I think UND agreeing to terms that NDSU decided were too good to turn down had something to do with it.
I'm not happy about the game.... But when a team turns down a two game deal for x amount of money.... And then agrees to two games for less than x amount of money...it kinda makes sense I guess.
I'm still not happy about the game and plan on being in South Bend on the day of the game
this game isn't and wasn't about money...if the ndac's number one program (fb) loses to und's number two sport the fans of the ndac won't know what to do...ten years ago they had an option adn that was to go d1...now when the ndac loses to und in fb what's left to do??? the only way that question wouldn't have to be answered was if the game was never played ever and the teammakers/gt/lakes were trying to make sure this game never happened.

the reason why the bar kept moving on these games being played was that the ndac/gt/teammakers did not want this game at any price at any venue ever? yet something changed and by the demeanor of the ndac officials at the press conference it seems like it was out of their hands...like they know something but can't tell the fans of the ndac?? something doesn't add up here?
-
Yeah, FU has no desire to get into the BSC and UND has not desire to get into the MVFC. (plus Peak conference or whatever...)
Both fan bases should quit this gibberish. Sounds like people are doing too many jager shots with fraudulent credit cards...
for a team not wanting into the bsc (ndac) they sure are scheduling a lot of bsc teams?
-
call me a conspiracy lover but why do i get the feeling that fullerton is behind some of the ndac's recent ooc scheduling?
ndac now has montana and weber this year...und, montana, and weber the next....ew the next couple of years and then und one more time for their ooc schedule....maybe the demeanor at the press conference was because fullerton told the new the ad at the ndac that this divide between the ndac and und needed to be closed before the ndac would be considered for future membership in the Big Sky Conference???

You have to think strategically about what is going on.
Idaho will not be invited back to the Sun Belt in 2015 (although they can play til 2017). The Big Sky will petition the NCAA to form a FBS league in late 2015. E Wash in adding on to their stadium in anticipation of FBS, so they need bigger FCS teams to fill it. EWU wants NDSU in the league.
NDSU thinks they will play UND eventually because they think they will be in an FBS Big Sky. NDSU just want to delay that series from starting. NDSU has to go to the Big Sky, as no other conference will offer them an FBS spot. No Colo can't go FBS, so NDSU knows that the Big Sky needs them for a travel partner with UND. Faison is offering NDSU a better deal, because he knows that an NDSU deal would get overturned by the league office.
Perhaps UND and the Big Sky should offer SDSU first, giving UND a travel partner. Let NDSU rot on the vine in FCS while UND and SDSU clean up on recruiting. Then NDSU will be crying to the media about UND being unfair. Give it a few years until recruiting dries up, and then NDSU can come aboard if they play the first two in GF.
i would absolutely laugh if both usd and the ndac were left floating in fcs/d2/ncc 2.4 and sdsu with their new facilities is chosen by the big sky presidents as und's travel partner in a big sky/wac/fbs merger...usd is dead to fullerton and i can see the new ad at the ndac already buttering up with these odd ooc games he is scheduling...

Only schedule a home and home with NDSU. If they won't do it, don't cave Mr. Faison, just continue to negotiate and hope that NDSU eventually comes to their senses and schedules a home and home. Whether that starts next year and whenever, just keep trying for only the home and home.
In the meantime, why not try and schedule other Midwest FCS programs to home-and-homes to fill our schedule. I would love to see games with Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois, Illinois State, Indiana State, etc. Heck, even try get some east coast teams like New Hampshire, Maine, Delaware, etc. to agree to deals.
I believe NDSU should be UND's highest priority in terms of trying to get a home and home; however, if they won't do that (especially when they will schedule Weber State and Eastern Washington to such agreements), then move on to other opportunities with FCS clubs.
Eventually, we'll either meet NDSU in the playoffs or NDSU's athletic department will have something click upstairs and they'll schedule the home and home. Only two options in my opinion.
very well put...spot on

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???
-
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...

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?

with gt's insane logic und should be demanding all womens bball, mens bball, womens vball, baseball, and womens soccer only be played in grand forks???

you play the first game either at tcf bank stadium or the new vikings stadium and i bet we sell it out and the winner gets the next home game and we play either every year or every other year...simple as that.
-
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!?
-
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...
-
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??)
-
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...
-
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).
-
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.
$$$$$
-
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...
-
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?
-
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?
