The last time UND has lost a first-round playoff series at home was 1996 (2-0 to Wisconsin). I certainly want to keep that streak alive. Before 2002, the last time UND was on the road for the first round was 1995 (2-0 sweep of St. Cloud). Pretty amazing level of consistency.

When has our PP been anything other than a "turd sandwich"? This has been a general gripe on this forum for years (title team or not).

#hotgoalie? Simple question.

I could live with that as well.

How about Bast? He should have to pay rent to sit in the penalty box.

And he just did. Hope these guys like going on the road, because that is where we are headed next weekend.

Bast should sign a lease for the penalty box.

The NCAA needs to implement 4 x 4 10 minute OT periods. Get rid of the 3 x 3 and shootout circus acts.

Shades of Brian Lee!

Comment of the night!

I smell a 10 minute official review.

So would yours if you played against this year's UND squad.

I agree with you on this. Neither topic is acceptable or appropriate here.

Recruiting 13 year olds is very high risk-high reward. Personally, I think it is ridiculous. What's next, having kids commit when they are in squirts?

I am getting sick and tired of reading this sentence with regard to prospective recruits. This has to change. And soon.

You could make this argument to get rid of most collegiate athletic programs. It was the size of the deficit that doomed WH, not that it didn't make money. Most collegiate programs lose money.

But don't you understand? Nothing is on Brew because he isn't the one out there not making the plays! So he gets a pass. Didn't you get the memo? (sarcasm) #seasoninthetoilet

Mods, this thread is drifting into political ideological bloviating. And we all know that never ends well.

I am far from a Denialist and I don't like what has happened to UND's programs this season. But some of your scenarios are a bit too dystopian even for me. I don't think Grand Forks is on its way to depopulating to Fargo and turning "The Metro" into another Minneapolis. You make it sound that way sometimes and that is what rubs people the wrong way. That being said, I appreciate the perspective you bring to this forum and you should have a place here.

If we cannot afford what it takes to be a successful Division I school, then we shouldn't have moved up in the first place. I don't understand why THAT'S so hard to comprehend.

And having a shiny new outdoor stadium had nothing to do with landing recruits? The point UNDvince97-01 is making is that having nice facilities can give you an edge in recruiting.

A fair point. I think the voter pool could be limited to UND alums, current faculty, staff and students; season ticket holders, Champions Club members, etc. That would cut out a lot of the shenanigans.
