I didn't know Brewster was working for Sather as an assistant this year?!?! (sarcasm)

It should have been 8 teams to start with.

I agree with you. I was responding to ND-fan who thinks otherwise.

So in other words, throw in the towel and get ready for permanent mediocrity? Nope, I am not doing that.

So based on this logic, FB should suck all the air out of NDSU's men's basketball program. And SDSU's for that matter. But that isn't the case at all.

On the bright side, I think Sather will turn this around. This season is a total dumpster fire because of COVID-19. I really don't want to judge either BB program until we start playing a regular schedule again.

In other words, get back to what we used to do around here. I am with you 1000%. I warned that this is where we were going as an athletic department over seven years ago, but was told I didn't know what I was talking about. I really hope this isn't the new normal around here.

So this is just like high school then, just go out, have fun and learn life lessons? Nope, I want to be competitive and win games. And it is not as impossible as you like to make it.

.......22 years ago, Ralph Engelstad held a press conference in the "loft" of the then-Ralph Engelstad Arena and announced he was donating $100 million to the University of North Dakota for the construction of a new hockey arena. I cannot believe it has been 22 years. #timeflies https://lasvegassun.com/news/1998/dec/18/engelstad-donates-100-million-to-his-alma-matter/

Just another close, hard-fought game in the NCHC.

At least we don't have to watch Brewster pace up and down the sideline with that pained look on his face. #lookingforsilverlinings

IALTO!!!

This is brilliant. We are saving a long-cherished landmark while upgrading our athletic facilities at the same time and cutting the cost of the upgrades. It's a rare win-win.

How many games did we lose last year? Your takes are usually spot-on, but I think this is a bit of an exaggeration.

When you are playing good teams, that will happen.

Wooger (RIP) and Mazzocco used to do stuff like this all the time. This is a First World Problem, just my 2 cents.

Amen. And a lot of players come here because of those expectations. They want to be part of something special and that is what we have here.

Actually, I think it is good we get both goalies game reps. That way, both of them are ready to step in at any time.

This is an overreaction. We are 3-1-1 in the first 5 games. And that is in the best college hockey conference in the country. Let's wait until the pod is over to judge where this team is or isn't.

I think they'll use the pod format the NCHC is using. It seems to work pretty well.

Let us hope so. I would like to get back to watching games in person.

Their fans are probably planning a parade already. But without non-conference play, who knows who is good and who only looks good.

I believe it was the rust of not playing for so long.

Why do people think their performance against Denver last time was so poor? This is the NCHC, the SEC of College Hockey. Not the Little 7. Every game is a fight for survival.
