That bracketology was done before the SDSU-USD cancellation. Now SDSU would be 4-2 with a loss to NDSU and I think it would be very hard to put a 4-2 SDSU team that UND beat ahead of a 5-1 UND team (assuming UND beats Youngstown).

I was in standing room only for that game and it's one of the most memorable hockey games I've ever attended.

Agreed. Let's revisit after the season!

Ok let's reframe it: Who would you pick to win in a theoretical matchup between them (assume full health)? - My gut says 2016 but I think there's a lot of nostalgia talking there.

This is pretty similar to my thinking. Deeper group of forwards but nothing to match CBS line. I kinda threw my hands up when trying to compare the D corps though.

https://www.inforum.com/bison-media-zone/mens-sports/football/6940457-McFeely-blog-Why-a-Bison-win-against-UND-would-be-bad-for-FCS McFeely is incapable of stating that UND is the better team without qualifying it somehow. He has continually hammered the excuses related to losing players early, transfers, etc. Let's make sure we don't let that temper our celebrating after a win on Saturday.

How do you rank this year's team in comparison to the 2016 team?

So just found out my wife got me tickets with my brother for the Bison game as an early birthday present. It's either gonna be awesome or the absolute worst but I'm excited.

I saw this earlier in the week. Here's his write-up on his Alerus Center visit: https://fifthquarter.net/fifth-quarter/cfb-campus-tour/2021/02/25/cfb-campus-tour-fcs-week-1-recap-three-domes-in-three-days/ I found it interesting that he thought so highly of the Alerus, but it's nice to hear that from someone who has seen many stadiums.

I believe all of their games are streamed on ESPN+ which is $5.99 per month or $60 per year

It was a nervous LOL.

Have to get past giant-killer AIC first lol

Didn't realize that was an option. Clutch!

Make sure your streaming device has a clear view of the Southern sky

Thought this was interesting from that article given this discussion lol.

I guess what I mean is I don't know why it still needs to be played at every amateur and professional sporting event in the country.

I've wondered for years what the actual point of playing the anthem before sporting events is.

Got it. Hadn't seen the quote yet so wasn't sure of the context. Thanks.

Where exactly is there still voting going on?

This is basically where I'm at. The University has egg on their face for how they handled this, but the team can move forward and not have this hanging over them.

https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/hockey/6740945-Mitchell-Miller-no-longer-a-part-of-UND-hockey-team Per a letter from Armacost, Mitchell has been removed from the team.

Hopefully that goes better than this one.

Is there an actual plan to sunset this thread (and overtly political arguments in general) at some point?

Agree on the 2nd chances thing but makes it tough to want to cheer for him
