My god.... what have we done.

This has to be photo shopped.... and i dont know whats cringier... photoshopping "national runner-up" on a trophy pic or this trophy actually existing. I wonder if St. Clown has a " National 15th runner-up" trophy made up too?

They gargle speedbags.....

Teams left Remaining NHL teams, last Cup: Carolina 2006 - Dirty bastards, hope the sail away. Colorado 2001 - Jost can lift it, I like it Dallas 1999 - NO...rm green still sucks Islanders 1983 - Brock hoisting it Yes Please Columbus never - Interesting story, but meh San Jose never - Dell on cup .. That would be the OKest. St. Louis never - just no, how boring, unless they call up Schmaltz again, then.... maybe. Boston 2011 - boston can chortle my balls after a hot day of cleaning grain bins.

With Shepard back, tough to not give UMD the nod. St. C & DU interchangable 2nd and 3rd UND Western interchangable 4th and 5th Agree bottom 3 interchangeable. Thats my preseason pick as of right now.

I’m sure there are uglier jersey concepts on the planet,.....I’ve never seen one, but the law of averages say that there has to be something worse. but, maybe not.

Yes, this. Its the damn blaring kiddipop at such inappropriate times thatbreally ruin the flow. Announcer has to stick to his script, ots not an attitude thing.

Yeah, how is this still difficult for some to understand? The rules of recruitment are changing. Before the rules change, some commitments are going to take place that maybe wouldn't of, at that age. '03s really are not suprising, at all. Hard to understand why this is so .... hard to understand. Color me shocked if anybody locks up an '05. Although, there are a BUNCH of highly talented legacy kids out there that are '05s too! Actually a huge load of legacy kids in the '05 to '08 years right now.

Grimaldi's name is just all over the place tonight. Sadly.... it wont be called anymore this year.

Although see the the exploding triggered heads of the denim overall clad brethren to the south would be enjoyable.... There is possibly nothing in the world of sports as overdone, stale, and cringy as yet another team using thunderstruck pregame.

This is the third time Oshie has been injured by dirty disgusting plays that resulted in ZERO supplement disipline. DOPS guys must have played against him in college or something. Id me lividly wildly irate if that kept happening to me.

Oshie injured badly by a dirty dangerous slash boarding play tonight. Sounds like his season is very much done.

I'm sure its not getting cheaper. I'll admit i dont know how it works for setup, if its in the rafters type equipment or centrally located in scoreboard. I know last year Jody was on the podcast and said about a million bucks. Thats a lot of money, and hard to measure a ROI id imagine.

Not likley, I like how they've tried to be a little interactive on the Nodak nation app. At least its an attempt, I dont have the answer on how to merge the ice action and atmosphere with interactive app. If i did i probably wouldnt be here yapping with you peasants.. thats a joke btw. How about student prizes for on ice performance... A goal...... 20 students who are logged in on App and checked in to arena randomly win get a free tostada, or a bud light? Kill a PP 15 winners... win a faceoff a random winner.

Good mix I guess, the puzzler isnthose that chit chat right through the second and maybe maken t back to their seats with 5 or 6 left in the third. It seems like the stadium... and avtion is asleep during that time.

Thats a great point. Seriously, how can we find a bettrr balance between corporate and social "Be seenism" and interested hockey fans. Maybe we can't... Maybe we arent as numerous or as Hockey loving as we like to portray. When I was thinking about this thebother day with a buddy, When was the last time you had "FUN" at a UND game, and more specifically at the REA?. '16... '11?... at the old arena? ... Its an interesting queation, thats where I'd like the thread to go.

We all understand your opinion, you're the one who came here again and chastised people for not falling into a goosestepping love afair with a logo. Ill help you understand this... Attendence issues at the Alerus is not because there ISNT a sioux logo and Sioux chants. Thats not the problem with why football games are largely unenjoyable. We could really have another thread. What would make the Alerus more Fun for football. What is going to make the students want to put down their phones and engage, whats going to make the alums want to watch the game instead of chitchat in the concourse and bar? I hate when I cant get back to my seat when everyone is stopping and to talk all the time as my hands are full of tostadas and pizza, and beer, and steak sandwich and more beer. Get out of thebway dammit, we got hockey going on out here. Its probably just winning in reality, but its interesting to find new ways others are entertained elsewhere. Its not interesting to read your broken record bitchfestiness again and again and again and again and again and again.........

Squabbling about the logo in GF is NOT a common factor in the nationwide ambivalent attitude toward athletic attendence. Thats the reality. Seeing how UMtc is trying to at least make some changes to help their situation, and the ammenities being upgraded at the REA, are just that changes. Do they help? Not as much as winning i guess. I actually predict a surge in demand early next season as the MUST thing in GF will be being able to discuss the "new huge scoreboard" socially. .. .Next on Real housewifes of GF... "Did you see how big that new scoreboard is?" " You really cant understand how big it is unless youve been to game and seen it in person, like me, I was there" "Even if your there it just doesnt cut it in the stands, you really need to be in a suite to appreciate it, like Inwas last weekend". It will be the social event of the fall next season.

I know who I want to go away. Amazing how "ALL 3" come out of the woodwork at the same time, every time, to derail every thread and chastise everyone for not falling in line with the leaders message. "All 3"... almost like.... there's only the one mind, with the same one thought, with the same way of saying it..... Your opinion is noted. Its dismissed as lunatic ranting, but noted. College athletics fan participation is not challenged nationwide because you dont see a little birdy enough in GF. Inovative ways to engage fans are evolving, its interesting to hear what people have experienced in other arenas. The birdy is never going to do what winning will do or what more accomodations to the students will or what inovative arena experiences will. You will just continue to expose and drive the wedge further between: you "3" and the rest of the world that is sick of the self righteous hatred you project on them.

This is a top 5 NEEDS TO HAPPEN in my opinion. 1. On ice projection 2. Silence the blaring stoppage music 3. Move the students

Instead of only white and green. what about a grey or cream based sweater for a third? And for the sake of all that is holy stay away from black for a good decade. The biggest question is what to do about the front... Regardless I believe the final design must be close to being put into production.

Just one thread Lord, Just one thread without the Hawkzi Kabal of Our Lady of a Delusional Dream, hijaking it into a fire and brimstone tounge lashing for not falling into line with the demands of the their devine minority. In the name of all that holy, Amen.

Agreed.

Big ones here all very good ideas... Yes the on ice is one thing i really would like to see, its very important. If a repaired relationship is going to exist after MK slithers out of town, Id like to see the one ice projection as the symbol of good faith moving forward.

Yawn... yeah that'll work. Force something the customers dont want on them further. Good businees stategy. Its working for the B1G tho.... Now on to some realistic solutions.
