Whoa, did anyone else see the mess on the Yote board with its 2022 recruiting page?
Don't feel like going to someone else's board. Care to elaborate?

I believe the conference gets about 330K for each game a conf team plays in. The units (one per game played) get paid out annually for 6 years. Conferences can split them up however they wish - not sure how the summit does it, but I would guess Summit teams get an equal share. So I believe ORU's win nets the summit an extra 2 million over the next 6 years. Someone please correct me if Im wrong.
RIP @SiouxVolley Really need his knowledge right now.

I heard about this, I'm surprised he didn't get two 5's and two 10's instead got a 2 for killing Primeau, 5 for fighting with a 10. The other guy got 2 for being a punching bag. Then the Leafs brought Sabourin back up to the NHL after the game.
Maybe my beer goggles are seeing this wrong, but to me it seems he knew he was going to get jumped for running the goalie and pre-dropped the gloves and was ready to fight.

I still don't understand how Mankato has a higher Pairwise rating than us. I understand Pairwise is meaningless this year but I still don't get it. Also how AIC can be listed 3rd is beyond me.
Now with this loss to Northern Michigan, you would think Mankato's pairwise would take a bit of a hit.
I think it's due to some leagues having a nonconference series or two. Gives a nice bump when beating a team that then goes and beats teams in another conference.
I like Fenton, but I think the east - west thing made to much of seeing same team. And the NCHC should've allowed 1 nonconference eries if teams able to schedule. Just to shore up some pwr and rpi.

Between football and hockey, this is a really fun spring to be a UND fan!
A win against the Bison should move UND to #1. The BC loss last night moves UND back to #1.
When is the last time both hockey and football were ranked #1 teams?
2001???

Who get’s the 5th seed then, Denver or Western. Does it go to winning percentage with uneven games?
Points per game. So Denver gets 5. Which I think they only needed couple points to pass Western and two games to do it anyways.

So 1-8 and 2-7 are west/east, which is nice. It's a pity that, assuming Denver wins another and reaches fifth, 3-6 and 4-5 will be match-ups between teams that are sick of each other.
I really don't understand why the NCHC didn't do it ND state tourney style of 1w vs 4e, 2w vs 3e and so on.
Guess they are re-seeding after first round according to Schloss.

Not sure what is expected from the QB, but Schuster’s QB rating the first 2 weeks of the season are 151.4 against SIU and 114.9 against SDSU. 4 TDs vs 1 interception. Seems like a very good game manager with a cool head on his shoulders to boot.
He's been so good at putting a ball where D can't get it. Interception was bad, but I think he only threw 2 others that the d would've had any chance of touching.

Take this for what it is, but kind of makes sense. What I heard is that other teams didn't want any fans allowed for the tourney so 3,000 it is.

Well the BIG 10 had a rule last season that their football teams had to have so many games in before they could qualify for the league playoff. When Ohio State did not reach that threshhold, BIG officials simply changed the rule to allow them in. We may see something similar in hockey.
I love that everyone is so upset over a standard that no other league did. No dog in the fight and didn't like the rule, but don't understand everyone bashing Big 10 over changing it. Why I thought dumb from the start...what if the team that didn't make the threshold had never had a covid outbreak, but everyone they were supposed to play kept cancelling?
This case is different as the NCAA (not league) requires the 13 games. And leagues are now being more fluid with schedules.

I checked out the roster and I counted 13. Maybe they updated it.
Still is very low compared to the past. Why do I have the feeling we could be giving more scholarships than that amount?

I think it goes beyond embarrassing. Recently heard that the survival rate for the 0-20 age group is 99.997%, so it should probably be treated like the flu. Instead, it's treated like the bubonic plague.
Are you OK being in charge and the one to make a decision that ends up killing that .003% kid? I don't want to bring this to my 94 year old grandma and live with that the rest of my life (I take care of her). I can't imagine making a decision that has a kid die.
And yet again it's over the head of most that it's not always about the kids themselves, but about who they spread it to. This kills at a higher percent of the flu, so quit comparing it to the flu.

Didn't they take over university station on Gateway?

Watching semi vs Denver (thanks Blackheart) and Caggiula just scored I think number 23. So Jimmy Vesey from Harvard won Hobey with 24 g and 22 a. Decent but he put up way better numbers year before (58 pts???). Caggiula was tiny bit behind in goals regular season. Beoser went for 27 - 33 as a freshman! Makes you realize that the Hobey was a career award back in 2016.

