Which game? This is awesome!!!

That man has what it takes….lots of integrity and humble.Putting his players first!

Mussman was a very young, inexperienced with no previous head coach experience. He had a young team and it seemed very little support from the AD (at least the season progressed). A word of caution here: we also have a new HC and I hope the AD and athletic department supports. In health care, many times a new nurse is thrown into situations beyond her (his) capabilities. Sometimes these people just walk away from the profession…sad to lose qualified people due to administrative decisions. I am not saying Mussman was a good coach. I am saying he did not get the support he needed. Please make sure Schmidt gets what he needs….not just $$$.

Well ND looks tough, powerful but I am cheering for Penn. I loved the 4th quarter of the AZ TX game. I wish AX had won. They left their hearts on the field!

If it gets too much….the AD should step in. Don’t you think he should have some oversight anyway with a new coach and his first year as HC? Couldn’t the AD take over some admin tasks and let him build his coaching staff and team? Sounds too simple to happen. I want Schmidt to succeed, like we we all do!

Not sure who to cheer for!

So was this expected? https://www.google.com/gasearch?q=danny freund&source=sh/x/gs/m2/5

You’re right…every other word is pay. I agree with you but I grudgingly support it. The horse is out of the barn with NIL. as far as players being “recruited” to follow coaches….what profession has social integrity anymore? It is a changed world.

And maybe that is the one who does all the blocking so the LB get the sacks.

Being a MN girl (ancestors here 1857, 1858 (2), and 1880), I have always cheered for UND hockey. Not sure why. When the North Stars went to Dallas (thanks Norm Green), I quit pro hockey and watched just college.I can be pretty rabid at hockey games..almost got a bench penalty once and then one time my 100# friend tackled me after Zi made an obscene gesture to an opponent’s father. God knew what he was doing getting our of hockey!

Might take more than 6 to 12 months. I still do not know if anyone (quality players and whoever we need) have entered the transfer portal and would like to follow him to UND.

Great to see all the discussion and ownership (and nit-picking?) over our recruits!!! Can’t wait for 2025!

Amen….

Most of those NIL groups are 501c3 and do not need to release the financial awards (you do see players driving $90,000 Ram pick ups right after signing from the dealership major sponsor). So, there is a tremendous amount of pressure on the players AND coaches. Are coaches obligated to play the highest paid guy OR the one with the ability? Many times it is not the same and the player getting less money is more dedicated and works hard (blocks for the Star runner?). Also, all that cash in the hands of 18 to 23 year old young men. Really not too good. Many NIL groups have financial advisors. Does the NIL group dry up your alumni donations? Immediate or long term? I am not a real fan of NIL. As far as the transfer portal… staying and improving each year is worth something, right? Some are in their third college or fourth in 4 or 5 years. I never follow anyone to see if they actually play more…other than hearing the announcer say something on TV. Not sure how the NCAA will be handling all of this but for sure there should be no transfers until after the season is over… several teams are facing issues during the play offs. either way….GO UND!

I am trying to decide which I like less…the transfer portal or NIL….
