jimdahl Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Get back on topic. This is a football thread. This is a non-UND thread.What he said. Please stop talking UND/hockey in this thread. There's a separate forum for that. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnboyND7 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 You must have missed the facts about the number of teams playing DI hockey, and the names of some of the lesser schools competing for the NCAA Hockey championship. fcs has its share of bad schools too. I'd consider them both to be similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darell1976 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 So Bison fans tell us about Easton Stick, I heard he a duel threat QB. Does he run better than Wentz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prison_Mike Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Check out the attendance at the FCS championship game the last time NDSU wasn't in it and you'll see how much people care about d1-aa football. It's big in ND, SD, and MT, that's about it. Most other states have real DI football to follow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You google "Easton Stick" and Easton sticks come up lol. Talk about a perfect name for a hockey player!That's like being called Wilson Football.

App really hasn't been any good since NDSU started winning titles so I don't see where it would be epic. In terms of recent achievements though, yeah it would have been a cool deal though yeah.

Cratter Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) Hockey attendance really isn't anything to write home about either. Since he was talking championship game. Hockey Championship games, I believe, are always sold out (at least "recently" regardless whos playing)A few years ago they put the hockey championship game in a football field because its usually sold out. 37,000 people attended.Theres been outdoor college hockey games upward of 100,000 (they had to quit selling tickets), much larger than the largest FCS football game ever played.

The Big Chill at the Big House. 113,411 announced attendance between Michigan and Michigan State. END FCS and hockey statsEveryone likes to see the big dog fall. Expecially David vs Golliath which a USD victory over NDSU looked like. The two schools can poke some fun at each other and we would accept that. But when people come to a UND forum and drag UND down for no reason isn't necessary. We are aware of the issues that our program has had over the last decade+, we can be excited about improvements. I understand people being proud of their schools. But for a school that doesn't care about us NDSU sure likes to run try to trash this program. Typically a fanbase that doesn't care about a program shows it by not even giving them attention, and not worrying about what is going on with that program. We should be happy to have two schools in the last couple of years ranked as #1 in multiple sports. FCS--NDSU and Hockey-UND. The attention that one gets seem to get the other attention as ESPN can never get the logos right, and people always confuse the two.

I believe outdoor games are a fun novelty item. The SWAC schools have gotten into the upper 60's range for similar deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gundy1124 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I've heard from some people that they think NDSU could somehow do as good or possibly better with Stick. He's suppose to be a stud. Obviously he hasn't been playing so who knows what he'll do but I think NDSU will rebound from this embarrassing loss and get back on track.The proverbial NDSU mantra, back-up is better anyway. Wentz, while riding the pine was better than Jenson, Stick better than Wentz, high schooler to be named later better than Stick.........

The SB hasn't been to good to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
