When was the last time you went to the Alerus for an event and there wasn't enough parking?!!

They did. I wonder why they did that? Scheduling conflict at the Alerus possibly?

Omaha and Dakota are also both Indian names!!

Those 'Mutual of Omaha' logos on the front seem a little hostile and abusive to me!! Someone alert the NCAA Political Correctness Police in Indianapolis!!

Question for those of you who have road tripped to Omaha for games. What are some good bars/restaurants to go to down there?

That will deffinitely make it better for fan who want to go out and watch!! Sit on the dike around the rink and watch!!

Seattle population - 620,778 Quebec City population - 516,622

Seattle/Vancouver rivalry would be pretty sweet given the proximity!

Happy hour start a little early for ya today??!!!!

I find it ironic that the winner of "The Greatest Sioux Jersey Ever" contest was probably worn the least of any jersey that was in the tournament....or any jersey in UND hockey history!! I remember then wearing that jersey for a Gopher game...but how many times was it actually worn?? Just ironic that the most popular jersey in this bracket was one of the least worn jersey in Sioux hockey history.

Here is a question...Are they going to sell beer at TD Ameritrade Park next Saturday? I am thinking no...but wondering if anyone knows.

That MacWilliam penalty was a horrible call. Refs did not even see it. They may have caught it out of the corner of their eye, but totally made a reaction call on how the guy was selling it. Funny how Shephard is commenting on this article and he is guilty of calling these bull s#%& dives 5 minute majors all the time!!

Just read that the ice can hold up in temperatures up to 70 degrees!! Looks like the forecast for Omaha should be mid 40's and sunny. Should be a great day for an outdoor game. And, it doesn't look like we have to worry about the ice being an issue due to the warm weather.

I' be there!! Got a group of us driving down. Anyone here of any pregame festivities anywhere??

http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/255112/group/Sports/ As good of a season Corban Knight is having, I think he can pretty much wave by bye to any chance of winning the Hobey Baker this year thanks to his actions with the team earlier this year Unfortunate, because he is a great player on the ice and from what I hear, a great guy off the ice as well. Sure he made a mistake and no doubt feels really bad about it. The fans can vote him into the Hobey Hat Trick, but I doubt the selection committee will give it to Knight after being charged with a Class A Misdemeanor the month before!!

If only there were a way to finally solve all these questions??!! Hmmm....let me think...oh yeah...PLAY THE GAME!!! If NDSU is so confident that they are going to beat UND and blow them out...then schedule the game!! UND want to schedule the game and NDSU does not. Perception is NDSU is worried about losing to UND. Reality is there are logistical reasons why NDSU does not want to schedule this game. Perception often trumps reality in the mids of the general public!!

How dare the Herald print those pictures of the players involved!! They made them look like mug shots!!!

Now imagine if these players were allowed to play and nothing was done to them. And then today we find out about it? Could you imagine what type of media firestorm that would create? Having players committing a crime and not being suspended immediately after it happened? And then having news outlets, University officials, and the public talking about how they weren't suspended, if they should be suspended, should they just wait for their day in court, etc, etc, etc!!! I wonder what that would have looked like?!!!

http://www.uscho.com/rankings/pairwise-rankings/d-i-men/ Looking at the Latest Pairwise rankings, I looked at how future NCHC and Big 10 schools were doing this year. Here's what I found: 2. Minnesota (Big10) 7. W. Michigan (NCHC) 9. St. Cloud (NCHC) 10. N. Dakota (NCHC) 13. Denver (NCHC) t21. Neb. Omaha (NCHC) 23. Wisconsin (Big10) 24. Ohio St. (Big 10) Can someone explain to me how the Big 10 is going to be a better than the NCHC??!!

OH MY GOD!!! I am so sick of hearing about how Furum Communications is in the tank for UND and is out to get NDSU. How they cover up stories that happen to UND athletes and continually reports on a story about NDSU players getting in trouble. How printing player profile pictures used in the game program in the Herald/Forum are some how supposed to be portrayed as mug shots. This is so pathetic!! Both stories in question were reported by the Herald/Forum. The reason why they were covered so differently is because of how each school handled each situation. Sure both were serious offences. One was handled swiftly and decisively. The other dragged their feet and did not punish the players and as a result, created the media scrutiny.

You just used "Bison fans" and "intelligence" in the same sentance!! We forgive you!!

"Wow, what a suprise" - says nobody!!

Do we really have to explain this to you AGAIN to the reasons that UND decided to not play NDSU anymore in 2004? One more time...here are the reasons. 1) UND was still compteing at the D2 level. When it came to the playoffs, only wins against D2 schools counted as wins when being looked at by the NCAA playoff committee. So playing NDSU or any D1 (or even D3 school) would not help and actually could hurt their chances of making the playoffs at the end of the year. This was the main reason UND did not want to play NDSU. 2) As a D1 school, NDSU received more scholarships for their players than UND, a D2 school. So in the minds of UND officials, it was not an even playing field. So those are the two main reasons UND chose not to play NDSU in 2014. Had it been the other way around, NDSU would have done the exact same thing. And you can't deny it.

Get Natural Light to sponser it and call it the "Natty Cup"!!