Any other year, Panzer would have won the Hobey. But Ryan Miller had arguably the best season by a goalie in college hockey history. Yeah it sucked that Panzer didn't win it, but can't really blame the voters for awarding it to Miller looking at his stats from that year:
31-5-4 record (NCAA record for winning percentage)
.950 Save percentage (NCAA record)
1.33 GAA (led nation)
10 Shutouts (NCAA record)
And all that was because of what was in front of him. I feel like he averaged only facing like 15 shots a game, but maybe that was during the shutouts.

It's what we heard as well as we flew with the team (I was in the band). Best part of the night was after arena put keg of beer away all the fans under the stadium then went to a bar couple blocks away. Somehow UND had gotten a hold of someone in government to allow bar open after hours. I happened to be outside when police showed up and Roger Thomas put his arm around the cop and they talked briefly and then police left.
We then went to airport and team showed up with hockey bags full of 30 racks. We still had to wait for flight and were only ones in airport everyone drinking. Got on flight and someone was pushing cases up the aisle handing beers out with breakfast sandwich. I'm sure I've messed up some details as a long time ago and I wasn't sober.
Oh and we sat at the airport for a while. IIRC plane wasn't even there and was coming in from MSP as chartered out of there so I don't think the Ralph partying stories hold.

Damn do some of you like being boisterous and put down others with crap like this because they don't party think like you. Mafia I met you way way back in Joe Sensor's days and you didn't act like this in person back then, but people do change over the years. Should I post the white nationalist march pictures? Nazi fascism posters to represent the Republican party? People are entitled to their opinions but many of you are trying to bully others into submission or into not posting.
I've voted for both parties in the past and neither in last presidential election (I'd like an official 3rd party on ballot). What many of you that act like this don't realize is you actually make a middle of the road guy like me disgusted and want to vote the other direction.
I also don't understand the party of pro-life being so callous in essentially wanting others to die. Sure many things kill people and we don't know the final numbers of this. And that's part of the problem. We don't know. It might be hundreds of thousands or maybe less than flu. Also on the flu how many died that could've been saved if they got the shot? I am one that doesn't get the shot. And yes other problems will arise from this shutdown like suicides. But if you're all of a sudden so concerned about suicides then maybe you should be worried about guns since they are the leading choice to commit suicide. (and I've had family commit suicide).
Personally I do think closures started too early and unnecessary in areas that haven't had a case yet. Then I hear as Walz said today Minnesota only has 235 ICU beds. If no bed and you have this virus he said you are 10 times more likely to die. I believe all these facts coming from the U of MN. If that's true then dang kind of important to make sure more infrastructure is in place. And maybe federal and state governments should have gotten moving in January on this to avoid shutting everything down??? I haven't been able to confirm this but saw where this is more contagious as it stays on surfaces way longer. Flu spreads to 1.4 people a day. So even if you were contagious for 10 days it goes to 24 people you infected. This virus a person averages spreading to 3 people a day. If true after 10 days (and isn't it contagious longer) you have spread to 59,000 people. Again haven't confirmed this, but even if it's 2 a day it's a jump of infecting 1024 over 10 day period.
This sucks on all fronts and will be debated for a long time after. Hopefully we learn from it and are better prepared on how to manage this better next time. Feel free to reply, but I won't be checking. Following Keikla's lead and out of this thread.

I started feeling sick on Monday with what I perceived to be influenza and have been at home since then. Must have had 20 friends and co-workers suggest that I immediately go get tested for COVID-19. Shaking my head...
OK so I'm going to preface this with I rarely get sick. Like haven't taken a sick day in years (yes I'm dumb bc I don't get anything for not using them).
Is it normal to have the flu for 4 days? Doesn't that make you question things??? I know my brother and his family all had it for like 5 days this winter and he was saying how he's never been that sick for that long.

Anecdotlly only 55% of Americans have money in the stock market and of that percentage a majority is owned by 20%.
Actually those numbers are more lopsided. I just googled and attached an article. Top 10% richest own 84% of stock market and it's been trending higher. Only 27% of middle class owned. Few years old. From 2017 Money dot com

Big Ten just announced on the broadcast that today is the last and only day fans allowed at the basketball tourney.
Really sucks for those in route or those that just got there. It's only the two play in games today.
Add Big 12 as doing the same.

I owned that shirt as a kid. I was going through boxes this summer and found some old UND stuff, but not that shirt. Now I'm wondering what ever happened to it.
