I have never cared how many other offers a commit gets. Others on here think it is a huge indicator of recruiting success or failure. Ultimately, it's the results on game day that matter.

The truth is, we won't know if this class is "loaded" or not for a few years.

I wonder if the new facilities coming online in the next few years had anything to do with this.

Developing offensive depth across four lines will make it harder for teams to shut us down.

Cripes, did you have to bring that Jersey Shore crap up here?

Exactly. The Tommies followed the rules as laid out by the CCHA. Now the CCHA is complaining about it! They should just let it go and move on.

I sense political thread drift. Moderators?

KEM is not an honest broker. Buyer beware.

Anyone who shoots a puppy in the face is a low form of life. Not a political comment, just a basic decency comment.

That stipulation makes sense.

They probably refused to put her name on a building.

Important point: The NCHC never played with a 6 team schedule. This "Original 6" talk is silly.

Semantics aside, what would you do? Get rid of two schools and go down to 6? That puts us at the absolute minimum number of schools to be a conference. I say give Miami their walking papers (they are looking to get out on their own) and add Mankato.

You mean original 8. This isn't the 1960's NHL.

They are a sleeping giant who will wake up in the next 5 years. They are an asset which will increase in value over time. It is always better to acquire an asset before it increases in value. Which school would have been a better choice? Bemidji?

Even if this happens (not saying it will), Brad Berry will continue getting contract extensions. Because it's the UND way.

I agree 1000%. Set up a rotation and switch it up every two years or so.

YES!!!! Great move for the NCHC and great move for St. Thomas!!!

They hate you because they ain't you!

If Bally Sports goes belly-up for good, that won't be an option either. It's only a matter of time.

So it's a symptom of a larger problem? Makes sense.

Yeah, that's a great idea. I wonder if Hornbachers would still have a problem with it? (sarcasm)

A major national brand? What's next, Wal-Mart?

Truth be told, all preseason rankings are worthless. Nobody knows which teams will underachieve and/or overachieve. We won't have a good sense of that until 3 to 4 weeks into the season.

Weah without the baggage? I'll take that.
