My guess is there was an expectation of a bigger school and FCS or lower-mid FBS was never considered. In fact, I'd probably venture that FCS still isn't considered as a "real offer."

Women's hockey wouldn't be as much of a budget drain if people actually got off their butts and went out to support it. Realistically, fan support for all sports not hockey is lower than it should be with the possible exception of volleyball. Increase fan attendance to other sports and you'll see revenue increases that will help pay for the stipends and such. However, is it likely that people are going to suddenly get up and go out to more games? Not likely. The one hope is that football becomes competitive and can start filling the Alerus again, that should bring some needed money back into the university to help offset other costs.

This comment = pure class.

Let's keep this on topic please. Too easy to get sidetracked where this is going. There's another thread for that.

Goalie did the right thing. Health of a player is more important than a game.

Is this WR the kind of talent to come in and play immediately?

My guess is that if he's always there, the coaches want him there. Don't know why seeing as how it has not worked in three straight games...

Ausmus/Stetcher was our best defensive pair before Stetcher was injured but I find myself also liking this Ausmus/Panz pair. Not as offensively capable but they definitely clear out the front of the net.

That Michigan-OSU game was a track meet, good lord

Did the gameday chat go down for anyone else?

You mean the ability to put the puck in the net.

4th line > 3rd line

Wondering at the lines... no Simonson? Olson still out sick?

The wheels are off the program this year. Losing to Syracuse is inexcusable. I hear there's a former UMD coach available...

I'm a Packers fan but I see it as IND vs. SEA for the super bowl.

I'd rather have a player be a goon straight up and willing to engage in fisticuffs than someone that takes cheap slashes at somebodies knees.

If OD is better on a lower line, should Hak keep Poolman at forward and on that top line and keep OD down on 3rd/4th line? That way we can get Panz more ice time and then Stecher slides right back in when he's healthy.

That third line (except Pattyn) is just wasted potential. I'd rather see the fourth line have more ice time than the third...

To be honest, this game could easily have gone UND's way with the bounce of a puck or two. Remember all the chances that UND had that just barely missed. Had any of those gone in, UND carries more momentum and possibly isn't as sluggish in the 2nd/3rd. UND plays better tonight and gets the split. Murphy doesn't see ice time the rest of the year (unless devastated by injuries).

With how this game has been, I just hope we don't get swept at home. UMD has dominated play most of the night.

Kind of question that powerplay. Late in the powerplay it looked like they were specifically trying to setup a shot for Murphy from the top of the circle and the pass was always deflected.

Now we know, just started pushing everyone into McIntyre. We'll never be scored on.

Interference even though Chyzk was pushed into the goalie?

I actually was. Favre was burning bridges in GB year after year by being a prima donna and holding their draft hostage. I was ready to see him go, even without knowing what Rodgers was.

I don't think you'll find too many. Most Packers fans I know (including myself) are more than happy with Rodgers.
