I understand where it is nice to have hometown/homestate player that grew up and developed in the area; but I don't care if every play on the roster comes from down south, I wanna see this team dominate and go to the tourney in March!
-
So you're sayin there's a chance! lol
-
Anyone know what are chances are on getting Macura? Is there a chance?

The best part about when teams try to shut down Hardin, is that you will see huge games out of Golladay and Jackson. Assuming the rookie QBs can play decent (solid receiving core will help), offense will not be the concern this year, defense will. Sioux could have that "big step" year if they take advantage of their home field position. They have an incredibly tough schedule, so they must win a few of those games again high ranked teams. An upset against E Wash or SDSU will be key. Even staying competitive against MT St. would be a huge improvement from last years embarassement, and would show that the team is taking the correct steps.

Yeah, it was a bummer, I had to follow along on the play by play gametracker. Couldn't believe when they won, that I had missed the finish. Hope they have some big wins this season. Time to make the playoffs and finally get a fun rivalry games with NDSU.

Faison needs to work with the NCHC and figure out a way for games that are not commited to CBSSN to be braodcase on FCS. Then I would be truly impressed; as of now I'm pretty dissappointed in the fact that I'll have to watch almost all games via webcast. Hopefully it is as improved as they say it is. As for non-hockey sports, that is still a good deal for the school. The more exposure, the better. Hopefully they will have a fair number of basketball games; should be a big season for Sioux basketball! If they capitalize on their talent, maybe they could do a little "Dancin" next March!!
-
Most, not all ... last year the UND vs Montana game was not on Big Sky website; pretty dissappointing to have to miss that game.
-
Great Idea! I would be all for something simple like that. An oil barrell would be great!
-
Agreed, they need to improved their seating behind each end. It would also be nice if they gave students better seating, like they do with hockey.
-
It is puzzling as to why football has such a hard time retaining fans. I really believe a different stadium that was on campus could do wonders. I remember watching games at the Alerus center, and I never did like the building. Horrible building to watch football in.
-
That would be positive new, if they can pull it off.
-
yeah, and I understand that, but they are pretty poor at negotiating then. Why not negotiate to broadcast you games, that are not already committed to CBS elswhere? We saw some of that this past season, Homegames were all broadcast on FCS with the exception of the few that were on CBS or NBC.
-
I've been complaining about it for a while. I'm no necessarily opposed to the NCHC, I am opposed to one of the premier teams in the new league having no real benefits. Mostly I'm just ticked that after being able to watch all of the home games over the past few year, I won't be able to now.
-
I'd pay for it, if it was reasonable. There is just no reason they can't work towards a deal that would provide coverage similar to what they had with FCS.
-
Agreed! If the webcast was strong and reliable it would be just fine. Something similar to what the Big Sky does.

Pretty poor decision to bank on that after fans have had access to TV deals the past several years. Can't express how disappointed I am in this. Hopefully their current contract isn't too long and they can find a better deal down the road.
-
Terrible! A top D1 hockey program, and this is the best we can do? It pathetic that the school joins a different conference and gives up its national exposure like that. Not saying that they should have stayed in the WCHA, that would have been absurd, but they should have figured out these details way ahead of time.
-
The black endzone look great, but I would take the Fargo Dome over the Alerus Center anyday ... when will UND get another Ralph Engelstad Alum to donate a sick football stadium? And bring it back to campus ... perfect placement would have been right ontop of the Old Memorial or Old Ralph. As soon as I make my billions ... :-)
-
Does anyone know if there is anything new with the Men's hockey TV situation? I know that the NCHC has a deal with either NBC or CBS Sports, but that will only cover a few of the games throughout the season? Have they found a way to broadcast the rest of the games? Pretty disappointing to lose out on the Fox College Sports deal that was in place, I would think they could find a way to make it work for the games that are not already commited to the bigger network. At the very least, it would be smart of the NCHC to put together something like the Big Sky does. It will be pretty dissapointing if the only way to watch the Sioux are the glitchy webcasts that have been in place over the past several years.

Is there a website for college hockey recruiting. I tend to see a lot of names out here that I know nothing about. Where do most of you get your recruiting info? Here on SS or elsewhere?
-
Wasn't the Pelnik the guy that committed to UND when he was in like 8th or 9th grade? I though I remembered reading (a while back) he was the youngest kid to commit to UND, or am I mixing this up?
-
Can we expect any of these guys to be immediated impact players? Without Knight and Kristo we are losing alot of scoring punch this season.
-
I definitely wouldn't worry about Rocco being on the score sheet. It is easy to have higher expectations of him, even though he is a Freshman, because we were exposed to his name so much from his red shirt year. This guy could potentially be around for another 3 years, I am sure he will do amazing thing, so long as he sticks around.

Love the Sioux, but St Cloud, won the WCHA and beat the hell out of Notre Dame ... they deserve to keep playing. Sioux beat themselves with poor D and missed opportunities today. As for Hakstol, his number speak for themselves. I would be thrilled if this guys recruits and coaches for UND for another 15-20 years. Fan have been pampered by this guy, and don't realize how bad it could be with anyone else. We have been lucky enough to watch post season hockey for the last 9 years. 5 Frozen Fours, One title game. I'll take it, the championship will come...
