Who would Danny hire?

National runner-up? Maybe the following year, 2001-2002 (first year of new REA, as someone pointed out).

I was one of the ones that thought a an off-season change at DC was the right move. Then I retreated a bit when I realized how much the defensive personnel changed from ‘21 to ‘22. But now we have an opportunity to upgrade our DC. Hopefully we do.

Not that I thought Jones was great (I thought it was mutually beneficial when he left), but an NCAA tournament game against a known basketball commodity with the crowd on your side as the role of underdog would be pretty sweet again.

Was this a replacement for someone (seems like someone left, but can't remember) or additional staff?

Interesting.

Agreed that our staff seems to be "picking their spots" when it comes to transfers - bringing in a few to fill holes, but not trying to turnover a large portion of the roster (thankfully, because that would mean major recruiting problems).

Isn’t there a game going on right now? I’m not at home, so I can’t watch.

I this stat chart is accurate, you would appear correct. https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=12163

Didn't Travis provide color commentary for Pat Sweeney on WDAZ Sioux hockey telecasts for a time (1980s)?

Ok. Still surprised they don't afford him the decency of listing him.

So, Amari Head did not sign?

Any media specials today, or has the early signing day taken over enough as 'the day' that today is kind of an afterthought?

Was about to ask the same.

If defensive improvements have been made through recruiting and the transfer portal, and offensive production does not drop off, this is a real possibility.

Frozen Four is in Tampa again this year, but it won’t be like last time

That's what I was thinking, too. Going to a running QB seems like regression.

No way SDSU will do what NDSU has done.

3 thoughts: 1. Thank you, Jacks. I was not impressed with your conduct in GF, but you were the lesser evil. 2. This game should have been the semifinal. 3. Let’s have the next MVFC team to win a natty be the University of North Dakota.

I hear ya. That's why I figure GF would have to be the "Junior" host city, with Winnipeg being the primary host city. Moncton, NB population is 79k, so not much different than GF. Hockey enthusiasm would be on par, perhaps better in GF.

I've long thought a joint Grand Forks / Winnipeg hosting would be awesome.

Is the first semi on now? Anybody watching? Score, etc?

2 if coaches/Tommy choose(s).

It's the way it should be. Even if we had hosted by a higher bid this year, I would still say that. I like the direction this is heading. Looks like the egregious error made by a few on the committee will have a positive outcome.
