jodcon Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Without giving details what did GF Hockey to be suspended? As a relatively new poster to this forum I should know what's off limits. He's not suspended, Jim's got a breathalyzer hooked to his phone and he can only post if his BAC is below .15...haven't seen any posts so apparently he's been on a roll this week.

Hambone Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Looks like UND is a team that isn't getting much attention but should be, according to Craig Haley at The Sports Network. http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfoot2/writers/infcshuddle/archive/haley_03_23_2015.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win or lose, the game in Fargo will show what types of strides are being made by our team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win or lose, the game in Fargo will show what types of strides are being made by our team. Absolutely. I guess Mr. Haley doesn't understand the dynamics between UND/NDSU. I can see where he's coming from, as Idaho State does have a good offense, or at least they did last season. Nevertheless, to UND fans, the NDSU game is far more pivotal.

UND-1 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 The pivotal game is vs. Idaho State. That is a game that can be won but is vs. a Top 5 Big Sky team. The game vs. NDSU means very little in the grand scheme of the schedule as UND will be a huge underdog, about the same as the Wyoming game. Take emotion and passion out and its another non-conference game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfhockey Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I'd rather beat the Bison and go 1 and 10 Then going 9 and 2 and be one and out in playoffs That's how much I hate them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take emotion and passion out and its another non-conference game. Still is very important for confidence purposes that UND plays well versus NDSU. If UND doesn't show up and gets handled, the team won't hear the end of it all season. That will hurt confidence and negatively affect their performance going forward. Make no mistake about it, NDSU game is a big one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iramurphy Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 We need to move away from the mindset of comparing everything with the AC. Too many of you folks haven't noticed they no longer worry about us, they concern themselves about championships. Anyone who thinks beating the AC is the pivotal game is wrong. It's a rivalry game. Just like last years MBB. Anyone think that made our season? What was much more important was we made it to the conference championship game. Because we didn't win it the season was mediocre. Anyone think the Ag School folks think last year was anything other than a win in the NCAA tourney rather than a trouncing by the Sioux? A win against the AC is only good if you think it important to give their fans crap. It might shut some of them up but not many and not for long. The pivotal game is the game we are playing and until that is won the next game no matter who it is doesn't matter. Recruits will notice championships and playoffs. If we beat the AC and don't make playoffs it doesn't mean much. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 The pivotal game is the next game. "Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all the time thing. You don't win once in a while; you don't do things right once in a while; you do them right all of the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing." -- some guy named Lombardi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NDSU is presently the king of football and basketball in the region, and UND beating NDSU --particularly in football-- will go a long way in building confidence and putting together a championship-type season. UND football needs to gain some regional momentum and the NDSU game is one such opportunity. UND fans will move away from NDSU comparisons once UND shows the ability to win DI conference and national championships. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND fans will move away from NDSU comparisons once UND shows the ability to win DI conference and national championships. Not a theory. It's a culture change. Sicatoka has it right. Your philosophy is that we try and get to be competitive with the AC. But you have also crowned them king. My thought is that we have the mindset that what we do in the classroom, every set we do in the weight room, every sprint and drill in practice, every play in practice, every repetition is geared to maintain a culture and focus of nothing less than a maximum effort and success for what we are doing as a Sioux athlete. The goal is a national championship and the AC game will take care of itself. Right now they are the king of nothing except for those who revel in past glories. We make the future by what we do today. If you crown them king you may be beaten before you start. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geaux_sioux Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I compare us to NDSU because they are the best. In the early to mid 2000s I didn't compare us to NDSU I compared us to Grand Valley St, because they were the best. At that time we also had that culture of excellence.

If we beat the AC and don't make playoffs it doesn't mean much. The reason I believe it is a pivotal game is because NDSU is the current standard of what it takes to be a championship calibre program. They are what every other FCS program is aspiring to. Do I thinks this means we have to beat them next year? No. I want to see where we stack up against the best of FCS, which is currently NDSU. It also would be nice to get some respectability back from some of the in state football fans who think our program is a "joke" or beneath NDSU. A good showing against NDSU will go a long way in turning the program around a getting people in ND to see/believe in what Bubba is doing. The majority of football fans in ND wouldn't see the ISU game in the same light. In fact the majority of fans think ISU is a perennial doormat in FCS, and don't have a clue as to what their new coach is starting to build there.
