Hey remember the last time UND won a big game on the road? Me either.

If no one cares about it then what is the big deal?

Hey remember that one time when NBC passed up on some huge NHL game for Bison basketball senior night? Me too.

Last game ever in there... won't be able to call it a sh**hole anymore

And North Dakota's NBC allifiate said we have better stuff to do. One of the local networks I believe.

Tough luck. One side was not going to get what they wanted.... The local group rightfully won. We get stuck having the Minnesota hockey championship on tv here... Why the heck should we get stuck with that? Two way street bro.

... so because some und folks got mad someone should be fired? It was a hockey game...... Between two teams that have zero connection to this area..... NDSU has a connection to the area. You are really trying to make this more difficult than it needs to be.

Hmmm do we air a local division 1 basketball game..... Or a hockey game that doesn't have local teams? Easy question to answer every time. You are pretending that this was an NFL playoff game being left off TV.....

...... one of the dumber things I have ever read.

Pretty sure I know the guy who did that. Ndsu grad who loves trolling cause he is a hockey guy.

Idk if they are this year. Once the BSA gets fixed up it will change I think. I know some have bought season tickets now so they can get grandfathered in case of ticket raises. Fargo and grand forks I think really like hockey..... But small towns and places like Jamestown Dickinson Williston etc are way more basketball friendly. If they decided to air the hockey game.... I don't think many people would have cared but to claim tons of people are upset the hockey wasn't on is a reach at best.

Basketball is big. The NHL is not that important in North Dakota.

Because one of like 80 hockey games means so much....local team playing. Get used to it happening more and more bro.

zero idea. zero motivation to figure it out and/or remember.

If I see they are on tv, I might watch....if nothing else is on. Absolutely.

I am a Bison fan(Finance Major)....and a Gopher hockey fan(Sky-U-Mah!), That said, UND consistently has churned out solid second half teams....think of it like a stock market. Trends are a real thing. UND is consistently a second half team....whether or not that is Hak's doing is up to the educated hockey folks. But as long as I can recollect...UND has been traditionally done well in the second half before crashing and burning in the national tourney. Whether that is because they run into a better team or a "hot goalie" or whatever is beyond me. I am not a hockey mind. I look at things from a trend perspective. UND may have been the best team in individual seasons in certain seasons throughout the past years....but hockey is a weird game from what I have gathered(I know very little about the game). They do tend to have a significantly better record the second half of the season. Data suggests that at some point they put their crap together....only to break your hearts(which I am more than content with). Go Bison Go Gophers JBND7

First time anyone has ever said that to _arell

I believe I promised if Notre Dame beat USC or something I would leave for a month or so until my foot surgery. Which I did...

Actually... The logical thing to do would be looking at average number of fans... None of und's sports they share with ndsu are close to averaging 100% capacity anyway... So your building argument doesn't hold water

Apples....meet oranges.

More sports equal more people. The logical thing to do would be to look at attendance in sports the two schools both compete in.

I'm not sure a UND fan should rag on NDSU for attendance right now....Just saying bro.

200 miles away....not such a bad drive. I think more folks will be there this year than in years past since this is supposed to be "the" year. Sioux Falls works great with several schools relatively nearby. Probably shouldn't claim our women's athletics suck. Two of the teams suck....badly. Track is pretty good I think, and the softball team is pretty good as well. Golf just sent a girl to the LPGA which is pretty neat I suppose. At most schools, including UND too I imagine, people are happy when the women's teams are doing well, but if they aren't.....not the end of the world in comparison to men's. .......so the two big revenue sports at NDSU outdraw the Force and you are trying to smack on that?

Lol what?

Solid attempt at burn. He is an Arizona state guy though. Did work at navy though. I award you 5 points
