If you read some of the articles in the Denver Post over the past couple of months, you may start to feel bad for MK because you will see that he really has been railroaded. A chorus of the usual, noisy minority of suspects on campus, and their hymn of 'diversity and equality above all' sung as a thin veil for 'my way is the only way and I've no tolerance for any other viewpoint.'

How ironic...the hosting of NCAA championships was a big (but obviously not the only) carrot in the retirement of UND's nickname.
Now, it may not even matter. A ban occasioned not by the Fighting Sioux, but rather the Fighting SiouXXY.

It comes down to balancing giving more kids the opportunity to play versus potentially competing for championships. With (3) teams they will be very watered down. The chances of competing with the top east teams would be cut dramatically. I personally don't buy into the argument that creating a 3rd team will cause kids not to play, or for more kids to take the junior route.
It's essentially the same situation with their girls team.
Short-term hit, long-term gain. It happens in growing suburbs all the time. In a few years, they could all be contenders.

I’m gonna buck the consensus and prevailing sentiment here and say that while rooting for St Cloud has its own merits, Duluth is the best (only?) choice in Pittsburgh.
If UMD does not win it all, then the absolutely epic battle for the ages in Fargo Saturday night into Sunday morning will have been for naught. Love or hate the Bulldogs, how can UND fans possibly want any other outcome than having gone toe-to-toe for 6+ hours with the eventual NC? Nothing else will soothe that wound, IMHO.
Besides, as most have noted, it keeps the title in the NCHC for yet another year.

Agreed. I wear a seat belt, drive defensively, and don't golf in thunderstorms. I can reduce risk for this too.
Wuss.

Tests, tests, tests...
One year in, has anyone even mathematically correlated a positive test to sickness, severity of sickness, or contagiousness?
What confirmatory test protocols are in place to rule out false positives?
Have QA/QC standards been implemented to ensure test validity and technician competence?
Are PCR cycle counts still a variable?
Has the specificity or affinity of the test kits for specific pathogens been characterized with any certainty?

Sure, if you're looking to join that illustrious list with The Buggles, Lou Vega, Vanilla Ice, and The Weather Girls.
It was Lou Bega, who gave us the unforgettable Mambo No. 5.
Although, one could be forgiven for thinking of Suzanne Vega, but she's probably a two-hit wonder...Luka and Tom's Diner.

Well St. Cloud vs. BC, who punches their ticket to Philly.
Now THAT is a socially distanced tournament.

Maybe we were not as dominant as was thought.
The weight of expectation.
Duluth, despite a hell of a run, still enjoys a little bit of anonymity (dwarfed by older cousin Goldie and next door superpower UND) and gets to be the perennial, ‘small school’ underdog.

Will there be a seventh period stretch?

There should be no reason not to play in the earlier time slot.. all players are sitting a motel room or at the rink
Hopefully in an autoclave.

NOW we can start sharpening our asterisk pencils, right?
The legitimacy of the title with a bye or two out of a field of 68 is one thing, but 16?

My question is the hornbackers store is way bigger then a regular Aldi store. I wonder if they'll use the whole store ?
Plenty of room for a Pepperjax.

FYI.....Fargo Force games in Scheels Arena allow seating capacity of 75% or 3750 fans. This regional will have 1500 per game.

INT LFG
That's some delay.

This is going to sound petty, but the Midco pre-game hosts are wearing masks, while there are at least two pairs of the KVLY pre-game crew (field and booth) who aren't. And the Midco guys just look plain silly. And their muffled voices are ridiculous.
Advantage: NDSU

Sure you can. But, I'm feeling like that is a bit short sided.
Feels like not a lot to judge someone's character on, however. Knowing our program and our reputation and history of recruiting the talent level and type of person we recruit (with a few exceptions and incidents, of course), I'd say that gives some solid insight that the kid is likely pretty well-rounded.
As the saying goes, you only get one chance to make a first impression.

You think these players don't have maturity, character or critical reason skills? Honestly? Goodness.
Other than a single Tweet that obviously was planned, composed, and required some thought, and reflection by the author, and served as his official introduction to the UND hockey community and a significant milestone in his life...what else would I have to go on?
Can we not assess or judge people on their own acts and words? Or is play on the ice the sole determinant?

Let's give thanks for CBS Sports for showing the trophy presentation. They certainly didnt have to do that.
Women's semi-pro volleyball has the night off.

If nothing else tonight, I learned that there is such a thing as semi-pro women’s volleyball. On TV. Live. And that’s a win in my book.

For the record, 1:13 of game time missed for...semi-pro women’s volleyball??? How much did CBS pay for the FF broadcast rights?

One could deduce that GF has been greatly hampered by the post-Cold War transition at the AFB. Nukes -> Tankers -> Drones(?)...no inside info here, but from the outside the scaling down of the base's mission has not been kind to the local economy. If they closed it altogether, would it even be felt at this point?
During that same period, GF has endured cuts and austerity at UND, and more recently, a weak Canadian dollar.
Recipe for disaster.
Meanwhile, seems that everything keeps coming up aces for Fargo.
