I am still in somewhat of a wait and see mode with this team, but I kind of feel the same. Just keep getting better week in and week out and we'll have a second chance in the playoffs.

If we run the table, we won't have to worry about it. #justwinbaby

There is a difference between a selection committee and a media and/or coaches poll. #applesandoranges

Like I said, just win baby.

Polls mean jack squat. Just win baby.

Exactly. If you want to complain about something, complain about hockey and their 1 goal per game average offense. For at least one weekend, football was the bright spot for UND athletics. #enjoythewins

It's early in the season, so regardless of what happens tonight (or Saturday night), we need to resist the temptation to dust off this thing.

Nice to see people are giving up after one exhibition game. It's freaking October. I won't pass any judgments on this team until December or January. This is a marathon......not a sprint.

Back in 2003, Aerosmith and KISS performed at the Alerus Center on the same night of Game 2 of the UND-Minnesota hockey series. And both events did well.

While I agree with you on FB being treated like a red-headed step-child and that the hockey-only crowd is bad for UND as a whole, I don't think comments like this help anyone. I have season tickets to both FB and MH, so I support both 1000%. Come on man!

If we finish above NDSU, that will be an accomplishment. #notoptimistic

I think you meant...

IALTO!!!

While you are correct in pointing out that we beat a bad team today and that Montana will be much tougher, I think we should enjoy this win nonetheless.

Only in your imagination.

Careful or you'll be accused of "hating hockey" (sarcasm)

He's running for the U.S. House of Representatives. So every day from now to November 6th is a campaign day.

That is what 10 years of mediocrity, embarrassing home losses and waiting for the next shoe to drop will get you. The way I see it, either we come up with the resources to make all of our programs good (and sometimes great), or we don't belong at D-I in the first place.

I would argue hockey has become just this since 2001.

You know things are bad when I agree with you on something. #whenitrains

The question is, will DiLorenzo and Kennedy let him execute those big plans? They seem to want to run everything themselves.

I brought this up in another thread awhile back (the KEM-Kennedy thread) and was told I didn't know what I was talking about.

This is basically an argument to 1) Drop FB or 2) Drop back down to D-II and join the NSIC. No thank you. The idea that having a solid, all-around athletic department will somehow "kill the goose that lays the golden eggs" is pure nonsense and not supported by any facts (alternative or otherwise). A solid, all-around athletic department will lift all programs to greater things. And I hope Chaves has a plan to get us there. #sickofmediocrity

Something that people need to keep in mind. Chaves didn't hire any of the coaches at UND right now. None of them. He owes them nothing and all of them should consider themselves on notice. Produce or you are gone. I am sick and tired of NDSU getting all the good press while we spin our wheels and look bad doing it. It's put up or shut up time for Bubba, Jones and Brewster.

I guess we'll have to wait for the season to unfold to answer those questions. I still think beating SHSU in their house was a big win. We just need to figure out how to follow it up with more wins.
