And we all know that there was little enthusiasm from the NDSU students that night because as we all know, NDSU is a "Football Only" school. So everything that is not football, students and fans don't really care about

We get it. football is bigger than hockey. NDSU is better than UND. NDSU has better teams, fans, conference, etc. You're the best, we're the worst. How many ways can you word a post in multiple topics to tell everyone that. We get your point!! Agree to disagree and move on.

This just in...Mankato, Augustana, and Morningside are looking to join the Summit!!!! www.thesummitisthenewhomeofthencc.com

Not complaining here. Gophers played great on Sunday and deserve to be in the Frozen 4. Not making excuses for our loss. But saying that the Gophers don't have an advantage playing a regional in St Paul over anyone else who was there is rediculous!! True UND has played more games there recently, but the X is less than 10 miles from Minnesota's campus. Gophers get to practice in their own rink, sleep in their own beds, they have 70% of the fans in the building cheering for them. That is why it is an advantage. Lucia can say all sorts of things about it not being hoe ice advantage....but sorry it is.

But how many trips did you make to Summit cities for sports like basketball? You said you "enjoyed getting in the car to watch some games." Tell us, where in the Summit League did you go? Did you road trip to Fort Wayne, IN? Tulsa, OK? Kansas City, MO? That is what all these Bison fans keep telling us...that the travel in the Summit is so much better and that they are able to go to road games? Well....where have you been?

In regards to NDSU joining the Big Sky: The Big Sky Conference to NDSU is like the girl you first fell in love with in high school. Really attractive right away, couldn't stop talking about her. For a long time you talked about how great she was and how you wanted to be with her. You asker her out a few times but she consistently rejected you. When the girl told you she didn't like you, you went on to a different girl (Summit). You have been with the new girl for a few years and you are fully commited to her. But then you see your classmate (UND), you you can't stand, start dating your initial cursh (Big Sky). You really don't think anything of it because you are with your new girl who likes you and accepts you. But then your new girl starts to put on some weight (USD, Neb-Omaha) and doesn't look that attractive than they used too. But you don't do anything becasue you have conviced yourself you are happy. Then a couple years later after you have settled down with your (Summit) girl, you see your buddy with the (Big Sky) girl that you initially wanted and she is looking really good. In a way your are a little jealous. You see your buddy going on all sorts of great dates (Sacramento, Missoula, Boseman) and you are stuck going to dive restaurants for dates (Brookings, Vermillion). Buy somehow you convince yourself that you never really wanted that girl and you are happy with yours. So for the rest of your life you (NDSU) will tell everyone that you see that your overweight, missing teeth, poorly aged love of your life is the one you want to be with instead of your buddy's (UND) supermodel wife that you initially wanted so bad. And a side note, your buddy has a great looking child (Hockey) that excells in everything he does, makes the honor roll, and is consistently doing great things year in and year out. Your buddy is very proud of his kid. But instead of respecting that, you decide yo rip on the kid at ever chance you get, telling him he is underachieving all the time, even though you don't even have a kid (Hockey).

I kinda like what you got here. Only thing that I would change would be having the "Great 8" tournament the weekend directly after the first round games. Also, putting a day off from the semifinals to the Finals. So if it were this year, you would have the first round games this last weekend, then you would have the quarterfinals this Thursday, Semifinals Friday, and then take Saturday off and have the Championship on Sunday. This way you can avoid the week layoff and the loss of excitement without having to compete with the Basketball Final 4. Just piggy backing off ksixpack's idea...just a thought.

The gophers were definitely a better team tonight. They deserve to be in Tampa. Great season for our boys. With the amount of injuries we indured this year, and the way we started the season, they should be proud of the season they had. We have great things to look forward to next season. Dell will be in net, top line coming back, and Grimaldi and hopefully St. Claire will be returning. Tough loss today, but this team has nothing to be hanging their heads about. Made a great second half run. And hey, we took home a little hardware this season. Great season boys. Looking forward to next year for another great season.

Uh oh...Matvick just said "Fighting Sioux"!!! The phones to Indianapolis are ringing off the hook!!

Hopefully we will get to see what the green ones look like this year!!

NDSCS v. Dakota College of Bottineau

USC / Notre Dame in football

No kidding. And the fact is they had their green road jerseys that just say "North Dakota" since the beginning of the season!! Not sure why they couldn't take a picture before practice one day to get that in the program. First NCAA playoff game for our womens team and they were not even in the program. Unfortunate to say the least.

Why is it that about 5 minutes after they announced the Fargodome was getting new turf, there was a press conference with a picture showing what it would look like. Its been months since they announced the Alerus was getting new turf and we haven't seen any pictures. What gives? Must be locked up in the same safe that the playoff hockey jerseys are in!!

Yeah.....probably not worth it!!

The NCAA said Florida State had to get the Seminole tribe in Florida to approve the name. They did. So the NCAA approves it. The NCAA said that UND had to get both Sioux tribes in North Dakota to approve the name. They both did not. So the NCAA doesn't approve. What ;s not to get? I am ot trying to defend the NCAA on this, but the facts are the facts. Had we gotten approval from both tribes, the team would be wearing their Sioux jerseys this weekend with the name and logo on it. If anyone brings that sign, they will look pretty dumb, in my opinion. UND had their window of opportunity, but they didn't succeed. I get it. Most other logical people do to.

You listed 4 chain restaurants as better buyers than JL Beers!! That's just crazy! JL wipes the floor with any of those places any day!!

Did they get a new banner for "NCAA tournament wins" this year to tour last years accomplishment to go next to their "Tournament appearences banner?!!

Bow up a picture of google maps giving directions from Mariucci to the Xcel. and have something like "Directtions" or "in case you forgot the way" on it!

Typically the only mid major schools that get invited to the NIT are those that done their conference regular season championship, but did not win their conference tournament championship. (Oral Roberts for example).

any update on the score?

What about the green ones? Still want to see those at home and have the black be alternate. Maybe use them for big games like game a ginast Montana and (we can all hope) NDSU!

If Montana wins tonight, we will have beaten 2 NCAA Tournament teams this year. Pretty sure that has never happened!! Not a bad feather to add to our cap for this season!!

Its all about the Benjamins at the Final 5. that is why there is the "Minnesota rule" They get the night games because they want miximum attendance. I think that there is an unoffical "North Dakota rule" where the WCHA would want to maximize attendance an viwership for UND since they have the second biggest following at the Final 5 behind Minnesota (when they are there). So I guess I would assume that they would move the UND game to the night game, but who knows.

These Democratic leaders visiting the Alerus are jinxing our team!! They are bad luck!! The 4 years prior to Obama and Hillary visiting the Alerus, our football team was 42-10. Since they were there, our football team is 23-20. This is no coincidence. Who knows what kind of damage having Slick Willy in the Alerus will do to our team!!
