Studsrud reminds me a little of Kelby Klosterman, one of the best pure athletes we have ever had at QB.

Doesn't make sense to me. What is the difference?

But UND could replay the title game at the victory gathering last Monday?

You missed the at the end of the message. I was being a smart-a$$.

That must really burn up the CHL zealots! A Canadian kid finding a path to success through *gasp* U.S. College Hockey!?!? I imagine TSN is getting some flak for publishing the story at all. The butt-hurt is strong with them, isn't it?

I'll believe it when the Heraldo or WDAZ reports it.

He can't use the "one and done" excuse this time, either.

Somehow, I don't think that will be a problem this time. The Capitals are dialed in this year.

Not yet. I imagine they are coming soon.

I believe this national championship in hockey marks the beginning of a new Golden Age of UND athletics. FB will soon be challenging for conference and national titles, WBB will get back to the NCAA tournament, WH will get over the hump and start making appearances in the Women's Frozen Four and MH will continue doing what they are doing right now. As for MBB, if Jones doesn't take us to the top of the Big Sky Conference, then we'll find someone that will. I could be wrong about all this, but it is amazing what hanging #8 can do for confidence and expectations. And I think that is a rising tide that will lift all boats.

This guy talks like NDSU is FBS in football and could beat Alabama. This is exactly the type of garbage we have had shoved in our faces for 5+ years now. And that is why I am rubbing their noses in this championship every chance I get. Karma and paybacks are a b!tch.

Troy Riedlinger of Grand Forks, ND. Here is the original discussion thread on the subject.

I think that adds up to Dallas in 4 or 5 games.

It is amazing that a team can pick high in the 1st round every year and still not get any better. Are they picking the wrong kids? Are they not developing them properly? I can't figure that one out.

Yeah, I thought this program was big on going to class and getting good grades?

Using this logic, MBB at NDSU should struggle as well because of the the presence of FB as the flagship sport on campus. But that isn't true, is it?

Agree 100%. Like anything else, you have to spend money to buy whiskey. You can't build something like MBB using pocket change that has fallen between the couch cushions.

As is NDSU. And they seem to have no problem putting a competitive MBB team on the court year in and year out. Unless you think NDSU is rolling in money and we aren't.

I have to say I agree with you.

Couldn't agree with you more. Well said.

Possibly. But I think the biggest factors will remain what kind of offers they get and if they think they are ready to make the jump.

Sounds like we have conflicting accounts on this. I am deleting my original comment.

That could bite NDSU in the backside at some point in the future.
