I trust that you are joking.

Just another reason to cheer against them in the WJC.

What's next then? They'll want our players for a month before the tournament? Where do you draw the line? Nowhere?

As long as they are both back in January, that is all that really matters.

You mean Stream Yellow, don't you?

Yes, they beat FU by 18 points. But there is a lot of season left to go.

Just keep making your snide remarks while you can. Regardless of what happened last Saturday, the long-term prognosis for UND FB is looking very good.

Seriously though, that would be so cool!

And Bubba and his staff are working on that one 24/7/365!

I agree with you, but the long-term prognosis is UP, UP, UP. Try to focus on that.

Yeah, same here.

It WAS God-awful hockey; according to their poster they have changed.

I actually prefer playing teams like this vs. the clutch-grab-blocking-tackling teams. The action flows back and forth and is very fun to watch.

Based on some of the stories I read and/or hear about, the major problem in youth sports isn't the kids, it's the parents and (sometimes) the coaches. This story doesn't surprise me in the least.

I think that was the game when Ann Just hit a 3 pointer at the buzzer. It was the season before our first NCAA title.

So what you are saying is that it just isn't realistic? Or feasible?

I would like us to take steps in that direction. We just seem to underachieve too much.

Yeah, I like your version better.

Yeah, because it's all about keeping more of the gate. Building a solid mid-major program just isn't economically feasible.

Yeah, because our climate is just too cold to build a solid, consistent team.

We need to develop a mentality that when teams come to the Alerus Center, we win and they lose, no matter how good they are.

No, based on the past couple of years. We went to the NCAA tournament one year with some of Roebuck's leftover players and we have been average to slightly above average ever since. I seem to be hearing this every time we lose a game. "Well, this loss will make us better." "Well, that loss made us a better team.". "Well, we couldn't expect to win this game against this team, but this will make us better." We are racking up the moral victories. What we should ask ourselves is, why aren't we more like SDSU? Why aren't we making more strides from year to year? I am not calling for a coaching change; I am just noticing a pattern from year to year with this team and it is a little frustrating.

Anyone else feel like this will be another average year for WBB?

That is a cheap shot. Siouxperfan7 is one of the biggest supporters of all our programs and is also a friend of mine. Try to keep it classy, will you?

All he did is talk about what we lose. He could have talked about what we have coming in or players we should keep an eye on once Spring ball starts up.
