Just keep winning. The rest will take care of itself.

That would be great exposure for the rivalry and both programs.

Considering these kids have been listening to people like Don Cherry trash college hockey their entire lives, this does not surprise me.

The NFL should look into whether McCarthy was legitimately injured and couldn't play and wasn't on the injury report so they could bench him without actually benching him. The Patriots got into trouble for playing games with the injury reports in the mid 2000's.

And all of a sudden, with Wentz on the shelf, J.J. is available to play again! How convenient! Brosmer should have gotten a chance to start vs. the Chargers. I don't think he could have done any worse than Wentz did

I think @Goon was talking about the rubes that follow the DU program.

And I am proud to have GDS!

Friday night was an unmitigated disaster. That being said, it's still October and this team is still figuring itself out.

Vikings force a turnover and are in the Red Zone.

But Schloss didn't tell us the most important stat of all: What were the xG numbers for those games?

If the refs are going to call the game like they did last weekend the rest of the season, we'll have to dial down the physicality for everyone. That is a concern going forward.

Hockey has never aligned very well with the other sports (B1G is a rare exception). I think the most realistic scenario is the 4 Dakota schools and the 2 Montana schools teaming up to form an FBS conference (along with a couple of other schools) which would also feature basketball and other olympic sports.

As long as we don't lose them to NDSU-CKS or another FCS program, I could swallow it. But if it comes down to UND or Miami (OH), I like our chances. Miami's FB program may be worse than their hockey program and that's saying something.

I think this is a young team that is still learning how to work together. The young guys need to understand that when you win on Friday, the other team will do everything they can to avoid getting swept on Saturday. Some lessons need to be learned the hard way.

Let's give them something to boo about!

People are still skittish after several years of lethargic play by the team. Similar to FB; people are still skittish about that team despite the fact that new management is in place. I think people should not overreact to the negative results of one game, especially in October. Let's see how this plays out.

Sandy is too old now. He's close to retirement.

Don't get @gfhockey started on that again. 😂

I am hearing some of the same things found on the FB threads this year (it's still Bubba Ball). 🙄 The Goofs played a more complete and disciplined game compared to Friday night (which I fully expected) and our relatively young team wasn't ready for it. Sometimes players have to learn these lessons the hard way; telling them isn't always enough. This team is also still learning how to play together; we had a lot of turnover from last season. So I am not going to overreact to last night's debacle. Having said that, there is no reason the coaches cannot sit players for performance reasons (Strinden) given the tremendous depth we have. I understand that we all have PTSD after the past 5 seasons or so, but I will reserve judgement on this team for now.

A lot of things were tonight. Learn from it and get better.

The young guys need to understand that when you beat a team on Friday night, that team will come out harder on Saturday night to avoid getting swept. Lesson learned (I hope). This loss is way less damaging than Denver's loss last night to Lindenwood.

Does anyone else think the puck is bouncing on the ice more than usual this weekend?

I figured the Goofs would come out and play hard to avoid getting swept. We'll have to step up a notch or two in the next 40 minutes.
