There's a lot of room between "total control," which were your words and "no control," which are also only your words.

Huh, well that'd be news to most pitchers..... Oh now I get it, they do have control over where they want to throw it, they just don't have total control over where it actually goes.

Ah my bad, forgot about that. To recover, allow me to attempt to start a small fire: Wish they would've named the coach of the year award after a coach who represented a real NCHC program rather than a team added as a last resort..... oh well.

I wasn't aware I had to register for hockey in order to be considered a fan. Bottom line. Ohio is much bigger. OSU's student body and alum base is much bigger. B1G or not, they don't care about hockey.

Wish they would've named the coach of the year award after a coach who represented an NCHC program..... oh well.

Unfortunately for your argument, the Ohio number is closer to 1 in 100 and most of those are Penguins fans who don't care about college hockey. As for whether or not OSU fans will tune in for the game...... they won't.

Agreed. If we want the team to be more disciplined, the place to start is by making them earn their way onto the field by showing discipline and learning the playbook off the field. Rewarding talented players who are lazy isn't the way to go.

But yes, playoffs has priority.

There is a fire Hak thread too that will probably start up again sometime in December or January and it doesn't seem to affect recruiting for hockey, seeing as next year's projected class is supposed to be the best college class ever. Blaming a fan forum for missing out on a recruit is pretty weak.

Probably not double, but certainly more.

I've finally realized who's to blame, even though it's been right in front of me for months......

As an alum, get serious about setting expectations for this team or we'll be following Northern Colorado.

That team was never blown out: at Iowa St - L 17-34 at Sam Houston St - L 45-48 vs Wagner - W at S Illinois - L 14-24 vs Illinois St - L 24-27 vs N Iowa - L 27-42 at SDSU - L 13-28 vs Missouri St - L 17-21 at W Illinois - W at Indiana St - W vs Youngstown St - L 35-39 Also, Bohl led them to 10-1 seasons in 2006 and 2007 and had wins over FBS teams.

UND has games against other hockey programs that are actually good. We'll have non-conference games against Wisconsin next year and there will be a "come to jesus meeting" with Minnesota soon to right that wrong. The competition UND will be facing doesn't worry me nearly as much as the reduction in national TV coverage caused by the NCHC's ridiculous contract with CBS Sports.

Come on everybody, Muss isn't to blame here. The blowout against Montana was obviously caused by player errors and lack of support from the fans. Montana was really good so we should've never expected our team to actually compete with them. We really need to lower our expectations, I mean, this is only Muss's 6th year so I don't know why anybody would expect his team to be able to compete with other teams that are actually good. If we give him 3 more years he'll get it figured out. Also, if we fire Muss, who would we hire? It's not like there are any other football coaches out there who might be looking for more money or a program to put their stamp on.

Can you just put Truthseeker on ignore while continuing to answer valid fan questions please? We appreciate you stopping in and providing accurate information on what's actually happening.

Did you really just try to turn this into a "what about the starving kids in Africa" argument?

That would be funny.

So we can expect the team to go "toe to toe" with MSU next week?

Nomane is very close to our current mascot....

You don't get it. The average sports fan is going to see that hockey is on and skip to the next channel.

Perhaps you should ask yourself why we are not a top 10 team. If you feel the guys on the team are close to mutiny, why are you against calling for Muss to be fired?

It's going to be pretty sad when we go 3-4 at home. It's not unreasonable to think we may even go 1-6 at home this year.
