During the intermission of their first Mens Basketball game, Tennessee State just ran a very well produced 5 minute feature about their pursuit of adding a D1 hockey program. They appear to be VERY serious... even mentioned construction of a new arena and quickly showed a rendering. They have not started their official fundraising drive yet, but given the quality of the video and the apparent passion for this project from their AD, I think they could actually get this done.

Has anyone ever reported the dollar amount teams actually bid for these games? Edit: Found some for Nichols and JMU https://www.houmatoday.com/story/sports/college/2018/11/17/nicholls-makes-aggressive-bid-to-host-fcs-playoffs-for-second-straight-year/8347364007/ https://jamesmadison.rivals.com/news/final-tally-dukes-lose-126k-on-playoff-game/printable

Or Fargo media wants more clicks (and ego boost).

Guy is a clown.

I love the 3-4 defense, but if our D is so complicated that it takes a couple years to learn it, it may be time to re evaluate the strategy here. Find a D that can allow us to take advantage of the portal, so we can fill spots when needed. I really like our Offense right now, so I don't think that should change. With the T portal the way it is today, we don't have a large enough roster to have both a confusing offense and defense, because attrition will kill us with less guys staying in the system long enough to learn the system and thrive. A guy like Buckner should be able to have a larger impact, otherwise I fear we will constantly be rebuilding the D.

Following. Planning on my first rink this year as well.

Anyone else annoyed that so many P5 schools don't have a decent message board? There's paid message boards on websites like rivals and 24/7, but the only topics are narrowly focused on fb and bb. Is there an online community anywhere for ASU hockey fans (other than a USCHO thread)? Just baffles me that schools like UND, NDSU, UNI, SDSU, USD, Montana, etc. all have such quality, free, message boards, but bigger schools have crap, and the crap they do have normally isn't even free.

This is great and all, but It would be nice to see UND do this in the tailgate lot on Saturday, given that there is a family four pack promo for $20....

Scanned. See post 7 of this thread.

We all know this, but happy to see Sam tweet this info out today.

Yeah, the rea signs the contracts with the destination arenas, not und.

That's what companies like the Brandr group are for. https://www.thebrandrgroup.com/licensing

It's tough being a UND FB fan sometimes. Two of my three close UND friends only bring up UND Football when we lose. Or, when I finally get them to watch a game, we choke. We went through school during the transition and the Muss years left a long lasting, bad, impression. We need a win this coming weekend.

Something like this needs to be a top priority and it's 100% legit and aligned with the spirit of the original NIL rules. I hope Chaves doesn't think a wait and see approach is necessary for something like this. UND could sell authentic hockey jerseys with the names and numbers of current players, and they could sell jirts of current players as well. https://frontofficesports.com/college-football-jersey-sales/

This map is wrong. Where the housing market it hot, the map should show red. Where it's cold, the map should show blue!

Do you know where I might be able to find that agreement online?

I see these being real popular. Here is the first item. Sounds like it may be sold out at the Sioux Shop already. Does anyone know if the Dacotah Legacy collection is still sold at Scheels, and if not, does anyone know if it is exclusive to the Sioux Shop, and if so, why? I was researching this a little bit because I really think a partnership between UND and Homefield Apparel could work out great, but I don't know if there is a hang up somewhere or if there is a reason why UND wouldn't want a company like Homefield Apparel to sell UND stuff.. I emailed UND's new Licensing person about Homefield and she replied by saying this: "I met with Homefield a couple weeks ago and had an introductory conversation with them. We are still working through this internally if we want to move forward with a license with them and what that would look like for us. At this time I do not think it is a feasible timeline for Homefield to be carrying UND branded products by the end of this year. If anything further comes from this I will be sure to let you know." I followed up by replying with this email: "Thank you, Alyson. Quick question - given that Homefield likes to use old logos, I would think that there could be a hangup with the Sioux logos; is the Dacotah Legacy stuff exclusive to the Sioux Shop? I assume UND needs to figure out what they want to do in regard to branding strategy, given our unique history? I hope you can work out a deal with them at some point, because they have fun and unique designs, and there aren't a ton of exciting options out there right now. For the record, I asked about the Sioux Logo, but I have accepted UND's new logo and have/will purchase clothing with both logos. A flickertails shirt would be fun as well, in addition to more football stuff! Thanks for doing what you do! " I sent the follow up email twice and have not gotten a response, and it's been over a month now. Does anyone have any insight into this and what the hangup may be for UND when tons of other schools are working with them? I'm only asking here because my email was ignored. I did a google search to see if the Legacy stuff was sold anywhere other than the Sioux Shop, and I found that a bunch of stuff that is sold at https://fightingsiouxforever.com/collections/legacy-fighting-sioux. Does anyone know if that website is legit - are they selling officially licensed apparel?

Looks like Google streetview was just updated last month for dt grand forks.

Montana 7 with Idaho 24 is a joke as well.

Nobody wants St. Thomas offering MN kids FB scholarships. imo

Awesome.

Awesome. Thanks for the info. Might help to convince another family to drive up.

I'd rather be at the SDSU game but I'll be at the Gopher game because I live in the cities. Have been wanting to head up to UND for a football game but it has been tough with a couple kids under three. Might actually drive up for the ACU game if anyone has 4 tickets they want to unload . Game won't be as loud, kids can go to the water park, and it would be fun to watch the Vegas game from one of the bars at the Canad. Really, the ACU game would be a great time for UND to run some type of family ticket promotion. They could also encourage season ticket holders who will be in Vegas to donate their tickets to local kids - not sure if they have a program like that already or not.

With all the motions UND runs, does it make it harder for the opponents defense to communicate?

That's not fair. Gfhockey actually has some good takes and contributes. Chapo is a straight up wack job.
