Ann Arbour is a beautiful college town right next to a major city

I'm actually sitting in a Detroit suburb right now. Detroit has a lot of work to do, but they are trying. Downtown by the stadiums is actually really safe and awesome now. There are suburbs...West Bloomfield, Grosse Pointe...that are like Edina f'd Wayzata.

what's Annie's number? : )

welcome to the jungle, we got fun and games....

i'm curious how many of you have been to Ann Arbor...it isn't Detroit...its an hour from Detroit

I'm going to pivot some of my comments to help create some of the basis of my thinking. I would actually like to reflect on the Minnesota pro sports model...aka he is one of us, he's great, we love him...Joe Mauer, Zach Parise...unreal pro athletes....however, when's the last time the Wild or the Twins were actually relevant. I want to be careful of that thinking...

I would just love a ZJ...in high school I only had like $1o so no way I was getting a z jjay

I just don't understand a personal attack. I can't read correctly? Bro I'm Big 10 and Ivy educated. I really don't need to comment further.

dude, its f'ing crazy...20 years ago we were still bucks

I will State this again. Is Augustana a relevant school to any stud D1 athlete? Please answer me this...

didn't think you were going to go hard on this...

in high school you turned down a BJ for hopes of something more?

makes me laugh when some guys get all rowdy and don't look at the date we all started...2003...thats a long time ago...22 years...damn im old

God I hope so

brother, we've been on here together for a ton of years, and I respect you- shocking actually we never met in person at a F4 or F5...probably walked past each other : ) I know exactly what you're saying, and God knows I hated certain fans wearing other colors at times...but don't you miss being there at the top every year even if we didn't win it all. We were there. Eye of the Tiger. Could've done it. RIght there....

I reiterate, despite those who question me, that the number one thing we must do is make UND the destination where guys want to go to get to the NHL. We will not compete on overall campus experience, and we will not compete on academics. It must be, if you are a chippah, you need to come here to go pro and not ride a bus. This is it, pure and simple. then, we need to throw NIL $ at them and help them make it.

winning natty's is no longer my bag. Of course I wish for it, but I reflect back on all those talented teams, and I still loved the ride, and I still watched every one of those guys that made the nhl

sioux hockey: fast, heavy, hard, and skilled

heard this as well

well, they didn't recruit non-Minnesotans for like 70 years

the thing is chippahs beget chippahs...without the first, you lose the second and third. They all want to play together. Look at what BC and BU and MI have done...loaded teams with chippahs. Yeah, they didn't win it all, but damn...I bet that fan base is still juiced and looking forward to next season...2 are still alive this year, and loaded with WJC and 1st round talent...

NCAA tourney is one and done. !@#$ happens. You lose sometimes with the best team and you win sometimes without the best team. The big deal is you have to get to the dance. We need to get there every season and we need a coach who gets chippahs in a pipeline. Parise and Toews were the two most coveted recruits in college hockey and we got them.

For the record, getting Knies and Cooley is great, but its not like the University of Minnesota is hard to recruit to. I guess they lost Eiserman, but its not the same.

Within how many years and who did they bring in as associates and assistants? That is the key question. Every senior exec knows you are only as good as the people who you bring in or keep next to you. I would not bring in an unproven head coach mostly because i don't think they can bring in the right people to help immediately, and we are in an immediate correction situation.

sorry i am not high on him like you are. Never call me stupid. I won't call you stupid either. Its opinion.
