i think the reality is that Minnesota, Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin are the attractive schools of the Big ten when it comes to hockey but PSU and OSU probably wouldn't draw as much as a game with SCSU, UMD, MIAMI U et al. It sounds more like a losing deal to me. Also, isn't s OSU the one that is doing all of the whining about not getting to play Minnesota and Wisconsin?

The problem is that they were hired to do a job, they have no connection to the Fighting Sioux name or the University of North Dakota other than this is the institution that is sending them a pay check every week. I don't care what they say no matter what empty platitudes they use, the "BRUTAL REALITY" is That UND Fighting Sioux just a name to them because the have nothing invested in it, the probably also see the name FIGHTING SIOUX as an impediment to their cause.

It's Archie's kid...

Fetch, I have come to the realization that MPLSBisonFan isn't worth any of our time.

The Village Inn is now a IHOP.

That is what I have heard as well. Changed was the result the summit wanted.

I will believe it when I see it.

God you're a moron. That sentence is getting off easy and with a slap.

Actually, I think once the name is gone it will very hard to get it back.

I think we have about 99% agreement that MPLSBISON FAN is a dumbf#(ker. There was a visual I didn't need. though Yikes.

Actually; MPLSBISIONFAN is an F'N idiot. I think Dirty covered the subject pretty well too.

The bad part is Jim kills MPLSBISONFAN posting privileges and some sock puppet will show up in his place and say the same $#it from the same IP address, I would be willing to be that MPLSBISONMORON is someone that has an axe to grinde against UND and I wouldn't be surprised if he is actually one of the anti name crowd from UND...

I agree MPLSBISONFAN is a buffoon.

Who knows over on twitter there was some chatter about it being a drug related. I suppose it will shake it's self out.

Really? The REA just like the United Center is a private facility so the NCAA really has no power, their only power would be over UND... Go away skippy.

If he was busted for Marijuana, isn't that going to make it harder for him to play hockey in Canada when his team travels?

Not quite as impressive as BSU who has something like 13 national championships in D2 and D3. 13 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1973, 1979, 1980, 1984, 1986, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1997 I mean obviously their titles aren't division one titles but they aren't some second rate program either. I think BSU will bring a lot to the table.

Mankato has never finished top three nationally before. I don't think they have won a NCAA tourney game before either.

I played in the Galen Nagle golf tourney in Bemidji last Friday and BSU head coach Tom Serratore is a class act, great guy. When I was leaving the banquet after the tourney he personally thanked me for playing in their tourney, I said, no thank you for letting me play. I ended up talking to him for a bit and he said he wished UND and BSU could play four times a year. I bet it would be fun to play hockey for a guy like him, he is intense and an energetic person. BSU is in good hands same with UNO.

Pot Kettle Black, listen Skippy the NCAA isn't going to ban UND. You're sucking up too many bong hits if you think this is going to happen.

It's not going to happen MPLSBISON_FAN Skippy, you can pontificate/defecate till you're blue in the face but the scenarios you are mentioning are out side of the realm of possibility, they are not going to happen. UND hockey isn't going to play anywhere but the REA. Why don't you come out of your mothers basement and find something else to do. These outlandish scenarios and wide eyed ideas aren't going to happen, the REA management is posturing to see if the school and or the state of North Dakota will step up and pay for the changes to the arena. Why should they have to pay for it they aren't a party to the NCAA settlement. If actually you lived in the real world (out side of the liberal arts mind set) you would be able to figure these things out. I have no idea why you come to this forum because all you are here to do is cause problems and pollute this forum.

That is an impressive collection of teams.

I can tell you that I was told by someone very close to the BSU program (a couple of different times) that they tickets for the BSU and UND series are going to be hard to get. The BSU Ticket office has already sold most of them to season ticket holders (80%) and there is the 400 or so that will go to UND so I am sure those tickets will go fast as well.

I am just wonder where he pulled it out of.
