I'm still not tipping my cap to them, they don't deserve it. Last time we won a hockey national title, copies of the Grand Forks Herald in Imperial Cass County were turned facing backwards because the front page had the team photo with the trophy. So screw them. And all those UND alums that have jumped on the bandwagon to "be a part of it", enjoy yourselves. But please don't bother coming back to us. UND is almost completely irrelevant in the region now. Bad programs up and down the line. No buzz. No nothing. And too many people have become desensitized to it. If our hockey program misses the national tournament again, watch people on here respond with #butthepenrose. It's enough to make me sick.

So are we just wasting our time trying to compete?

Agreed.

For regular season games: Go to 4 x 4 for 10 minutes If the game is still tied, then it goes down as a tie. No more infernal shootouts; they should be banned from the game. And no, 4 x 4 is not the same as 3 x 3. It's not even close to the same thing. Too many gimmicks and too much overthinking in the game today.

Ohio State looks to be the best of the teams left.

I remember when we could expect victories more often than not. Who are we better than? Miami?

That won't help us that much.

Finland doing whatever they want, whenever they want. This game may be out of reach before the end of the second period.

If he gets as excited about great accomplishments by UND teams as he does NDSU teams, then he's being consistent and I won't have a problem with him.

Feeney will go to one of them. Romfo will sign with the other one.

My point stands. If Armstrong is at an NDSU basketball home game while we are playing for an FCS title, it will be clear which side of his bread has butter on it.

When (not if) UND makes it to Frisco, we'll see how enthusiastic Armstrong is about it.

Then USA Hockey should ask that all Major Junior players be banned as well. Neither one is going to happen.

It's put up or shut up time. Berry is definitely coaching for a contract extension.

This isn't high school. Schmidt has to put the long-term health and vitality of the program first. That means upgrading the talent level as quickly as possible. I think Schmidt has sold his vision for the program to the players he wants to retain. The others will inevitably move on to more suitable homes.

Cripes, more freaking injuries. We've had a couple of season's worth of injuries already.

Chaves needs to go. Then his replacement needs to get rid of both basketball coaches. Time to start acting like a Division 1 school.

Chaves needs to go. One of the worst hiring track records of any AD ever.

This would be the biggest change since they made freshmen eligible.

I was talking more about being a head coach and calling the defense. The head coaching job has a lot of administrative and oversight duties. I am wondering if Schmidt is spreading himself too thin.

I think that is too much for the head coach. We'll see how it works.

Agree 100%. This whole thing is unsustainable in the long-run.

The #1 priority for Schmidt now is making this team better. Grudges will have to be set aside.

At some point, Sather has to deliver or step aside and allow someone else to take over.

I think falling behind 34 points was probably disappointing. Ohio State is not 34 points better than Oregon.
