The seat is definitely getting warmer for Berry with each bad loss and bad weekend. One other way to look at it is this is just the law of averages sticking its nose in. We were bound to have a down year at some point. We just don't want it to turn into 3 or 5 down years. With all the advantages we have (winning tradition, numerous alums in the NHL, NCAA title two years ago, best facilities in the world), that should not happen. And if it does, I think Berry knows his head will be served up on a platter.

For recruiting the players, of course he should get credit for that.

I didn't say that, but I suppose some people did.

My point is that the recruits people are b!tching about are NOT Berry's, but are Hak's.

This is something that gets lost in the shuffle. Looks like Hak picked the perfect time to leave.

Bubba is definitely on a warm seat for the 2018 season. Whether or not that seat gets warmer or cooler will depend on how we bounce back from 2017, which was an unmitigated disaster.

Okay, it just seems like there has been a lot of talk about commits struggling.

Anyone else a little concerned that a good number of our commits are "struggling in juniors"?

I suspect those numbers will improve drastically this weekend.

I am not optimistic about this team and this season, but I guess we'll find out.

Or we can go after Foles. Everyone knows he has no future in Philadelphia, but he could fill an important position with a team that is very close to winning a title.

I said "if". Beautiful job of selectively reading my comment.

If that is indeed the case, then that is a huge red flag.

The idea of OT is to determine a definite winner and cut down on the number of ties. Going 4 x 4 for 10 minutes would accomplish both goals a lot better than the current setup.

Totally different issue. But nice try.

4 x 4 would result in fewer ties. And it is not nearly as gimmicky as 3 x 3 or the infernal shootout. 5 x 5 would encourage coaches to trap and play for the tie. That is much harder to do with 4 x 4.

The NCAA needs to implement 4 x 4, 10 minute OT for all conferences. Then we can get rid of the shootouts, 3 x 3 gimmicks and whatever else there is.

Hey, why ruin a good b!tch fest?

I will second this.

Don't get me started on that topic!

No offense taken. I just find it hard to believe that almighty Imperial Cass County (Fargo) has that much cash laying around. If they did, they would have gone FBS already. And they will not get a Med School or Law School because the ND Legislature hates "duplication" and "building more buildings". Last time I checked, NDSU was still an NDUS institution.

So a move to the Big 12 in all sports is inevitable? Is an NFL franchise next? #cantmakeitup

I have accepted that already. I am more concerned about the next couple of seasons.

My point is that people are starting to get used to being a mid-NCHC team. I don't ever want to "get used to" this.

It's official. http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/hockey/4394709-nchc-suspends-und-forward-cole-smith-tonights-game-denver Just what we needed, another hole at forward.
