You can disagree with how these people are expressing their frustration, but the program IS a dumpster fire right now. And I am curious as to how the coaching staff is planning to clean it up.
And when a Niagara player took two extra steps in the 3rd period so he could clobber Kollar, I went absolutely ballistic. If the rules on fighting weren't so strict, I think Mike Commodore would have wiped the ice with him.
I know I don't poke my finger into the child of an opposing fan after my team lost. One of the more ridiculous stories told at the final Hoggsbreath brunch last year.
I also don't trash talk a rival after my team gets shutout. That happened to me following the Goofs losing 3-0 to Colorado College at the 2013 WCHA Final Five.
Are there bad UND fans? Sure there are (one of them got in trouble in Omaha in a playoff series). But I have never dealt with a fan base with more Richard Craniums than Minnesota's Crap on Ice.
I can't speak on Michigan's fans, as I haven't had much interaction with them.
You know that the SEC and ACC will have good years in the future in FB, MBB and WBB. The B1G isn't going to dominate all sports every year.
The women's hockey championship has been dominated by Ohio State and Wisconsin for years now; not exactly breaking news.
I think UND beats Wisconsin; they are better up and down the lineup.
Denver will have a tougher time with Michigan, but they are more than capable of beating them.
Only so much disposable income and free time for people to allocate. I imagine it has a harder time getting attention than UND hockey does in Grand Forks.
