UNDBIZ

I was talking about our defense. That's why they're looking better today ;-)

Maybe they just get nervous playing in front of people?

Perhaps he will, but his play last night did not earn him a spot tonight.

Count me among those who felt Ladue looked like he didn't belong. He was afraid of the puck most of the night. Stecher and Ausmus both looked good along with the fr forwards for the most part though. Ladue and Panz should both sit tonight.

From the expense side, yes, dropping Muss results in added expense for UND. However, once loss of revenue, brand, and goodwill are factored in, the school would be better off firing him (4 years ago). Long-term damage has been and is being done to the program and school every week he remains. It's difficult to admit, but Moo U is winning the battle over UND for the hearts and minds right now. I wouldn't be surprised if ndsu's football team was a factor in UND's freshman enrollment dropping 20% this year.

A LOT of full time employees over there. Not sure what they all do during the offseason.

Maybe it's because nobody cares about women's hockey?

His hands were so quick that move was unstoppable. I almost feel bad for the goalie, as I think Rocco took a little frustration out on him.

They wouldn't win a national championship, but they'd make the playoffs and would never be blown out.

That would be difficult.

Not a joke but not really deserving of its own thread..... even NFL recruiters at NDSU get into trouble! Fargo PD really does have it in for that program!! http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9795129/cleveland-browns-executive-jon-sandusky-jerry-son-arrested-suspicion-drunken-driving

Those that show up.....

I don't think anyone needs to worry about that happening.....

Ugh. Who was arrested? When were they arrested? And why were they arrested? If we've got players pulling bizun stunts and they're not being disciplined by the coach, then that should be the last straw.

ISU 45 UND 20

Students don't specifically have to pay for football tickets (hockey is the only sport they must purchase tickets for), but they do pay an exorbitant amount of student fees, a large percentage of which go to the athletic department.

The lack of effort in recruiting may just be another sign that Muss and Co. have mailed it in.....

The fact that an announcement hasn't been made yet is concerning. Extremely long-term fans (30+ years of season tickets) that my family has seats next to are talking about not getting them next year. My dad left a game early in the 4th quarter (Montana) for the first time in 20+ years after being nagged by my mom for half an hour. He then left the MSU game early in the 4th quarter by himself. Permanent damage is being done to the program every week we send Mussman onto the field and put him on tv/radio in front of the fans. If he's not fired after the loss to ISU this weekend, hopefully a crowd of 6,500 for homecoming to watch EWU go up by 40 in the first half will be the last straw.

Ah sorry Mr. Miller.... c'mon Herald copy editors!!

http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/274253/ C'mon Tom Miller. With everybody confusing North Dakota and North Dakota State, you/we should be more cognisant of the names of other universities.

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.
