What would Mr. hand do differently?
Show up at Gabers house and review historical neutral zone regroups on his time?
No Idea. All I know is he had a knack for flipping the switch in the 2nd half.

Saying this team mailed it in when, let’s be honest, the three games lost included zero games that actually mattered (minus retaining a 1 seed). They were locked into the tournament when they locked up the Penrose. There’s something to be said for competing (or being complacent) in games that don’t hold much value.
Hopefully they flip the switch but we’ll find out Friday night. In a game that really means something.
They have been locked into the tournament for a while now. Fridays lost cost the team a chance at the nchc tournament championship. It absolutely mattered. If Friday didn’t matter neither than the last month and a half.

Bring this guy back to give them the look before Regional games, than bring Berry back for the Frozen Four.

I wish UND would bid to host at the Ralph every year. Stop the biding to host at Scheels and in Sioux Falls. Feeling like they are letting the NCAA off the hook, by bidding for neutral sites. UND and only a few others are the only ones place bids. If no one placed neutral site bids they would have to allow hosting at home arenas.
Besides we have not had much luck when hosting in Sioux falls or Scheels.

Well, I scanned the article, and so much for negotiation ...
2024: $255k
2025: $265k
2026 (Ext): $275k
2027 (Ext): $285k
*Buyout portion of the contract remains UNCHANGED!
If fired without cause, Bubba receives 100% of the base salary for the first 24 months. 75% of his base salary for months 25-36, and 50% of his base salary for months 37-48.
Bill is pathetic. It must be nice to be able to make the kind of money these guys are making without actually having to show results. Now take my next comment as it is intended ... Bill's only saving grace as AD is that he still has a very successful hockey program to fall back on. That being said, I don't understand that complete lack of awareness around Football. To be honest, I don't think he actually has had to do much for hockey ... that well oiled machine kind of runs itself, but he will be sure to take credit for that. Bubba apart from taking us up a notch after Muss, has really done nothing to warrant the last two extensions.
Maybe if I stop working so hard at my job, I'll get rewarded too! ... but I doubt it
Are you really trying to say he doesn't work hard? He is in over his head and don't believe he can take the program to the next level, but to imply he doesn't work are in unfair.

$30 a game is too much? For a college hockey game? Regardless, that's you, boo boo. I'm pumped for it.
The thing is a lot of fans could care less about the game if UND is not playing. So it is $50/game if they win or $100/game if they lose.

Damn him for growing the sport of college hockey!!
My thoughts exactly.
The members of the Big 10 could have pushed for a change in the Bylaws to not form a Big 10 hockey conference. They saw the chance to generate more money and no one did anything to change it. I guess I can't blame them.

Okay provide proof then?
I'm not sure how anyone can prove either way. I was told be someone that works at Midco SN that he saw Pat arrive for an interview when they were hiring for the position. He would have not reason to make it up.

even more reason to go big10/ccha model...these games should be staggered on a saturday.....1 or2 pm and then 6 or 7pm
4pm on a friday.....out of town neutral site....
Problem with the Big10/CCHA Model and the future NCHC model is there is too much time off before the national tournament if you don't make it to the championship game. Wisconsin is going to get 3 weeks without playing a game. Also College hockey should have at least 2 games every weekend. With the Semi-Finals and Finals only being a single game we miss out on a lot of hockey.

Omaha playing for their season for two weeks. After that loss Friday I had written them off, but as good teams do they found a way.
I hope our guys can match their intensity on Friday. That was lacking the last time they played.
UND should be the more desperate team Friday night. We need a win for a #1 seed. Looks to me like UNO is looked in at a #3 seed.

Can Omaha get a 3 seed when UND beats then
UNO looks to be locked into a 3 seed no matter what they do this weekend.

Good. They say it’s tough to beat the same team 5 times in a season

Personally I'm hoping Omaha gets a 4 seed and UND and Denver remain as 1 seeds. Would love to see BU or BC have to travel to Sioux Falls to deal with Omaha. An Omaha win would get us closer to higher seeds hosting 1st and 2nd round games in the NCAA tournament.
UND had there chance to all but eliminate UNO. They didn't so I guess I don't think they deserve to be the 1 seed in Sioux Falls.

If this is voir dire I'm using a peremptory challenge against Dean Wilson.
Just steal Mike LaMoine from the radio side.
This might be the one thing that would get me to stop watching Sioux Hockey. He is horrible.

