UNDBIZ

Many of the hockey-only folks blame the move to D1 for the loss of the Fighting Sioux nickname. Similar to DaveK, they would tell you the move to D1 was dumb. I admit that 8 years ago I didn't think a move to D1 was necessary, but looking at who is D2 now (Minot, Mary, Bemidji, Crookston, Moorhead, etc.), we certainly don't belong in the same division as them.

Hopefully that drops to 3 after saturday.

I'd include them as a homer pick, not sure that UND deserves it at that point though. Finish at 6-4 (D1) with Cal Poly and E Wash staying top 10 and NAU top 20 and I think UND may have a case to be ranked 21-25. Edit: But first things first, let's get a win this weekend!!

I'd guesstimate 2,000 students (in the student section) at hockey games. UND student headcount was over 15,000 this year, but that includes online students.

This is really surprising to me. It seems like most teams score an 80 yard touchdown on their first play against our defense each drive, which you'd think would result in fewer total plays in the game.

FYP

At this point you wouldn't hear a lot of UND fans arguing against it.....

Ah yes, Sagarin COMPUTER RANKINGS, which has UNI has the #6 FCS team in the country..... what a great measure and obvious proof of who would win the game.

Just realized there aren't/haven't been many Sioux Yeah Yeah!! cheers in the Alerus (regardless of the current nickname situation)

I actually agree with Johnson here. Also, it's much easier to do the preferred hockey seating incentive for bball and vball games as they take place in the adjoining building.

From the 2012 Attendance thread Even when we had good student attendance 5 years ago, the students were all either gone or ready to fall asleep in the second half.

Allow underage drinking in the student section in the second half

7-0

No need to take offense to that, we're all pretty elite compared to NDSU folks.

I appreciate the fandom and Moo U hate, but that's a bit of a stretch.....

Except for UNI......

I could see bizun losses at EWU and maybe versus Cal Poly. NDSU would've beaten NAU by 3 scores, beaten Montana by 2+ scores, and (based on what I've seen/heard about them thus far) would probably beat the cats by 2 scores. Edit: All that being said, anything can happen on gameday, they could go anywhere from 2-3 in that stretch (unlikey) to 5-0 (plausible).

UND never steals wins because we (the fans and the team) always expect the win.

UND won 40-34. Hardin with 333 yards (und record) and 3 tds

I believe root is only available on DirectTV so you'll have to watch at a bar or a friend's place. I think the game starts at 2:40.

A Basin?
