It's UND's current offensive strategy. Since they can't score, Chirp 'em.

Is the B1G still doing some Friday/Sunday game scheduling in order to work it in for their TV broadcasts ?  That's enough for a no thanks from me.

Sometimes Thursday.

The BIG announcers are horrible.  If UND joined that dull league I don't think I could watch.  Even the free broadcasts on NCHC are better than their top guys.  I try to watch every now and then but the announcing and the play is horrible.

I’m going to say Ohio States attendance is grossly overstated.

Could be, I just searched for a sight that had the figures so I could get this out without going to each school and looking up box scores. I do think that the total average is pretty close though in that the B1G has been just under 2,000 average over those 7 NCHC schools that last few years.

On the web site above it shows the bottom 8 teams average attendance might of been less than our WH team had.

Box score attendance = tickets sold, not butts in seats during game = # of seats $ were collected from.

Interesting taught to this. If I buy 2 tickets and don't show, then best half and I watch on TV, am I double dipping for the home team? The U counts us as an attendance # and the network counts us as a viewer? The B1G is making $.

Quite a few empty seats = Only 10k in attendance...when most teams struggle to get 3k thru the door on a good night

That's my point.  Even when attendance is down(by UND's standards), the average attendance is still double schools like MN
