So once everyone comes out of their basements in a few weeks hopefully it's warm enough here for those who have to stand in the soup line because they have lost everything and can't find a job.
A recession is best case scenario.
And hopefully we don’t have to sandbag for a flood during basement quarantine... wait, what if the basement floods during quarantine?

Not really.
We’re now at the point where pundits, from both sides of the isle, are starting to put politics aside and realize we may be in for some long days ahead. Its gonna take a collective effort.
Here’s Newt, of all people:
NEWT GINGRICH: I AM IN ITALY AMID THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS. AMERICA MUST ACT NOW—AND ACT BIG
Not to minimize the loss of loved ones, but the article states the average age of those who have died from the virus in Italy is 81.

That's unfortunately very true.
Germany, Italy and South Korea all have a higher life expectancy, lower child mortality, lower maternal mortality, lower burden of disease, and significantly lower healthcare expenditures vs GDP.
Sure is nice the USofA helped those nations out with things like:
1. Ending World Wars/Wars against brutal, murderous dictators
2. Ending communism

Question of the day:
What tips the scales for how you deal with the issue: follow the experts vs thinking for yourself?
I suppose this is could be a political question too if you want it to be... (though not the intent).

It can’t be that often that both #1 seeds in the east and west are upset in the regional tourneys.

Worcester, Mass to Albany NY: 2 hour drive
Albany NY to Allentown PA: 3 hr 20 min drive
Worcester, Mass to Allentown PA: 4 hour 30 min drive.
Ridiculous.
Like having a regional in Grafton, Minot, and Wahpeton.

Two NCHC's at a single site would be sad to see. I'd love nothing more than 3 of 4 FF finalists being NCHC.
Also, the "Midwest" host being in PA stinks as well. Not a huge fan of traveling so far East. Is what it is.
Worcester, Mass to Albany NY: 2 hour drive
Albany NY to Allentown PA: 3 hr 20 min drive
Worcester, Mass to Allentown PA: 4 hour 30 min drive.
Ridiculous.

I was hoping Austin Peay would've won. Assuming ndsu wins today, it would've set up a Sidewalk Pee vs. Austin Peay matchup.
That’s just plain good humor on planet earth!

Planet Earth has been considering Eastern Washington in several scenarios. How does a 7-5 (6 D1 wins) EWU team look vs UND? Both on the bubble?

I hope we can all one day appreciate the level of greatness that this anonymous god of discussion boards has chosen to grace us, us pathetic urchins of also anonymous posters, with his divine presence.
I will now change my evil ways and hold no opinions, ever.
If now I am rebirthed is there some form or portal that I may run any attempt of thought through as to know if its appoved?
Planetearth would like to point out that your opinions are valuable, unless they disagree with the groupthink; and if you don’t like it, you can leave.

Guys, there isn't going to be a miracle this afternoon. Mandan beating Central wouldn't be a miracle, it would be some alternate reality. Central will likely score more goals than Mandan's shot total. A miracle could happen later in the tournament, but trust me it's not happening today.
As for Central's zero goals allowed tournament in '04.......the stuff this year's team has done is light years beyond that. Beating the defending MN champs 10-0, outscoring a good EGF team 13-3 on the season, obviously the undefeated season, but none of the game's even being remotely close (the RR OT game wasn't close), the depth of the team, etc.
They could easily have a shutout tournament, probably won't, depends on goaltending, but I'll wager they will allow less shots on goal over the course of the tournament than the '04 team did anyway.
Wasn’t it 03?

Agreed. I really think this central team is special and will roll....but....
What a legendary moment in western ND hockey history it would be... if...
Miracles do happen...

No need to get defensive. Just pointing out UND1983 isn't in the minority.
Planetearth would like point out it’s easy to call others “defensive” or “trolling” when we just ban those with opinions contrary to our own. It really detracts from the point of a “forum”.

Carr Sports was in Bozeman in May reviewing Mont State's facilities, and writing a strategic report on what Montana State needs to do, like building an attached IPF to their stadium so its can be co-used as a warming house and hospitality area during games and reworking some grandstands. Coincidentally, Carr Sports has advised many of the recent FCS to FBS moveups on how to strategically prepare. They are often used when schools move up a notch. Troy, Texas St and UTSA used their advise on their FBS moves.
Carr Sports' website lists NDSU, SDSU and UND as being recent clients.
For this post, Planet Earth has declared you winner of the fishing derby.

Asshattery. Do you honestly believe that NDSU admin are sitting around twiddling thumbs before the Slummit Burns? I give your admin more credit than you do. The stupidity never ends from you.
Either upgrade the Slummit or bail, as 32 teams have done. No college admin is satisfied with a bottom conference unless they are vagrants just wanting dance money. NDSU fans won't stand for that.
Planet earth would like to remind you that UND is joining the summit and fans are standing for it.

Planetearth has noted that sugarbeets and moses have been used in a discussion about college football conferences. Be advised, these comments are out of this world.

NDSU wrassling will go big time with the B12. The Fargodome will sell out with triple headers: men's wrasslin, women's mud wrassling, followed by motocross and Big Wheels through the mud. Big new attraction that will put other college sports to shame.
Of course, Big 12 banners will be strung everywhere. Bville is already counting on that.
Yeah, what a niche sport. How many schools in D1 even offer wrestling anyways?

...in division 2. #editIt ain't the hocky only bs attitude, it's the product on the floor. Stop blaming hockey for mens bb problems. If hockey went away, would that all of a sudden make Jones a better coach? Mens bb did well alongside hockey when we fielded winners...

Off topic: ever considered a username change to PMSioux?So your team wins a national championship and the first place you post is on UND fan site? You feel so inferior you need to come here and try and rub it in - what about your true rival SDSU - gonna go post there too? You just finished a great 4-year run and you top it off by showing more of your immaturity and lack of class.
Evening posts...

und ndsu crap again?
Imagine that...
