I find him quite enjoyable when he's ripping on the ncaa, notre dame, and espn.

....and UND,the AD,the fans,the players,every coach ever,anyone who makes less money than him(which in his mind is everyone),and anything anyone ever brings up. Oh wait, that last one is Smokey.

I'd look at who is the Chairman of the NCAA Division I men’s ice hockey committee. That happens to be Tom Nevala, Notre Dame associate athletic director. I'm sure he pushed for Notre Dame hosting a regional and he didn't want to be shown up by North Dakota when more people show up to the Ralph.

Faison is on the committee also.

he has a right to be pissed here. it's such a trash decision to let Notre Dame host at home, and to give the women's frozen four to Ridder twice. Flame away as far I'm concerned. I would be interested in an e-mail too.

Scheels arena really is a good venue for a regional. Close to lots of teams in Minnesota so if god forbid UND doesn't make it it will still have a good showing.

Absolutely. A full arena looks good on TV. Some of the past regional locations cough Green Bay cough had terrible attendance.

Am I missing something here? UND can't host at the Ralph because they don't allow campus sites, correct? It's not because of the nickname issue. Where is Notre Dame's arena located? Is it on campus?

Yes, the Compton Ice Arena is on Notre Dames campus.

have you ever conducted a search for a new D1 football HC?

have you ever conducted a negotiation for a new TV contract?

I'm willing to bet my whole 401k that you have done either. So my suggestion would be to stop spreading your stupid "inside" information and just wait.

Easy...None of us have but that doesn't mean Faison has been a rock star since he has been at UND...far from it.

I'm stumbling distance from the Scheels Arena so I'm happy for the host site in Fargo. But.....it would be better atmosphere-wise to have it in the Ralph...duh. I'm sure it has been brought up already but when do tickets get released for this?

So it will take about 10 mins to sell out this regional. If that happens UND can go to the NCAA and say look at the money we made and we can make more if its at the REA. Then the NCAA makes an excuse and its moved.

I wouldn't say he has been a rock star either but I think he is trying his hardest to position UND athletics to be one of the top dogs. I would rather see him take is time and get the RIGHT coach, rather than get the wrong coach and start from scratch again.

UUnd atheletic department is in shambles rite now...

We need a deicison maker in office with influence!

Yep, what a train wreck. Got UND into the Big Sky and through transition. Helped create a new hockey conference to keep the hockey program from being pulled down by teams with less resources. Negotiated a TV deal for UND that actually pays them money instead of costing them money. Found a home for the baseball team.
