Rodwell and Mitch Mac graduate. I expect Grimaldi to leave early and at least one other to leave due to playing time (neither Chyzyk nor Murphy leaving would surprise me, which is unfortunate because I like Chyzyk and I think Murphy has potential). I expect 1 of those 5 recruits to bolt for CHL (Gersich wouldn't surprise me since he's playing for the US NTDP) or stay another year in USHL (Voltin). That puts us at even.... and if Grimaldi and everybody else does decide to stick around then it sounds like there will be a lot of competition for ice time, which can only make the team better.

If necessary, available revenue will magically appear in a previously forgotten fund and UND will be fine. At this point UND doesn't have too much to worry about regarding the athletic budget. If UND was actually worried about revenue they wouldn't have turned down 3,000 fans trying to get seats for the MBB game against ndsu.

I feel like every athletic team at UND needed to buy new uniforms and equipment last year for some reason too......

It doesn't really make sense for UND to keep baseball in the WAC if affiliate status is offered by the Slummit. Perhaps a promise that Dufus will never contact UND himself would encourage Kelley to allow the move. At this point, I prefer the BSC over the summit. Circumstances may change my opinion in the future, but I think it's a good fit and has great potential right now.

Yeah it was kind of tongue in cheek. I know my family will be there.

Is anyone going to the game on Saturday??

None of our current players have exposed themselves at the mall yet......

First off, I think we've had a couple great teams under Hak and many other good ones, so I'm not on the Fire Hak bandwagon yet (though I'm far from a Hak fan)..... but I do wish he would make adjustments so his coaching and the style of play fits the players he has. One thing we always hear about Hak and the UND coaching staff is they operate like it's a professional hockey program and that is something several of the recruits have openly said they liked about the program. Perhaps it's a good thing and I'm wrong, but maybe Hak should encourage the players to have more fun on the ice and get back to the GAME of hockey, rather than forcing them into a rigid, structured system that allows for minimal creativity. Having fun is supposed to be one of the good things about college that the pros miss. Just one uninformed fan's thoughts. Regardless, I'm sure we'll go on our typical post-christmas charge, most who are currently ragging on him will praise Hak's ability to put together the right lines with the right chemistry, and we'll make a second round exit from the NCAA tourney. It's like clockwork.

Flagstaff is actually kind of in the mountains so it can get colder and snowy there. When I toured the campus while trying to choose a college it snowed about 18-24 inches that day and it got turned into a bus tour instead of the planned walking tour.

First football stinks and now the hockey team stinks too. Fire Kelly ;-)

That und has become a team of quick, skilled players but we're still playing a dump and chase style of hockey against teams that are bigger and stronger than us.

Tackling on punt coverage has been awful today

Another Kenny G td. 21-14

21-7

Golliday with the und td

14-7 nau now

Bartels looking like a guy who wants to start.

After stepping in the endzone can you be the first to touch the ball and down it at the 1?

It's not like he exposed himself at the mall.

Over, Over, Over Baumann goes for 205 (all purpose) and 3 TDs. UND puts 17 on the board with a garbage time TD. Mollberg with 3 picks and Jackson and Bartels each with a fumble.

That thread is from 2007. After 6 additional years and, in all likelihood, 3 straight national championships, I'd guess the mood may have softened on Bohl in Lincoln.
