    I think the Mets are in over reaction mode and would trade for Correa.  That allows the Twins to have Farmer play short until Brooks is ready, and gets rid of a lot of money.  Plus the Mets may throw Parada, Ramirez, or a Mauricio in the deal to sweeten it.

    Well, the Mets wouldn't be the only ones in over reaction mode...

    Is there any chance the people who constantly take the negative angle towards UND aren’t really UND fans. Maybe they are actually fans of another school. 

    It's definitely possible. I think it's more likely that they live extremely sad and pathetic lives so they come on here to try to get others to feel the same way they do.

    So you think coaches routinely make lateral moves for less money? I maintain it is a rare exception and not the rule. If this is an exception, so be it. But our salaries are still too low to retain quality coaches.

    It's not nearly as rare as you think. This might come as a shock but coaches make decisions all the time based on stuff other than just money. But please don't let any of that get in the way of you always assuming the worst.

    What percentage of coaches ever take a lower-ranked job at a school at the same level (FCS in this case) for less money? I would guess the percentage is pretty miniscule. This could be one of those exceptional cases, I'll grant you, but I am skeptical of that.

    We have lost MBB coaches to lateral moves within our own conference and those coaches made more money in their new jobs. I am guessing this is another example of that. But even if I am wrong in this case, low coaches salaries are still a big problem at UND.

    Just wanted to be sure to highlight the relevant part of your post. Thanks for the updates.

    I'd have to rewatch that incident to see if your recollection is closer to what actually transpired or if petey is closer.

    That said, if most of the posters on here are biased to the boys in green, usually your bias (when it comes to officiating) is biased to the opposing team.
    I don't think the refs are "out to get Kleven" by any stretch, but I've certainly seen many instances where he takes some punishment with nothing called and then he gets called for something very similar shortly after.  He's a big boy and is very strong on his skates.  Was it this year or last year when the refs reviewed for a major when an opposing player ran into the back of Kleven and they called Kleven for a penalty?  It was checking from behind...from behind.  That was comical to say the least.

    Then you completely agree with my entire point in this conversation.

    I mean, look at the tape.  

    I did look at it. Was there a missed boarding on Kleven? Yes. Was there a single slash from Polin on Kleven after? No. Did he receive a cross check from Polin? No. Did Kleven's crosscheck start at Polin's shoulder and move to his head? Nope, it was straight to the face. If you think what he posted tells the story of that incident, then yikes.

    Western Michigan at the Ralph. Ref jumps out of way of puck that Tyler is chasing down and turns his head away from the play. WMU lays a text book 5 minute checking from behind hit on Kleven and puck squirts toward corner and Kleven gets up(rather than lay on ice) and the puck comes back towards him and he gets up and starts moving puck behind the net and receives 3 successive slashes and gives WMU player a cross check and gets one in return and then gives WMU player another cross check and hits him in shoulder and the hit continues and makes head contact. Is that a penalty on Kleven? Sure, contact to head. Does the play happen if the referee doesn't give the WMU player carte blanche to commit 21 minutes worth and 4  blatant penalties on Kleven since he is the larger, stronger player? Tyler gets a 5 and 10 and WMU player receives nothing for a dangerous hit and then 3 slashes to instigate the entire situation. Kleven was on receiving end of far more uncalled penalties than he committed this season.

    There's being biased, and then there's whatever this is.

    Commodore-UND  106 games 382 PIM...484 NHL games...23 million in career earnings

    Greene-UND 120 games 337 PIM....615 NHL games...25 million in career earnings

    We also took Greene and Commodore for what they were. Big, punishing defensemen who would find themselves in the box frequently. Do we think the league was out to get them as well?
