I think you have it about right.

Once upon a time, there were two head coaches at the University of North Dakota that always spoke their minds and told it like it was. One coached men's hockey. The other coached women's basketball. One was named Dean Blais. The other was named Gene Roebuck. Does that answer your question? Here's a drinking game for you: Every time Berry says "At the end of the day....." in the post-game interview, take a shot of Jack Daniels. Just make sure you don't have to drive afterwards. I guess that sums up my feelings on this.

Freund?

I also am tired of the cliches and boilerplate talking points.

I think the combination of the FB disaster in Fargo and the debacle that night in REA was too much for a lot of people.

It's 30+ years old.

The new facilities coming online soon will help in this area. But the question is, will the coaching staff get the most out of them? And will they know how to use them?

I wish both of them the best.

Good point, but I think the ultimate decision-maker is Armacost. If the President of UND made a commitment to excellence in athletics and held Chaves and the coaches accountable for their performance (or lack thereof), I think you would see some positive changes.

I could say the same thing about your team and SDSU.

I get what you are saying, but that means in order to induce change at the top of the FB program, the die-hard and loyal supporters need to stop going to games? I am all for making sacrifices that will pay off in the future, but it is insane that it comes to that.

And hockey didn't exactly light the world on fire last night either.

This isn't LSSU or Northern Michigan. We don't "temper expectations" here, we rise to meet them. This whole athletic department "tempers expectations" across the board, which is why we underachive in everything.

And yet, we keep giving him contract extensions. How long are we supposed to wait for this program to "turn the corner"?

What a horrible weekend for UND athletics.

So as long as we çan beat everyone else, you don't mind losing to the xDSUs? If our goal as a program isn’t to compete for and win FCS titles, we aren't doing it right. You are making @UND-FB-FAN's point. Enough of the excuses and alibis.

Middle of second period.

Shutout is broken.

The fact that it's an exhibition is the only good thing about tonight.

You really think we won 26 games last year because of two players? This is a team game.

Offensive talent doesn't matter if it doesn't show up.

It's obvious that one of these teams cares more about winning this game than the other. This is our mulligan. The season starts for real next week. They better show up.

I think Hennessy said they changed goalies this period.
