Big Green

My only hope is that the players and coaching staff is preparing with the plan to go there and bring home the W. Too many times the team is defeated before they get off the bus. I'm sure Washington will be over looking us to some extent. As a fan I want to see them play hard tell the end and put a scare in them. I want the their fans to be disappointed at the end of the game. They will not play a better team or in a louder stadium than this weekend., both in regular season and hopefully playoffs. Need to use to our advantage starting next week.

So I'm assuming when they preview the NDSU game vs Cal-Poly they will show a pic from a previous year of UND v. Cal-Poly. This game should be all about UND not who MVSU has played in the past. The Herald just pisses me off.

I'd be shocked if it was anyone other than Ketteingham. Hope they announce the starter very soon. The old saying "if you have 2 QBs than you have none. What about when you have 3 QBs. They need to settle on 1 guy and have him taking the 1st team reps.

Any idea why they are not playing their games at memorial stadium. Seems to make more sense than in EGF?

Problem with the NHL is you get 2 pts for both a Regulation win and shoot out win. Some are 3 pt games and some are 2 pt games. Standing would look much different if they were to get 3 pts for a regulation win and 2 pts for shootout/3x3 win. I think NHL does it the right way with exception of the point system. If it were me at the end of 60 minutes you are tied each team gets 1 point them fight for the 3rd point in 3x3 and shoot out. it has been proven that 3x3 and shoot out does affect the end of the year standing much in the NCHC. It is fun to watch.

Sorry don't know what this means

Love digital tickets, but there will be a major push back from a lot of old timers if the Ralph goes to this.

Couldn't agree more.

IMO the NCHC had it right. Rarely did it affect the end of the year standings. I thought it was good entertainment to see a 3x3 or shootout. I always hated leaving the game after a tie, seemed like a waste of time. NHL uses 3x3 and shootout, if it is good enough for the top league in the world it should be good enough for college hockey. Interesting no one on the committee is from leagues that use the 3x3 or shoot out.

Bubba is wearing a head set. Buck stops with him. He can over rule any coach at anytime and he hired these guys.. Overall I like what Bubba has done, but can't let him off the hook for any issues with Football team.

Top of the Hill for Hockey and Football are National Championships. With BB and VB the most they are going to achieve are conference championships,. I think that is the difference. I don't think Hockey should be receiving Conference Championship rings, and I not sure Football should either. Do other FCS Teams give out Rings for Conference championships? More expensive for FB to give out rings that the others 4 combined based on number of players on the teams.

Just goes to show there is no such thing as a free Gift. There is always strings attached. I think Kennedy is correct in most if not all that he is saying, but he needs to learn to play nice as other donors are watching and most uninformed are going to take the side of the Engelstads after all that they have given to UND. 1. F'n Hawks logo should be at center court at the Betty. Seems most VB, MBB & WBB Fans have all embraced the new name and logo. 2. Leave just North Dakota at the Ralph. No need to piss Hockey fans off at this point.

Maybe, but article says all 5 home game are broadcast on Midco. Pretty sure it is because Hockey is in town that weekend.

For what its worth the Ramada recently renovated or so I heard. Might be worth a 2nd look if the price is right.

Maybe I'm throwing in the towel for next year already, but I don't see them being a very good team next year. With the number of Juniors to be Seniors on this team I wouldn't mind a few more transferring. i would like to see some younger players getting more playing time next year, make them better in future years.

No Big Deal. If any of the Big Ten teams win we will hear how great the Big Ten is for the next year. If it makes you fill better point out 8>2. I guess I just Hate the Big Ten more than I hate Duluth. The reason UND fans hate Duluth is because when they take cheap shots there is nothing we can do about it. Our PP sucks, and we are no longer a tough team. Either make they pay for it with PP goal or kick their ass. If we get in a special teams battle with Duluth we will lose every time.

I guess I don't see them as a passionate rival. They are more like a little brother. When competing head to head I want to beat them, but I hope they beat they beat everyone else.

4-Michigan- 3-OSU-Whole THE thing is annoying 2-Notre Dame-Boring Hockey, but one of best teams all year. They Deserve it. 1-UMD-NCHC team, only 1 title.

Wow. I meant Former conference mate. Sure hope Tech is not a future conference mate. Mankato Maybe.

16. Michigan--can't get to 10 ahead of us 15. Denver--can't have Denver get to 9 ahead of us 13-14. Penn State & Ohio St-Hate Big 10 Hockey 12. Notre Dame--Hate Big 10 Hockey, but they are most deserving of Big Ten Teams 9-11. Providence, Northeastern, BU-hate Hockey East 6-8. Cornell, Princeton, Clarkson ECHC, Meh 5. Michigan Tech--future conference mate, want WCHA to succeed. I know the grandpa of one of the players. 4. Air Force--USA, USA 3. Minnesota St.-Mankato--future conference mate, want WCHA to succeed. 2. UMD--NCHC Team. No problem with Style of Play, UND was this type of team not that long ago. 1. SCSU--NCHC Team. Never won a title. Best team this year. They deserve it. Besides will drive Mn Fan's Crazy.

LOL. That is my brother in-law. Lives out in CO. I remember watching the regional and thinking they are focusing on him a lot.

Sure you might have a team with an Arena with seating of around 2K, but there a several arenas much bigger that will offset that. Looking at last year as an example. Average Attendance per Regional was 4870. If you take the average capacity of the #1 seeds that made the tournament it is 6472. That is with Harvard that only have capacity of 2776. I'd have to believe most years total attendance is going to be greater having #1 seeds host. Besides the fact they are not paying travel expenses for the #1 seed to travel.

University of North Dakota where every game is a home game. #1 Seeds should be hosting Regional s, hopefully UND beats a higher seed in the first round and helps put a end to the "Neutral site" Regional s

At what point is it cheaper to Charter a plane than purchase X amount of Tickets. Hockey team charters a plane everywhere they fly. BB teams with players and coaches is about the same size as a hockey team. I call BS if the Women's team can't wait for the Men's game to be done before leaving on a Bus. If going back to Hotel, the bus makes 2 trips. If leaving they can wait an extra 2 hours.

If you want to take in a road game, much easier to justify seeing 2 games rather then 1. Not sure how it works with travel partners, but I could see catching 2 games at SDSU, than 2 day's later 2 at USD. I've heard some people complain that there is basketball every Thurs and Saturday, you don't get a break if you want to make every game. IMO Basketball games go to quick, If you are going to go I'd rather stay for 2.
