  1. Don't get why we aren't seeing DU every other year... Sign a home and home with western michigan and Miami ohio

    everyone says it every year about why we don't use our hockey connections to get some schools to come here yet every year we get presentation college and mayville???

  2. UND's books look much better than Miami or NIU..

    UND Total Revenue - $22 m - $11 m from subsidy NOTE: Ticket Sales - $4 m

    UM Total Revenue - $28 m - $20 m from subsidy NOTE: Ticket Sales - $1.2 m

    N. Ill Total Revenue - $26 m - $17.5 m from subsidy NOTE: Ticket Sales - $2.2 m

    love it when people use facts...

  3. i've thought about ditching cable but keeping internet and getting hulu/netflix and a hd antennae too...i have the hd antennae (the leaf) and it gets a few channels in hd...cbs, abc, fox, nbc and some pbs channels...probably only thing keeping me from dropping midco is the midco sports channel but with the new big sky app that covers most sports and hockey i normally watch in person or with friends at their houses?

  4. Everyone is talking around the real topic - what will it take to win number 8. If Union can do it ...

    What do we have to do differently? - Where do we need to improve? What about that power play? Pretty good is getting old.

    there has been one constant in the last ten years and that is hak...gwoz, eaves, sandelin, comley, york (3 times), parker, allain, and bennett all got it done in the last ten years...somehow they got past the usual excuses we throw around here like high-end talent decommits, hot goalies, injuries, or bad luck? And for people that say hak has won 70% of his games and has been to the frozne four x many times i would say that would be kind of expected with x many all americans, x many 1st or 2nd round draft picks, a pretty much unlimited budget, and oh yeah RALPH ENGELSTAD ARENA!?

  5. Eades already has a couple championship rings.....

    i know he does....i'm saying the next one he gets before hak gets one (in the next ten years maybe if we don't run into another "hot goalie") is the one he is gonna show off a little extra to hak at reunions...

  6. You really think Eades doesn't know exactly why he is no longer coaching at UND? Yeah, there's so much animosity there that they still found themselves able to put that aside to sit together when watching the 8AA title game in TRF. And, yes, Berry and Jackson were there as well. Get a grip on reality.

    i'm not surprised they would be sitting near each other...i don't think eades is gonna cut hak out of his life i'm just saying that eades will have little bigger smile than normal showing off that national championship ring the first time running into hak after winning it (while hak has no championship rings at any level......ever??)

  7. Eades played at UND, pretty easy to take an assistant coaching job at your alma mater. Going to CC to be another assistant coach isn't going to "show up" Hakstol at all.

    if eades ends up either as a head coach or assistant in d1 hockey and that team wins a national title before und and eades holds up the national title trophy to the camera and smiles, he is only smiling at one person and one person only imo...

  8. Well, since he's signed through 2019 he'd better have thought of an "unless CC offers me their job" out clause or he ain't going anywhere.

    http://www.masslive...._coach_ric.html

    ask steve alford and new mexico if long term contracts mean anything anymore...bennett will go anywhere if the money is right and if he feels it gets him closer to his ultimate goal of being an nhl coach (if in fact that is his ultimate goal).

  9. Why in the world would Rick Bennett go to CC? A clear step down, imho.

    Contrary to our "western world view" of hockey out here, not everyone in the hockey world thinks that upper echelon ECAC or Hockey East jobs are just stepping stones to the prime coaching positions out west.

    There are probably about 6-7 positions that Bennett might consider leaving Union for, and CC isn't one of them.

    Besides, I think a certain MN assistant coach is going to be a leading candidate for the CC position.

    $$$$$

  10. I doubt Eades is going to take a job and be second fiddle to Bennett, let alone anyone else.

    so eades was ok with being hak's assistant but he wouldn't like being bennetts assistant at cc??

    pretty sure eades is itching to get into the nchc to show up the guy that fired him...

  11. Hey I didn't bring him up

    I bet he goes to cc

    that's what i'm kind of worried about...bennett goes to cc and brings in eades as his top guy??

    anyone know what owens made his last year and what bennett made this year at union?

  12. In three years Rick Bennett has made the NCAA tournament three times, the frozen four twice, and won a national championship. Is it time for Faison to make a phone call and offer him a three year 1 million dollar contract?

  14. I would like to point out travel. How many UND fans could travel to Vermillion, Fargo, Brookings compared to Sacramento, Cheney, and Flagstaff. There are beautiful locations throughout the Big Sky footprint, but getting there is a problem for most fans unless you live pretty close to those locations. Living in Fargo I would love to have UND in the same conference as NDSU, SDSU, and USD, plus its just a couple hour drive to Brookings and another couple hours to Vermillion. 4 hours west of Fargo gets me to Dickinson. So obviously travel is a huge plus to joining the rest of the Dakota 3.

    three words darell.....big. sky. app.

  15. Can't have Thunder...too scary. Even though Oregon has ducks I suppose that could work with our state. I like Cavalry but I think RoughRiders will be a favorite. Here's a question no matter the nickname do we keep the word Fighting in front I it? Fighting Ducks, Fighting Norse?

    Yes...we will be known as the Fighting Norse!!

  16. All those moves make sense. Butler is gonna be one fast OLB.

    you would think that with all that has happened that a guy like butler would FINALLY see the field in the secondary and then Bubba goes and moves him to olb....in bubba we trust!!!!

  17. Montana St. hired Brian Fish as its new men's basketball coach. He was previously an assistant at Oregon, Creighton, and Kansas St. His base salary is $145,000 which if I recall is around $55,000 more that what North Dakota pays our head coach.

    Not saying Jones deserves a $55,000 raise, but the next time we are in the process of hiring a new coach whether that is a year from now or 5 years from now, the salary is going to have to go way up to stay competetive with other Big Sky programs.

    what is it with us that we continue to be near the bottom in paying our coaches compared to the rest of the bsc.. i know we are only two years in and have made some improvements in the last couple of years with jones and bubba and brew...is it our baseball team or womens hockey team??? msu gives its new head coach 145k??? wow
