Twins have now been swept in 6 of their 9 series this season. That's hard to do even for their sorry azz team.
I don't know, this is getting Les Steckel season-like...disaster.

well, since I am a early 30s female....you might have to keep looking.
Not that there is anything wrong with welling up while reading articles.
Thx, I feel better now. Yesterday our 18 year old daughter who just got home from completing her 1st year at MN St - Mankato was reading the Schlossman article (I got her an extra copy of the GF Herald Supplement) and she even shed had a few tears (surprised me). For once my wife could not understand why she shed a tear over the article but as old pops I could completely relate (huge Sioux hockey fan since late 70s) with our great teams but near misses for the past 16 hears. Daughter is a Mavs purple cow fan now (in the pep band there) bless her, but at heart having grown up in EGF with pops a UND alumnus and huge Sioux hockey fan and having taken her to many a game at the Ralph deep down her heart still bleeds green. Other daughter is at U-Wis and she sits in the Badger student section end to cheer them sure (she picked a rotten 2 -3 years to attend there being she's a hockey fan!) on but same situation, deep down she still bleeds green. And for that, I'm glad.

I don't dare read it again. I had to stop three times because I couldn't see through the tears the first time!
Damn, so I'm not the only middle aged guy whose eyes welled up a bit while reading it (not that I would tell anyone). I guess 16 years of mostly all real good seasons but waiting (and I'm not by any means a Haks basher) does that to one.

I wonder if having a million or two people within 75 miles helps fill that stadium.
It's equivalent to having the U of M campus in St. Cloud. Pretty easy drive the "metro" fans to attend.
I assume you're talking Milwaukee. No clue, they likely do in numbers, but I just don't know how many make the trek. I'm guessing Chicago metro also has a fair number of Badger alums attending ftbl games too. I think Madison is a larger version of Sioux hockey attendance, rabid fan base with very successful ftbl teams these past 20 - 25 years and they fill plenty of seats.

Don't know much about her. Is that breaking new ground being a female commish of a D1 conf or old hat? I've got no clue.

It must not cost much in Champions Club dues for women's hockey tickets, but it must cost something, since there was a dollar figure for it. At $15/ticket with 5 to 6 thousand paying fans per game, that $410,000 figure for football tickets seems reasonable. Are There really 25 home mens hockey games a year? That seems high to me. And if the Champions Club is taking in $4.5 million a year and giving less than $3 million to UND athletics, what are they doing with the other $1.5 million?
I'm thinking the Sioux hockey team plays like 18-20 home games a season.

Almost 3 times as many people in their metro area? More than 600,000 people in the Boise metro versus about 225,000 in the Fargo metro.
Hey, I'm no Bison fan but Madison has maybe 350,000 folks or so (maybe another 100K in MSA?) and they pack 85,000 just about every home game in Camp Randall. Albeit, home attendance ain't the only thing that dictates/stamps FBS level football though.

How many 6'3" 250 LB linebackers sign at FCS schools? That is what he is trying to tell you. If he was that size he may have had P5 offers, and he may have taken one of those offers over a UND offer.
Point on. Like Wentz (size not an issue there), had some big-time FBS/P5 schools recruited him I'm sure he would of gone elsewhere besides NDSU or C Mich (?) I gotta think.

Miami of Ohio has History of Success, they have a bigger endowment then UND and their location is a lot better then UND's.
Seriously, I'm not being glib but Miami of OH has "History of Success" as regards hockey?. Define "History" (length of time) and trophies? To me it seems like they've had several seasons nice run but even that's got some splatters (e.g. this season). Maybe being a Sioux hockey fan we're spoiled/higher standards maybe.

I can solve the concourse width issue quite easily: When you're gabbing with (friends/relatives/business associates/that hot hook-up you're trying to get) how about you don't dead-stop in the middle of the concourse but instead step to the side. I see it in every arena in this region. It's like people don't think about the folks trying to move through the same space.
You do make a valid point, I'm guilty too. I guess it's akin to stopping in the middle of the road (aisle) versus taking it to the shoulder (sides of aisle).

and the rich (NCHC) keep getting richer.
Odd to see Magness is only two years older than the Ralph.
Just having been to Tampa (and the X) I do wish the Ralph had more "concession space." (and I'm sure REA had a larger area for the bands to play)
The halls are tight walking around and there isn't much leisure area....in Tampa there was "standing bar areas" where I could scarf down my hotdog without getting constantly bumped into which was nice. To me that's the main thing getting outdated about the new Ralph: small, plain jane halls.
Not to mention the "entire ice is a projector screen" as seen in Tampa (and other NHL arenas). And the scoreboard is quickly becoming outdated.
with all the money the Ralph makes on beer and hockey tickets they need to update/make bigger the scoreboard (first thing first though, add a video board to the Betty).

Expanded? So they can accommodate even more Fighting Sioux fans?

HE'S A WITCH! BURN HIM AT THE STAKE!
I'm melting! Daughter always jokes she's been at Wis nearly 3 years now and she's just happened to be there when for 2 years they've been "historically bad" (men's hockey). Poor timing! Her heart, deep down, is still with UND hockey though.

Not saying there aren't but none of the NCHC schools are on the same page academically as the B1G schools. To claim that someone would be crazy to pick a B1G over any NCHC is pretty absurd on a few different levels. Obviously there are a lot of variables that go into that decision and there are advantages and disadvantages to both sides.
Agree. I'm a UND alumni but I have a daughter who is attending Wis and I never realized until I was researching universities with her how well Wis and eve Minn too are ranked academically, along of course with Mich and N'Western as well. They are very reputable schools nationally and world-wide even. And that's by no means a knock on UND and other like schools. In fact, I still think while a reputable school listed on the old resume sure helps get a foot in the door that in the end great employees/workers/managers/you name it come from ALL schools (including UND, Denver, ...) and the individual matters the most ultimately.

So what about 3 years of .500 hockey? 5 years? etc. Yes, nattys are great and last forever, but we don't. It certainly makes my life more enjoyable in the meantime being relevant every year with at least a hope for that Natty. I love Natty's just as much as the next guy, but don't know if I could handle mediocrity all the other years, which for the most part has been Duluth's circumstance.
And Wis lately.

The Wild have scored 2 goals in their last 14 periods of play. Looks like it's going to be 15 soon.
I don't care about the injuries, they gotta blow this team up. Offensive top end goal scoring skill is lackluster.

When denver scored that second goal, it felt like we'd lost. A tie game is one thing. A tie game in which the other team has the vast majority of the momentum and the season and a chance at the title is on the line is another. As the camera zoomed in on UND fans around the arena, the vast majority looked utterly deflated.
Then, Schmaltz scored. It was the most unexpected and elating rollercoaster of emotions I've ever experienced at a game. I usually scream "woooh!!!!" or something when we score. This time, I just plain screamed. My brother jumped so high, I wish I had video. The poor little girl behind us had been sleeping and woke up crying from the noise haha. The only game I can think of that felt kinda like that was out at CC a number of years ago when we tied it with 9 seconds left and then won in OT, and the stakes weren't nearly as high then.
It took all of 10 seconds for the elation to return to panic as Denver applied heavy pressure to even it up. That's probably the loudest I've ever cheered for an empty netter too.
As a whole, that was one of the most nerve wracking yet enjoyable games I've ever seen, and it was worth every penny to be there. That being said, it's not done, and I fully expect to need copious amounts of Xanax and albuterol on Saturday night.
Wow, well said/captured--was there and that's me.

You make a good point although Bem does play us tough those son of a guns. But yes, would love to see non-conf action each season vs Minn State.
