Big Green

Either we are a hockey town or just a Sioux Men's hockey town. They need a new coach. Do that and start winning the fan's will come. Women's hockey is a good alternative to people that can't afford tickets to the men's game. The whole student "athlete opportunities" does nothing for me. If no one is willing to watch them play than big deal. Women'shockey generates more fan interest then Tennis, Golf, Softball, Soccer and Swimming and Diving. Look there before cutiing Women's Hockey.

Doesn't it seat only 2k.

Agree with this 100%. Plus when they finally do play a home game they seem to get postponed due to weather. Also they generate zero dollars in ticket revenue. Same this with with M and W Golf.

With regard to GF hosting the Tourneyment every year can't UND just flex there muscle with the NCHC and be on the road the last Weekend of February every year? The Women could play early afternoon Friday, Saturday and Sunday if need be. We need to find a way to get this Tourneyment in GF every year.

Luckily we will be ouof the big sky in a year, but I would like to see the tourney go back to the top seed. Only top 4 seeds make it. It would cut costs, besides I think you should have to earn your way in

I think the Casual fan goes to be at the REA. Die hard fan is there to see UND no matter who they play. All about the TV Money IMO.

Minn and Mich on the left. All the Rest on the right. Michigan only because Omaha has very little interest to me long run. Once Blais is gone I thing they take over CC's spot at the bottom of the standings.

I don't see this as a good move for UND. Only chance to increase revenue is BTN money. I doubt UND would get much if any of that money. Hockey seems to be filler for the BTN, not sure they would benifit from giving any to UND.

They are 100% correct. They take a home game move it to a smaller arena that they have to rent that is a 3hr flight away. No wonder we have budget issues.

Season is not over. This board is killing me. Goalie stood on his head tonight and we lost, time to move on to next week.

Personally, I was hoping we would stay in the Big Sky for Football only, and Summit for all other sports. Football travel in the Big Sky only involves 4 games. Missouri Valley does nothing for me. At one point in time I cared about playing NDSU in football, now I could care less. They made it clear they did not want to play us anymore. I’m much more interested in Montana, Montana St and Cal Poly. We could of Scheduled Non-conference games with South Dakota and SD State. Oh well that ship has sailed.

link please

If I'm sdsu I use thunder struck and fill the video full of ndsu low lights.

Best Regular Season game by far was the 1993 NDSU game. That game ended the long losing streak against the Bison and started a pretty game run of dominance of the Sioux over the Bison and the rest of the NCC.

I’ll be interested to see if UND is in the Selections Committees top 10 when it comes out tomorrow. If they are then I will be excited. With all the different polls and bracketology it is tough to really get a handle on what needs to be done for UND to make the playoff and get a seed. Love the STATS Bracket though.

Positive- Big increase in INT's Neg-Too many big plays

I think it is a chicken or egg thing. People will not go until others want to go. We are a society of followers. Kind of like a packed bar. They could have crappy music and overpriced drinks, but look there is a line out the door that must be the place to be.

That is because hockey games are the place to be.

Somehow it needs to become the place to be. Part of what makes going to Sioux Hockey games so great is you are one of 12K that get to go. "I scored tickets to the hockey game” Anyone that wants to go to the Football ball game can easily get a ticket. I also don't think it helps that all home games are on TV. I know a few people that don’t go to the game because they can sit home and watch on TV for Free. Eat their own food and use their own bathroom.

I'm just glad to hear that they care.

IMO we have seen what Bartles can do for 3+ years and I’m not impressed. Brad should be the starter. Give him a full week at practice as the #1 guy and see what he can do.

3 very frustrating things I heard/witnessed yesterday at the game. While tailgating, I heard one young guy ask his buddy if they were planning on leaving at half to which he replied yep. On 4th and inches for the offense in the 1st quarter the fans in my section started to yell. After UND scored on the opening kickoff fans continued to stand in anticipation of UND kicking off. I couple fan were yelling at them to sit down. Not only do we have ways to go in getting fans to the game we need better fans.

What time does the Team show up? I'm not big into tailgating, but would like to be in the parking lot to see the team arrive and walk to the arena.

They use to give tickets to Jr champions club members. Would be nice to do that for this game.

Looks like if you have Midco it will be on Ch 4.
