bigskyvikes Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 why can I put on the green shades for once? btw u must not be a und fan as I call the shots in the football forum named the HC and DC days before they were announced. And then said your source said they screwed up and didn't hire the right coach, then after they hired the coach you said they were and then said they weren't. You said it all happened because of your reverse psychology... OMG get lost! The only shots you call are at the bar...good place for you! Quote

Hate to out my sources, but your liver told me you're an expert at calling shots. Quote
scpa0305 Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Find me a college or pro athlete in any sport that doesn't mail it in on occasion. The 10-6 Eagles got their butts handed to them by a hapless Vikings team. The Miami Heat opened their season with a loss to a team tanking it to try to win next summer's draft lottery (76ers). The Islanders defeated the mighty Blackhawks a day ago. Baylor was expected to smoke Central Florida in the Fiesta Bowl...but the Knights put up 50+ on the Big 12 champions. The series at Western Michigan and the next two series will tell you a lot more about this Sioux team than an exhibition game played in scenic British Columbia will. In every scenario you mentioned it was one team against another from the same league. To correct you example it would be mich vs appalation state....and that mich team was a mess. Quote
siouxforeverbaby Posted January 4, 2014 Author Posted January 4, 2014 This mornings Pairwise on Sioux Sports has them at 19. collegehockeynews.com has us at 15 this afternoon. USCHO's pwr does not appear to be up yet. Quote
MafiaMan Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 In every scenario you mentioned it was one team against another from the same league. To correct you example it would be mich vs appalation state....and that mich team was a mess. It's Appalachian State and that's a great analogy. So before that game, you predicted Michigan would wind up 'a mess' by season's end? How about NDSU vs Kansas State? Georgia Southern vs Florida? Eastern Washington vs Oregon State? Quote
Shawn-O Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Yep, this game has no affect on this season. They'll move forward and this doesn't even affect the PWR either. Why even waste the time and money on this trip? I don't get it. Quote
gfhockey Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Hak will get the boys ready to play tonite! All hail hakstol! While ndsu playing for a nother natty we are playing jv canadians who are playing toe to toe with us Go hak! Quote

Stand up and insist you want another championship. Quote
Goon Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Why even waste the time and money on this trip? I don't get it. There's people that wanted to see the team play, family members from BC that want to see their kids play. Quote

Rory Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 There's people that wanted to see the team play, family members from BC that want to see their kids play. Pretty expensive road trip for a few family members. Rather see them play games that count. Quote
gfhockey Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Whats wrong wuth competing for middle of the pack and home ice in nchapc playoffs? Thats what we und fans are satisfied with! Quote
Old Fella Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 They're sitting at 15 at CHN.COM Needed to take a nap. Sincerely hope you are correct/been season ticket holder since the Old Ralph was built. In past years pairwise on Sioux Sports .Com has mirrored USCO which in turn has used same criteria as the NCAA selection committee. Krack has them at 14. Quote
siouxforeverbaby Posted January 4, 2014 Author Posted January 4, 2014 Pretty expensive road trip for a few family members. Rather see them play games that count. why did Kansas come play UND in 2001? Because Roy Williams had told his players that he would make sure that they would get to play as close to their home as possible at some point in their career. He could have chosen the Gophers or someone else..but he didn't. Recruiting, letting players get a chance to play in front of more family members than may be able to come to GF, alumni who might live in that area who might not get to see them play...those are all reasons that they could have had for planning this trip. Also, if I am remembering right...you can only play so many games that count a season..UND was at that amount and wanted some more games to help "get the rust" off...so they scheduled some exhibition games. Yes, they could have been in GF...but they chose to make an experience for the team and the fans out of it. Quote
OETKB Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 If this trip was supposed to expose how well NCAA college hockey can play and give us an example to point to for recruiting purposes, then last night's loss was a big time #)(%*& up. Add the fact that UND is now 0-5 all-time against that team, and you can pretty much call this trip a disaster, regardless of how they do against SF tonight. Quote
southpaw Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Pretty expensive road trip for a few family members. Rather see them play games that count. The team can't play any more games that count. The schedule is maxed out this year. Quote

I believe that Simon Fraser is determining whether it goes DI in hockey and the NCHC is scouting them out. This is kinda like a dry run. Rumors have been floated by Bowling Green that a bus league CCHA will be reforumulated with BGSU, Ferris, W Mich, Miami, Robert Morris, Mercyhurst, Niagara, Canisius, and maybe Syracuse. The NCHC needs more than six teams and CBS will call the shot on whom they would add: a school like SFU could get on Canadian Cable and then add another western school (or three), like E Wash, Utah, or the Arizonas, or maybe even Washington or USC. http://thehockeywrit...und-the-corner/ Schlossman's twitter is kind of tongue in cheek about the weather, but there is possible substance to it. FollowSchlossman@SchlossmanGF I think we can all get behind the idea of UBC or Simon Fraser to the NCHC. pic.twitter.com/Z1fGH234UH Quote
brianvf Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 I just can't believe that they would entertain that idea at all. Most of the Canadian school rosters like UBC and SF are former MJ players. There's no way that the NCAA would allow that to continue if they were added to the NCHC. Those schools would have to completely change their recruiting. Quote

UBC can't go because they chose CIS over NCAA. A transition would take years for UBC and cause a political firestorm. SF is an NCAA DII school with the immediate potential to go DI in hockey only but they would have to drop former major junior players if they go varsity. Recruiting would be easy for Simon Fraser, even without MJ players. Quote

AZSIOUX Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 I don't mind change at all but having to start plugging in those type of schools is a very bad sign for the NCHC and unds future. Don't like at all. Can UND just get into the big 10 if it's going to be a Wild West out there for conference movement? Is that even possible? Quote
