Hey I am a college hockey fan (G*pher fan, sorry!)...sad reality is most Bison fans don't care about hockey because they didn't grow up with it as a sport in their area. Hard to "make" someone love a sport they don't understand. I didn't have wrestling at my school in High School and I couldn't tell you much about it, or soccer for that matter. You guys have an unbelievable hockey program and are dang proud of it, which you should be. Top notch hockey and it's run like a professional organization top to bottom. Sad part most Bison or UND fans don't get is even though the sports are 2 different animals (and yes, different "level" within their sport)...is how similar the programs are because they were built in a way in which today they each have amazing tradition, fan bases, and success. Division 2 Championships in football can be laughed at by many fan bases, but it has helped build a fan base that is deep and proud (and obviously obnoxious at time but that comes in various forms in every fan base). So...heck yes. You have something special in GF with your hockey team. And you have a football program that has done some great things in the past as well, and are dang proud of your school, which you should be. Best wishes in your next 3 games....it's like running a playoff gauntlet right in your dang back yard. I'll enjoy this Bison win and now I'm moving on to being POd again that MSU backed on for the home opener....so your team can whip that tail for me if you don't mind too. Represent ND with pride!

Vs the Bison club squad? Sounds like Minot State would be a better option this season.

He played enough title season 1 and would've last season as well. In fact he had 1 of the biggest tackles of the season against GSU on a 4th and goal which really helped swing the momentum. So I hope that assists your butthurt.

Kolpack tweeted this weekend that after the $100K, the money they get from (presumably) SMU...then minus expenses of various nature it will likely be close to a wash with barely a financial gain. Why shouldn't Bison fans be mad? Bail out in February is a bush move. As a season ticket holder, I am a PO'd. This was a very good season opener at home. Now we will be stuck with some crap opener I'm sure. I'll show up for the banner raising and head back to the lot at halftime I suppose.

Well he does live in the south.

Coach pulled the plug on the game, allegedly. Doesn't scream chicken any louder than that.

And a FCS ring for the middle finger.

What in the F is wrong with you guys? Good grief.

So I assume you will say the same thing with NDSU in relation to the Minot kid.

They even let him log in once?

There is no arguing that.

I pay plenty attention to hockey. I've played the game for 33 years. UM fans do not enjoy mediocrity anymore than UND fans, sorry to break it to you. Same with UW, DU, UMD, SCSU, etc and I could go on. Enjoy the season. You guys have a load of talent, a great fanbase, and a great college hockey coach.

Congrats on the dumbest post in the thread.

I would agree with you if Lucia had scheduled Sacred Heart and American International instead of Boston College and Notre Dame. But let's leave that conversation out of here.

I actually do not believe GT is chicken. Just arrogant, smug, etc.

Chicken or egg?

Can we change the thread title to Who Has the Biggest Wiener?

Johnnyboy, sorry but you make our fanbase look like shortbussers. One would only have to look back to Ojuri asking to fill the September opening with UND or Marcus Williams saying "Sioux *&$^" at the FargoDome ceremony last year to realize it would matter something to today's players. Play the freaking game already.

BINGO.

Would there be anything better for their jobs than this game? A hundred articles in a week...piece of cake.

Johs tweeted himself that he was offered as RB. it would be a shame if he quit football.

Had these comments bookmarked for awhile now. Budish was one of the more complete players on the ice this weekend. I hope you understand how completely wrong your take was.

Burnell was a beast. I was in HS when he was at UND. Spent a lot of Saturday afternoons at Memorial Stadium watching that era of UND football.

No. Absolutely not even on the radar. Grow up.

Good grief. A win tomorrow night and you guys are likely tied for first in the league right? ENJOY THE SEASON. Haven't watched your boys much this year but the past 3 games, just to many breakdowns in the D zone. For the life of me I cannot figure out what Schmaltz (correct?) was doing allowing Condon so much space to cut to the middle with less than 10 seconds in the period. Game changing play right there. When have you ever been taught to "force" a guy to drive it the middle? Just a total breakdown and his recovery effort was trash as well. And I'm sorry...Gleason broke his stick. But you basically should strangle Condon instead of letting him skate by you. And Kristo's effort there was sketchy as well knowing The last man was stickless. Just my 2 cents. 2 real darn good teams.
