    2026 UND Football Season Thread

    Sometimes you know kids on different teams. I always will be a UND fan but will temporarily cheer for other teams when not playing UND when I have a personal connection to kids on them. 
    I know many kids who have played for competitors. Seems completely natural to me 

    As someone that has two degrees from UND, my loyalties lie with UND. I can't under any circumstance(s) cheer for NDSU, Minnesota, Wisconsin, or DU in any sport.

    She was a broadcast journalism student at St Cloud, I vaguely remember her working for their student run production company for some games against UND.

    Agreed about her skill level, St Thomas should be reaching out. 

    I remember talking to Taylor at the NCHC games at Target Center, and you could tell she was an up-and-coming talent. Her leaving is a loss for UND. She's an outstanding person and we will soon find out how much we miss her.

    Terrestrial AM radio has better reach than Flo Hockey. Bad idea.  

    I don't know a lot of people that are going to pay a bunch of money for Flosports. I purchase it because I get the dirt track racing on it, but I seen a lot of people grumbling about the cost, which is about $180 a year. ESPN might not be ideal, but I get it free with my DirecTV subscription.

    I’m no expert but just using the eye test having watched him play quite a bit, he’s a solid player. Will he put up 20-30 goals? -Probably not but he has some scoring touch and can play on the PK and other situations. If one were to ask Kris Mayotte if he’s happy losing him, I would bet he’d say no, that it’s a loss to the team for sure. I’m excited to see what he can do at UND. 
     

    There’s a highlight of a goal he scored against Duluth last year where he has the foresight to jump up in the play and absolutely out hustles the defender and takes the puck hard to the net and scores. Hopefully that’s what we see next season with him. 

    Can't go wrong with a player that goes hard to the net.

    I’m interested to see if Lindberg can put up even more offense for us, as CC didn’t score that much and lost Burkholder early which probably hurt their transition game a bit.  I do think the exchange of who we lost in the portal to the guys we gained, will give us more uptempo on the lower lines.  

    @Godsmack talks highly of him. I trust his trained eye. I think what we gained in the portal is an upgrade from what we lost.

    I'm sure it's a fine city.
    Just not one that you'd get excited about visiting for a destination game.

    I didn't get down to the Boardwalk, or whatever they call it, but I've heard good things. I stayed in a place they called the Rim and it was very nice. The weather will be a lot nicer than here. They had some great restaurants. IRC, they don't have a AHL team anymore, so I suppose it will be another arena that hasn't had hockey in a while, 2020.

    I just can't picture many people being excited about going to Austin for one game.
    Plus, UND has had a pretty bad record in these destination games lately.  Hard to imagine a ton of people shelling out money to go watch one game.

    I went to Austin three years ago for training, and it was a nice city.

    Our staff seems to keep things close to the vest? So hearing "nothing" makes me think Bryn and Co are lurking in the shadows.

    That is a good thing.

    Where were you in Germany? I was at Giebelstadt Army Airfield outside of Wurzburg. I filled in for Dr. Jim Leigh a few times as one of team physicians early that season before leaving for Germany at the end of November 86. 

    Thank you for your service. I was stationed at UCOM HQ in Stuttgart-Vaihingen. I was there from October 1985-January 1987.

    I was. 1980-1987. And, as I’ve posted here before, I have the original 1982 championship banner from when they auctioned them off following the 1997 flood. Still my favorite team.

    Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see the 1987 team win it all, I was in Germany serving in the US Army and AFN didn't have college hockey on it at the time.
