This would be epic! But I'll just expect a good game, and be happy. Then look forward to a meeting in the playoffs before another game at Fargo.

Awww...c'mon, those light jabs are fun to read! No harm there.

There has been a great job done in getting recruits to come here in the last couple years. I would put money down that the winning will start to happen this year. Say it does, and it continues getting better next year, and we get some more highly prized recruits to come here. Then does the argument become; we don't need upgrades, we are doing fine without. Because you will eventually lose recruits and players. If it hasn't been addressed yet, I am worried of staying status quo. I hope I am right with the winning part, and wrong on no upgrades needed end. Recruits like to see flashy new things. You can only sell "building something" for so long.

I am a fan! Glad to see something finally!

one other thing...Will he explain? I would be shocked if he does. I think some reporter should hit him with this. Then lead into other areas the money could be used

After visiting other threads that are receiving heavy traffic, something glaring arises. If Faison can find more money to payHak (presuming there was a biddng war, which seems likely), when is he going to explain himself? (How can the money be used elsewhere, and when is he going to give other programs the attention they need? I just want him to do more than promote hockey) Then when is some of that extra money going to get diverted to help other programs? Not just MBB!

You are under the assumption BF is aware that the other programs on campus matter. Or cares about them as much as hockey.

Three finalists? Nodaks Flickertails North Stars I threw North Stars in there as I think you could do some fun stuff with design. I don't want flickertails either, and certainly nothing related to weather. Just looking at what has number of votes, and what might be something easily accepted. Other people's guesses and reasoning? Maybe we can have some indirect influence on process.

"Bombs away!" No way it makes it. I like it, and would have no problem with it. Even with it meeting most criteria, there is no chance it makes it out of committee. (most know multiple reasons why, unfortunately)

Fortunately we don't have to worry about becoming like Nike U. (But I agree with you) I would love to see UND in an all black scheme with green highlights! I think that would look great!

As much as we "traditionalists", and/or "old people" like clean, regular jerseys, there will be something in the works to catch the recruits eyes. I hope Bubba is able to have full control of this, but I would guess Adidas will have a say in it. As long as its decent looking, we are going to have to accept some sort of new design style as one of the sets. Hopefully thats a year or two away yet though.

I'm wondering if anyone has images of new uniforms. Or just helmets and jerseys. Is it a done deal? Haven't seen anything on Adidas end.

Cows to tip... More? This has been a great diversion from the norm. Please continue...

Spit my coffee out a bit this morning when I saw this. THANK YOU!

If they played at least their year, as scholarships are renewed every year, and schools can drop the players scholarship, then they should be free to move if things aren't what they thought. If they transfer, then yes they should sit a year in those FBS>FBS transfers, but don't lose year of eligibility. But in cases of FBS>FCS or graduate and transfer to another school, their definitely should be no restrictions. And this is where the NCAA fails the "student-athlete" again.

I see your point as well. I don't think filling the Ralph would be that difficult if they packaged tickets for families and really promoted it, but I haven't seen anything from the AD that make me believe they could do anything like that. So, I will stop hoping, and side with you, let's pack the Betty. Make it a great atmosphere for the new, and hopefully much improved team, and enjoy the games.

So is UNI big enough to get a game at the Ralph? I still think you should put NDSU there. Maybe double with WBB.

So throwing money at a sound system to try and appease fans, or show that they are doing something to the place? Though, we all know there are bigger needs, not just the board. But for arguments sake... Hell, if you don't have the cash, find a sponsor (or two) and lease the video board! It helps the most in fan experience, and helping recruit. And, you can sell more advertising and make money with it! I am still wondering what the Athletics Department and Marketing division are doing? I know its a big price, $250k +, but if you are trying to play with the big boys, this is something that should have been on the radar, and someone should have figured out how to make it happen.

No, they'll be on the court

Wheeler won't be eligible. I've said in the 2015-16 thread I believe they should be contending for one of top three spots in conference and make a run in the conference tournament. As in semis, or better yet finals. I think Hooker, Crandall, and Seales could create so many matchup problems. I think the bigs will be much better as well. Considering the talent on the bench, that is an upgrade, that is vastly improved as well. I know they will be very young, but extremely talented! Paired with the winning that these guys are used to, it is expected that the work ethic they needed to be successful in their youth will transfer over to the college level. (It is rare that kids just stop working hard to achieve their goals) That being said, I think a few of these kids have lofty goals. So the question is...Does the Coach allow the guards to control the game, or make the game go through the bigs? Obviously, some mix of both is best. But, the game has become guard oriented, and you can't always force the issue with the bigs. Lets hope the guys time overseas pays off!

Wheeler has committed to UND. Check his twitter. WaldoEsque. @WheeWhee25
