Sad to see what used to be the best atmosphere in college hockey reduced to that...

Get Trey Anderson in here. Don't firget about Harris and Brown, they showed they can play a little bit last season. I'd like to see a transfer CB. Fill the gap to the younger guys.

You don't know football... Man. It's just not your thing.

AZSIOUX is Payton Manning you're Joe Montana.

Grain Belt

That's why you make every game thread in the NCAAs.

Can we hire John Elway as AD?

Life in ND is pretty damn easy.

Gong show. We all look like a bunch of jackasses.

It sure was great in the 70s.... Basketball is nice and cheap. Shoes and shorts and balls. Small roster on top of that. It's an easy sport to boost financially. Hockey and football on the other hand are not cheap. Cut women's hockey and baseball and get things to where they should be logically and UND will flourish. Chances of that happening.... Slim at this point.

How much did women's hockey suck from that? The best option is to have good bball, easy, and have good football along with hockey.

Drop baseball. UND doesn't give two shits about that sport anymore.

And boom goes the dynamite. Pretty spot on here. The "leadership" at UND has been pretty questionable. I disagree about the Hak thing though. I watched that almost dissolve the football program. It was closer to happening than people think. The Big Sky was ready to block our asses if we had held on to the nickname. Football would have been liquidated as a result. I've always been apposed to having women's hockey at UND. It makes no money and costs a ton.

I'll be honest, thats a horrible idea.

What can be done at the Alerus to make it more of a home until football gets back on campus? fwhenever that will be) The new video boards were a massive upgrade. They made a huge difference and look great when UND scores and they all light up in unison with green and white. The concourse needs to be UND'd. The mural along the sidelines and the mural of Danny Freund and co at the main entrance are great, but they need to be replicated in the main concourse. When walking around to grab a beer or some dip n dots you couldn't tell who you were there to watch if not for other people wearing the gear. Each column can have a mural of a former great player with their stats. Sound familiar? It's one of the best features of the Englestad. It would put a stamp of the building and mark the territory. UND pennants or something hanging from the ceiling with years of conference championships and the national championship? Cheap and easy. Tailgating. There has been some effort put towards tailgating and I realize that without great teams brining great crowds tailgating will never be great, but it can be better. A great tailgate starts things off on the right foot for the team. They walk through an amped up crowd and get pumped to give them their money's worth. As apposed to the instant buzz kill that happens when the players walk through 40 enthusiastic but lonely fans on the way in. Tailgating needs to become an event, hopefully winning will help but some tweaks are in order to take it to the next level. New speakers in the stadium. The current system sounds like crap. No bass at all. Revamp that with whatever they have in the Englestad and get the Alerus really bumbing on third downs. Turf. The new surface is great. But. There is still that concrete gap between the stands and the turf..... It's fugly, looks like a joke, and is dangerous to players. A roll of turf is needed to fill those gaps. It will look a million times more legit and also will be 100x safer for players when they score a TD and are trying to stop. I've seen way too many guys sliding on that crap with their cleats. I don't want to wait for a star player to break their wrist for this to be fixed.

Watch out for Li Ning in the future. China's Nike already has some NBA players wearing their shoes.

Nice to see some actual writing coming out of the Herald

Speaking of, Goon could you get a video of Pattyn being a goon?

To be fair Faison and Kelley are not the first two UND admins to lack vision. Even ol Roger Thomas was too comfortable with where we were in D2. We need some passion and vision in the admin offices to take it to the next level. Bubba is a good step in the right direction. Maybe he will be our next AD if he has success with football? Either way effort needs to be put forth to improve the perception of UND athletics and in turn UND.

Green pants..... I've always been partial to black pants with green jerseys.

Save it for the playoffs. Don't blow your load prematurly.

All hail gfhockey

Ball game. Might as well start the bus back to Duluth.

Interesting at call by NDSU with the pass to the tackle.

They will make the playoffs for the foreseeable future. They only have to be top 24, it won't be hard for them.
