I am not confident in Mikko coming back the player he used to be. finding a center (or two) will definitely be a focal point for Fenton this offseason.

Arizona State plays a series against Minnesota this weekend. With no conference tournament to play for, their next game after March 2nd will be March 29th or 30th. Having rest before the NCAA's is necessarily a bad thing. Wondering how 3 weekends off between games will affect this team. Especially considering it is their first ever NCAA appearance as a program.

Brock is definitely one of the guys Fenton is looking at this off season to bring to Minnesota. Would be a good pickup.

This right here. So sick of KEM thinking she calls the shots at UND. And UND isn't the only University she has done this to (see Sic's UNLV story). I get it. you never want to have any donor, let alone the largest donor UND has ever had, say they are going to stop sending donations. But when they start thinking they have control over who the President is, that is where you need to draw the line. If UND sets a precedence and gets rid of Kennedy becasue of threats from a donor, what else will KEM think she can control here at UND. I say call her bluff. Without donations to UND, she will lose all "Control" she thinks she has at UND. Fire back an email and let her know that if donations stop, the usage agreement with the REA and UND expires at the end of 2019 and UND will take over all control of the REA beginning January 1, 2020. UND will be better off without KEM and the Engelstad Foundation telling UND how to operate.

So you applaud when millionaire heiresses try to use their money and power to influence public institutions? Wow!! So those with the money have the power to control everything. there are countries in the world you can move too that are run like that. But I am guessing you wouldn't like that life too much. Also, lease provide examples of how Kennedy has "pissed the money away" in regards to alumni donations? (Salaries commuting expenses to UNd employees don't fall under alumni donation spending)

UND/USD game will determine the 6 seed for the Summit League Tournament. Winner gets te 6 seed and plays Fort Wayne in the first round.

Bring us to speed on the usage agreement. Isn't that a contract? KEM can make threats that they are cutting off all donations, but is that possible with the usage agreement in place? By ending all donations, wouldn't that make the current contract void and UND would then get ALL profits from the REA?

I have never that the Ralph was built to attract big time D1 programs. It was built to attract the big time recruits, which we can all agree has happened. Playing teams that aren't "big time Division 1 programs" isn't a knock on a team or make them any less of a powerhouse program. Look at Duke basketball's non conference schedule every year. Doesn't seem to hut their reputation.

Of course people would love to see Big 10, Hockey East, or even WCHA schools like Mankato come into the Ralph. But that's not always an option every year. Just the way scheduling works. Sure it's unfortunate we don't have a better non conference schedule, but that's life. Sure, iins against the liked of Canisius and Huntsville don't really help us and loses can really hurt us. bit, if we can't beat the bottom feeders of Atlantic Hockey and the WCHA at home, do we really deserve to make the tournament? As someone stated in a previous post, given the grind that is the NCHC, it's OK to play a few cupcakes that hopefully result in wins to get some confidence heading into the meat grinder that is the NCHC conference schedule.

Keep it simple. 8>2

Hoping for 2 wins Expecting at least 1 win Wouldn't be shocked with 0 wins

53 saves against arguably the best HS hockey team in ND history. #silverlining

Yeah, CHS is good!

FBS games scheduled 9/12/2020 - Kansas State 9/11/2021 - Utah St. 9/3/2022 - Nebraska 9/16/2023 - Washington 8/31/2024 - Iowa St 8/30/2025 - Missouri 9/19/2026 - Nebraska

Newest biggest series of the year this weekend. If somehow we can come out with a sweep of Duluth, that would put this team right back in the mix!!

If Central wins by less than 4 goals this weekend it's going to be an upset. Gonna take a miracle for them not to win it. Might be the best High School hockey team that has ever played in North Dakota. Even as a Red River grad, I have no problem saying it. This years GFC team is just dominant.

Update: https://www.sayanythingblog.com/entry/und-employee-to-be-allowed-to-work-from-texas-got-a-promotion-and-30000-raise-in-november/ When I reached out to UND spokesman David Dodds for more information, he justified this move by claiming that it would be cheaper than hiring a new chief of staff based on regional salary comparisons for that position. “We conducted a search for a Chief of Staff and, as part of the process, learned that such position among higher education institutions in our region and peer group run $185,000 as a median and $225,000 as an average. Some spot checking confirmed those figures,” he told me. Something still doesn't add up here.

Seems odd that we haven't heard any updates about this game for a very long time. I wonder what the hold up is.

It really is a shame that UND didn't renovate Hyslop. The place would have had a fell like Cameron Indoor!! Don't get me wrong, the Betty is great. But I like that notalgic look of the Hyslop with the brick exterior and those big windows!

I always thought they added the "Fighting" to the name in the 60's sometime. Possibly the reason this mural was removed as they added Fighting to the name a few years after this photo was taken. Not saying that is what happened. Just speculation.

Looks like the photo was taken September 25th, 1963. https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/2199252-two-months-he-was-assassinated-dallas-john-f-kennedy-visited-grand-forks

"Something's clearly missing from the front porch of North Dakota campuses: equal opportunity for women athletes. Both universities have programs for women, of course, but the marquee programs are for men. Women don't play collegiate football, and UND killed its women's hockey program two years ago as part of a cost-saving move." Not sure what Jacobs is implying here. Is he saying that there are Title IX violations at BOTH UND and NDSU? Also, is he saying that because women's sports are not "marquee programs" for the university, that women don't have equal opportunity?!!

Schools like RIT, Mercyhurst, and Robert Morris obviously have more of a chance than schools like UND, Denver, and Michigan because they have both men's and women's hockey!!
