UNDBIZ

Can't believe they let Quinnipiac score like that....

Did they cgi Ratelle's arms onto Santiago here?! Looking YUGE!

Oh shoot I was thinking blackouts as in everybody wears black. No, they haven't tried blacking out midco coverage.

Home games against Montana have been blackouts in the past. They aren't on the schedule this year though.

They all are. A ticket is like $15 and it's much more enjoyable in person.

Or Denver and Omaha, for that matter.

I read the siouxsports poll as 60% don't hate the logo. About as good as UND could've hoped for, IMO.

Ah, he was on the baseball team in the 70s. Gives some insight on why he's taking pot shots at the university now. Unfortunate side effect of something that had to happen eventually.

Current WCHA - UA-F, UAA, UAH, BSU, BGU, FSU, LSSU, MTU, MnSU, NMU (less MnSU) Current NCHC - CC, DU, MU, UMD, UNO, UND, SCSU, WMU (plus ASU & MnSU) May as well reshuffle and add ASU, Mercyhurst, and RMU (leaving the AHA intact)..... New WCHA (aka CCHA 2.0) - UAH, BGU, FSU, LSSU, MERCYHURST, MU, MTU, NMU, ROBERT MORRIS, WMU - Bus league of lower MI, OH, PA along with UAH and the Yoopers. New NCHC (aka WCHA 2.1) - UAA/UA-F (they have to form a class B co-op and will play in Anchorage), ARIZONA STATE, BSU, CC, DU, MnSU, UMD, UNO, UND, SCSU - Duluth is as far east as we go.

They may not be leaving soon, but they will certainly have every right to be upset.

NCHC may as well rebrand itself as WCHA 2.1.

Agreed. And if they aren't (somewhat likely, I think), then just stick with 9 for a while.

And that's why we have Western Michigan and Jan Brady State.

The NCHC's dream scenario involved Notre Dame and Boston College, not Western Michigan.

Yeah? Notre Dame was never a member of the NCHC, so why would they be mentioned?

Duluth is part of the University of Minnesota system and is therefore much better funded than the state system schools. Duluth also has a shiny new arena and a banner. CC has great academics and a solid commitment to hockey. They're also a D1 member of Conference USA for women's soccer, FWIW.

I agree St. Cloud should've never been admitted.

But was the NATIONAL Collegiate Hockey Conference created for bus trips?

Not that my vote counts for anything, but mark me down as a solid "No." NCHC is doing fine right now, no sense in adding a mediocre regional DII school just for the heck of it.

Bowling Green?
