Idalski is 100% to blame for the initial reaction from players. I don't doubt the stories of players getting emotional because the program was cut are real. Idalski knew for a fact the program was (excuse the pun) on this ice and that the chances of it being cut were overwhelming. And that may have been his plan all along. To make the admiration look bad by keeping his players in the dark about what could happen, practicing and bringing a recruit in the very day they cut the program. You can blame the UND administration all you want, but the initial backlash from players players is ALL on him.

When cancel culture inevitably comes after the Ralph and forces them to take down the Engelstad statue, they can just replace it with Salty Mike to great you as you walk in the front door!!

Thank you Hunter for being an inspiration to us all.

15 seats towards the top of section 215 at the 50 yard line just became available. These weren’t available yesterday. This is for the Bison game in Oct 2nd

Not many tickets left for the Bison game. My guess it will be sold out by the weekend. Maybe tomorrow. Who knows.

The presale code was inevitably going to get out. Bison fans now have it. No need to keep it a secret from Hawk fans. Buy these up and keep those farm boys out of the Al!!

Here is where we sit as of right now for ticket availability for the Bison game.

Fighting Hawks looking really good by comparison!!

Got a chance to go to practice today. Here were some of the main things I noticed: 1. Tommy Schuster is going to be the starter this year. Other QB’s on roster are good, but Tommy looks the best. 2. Romfo looks like he’s going to be good, but man he looks so small out there. Even shorter than Tommy!! 3. Continuing with QB’s, I was really impressed with Feeney. Throws a great ball. Especially deep ball. Our depth at QB is the deepest We have had in years. Will be interesting to see how they use Quincy this year as well. 4. Boltman is as close to 100% as he has probably been in a long time. I think he starts week one. No question. 5. Waletzko is a beast. He is so big and so strong and so goon. Definitely deserving of his preseason accolades. 6. Stating the obvious, but Otis is a stud. Kid has tree trunks for legs!! So strong and so fast. And he is having the most fun out of any guy out there. He’s gonna be fun to watch. (Side note, also a really nice guy. My son really wanted to meet him after and he was nice enough to talk to him and take a picture. My son definitely has a new favorite player)

US is 5 behind China in gold medals. US plays for the gold in women's water polo, baseball, men's basketball, and women's basketball. Not sure about other sports. So gonna be close.

The 2 Covino brothers who own Seaquest have been nailed several times smuggling and poaching animals. Specifically sharks. One has been banned by a federal judge from ever dealing with animals again. One had emails leaked after physically threatening harm to employees who reported animal abuse to authorities. Most recently they got nailed in Florida for illegally catching and smuggling endangered sharks out. There are also several stories of charges they have faces at their facilities for animal neglect and cruelty. All this info isn't conspiracy. Quick google search of these guys will tell you all you need to know. The fact that the majority of the City Council thinks it would be a good idea to bring these guys into our city to open a facility that will likely have these same issues is beyond irresponsible.

Expedition League looking for input on naming Grand Forks team https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/baseball/7136583-Expedition-League-looking-for-input-on-naming-Grand-Forks-team "League officials ask those interested in submitting suggestions for a new team name to email grandforks2022@gmail.com." So......will they consider all names submitted? Like, I don't know, names used by sports team in Grand Forks in the past.....

I mean, It's not horrible!!

Things are definitely back to normal now. Siouxsports threads are talking about nicknames and logos again!!

Also, what's it gonna take to get a UND hockey jersey on the Statue of Liberty?!!

Would be great to see pregame festivities like they had at the Orleans in the plaza in front of T Mobile.

I think that if you don't have a Champions club membership, and you are online the morning they go on sale to the general public, you shouldn't have problem getting tickets. But, if you want to pretty much guarantee you get tickets, and get better seats, why not pay the $200 for a membership. You could piss away 200 bucks in 10 minutes in Vegas. At least this way you are getting something in return!!

With a successful expansion draft and playing in a division where 5 of the other 7 teams in the Pacific division finished with a losing record, Seattle should have a good chance of being a pretty decent team next year. Great spot for Hak to step into.
