North Dakota doesn't even have rumors of expansions possibilities. If women's hockey doesn't matter, why do you have a women's hockey team? MN and ND have the same number of championships in MLB, NBA, NFL, and the NHL in the last quarter century. But you guys are phenomenal at hanging those participation banners and "improving". But MN fleeced the tax payers for a billion dollar stadium so you can HOST a Super Bowl... yippee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, I cheer for most Minnesota professional sports teams ( a lot of UND alums either played or run the teams) but lets not kid ourselves here; there is no pro sports team in Minnesota that is close to winning a championship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnt Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 56 minutes ago, JohnboyND7 said: I don't like defending UND(that's why I don't do it), but what is the point in bringing up professional sports? I don't see what correlation the Twins or Vikings have with UM-TC or the lack of professional sports teams have to do with the success of UND. ... and I don't like agreeing with Johnboy, but I will in this case. Sportswise, Minnesota isn't exactly a pillar in the Big Ten. When you can point that UND is better than Minnesota in hockey, NDSU is better than Minnesota in football, and both UND and NDSU are better than Minnesota in basketball this year, then it hardly holds up an air of superiority. If that was a one year circumstance it's one thing, but that has been the case frequently lately. Tim Hennessy and Scott Swygman who are both from Minneapolis can't believe that Minnesota can be so consistently bad when they are in the market they are in, and I agree. You would think you would hit a great recruiting class that develops here or there and have a magic season, but it doesn't seem to happen. Hockey is the only sport that really is consistently good, and that has taken a short term hit the past few years. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snova4 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 1 hour ago, Gopher Fan said: Point taken, although the NFL championship was less than 50 years ago (the Vikings are one of 2 teams to win the NFL championship the same season they lost the Super Bowl before the NFL-AFL merger), but is Minnesota or North Dakota more likely to win a future World Series, Super Bowl, Stanley Cup, or NBA Title, or MLS Cup? Based on the last 25 years, I'd say our chances are about even. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well a UND alum runs one of the teams and one of the most successful TE/FB in Vikings history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
