  1. $500???? Big whoop

    how about we start capping property taxes for 5 years and make these local governments spend our money wisely!

    $500 would barely cover the increase in property taxes every year. This out of control increases needs to end!

    Every goal the U-18's scored in regulation was off a d zone mishap.

    Goal #3 and #4 can't happen if you're Hedquist.  He looks about half a foot off his angle on the OT game winner.  Maybe anticipating a pass across the zone, but Hutson had half the net to shoot at.

    Lets hope we find a scoring touch against a team living in a hotel for an entire week.    

     

    Wait I was told by the hockey experts that we are a top defensive team in the country and that their defensive play was nothing to be concerned about……

    It was an exhibition game with UND missing four of their top players. The loss didn't affect anything in the Pairwise Rankings. Based on what I read here, you'd think UND had lost in the first round of the NCHC playoffs. 

    No one said the season is over but we sure have the right to be concerned we are not trending in the right direction. Some of us would like to avoid an early round exit

    True and truthfully it’s good exposure for Minot St. I know they are saying they aren’t looking to go D1 but you gotta believe it’s on the back burner 

    Minot would go D1 if any big Minot donor steps up to fund it. No one in Minot apparently cares enough to pony up the $$$$$. Just like UNDFootball Fan…. All talk ….. no $$$$$

    Drop athletics altogether? :huh:

    Since every other NAIA conference is a freaking "church league", I don't know what options they have left.

    Drop the whole university while they are at it

    change the outdated state constitution!

    Add Jonathan Toews. Michael Jordan was famously shown wearing his jersey. I doubt any athletes from other sports have ever worn a Carson Wentz jersey or any of the other practice squad players from NDSU. Hockey is also much bigger internationally than football, so hockey players are known not only in Canada and the US, but Russia, Sweden, and other European countries. 

    Are you really trying to argue whether football or hockey is more popular???? Internationally??? Who cares outside of the US or even Canada. NHL hockey even finishes 4th behind baseball and the NBA……. Woof

    Wentz may be a bust but everyone who follows football knows who he is. I give it to you that most sport fans couldn’t name where TJ oshie, Toews, or wentz even went to school.

    You always start with the false narrative that "football is more popular than hockey". FBS football in the P5 conferences ONLY may be more popular than hockey, but FCS football is not anywhere close to being more popular than D1 hockey. UND is in the black in one sport and that is hockey. UND makes more from hockey than NDSU makes from football, and NDSU has dominated FCS football for over a decade. Keep telling yourself otherwise. 

    Let me guess you are a hockey only fan. Only thing as bad as a hockey only fan is a Bison fan. Neither is good for UND.

    NDSU literally subsidizes their entire athletic department and teammakers with their football program. UND hockey doesn’t come close otherwise UND wouldn’t have as much institutional support. 
     

    NDSU has dominated all of college football with their FBS wins and high draft picks. Only hockey fans know of any UND players in the NHL. The entire football world knows who Carson wentz is.

    Football is more popular than hockey. FCS football is definitely similar in popularity to the entirety of collegiate hockey. Period. FCS football is still football. Doesn’t matter if pee wee, high school, college or pros. It is what it is. Profits are going to be hard to come by with collegiate athletics anywhere in North Dakota - not enough people. Hard to argue with delusionists. Can spin it anyway you want to fit your narrative. I’ll stick with the realists.

    For once I can agree with your post. College hockey has fallen in popularity in the region with the loss of the Sioux logo, rise of the Bison football, fall of Sioux football and the poor Sioux hockey teams. UND fans can be fine with the backseat but I will never be

    FCS football is definitely close isn’t it? Maybe I’m wrong?

    College hockey doesn’t consistently fill stadiums with over 15k fans. The whole FCS vs college hockey argument is dumb. You want to see whats more popular just walk into a Scheels in ND and see what school’s apparel is overwhelmingly dominant……. Not UND

    Let's circle back to this. I also was very skeptical of the numbers that were being tossed around. Originally, multiple players were reported to have 6 figure NIL deals. McFeeley reported 250K that one had, Izzo said 1/2 million this week on his show. Those numbers were clearly not accurate. Are we thinking they were reported 2X, 3X, 10X the actual number? I also don't believe as many players that were reported had them. Kudos to the Coaching staff / players. I'm sure the collective is still pretty modest, but boy did they get the ball moving by completely exaggerating what was happening. 

    Starting to question the offers they supposedly got, I couldn’t imagine my kid turning down 6 figure offers when the NFL is not guaranteed

    Wonder why we didn’t hit the portal harder

    Most teams don’t hit the portal recruiting hard until after high school signing day so not sure why you leave this comment. Even Polasek has said this…..

    Stick looks terrible. That NDSU offense still translate to the nfl or what?

    Fargo media says he did a good job, might get another job next year after that performance

    Not strange at all. He found out through multiple conversations that he needed some FBS on his resume. Going to USC isnt a demotion. It will be a career builder. Hes a much better D coach than he is a HC.

    And Roehl is a better OC than head coach??? Or is that why they all want him to be head coach now instead
