Bubba wasn't quite as old as I thought he was, but this deal should take him to retirement (hopefully).

I'm a little confused why it's called a 4 year extension (maybe because it's 4 more seasons from now?), but his initial contract was through the 2021 season, so an additional 2 years, by my math.

Someone has to take down the Bison. We can't let them win the football national championship AND go to the big dance.

Goehring will be HC of this program at some point, I predict.

Same with #89 Maag. Lots of plays in their future, hopefully. Who is #82 - is he also a receiver?

I don't see us giving up more than 2 goals. Hopefully our scoring is a little more potent than last Saturday and we can get 3 on the board. I'll add an empty-netter in the final minute for a 4-2 final.

In hindsight, this has proven to be true. To be fair, I don't think anyone that was familiar with the NCC 20 years ago, including those from the XDSUs, but especially those from the UXDs, would have imagined the level of DI success that was eventually realized by all 4 schools, especially NDSU in football. UND was especially caught off guard because our flagship sport already had solid DI footing and success, and we didn't think the other stuff was necessary. The real mistake was trying to replicate the men's hockey success to the women's side instead of building real DI football and basketball rosters. It's definitely an "if only..." part of UND's past, but we are in a much better position today, and hopefully we're on a level playing field with the other Dakota schools ASAP.

As a city, I personally don't find Las Vegas that enticing, but I do think it would make for a fabulous Frozen Four host. I think a lot of people would be excited to go there for it. Good time of year weather-wise, too.

I think this matches my opinion exactly.

Amen. I've long believed that no NCAA football program should out-recruit UND in Canada.

Glad our foreign recruiting connections (Canada, Netherlands) are still in tact.

FBS is a whole 'nother animal.

On the other hand, if I were out of a job, but had an opportunity to make close (~92% anyways) to what I made before, it seems like I might take that opportunity.

https://openpayrolls.com/scott-t-underwood-36993379 "Scott T Underwood worked for St. Cloud State University (SCSU) and in 2017 had a reported pay of $109,012.74" I don't know what Schmidt made as DC, but probably less than that. Just a guess.

If that's true, then we need the new DC to be a better defense recruiter than Schmidt was.

I'm not expecting "splashy" based on name alone (I don't even know who that would be), but I want to see the defense improve. We got the offensive upgrade we needed, now let's the get the defensive one.

That could have been part of the impetus for Schmidt to take the opportunity. Congrats to him. He obviously does enough right things to earn that opportunity, but I for one think Schmidt had a few too many games where his defense wasn't up to snuff, so I am dearly hoping Bubba nails his DC pick out of the park and gets UND back to being a force of nature on D.

Watched at home on Midco, but considering going to Wednesday night's game.

Yes, stupid penalty to take.

Perfect! Thanks.

I have NHL Network at home from Midco, but unfortunately Midco does not offer that channel as part of their TV Everywhere.

No dice here. Computer immediately sends me to DOC to PDF. the Youtube live link worked awesome the other day.
