Pretty big deal to pick up some better radio coverage across the entire state. Plus we will get some dedicated UND shows and coverage on 1440. This is what the athletic program has been missing as we have always needed something similar to 1660. Can’t wait to be able to tune in!

I don’t we are that bad as a team but we need to prove we can top team again before we get ranked higher. bulletin board material. honestly our all MVFC picks in the second round is a slap too. We have some top talent in the league so we will have to show it this year.

So you are saying only one side of the fan base cares about the NDSU/SDSU rivalry? Where have I heard that argument before? Or arguably neither side cares with that many tickets still available? heck UND has had quite the entertaining games the past couple years, hopefully that continues this fall #stillnotourrival

No just the general vibe I get from the program the last couple years. Are we still the best program in college hockey or have others passed us?

So are we no longer an elite program? seriously?

Wait a second how come pretty much all of the tickets are sold for the UND game except for singles, but the SDSU game who is now their rival still have a ton of tickets left to sell. Can someone explain to me who is the true rival? Calling on simple Dan!

Wouldn’t be surprised if we are 4-1 . We seriously can’t be any worse than last year so my expectations are high. Offense should be better than last year so that should be a big boost. We have some good talent on the roster so I have a much higher regard than the FCS media.

Yeah let them think we won’t be good. Honestly it doesn’t take much in the FCS to be a top 25 team, what is there 3 serious conferences? our team last year performed much better than our record. Time to make up for it this year!

Ralph was also pretty adamant about the traditions and cultures too like hmmmm lemme think…….. the sioux logo!!!! how did that work out for him? he also probably wouldnt be too pleased with how the student section is policed and force to sit down! enough traditions have been changed at UND that why not fix this issue by putting the students in the corner! The students would rather stand and be rowdy than being able to chip the penalty box. This change might actually bring back excitement to the Ralph!

Yeah and they definitely do not want to play any music that gets the student section up to dance. We all know those student need to keep their butt glued to their seats or else! Not letting the students stand is the biggest buzz kill the Ralph could have done to the atmosphere of just not the student section but to the entire Ralph.

Not bothering college kids that show up buzzed to a hockey game is hardly promoting underage drinking. Obviously sneaking in alcohol or trying to drink under age at the venue is not what we are talking about. when I was in college and would have had a good chance to be harassed by the police for being drunk before I show up to a hockey game, I probably would have still went sober but I can tell you most of my friends wouldn’t even think of attending. We

Only so many spots at other schools, when you recruit the top talent you can be picky.

The NDSU board sure is getting jealous of our recruits. I don’t know why because many of them have been on visits/camps at Ag U and they chose not to offer these guys. Must be good enough to be on the radar of the top team in the FCS…… seriously have no idea why we live in their heads if we don’t count as a rival anymore……. Any of these guys so far have a shot at playing this fall?

People can actually afford the housing payments they signed up for this time so the market is not likely to crash the same way. If people lose their good paying jobs anything is possible.

I really don’t see any big 12 teams jumping to the pac-12 except for maybe BYU. BYU and Boise had dreams of being in the PAC12 but I don’t think they want Boise and BYU already got into the big 12. Colorado St, Air Force or even SDSU may get a PAC 12 invite if they see the need to add teams

This is going to not work out well for the everyday college football fan. Ones the tradition, history and in state rivalries go away so will the fans. Bad move that will cost these universities in the long run….

Heck even Oregon State and Washington State may be on the outside looking into the BiG12 absorbing only Arizona, ASU, Utah, and Colorado. Washington and Oregon might go either way. Nobody wants WSU or OSU so they might get pushed to the MWC if they are unlucky

If they feel the need to pull from the MWC, the teams will have to be on the same level as the average PAC 12/ Big 12 school. They do not have to add any G5 team if the PAC merge with the Big 12

Funny how politics doesn’t get mentioned in all of these moves. State’s are getting their schools split up right down the middle. How long until governments start to act and try and prevent these breakups or even try and get a piece of the pie $$$$$$$. What a sad time for college athletics…….

Does the Big 12 and PAC 12 merge? Does SDSU and Boise finally get their wish and get a PAC12 invite? This move may spur the Big12 and PAC12 into action

I would assume that USC and UCLA are the biggest TV draws in the PAC12? Which other schools even come close?

Meh

Do these guys have more pressure on them to lock up offers because of less spots due to transfers or less overall opportunities across the board? If they don’t get offers to their top schools are they committing to lock up those spots? These guys seem to want to be at UND because not long after getting the offer they are committing. Not waiting for other offers but jumping at the opportunity to be at UND. I rather them commit early before they get more D1 offers!

That says something about this kids talent. I assume the injury scared some teams away.

Already packing the pounds! I like these big freshmen!
