UND hosts 2015 Regional

[MafiaMan]

I was thinking the same thing. I we make a regional this year I would bet we will be with MN...never fails.

And that's another correct assumption, in my book. UND and Minnesota can now bank on being in the same regional year after year after year after year after year...

Because my post was thick with sarcasm...

You see, UND changed the nickname like the NCAA wanted...and is still getting the shaft. Now the company line is "well, you should have done it years ago and we wouldn't be in this situation and the NCAA would give us regionals and stuff." No, they wouldn't.

Ah that went over my head, but yes, I agree.

At least it's good for the rivalry!

Now that it appears Notre Dame gets to play on their home ice because no other Midwest team bid to host and UND/Scheels won their bid thanks to being the only non-home ice arena in the west to place a bid, it appears we may have shot ourselves in the foot by placing bids for both REA and Scheels.

Just saw this as well...I should be surprised but I am not.

Dear Santa,

For Christmas, I would like a competent athletic department, a decent football coach, a volleyball coach with a valid driver's license, competitive women's and men's basketball teams, and a hockey team that rebounds from a bad start to the season and wins the national championship.

Love,

MafiaMan

p.s. Can I get the Fighting Sioux nickname back too?

p.p.s. Cookies, warm milk, and a SiouxSports.com hat will be on the table for you on the 24th.

But, do you think the NCAA would've chosen UND's bid over the other applicants if all West Region bids were submitted with only on-campus arenas? If you believe the NCAA hates us you would have to believe they would've given the bid to someone else if we had only submitted REA.

Good point....they passed on UND's bid for the women!

those talking about und in the same regional as the gophers, keep in mind this year it could very well be a first round matchup.

That's true. Duluth would've gotten it for sure.

What I think is a load of crap is that schools are submitting home site bids in the first place. That's what happens when you give "preference" but there's no hard rule.

Optimism alert!!!! Get that crap out of here!

Is there anything false about his tweet? The Ralph and UND put in 2 bids for the regional tournaments. One was to be held at the Ralph. The other was a joint bid with Scheels Arena. Therefore Scheels couldn't outbid the Ralph if the Ralph was part of the bid.

Hammer's tweet was the first time I heard anyone say anything about Fargo outbidding the Ralph. Sounds like he hangs out with too many of the "uneducated" himself.

He probably has a lot of Fargo followers, and that sounds like something they would say. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a bunch of BSvillers claiming that Fargo and Scheels outbid the Ralph.
