still identify by it. Stick with University of North Dakota and leave it at that. It would make everyone happy. Unfortunately, Kelly will make them adopt something stupid and politcally correct ... makes you miss Kupchella. I'll have a hard time cheering for the UND Aeros, Force, Spirit, Cavalry, or any other stupid option he throws out there. I would love my kids to go there some day, so long as he isn't there any more. That guy should never have been brough in as President of the school.

Haha, some of them have. Obviously it wouldn't be the typical NDSU vs. FBS game, but if there was an FCS program that could even compete with Bama it would be the Bison. You just can't argue with their success or the program they have built ... it is impressive. I only hope UND can take some strides towards that type of success and competitiveness. Unfortunately, we are now starting over with Bubba, but it was still a move in the right direction. Go Sioux!

I see the game will be on ESPN3, does anyone know if Fox College Sports will pick it up? Is FCS picking up any football games this season, it isn't mentioned on UNDs website?

Not going to get my hopes up, but this would be terrific. The more teams the better, I'd love to see the sport expand!

Exactly, I'll take webcast over nothing, but I was not impressed with the quality last season. It was watchable, but certainly not the high quality that UND was touting online. It would sometimes glitch and freeze, and the picture was never sharp for supposedly being HD. Rather disappointing, getting FCS back in the picture, and getting UNDs entire home schedule online would be a huge improvement! Hopefully they can work some more Football and Basketball games into the deal too.

Hate defending the bison fans too much, but he did say he was looking to see how are recruiting was going. Can't hate too much on that. I'm just looking forward to whenever we can get another game on the schedule with them. The last game (which we won ) was my Freshman year of college. Great experience!

We're not all obsessive

Yeah, I don't care who the team is, top end players sticking around is good for the college game. I said the same thing when Bjugstad decided to stay another year. Regardless of who the team is, it is nice to see player stick around.

Agreed, I understand what he was saying ... Rocco was fun to watch; but his game and excitement level wasn't even comparable to Oshie. Youtube Rocco college highlight and Oshie college highlight to see my point

Nick was already coming in the Fall, I assume someone else will now step in to this open role. Any names that we weren't planning on seeing here in the Fall?

So Rocco is gone, time to move on ... mistake in my opinion, cuz I think there was still plenty of room for development, but money talks. Good luck to him. Moving on ... Who do we see coming in to take his place?

The Nokota might me cool, they could be the Nokes for short. I would take the Roughriders too. I would prefer they just remain UND, with no name and no new logo but I doubt that will happen. I just really hope the school doesn't do something stupid like the force or the spirit, etc.

I hate correcting people but I believe the proper term is Goofers, not Gophers.
