Another puff piece by the Herald's Tom Miller: http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-basketball/3642827-tom-miller-mixed-results-Marquette So we are into moral victories now? Really Tom? Considering this program's abysmal road record during the Jones regime, I will believe it when I see it.

Hasn't there been talk of St. Thomas moving their programs up to D-II or D-I? And is any of that serious?

Merry Christmas to everyone and a Happy New Year!

I could imagine a 1-11 record in 2014 under Muss and company, with that one win being against Valpo at home (and being much closer than it should be). But that didn't happen and we are now on the right track with Bubba.

Isn't RPI a little suspect this time of year because of a small sample size?

Just proves once again that hockey is a team game and dropping a quarter of a billion $$$ on two guys (no matter how talented) won't get you over the hump. They need to keep doing what they have been doing; drafting and developing more talent in-house and then calling them up when they are ready for the big leagues. I do think if they stick with the plan, it will bear fruit.

Evers is such a huge part of this team's success. Once she gets back to 100%, we'll be fine.

I think Kelley needs to be "kicked out" of a lot more things than this.

Exactly. One of the purposes of having a B1G hockey conference is to maximize TV and other revenues amongst B1G schools. Why would they allow an "outsider" in the door?

I guess he was looking up trying to figure out who did it. In the end, it all worked out. We need to get back to this level of excitement.

You, my friend, need to work on your sarcasm.

I like the make-up of this year's team.

Here is the article in today's Grand Forks Herald: http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-basketball/3640332-mens-basketball-marquette-comes-back-beat-und Direct quote from Brian Jones: All that is missing from that statement is "toe to toe", then you couldn't tell the difference between Jones and Muss.

And don't forget the stand-by excuses of "transition" and "nickname".

As for recruiting, I think we are in a dead period so the news will be sparse for the time being.

You would think so darell1976, but it's never quite that easy, is it?

Bungles (opps, I mean Bengals) pull it out 37-28. Manning with 4 INTs!

And this ladies and gentleman is what passes for success at UND in 2014.

Bungles were up 27-7 over the Broncos early in the 2nd half.....now they are down 28-27 early in the 4th quarter and the Broncos have the ball again.

If Gunther was coaching, we would have to forfeit because the players we have don't know how to play team defense and Gunther wouldn't want to put them out there!

Set. Match. Point.

You might be asking too much. UND down by 11 with a little over 6 minutes left. Well, that was fun while it lasted.

I must say I am pleasantly surprised at what I am seeing tonight. Whether they can finish the job remains to be seen, but I was thinking another blowout road loss.