What are we cheering for in the Omaha / CC series? Anything, but CC in 3? Top priority being UND being in the Sioux Falls regional. That can only not happen (being realistic) if Omaha finishes 13th or 14th (w/ an outside change of the 14th being picked off by an auto-bid). Might sound odd, but after last weekend, my ideal situation would be UND as the #1 seed and Omaha as the #3 seed in Sioux Falls.
I think at this point we are cheering for Omaha so they are the 3 seed. I don't see them dropping to 15 or below. Otherwise we will need a couple teams below 15 winning there tournaments.

I thought so too but the article you quote above makes me wonder about this now with him being honored this weekend. No other choice but to hit the portal again if he doesn't come back.
All Seniors that have not been honored for a Senior night yet are being honored. Nothing to do with whether they are coming back or not. I'm guessing those decisions will be made by the Athlete and coaches end of April or May.
I sure hope we are not hitting the portal again next year for the 4th year in a row. I thought we had a star Goaltender set to come in. Beside Hobie needs to be given a shot. Bothers me how Berry relies on one goaltender for the whole season. He need to get the back-up some minutes throughout the year for the good of the future or injuries.

Grand forks wouldn’t allow it.
And who knows why GF or EGF wouldn’t allow a coop with Sacred Heart. Perhaps it’s the old…”opens up a can of worms for other sports” excuse.
Which is odd because Sacred Heart has girls that play for Central in other sports. I know Girls Soccer for sure.

Football is the 1 sport that there is no good way to play overtime.
My idea would be overtime continues right were regulation left off and whoever scores first is the winner. So whoever had the ball when regulation ending keeps the ball just like it is the end of the 1st or 3rd Quarter. Team switch side and down and distance continues.

Think you Kick off and when you get the ball back you go for the win.

So you think they'll get to 7 wins and probably backdoor their way in?
Way to early to predict a record in my opinion. Common sense would say 7 wins and 1st round exit. They need to hit the portal hard after Spring Ball. Obviously help on the defensive side of the ball. Interested to see who they bring in as Offensive Coordinator. I'm think we will see an upgrade at QB. I'm guessing the Writing was on the Wall or Schuster would have stuck around 1 more year.

Wat does Bubba need to do to get extended and keep is job? Where is the bar he must reach?
- Beat the Jacks or Bison
- Winning season
- Make the playoffs
- Win a playoff game
- Reach the Quarterfinals
- Reach the Semifinals
- Make it to Frisco
- Win a National Championship
I think if he reach's the Quarterfinals he gets extended.

There are some on this forum that are very jealous of hockey. Hockey has facilities, funding, fans and success. These fans like to boast that if hockey wasn't a priority and the funding was diverted to football, we would magically be perennial national champs. Of course it isn't that simple and you don't tear down one successful program to try to build another. You try to build another successful program in addition to what you have.
Now I'm a big UND football fan too, and there is no doubt they could use some additional funding, probably mostly in the form of coaching salaries (and maybe some new white jerseys), but to blaming hockey is just the quick scapegoat. Any easy way of showing how jealous they are of the success they want for the sport they don't care about.
Had Ralph donated all that money towards a football stadium, you wouldn't hear a peep from this crowd, and how great would it be if we had someone willing to donate that for football as well. It would be incredible! But most schools don't get that for any sport let alone one. The REA has been fantastic for hockey and the community. The Alerus isn't a bad facility either. Its not my person favorite, but its not a bad place to watch a game.
Rather than placing blame on the alumni that did donate a ton to the University, I'd focus more on our AD who hands out unwarranted contract extensions and can't seem to find some more money in our alumni base. It doesn't even need to be a ton more, but they do need to increase the salaries to be competitive. Maybe that will be the focus now that Phase 2 is on its way. I'm not sure it is even that much more money that would need to be raise .... I have no idea, but something needs to be done. When Bubba is gone, it would be really nice to see UND make a splash in hiring (but I doubt it). Problems run deeper at UND that money. There is also just and administrative approach and routine that never seems to change.
I like UND Hockey and Football Equally. I would like to see rather than a new scoreboard, or new locker rooms or weight rooms at the REA, use some of that money to invest in the football program. Seems like money is being spent the the REA on things that are not needed.
It should be one university, but is seems like it is the Hockey program vs all other programs.

It will be very interesting when UND gets control of the REA in 6 years. I'm guessing a lot the the money will be funneled over to other programs within the university and there will be a lot of Hockey Only fans upset the the Arena is not being maintained at the same rate as before.
Is it still true that the REA gets 40% of Football ticket sales? Is this documented anywhere or just speculation.
