Ahh, good to know. Must have been recent years?

I don't believe Red River has ever missed state.

Too bad Ralph’s still not around to fund NIL contracts …

How were Maynard’s vocals on The Pot?

Yeah, did I see that right? Rather than directing the puck into the corner, he redirected it right to the middle of the slot.

They're owned/leased by the young guys' employer, and the business writes off the payments.

I don’t know if I’d always agree with you, Brendan Morrison circa 1997. I’ll put my money on the smurfs over your Wolverines any day of the week.

Sorry, you were responding to a comment about winning "major recruiting battles" against other "blue bloods", and I presumed that was the context of your response. So it was pretty concerning if Jason Blake's son was the second person that came to mind when discussing winning major recruiting battles. Perron's a great recruit no doubt, but he always wanted to be at UND, so not sure how much of a battle it was to get him to UND either.

Jackson Blake? If Brad Berry can't win battles for legacy recruits, then maybe he should be canned.

He’s a 7th round pick, though, not a top-10 selection. No room for him at Michigan.

For sure. Kid has a rifle for a shot.

I hear ya. I feel the same way about the stats of the league leader, Stephen Halliday.

Kinda weird then that the only side of the REA scoreboard we can see in the top picture has three Fighting Hawks logos on it. And wait, does the new fascia LED ribbon circling the arena also have a few Fighting Hawks logos? Oh god, look at the new banners--a few more Fighting Hawks logos! Does REA know that all future banners need to have the Sioux logo?!?!

This has to be more likely. If he didn’t want to play another year of juniors, why de-commit and play another year of juniors? Rizzo didn’t commit to Denver until last January. And, at least at that time, claimed he went back to juniors to play his way into a better situation. My guess is Rizzo wasn’t going to get a the top 6 role or power play time he wanted with the caliber of last year’s team.

So 1994's jersey with ... gray stripes ... ?

Met Pat McAdaragh from Midco says UND going to get a decent payday opening up Augustana University rink.

These types of ridiculous lawsuits will quickly fall victim to the Tennessee COVID-19 Recovery Act, which like most state laws, bar these lawsuits unless plaintiffs can meet a high standard of proof that the they caught COVID due to Bridgestone's gross negligence.

Appalachian State ended up FCS national champions; Michigan didn't win 10 games. In hindsight, that game wasn't the upset that some make it out to be. Kind of like in 2016 when NDSU beat Iowa, who ended up 8-5.

I'm still looking for an authentic white Nike dazzle Sioux Jersey circa mid/late 2000s. If anyone's able to help out this hardcore Sioux fan, I will definitely pay you a lot more money than the jersey is worth and/or be happy to discuss trading other Sioux jerseys/memorabilia. Go Sioux!

Really hate the "sloppy, clumsy way it was announced - with the team on the ice, practicing" narrative. NCAA allowed one hour of organized practice time per week. Everyone saw the writing on the wall and knew the date and time the announcement was going to be made. Idalski knowingly scheduled that one hour practice at the exact same time the announcement was going to be made. He did it for optics and to throw egg on his employer's face. Shame on him. And yeah, UND (men's) hockey has a great tradition, which makes it all the more embarrassing that despite that tradition, the hockey facilities, the heralded Lammy twins, and a parade of European Olympians, UND women's hockey never managed to win a single NCAA playoff game. Ever. EVER.

Really, really don't want to see them hit 10 before we hit 9. It'd be even more painful after squandering the 48-11-5 record over the last 2 years.

Correct. Rowe committed to UND in October 2018, when Scheel was a freshman at UND. You may also be right about Scheel replacing Karki.

Scheel left early; his original replacement, Cameron Rowe, is now at Wisconsin; our current recruits are still developing; and Driscoll is a superior option.

Agree that Sandy had some growing pains in the 2000s . . . . But, he also had Duluth in the Frozen Four in April 2004 just a month before Blais left for Columbus that May.
