    I have no problem with them celebrating the way they did. If we don't like it, our boys should've done something about it. 

    This Nails it perfectly.  

    ASU was brought in to be the Washington Generals and UND was to be the Globetrotters and they Spoiled the party.  Good for them, they deserved to celebrate.  I just hope it lights a fire under our team as they are under performing right now and should probably be 2-5.

    Unpopular take, but here it is: 

    No more destination games. 

    It's too much about the destination and not enough about the game. 

    I don't see this happening.  Personally I'm done with the destinations games.  They are silly.  I don't need to see a hockey game to go on vacation or to have follow UND fans on the same vacation.  The flights are way over priced.  The game get hyped up way more that it should be.  It is one non-conference game.

    From now on I'll wait for a frozen four game to over pay to watch a Sioux game in an NHL Arena.

    Sometime Tom Miller should ask Bubba about this.  If I was the head coach and it was an issue, I'd definitely be talking to someone about it and put a stop to it.  So makes me wonder if it really is an issue for our team and players, or is it in our heads.  

    I think Bubba would prefer it to be quiet when they are on offense, but unless we are selling out the Al and there is demand for tickets he doesn't was to ruin the atmosphere in hopes that this keeps bringing fans back and attracts more fan's.  Besides they have only lost 1 time at home in the last few seasons so it must be be affecting the offense that much.

    but, but.......Look at our compliance with Title IX, second to none!! Look at our team GPA!!  And, our smart but cautious approach on NLI!!(needs more research)  Plus, our coaches focus on the kids instead of getting bogged down on spending side money on outside motivational speakers with magic potions!!!  We proudly strive to be average the right way!!

    With NIL every athlete can go make as much money as companies are willing to pay them.  The school should have little to do with it.  The Athlete should go market themselves or the business should reach out to them.

    Interesting how jealous they are of our facilities. 

    It kind of puts a little perspective on all the complaining that goes on about funding for UND Football.  It could be a lot worse.

  6. Historicity UND is a different team at home.  2-2 is probably where we expected to be.  Important game next week.  Need to have a good week of practice and make a run.  Season is not over.

    ? Makes no sense 

     

    you don’t plan on not converting, you’re hoping to get to 24-17 given the defense can’t stop anyone. Going to 24-13 does nothing If you give up points again 

    24-17 does nothing is you can’t stop them either.  Needed to end drive with positivity. At some point defense needs to stop them to win. Otherwise it doesn’t matter what offense does

    I went and listened and he did say "FBS". Makes you wonder, just comparing facilities to "top tier", just thinking aloud, as someone said "Freudian" maybe, still, interesting ... 

    Before some jump all over this saying "too small!", the much beloved SHSU Bearkats are going FBS in 2023 with a stadium presently rated to hold ... 12,593. The Al is 12,283 for football. 

    Where did you find the interview to listen. I would like to listen to it.

    Nebraska has a better roster than the top MVFC team and it’s not even close. But ok you are the expert….

    My response was to someone saying NE wouldn’t win the MVFC.  But they are proud of UND.  I’m just saying it doesn’t make sense.

    I’m not sure Nebraska could win the MVFC let alone win another BIG10 Game this year - Proud of the Boys and Wish the Squad Well!

    Proud of a 21pt loss to a team not good enough to win the MVFC.  I has happened to our fan base.

    this may have been covered, and if so , i appoligize, but are people actually happy with the earlier start times for the games, or am i in the minority.  it really makes it a challenge if you work until 5;30-6:00 on a friday, and it kinda limits to what you can plan to do on a saturday.  (this is if you attend the game in person)

    Hate the earlier start times.  IMO it was done to increase food sales on saturday night.  More people will eat dinner at the game.

    Go to any other UND sporting event other than hockey and you will be proven wrong.  I am a fan of UND.  Have been for decades.  I have Fighting Hawks sweatshirts, t shirts, quarterzips, hats, etc.  Same applies for thousands of UND fans.  "Most" is a pretty agressive (and vague) number.  There is plenty of Fighting HAwks gear around.  Attend a game outside the Ralph and you will see that.

     

    Yes, you are right that Hawks gear is worn at non-hockey sporting events.  Big deal.  You rarely see it around town.  This used to feel like a Sioux Town.  It is not a Hawks town or a Sioux Town anymore.

    Went to the new Scheels store in Minot and the NDSU clothes outnumbered UND clothes 4-1.

    What the heck is going on at UND to let themselves become second fiddle to the ag school!?!?!?

    Is it the crappy logo that no one wants to buy? Is the state no longer a big fan of UND teams compare to NDSU? 
     

    Either way this doesn’t look for UND!

    100% the logo.  There was pride in the Sioux Logo.  I'm still a big fan of the school and own a few items with the Hawks logo on it.  IBH the merchandise sucks now.

  14. Top 5 are easy.  The order to tougher.  3 National Championships, 1997 Regional Championship and 2014 Big Sky Championship.

    I would put in this order

    1. 1997 Regional championship.  Only because this game shifted the power on D2 Women's B-Ball to UND.  It was also basically the national championship.

    2. 1997 National Championship.  1st one is always the best.

    3. 1999 National Championship.  3 peat is tough

    4. 1998 National Championship.  National championship>Conference Championships

    5 2014 Big Sky Championship.

    Anyone know what is going into the old Gordmans space ?  

    I was told by someone that works at Target that Target is expanding into the old Gordmans space.

    It's a good read. 

    If Spicer had followed the ask and come in 2023, he'd still be one of the younger forwards at college entry this century. 

    I still wonder and we will probably never know, but what was communicated to Spicer as far of when he was to come in.  If he was under the impression that he was coming in this coming year than I don't blame him for wanted to move on.  Sometimes you have your heart set on something and feel like you are ready for college.  I would agree he should be waiting an other year before college, but i just hope Berry is not telling recruits what they want to hear to string them a long.

     

  17. Since the New Ralph was build UND has 1 National Championship, Denver 4 and UMD 3.  We can brag about top 10 finishes and conference championships.  1 NC in the 20+ years they have played in the New Ralph is pretty sad.  Yes 1 and done tournaments make it harder for the best team to always win, but there should be times when UND is winning in the NCAA tourney when they are not the better team.  Everyone of Berry's NCAA loses were bad loses and we make excuses.  Lost to BU in OT in 2017 in front of home crowd and it is because the ref's screwed us over on the Video review.  Lost to UMD and it is because UMD didn't play the day before, never mind the fact it took until a pulled goalie situation for UND to score 2 goals and UND caught a break when UMD was called for offsides on first game winning goal.  This year we lose to ND and caught a break when they score SH goals right after Period ends.  Berry celebrates like we won championship, when he should be embarrassed his team let that happen.  We use the fact we have so may new players as excuse.  Even though Denver is just as young as UND and wins National Championship.

    Oh in 2020 we didn't win because covid cut the season short.  It has become apparent that Covid avoided the embarrassment of losing in the Regional.

    And if Driscoll starts Saturday against Omaha, a team that loves running our goalies, and gets hurt then it’s “why the hell is Driscoll even playing”?

    UND definitely struggled down the stretch putting the puck in the net but  that doesn’t make them quitters.

    Maybe to some.  

    I just can't get on board with that.  If there is concern about him getting hurt then just don't ever play him.  They won 1/2 of a penne rose and lost all momentum.
