The board I'm on doesn't have more than a handful of hockey posts per year.

I watch probably 2-3x as many Notre Dame games in a year.

Because I'm from North Dakota and I'm a Notre Dame fan lol

Notre Dame! There we go!

Damn. Rest of the game should be more eventful now lol.

Yes. Mine has been fine

This should be fun! Enjoy the game everybody

BC is Catholic in name only. Anyone who has been to ND's campus can feel it's real. The Irish are due for a Natty. Would be fun to see them face off with Michigan in the Natty, I think they are living rent free in the Wolverines' heads. Beating UND would be a nice confidence boost. I think whoever wins that game makes the last four.

Per usual, I expect a strong bracket. I'll tinker with it the next few days but hockey is such a weird sport maybe I should just let my current rendition sort it out. Looking forward to watching UND play UND! I dont watch hockey more than a handful of times per year but its a fun March/April activity once teams win or go home. Think the Irish were pretty good this year. Makes it a bit more fun for me.

What sounds more "electric".... #2 ndsu v. #4 oral roberts in Macomb which people had a week to plan to travel to or..... in Sioux Falls where everyone knows years in advance where the tourney is being played, and most of the schools' fans live within easy driving distance.

Have you been the the tourney? I went only once. Back before they had this great venue. Sioux Falls is a great place for it. If they had it in Grand Forks....nobody would show up. Sioux Falls is a pretty good spot. Easy drive from Omaha, KC, Fargo, Brookings, Vermillion. Probably an easy drive for a lot of the parents. Can plan it out wayyyy in advance. Its a fun atmosphere down there. Yeah its SDSU heavy but that is an easy sacrifice to make to have a good atmosphere at the tourney. Imagine a conference tourney in Macomb or Grand Forks or Fargo....it would be an absolute joke.

The rumor is that TAMU spent around $30 million on their latest football recruiting class.

I lived in a nice 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment alone on the Florida Gulf Coast for less than $50k... that was like 2018. I wasn't struggling.

Stafford is and always has been a rockstar

Then 2016...whatever. I never know what year to use...

2015 Ohio State

I'm assuming this is a way to bully the province into being reasonable. "Hey we will move our games elsewhere if you guys keep this up."

My idea of fine dining is lamb from a halal cart lmaoo

I never order steak at restaurants. I can make one at home that is to my liking (and its fun) with limited ingredients/effort.. I generally order things I'm too lazy to make or cannot be cooked at scale (for the mouth breathers, for one or two people).

I have always rather enjoyed the Blue Moose.

I think SDSU would have a better shot. 1. They aren't afraid of NDSU. They've beat NDSU twice in the last year. 2. Lots of teams seem to take a game or two to adjust to playing NDSU. I could be wrong there though. There aren't many teams I worry will beat NDSU in a meaningful game. SDSU and JMU are probably the only two, maybe Montana State can add themselves to the list. NDSU doesn't look like a vintage iteration this year, might be the best year to play against the Bison in Texas.

Might be fine as a short term deal at this level.

My dad still talks about that concert. Sounds like it got a little overcrowded.

I think it did kill like 10 years ago. After awhile...meh. I accepted many moons ago that this is just how it goes. Lmao.

Sounds like they doubled his already very healthy compensation package. $15 million/year.
