Midco is not providing the calibre of coverage this program needs and deserves. I think they want to focus exclusively on South Dakota programming in the future. It may be time to start planning a future without Midco once the current contract runs out.
Where are you pulling this speculation from? We are lucky to have Midco Sports, and I doubt they're going anywhere.

I am still amazed at the pace with which this team continues to play throughout the game. I wonder if that plays into the 2nd period struggles as they expend a lot of energy and then have the long change. Yet, they don't seem to get gassed or tire out in the third. They did tone it down a bit on the PK last night and weren't as aggressive toward the puck in their own zone.
The focus on moving north quickly is very evident and I think the style fits the team makeup. Excited to see what this team can accomplish!
The hockey team is playing old time Fighting Sioux Hockey again. They're like a bunch of JYD's, too. Jax said he was going to return to our culture. That's almost a direct quote.

Eventually, SCSU will have smaller rink dimensions.

I’m not sure why everyone assumes BSU is a tournament killer this year just because they may have been previous years.
Teams currently that are worse than BSU:
Boston U
Omaha
CC
Arizona St
Minnesota
Now you’re clouding the issue with facts.
I actually like this series. It's an easy travel and it's a lot of fun. This year, I took the family over and we sat behind the UND bench in the stands. This was a fun game to attend. Yes, it was really cold in the stands. I recommend staying in the DoubleTree Inn and Suites. They have a great bar and restaurant Green Mill in the hotel complex.

Agree, but if we are going to make a playoff run, we have to tackle better, no missed assignments and play penalty free.
Yeah, even up their game, as good as it's been.

Coach brought the 4-2-5 and none better to install and coach it.
The defense is not the issue @The Sicatoka they've been the bright spot on this team.

i disagree...und's "financial agreement" has hurt every sport on campus except hockey...hard.
if und hockey was still in the old REA with slight improvements they'd still be in the nchc..still a blueblood.still fine...BUT the growth in other und sports are being ignored bc of the golden goose and how the money is split up the agreement they signed onto and sent 100 different ways other than improving growth sports at und --starting with football
I am not sure that I agree with your point. Why can't or... why isn't football, basketball, and the other sports developing a different revenue stream? Same with basketball. We have NIL money for all of the sports. UND football is really close to being on the rise with the new coaching staff, but this is year one. Basketball has a beautiful facility, but it is half empty for many games. I know this because I go to many games with my daughter. I don't blame that on the Engelstad funding issue. I blame that on one bad coaching hire(s) and decisions. For the record, I like the new women's basketball coach. He has one hell of a hole to dig out of to right the ship.

Izzo's latest prediction. I guess he thinks SDSU will beat UND next weekend.
It must be hard for Dom Izzo to type with his pompoms on.
He's impossible to listen to when he calls a football game.

It’s fun. This team has struggled out of the gate at times. That has cost them games. Fair criticism doesn’t make you a ledgie. Calling for Dave’s job or benching Homer, because the defense can’t defend, would be ledgie behavior.
The exhibition game was all new line combinations.

Can’t believe there were a few ledgies that popped their head up in the 1st period of an exhibition game. We sat a ton of guys and yes weren’t super sharp early but chill guys, consider the context
Wow! Good Point. I thought this was one of the better exhibition games that I have seen in a while. UND played pretty well after the slow start. They were relentless in the second half of the game. I looked up in the stands and there was a lot of talent sitting up there resting their wounds.

My Post Link: UND's Red Hot Ben Strinden Takes Flight
The more I think about it, @Oxbow6 I believe this is the player you thought he could be. He's having one hell of a season—a career year.

I'm happy about the hockey win, but the loss on the gridiron soured my mood. I really felt UND was better until the end. The 4th-and-short play that ended up being a turnover on downs was disappointing. I felt the pistol formation wasn't the best option, and we need a Q-type QB for this exact play. I think the UND football team is a year away, and the hockey team is impressing me. They're playing old-time UND hockey.

Here are my thoughts from the weekend. UND Sweeps Omaha in Omaha, a Night of Firsts

I don't know about y'all, but I never felt that UND was going to lose last night's game. Was it a tight game? Of course. UND frustrated the Mavericks throughout the weekend. There is definitely a difference in talent level between UND and Omaha. I saw many things this past weekend that gave me hope. This team is one of the younger ones in college hockey, and they're making great strides. I have been impressed with the CHL kids, as well as the freshmen, such as Kernan and Zellers. Are there things that need to be cleaned up? Yes, 100 percent. Mac Swanson is starting to excel and make plays. If UND has a two-headed monster in the net, that would be a good thing, too.

Just for the record, Qunicy is still scoring short-yardage touchdowns in the CFL.

Thanks. I hadn't shot football pictures for some time. I had to ask Russ Hons about camera settings because I had forgotten how to use them.

We have a power play with the boarding call. That could've been dangerous.
