No mention of the Wentz kid, but there were stories about North Dakota advancing to the Frozen Four. Perhaps Fargo is treated to a special national-level sports network to highlight their daily sports accomplishments? ESPN-F? They are that significant and deserving. I didn't say on Sportscenter. I bet if you watched ESPN from 8 AM to 11 PM, Wentz will be mentioned on some show. It may be on The Sports Reporters, maybe on NFL Live, but somewhere. I bet UND hockey won't be mentioned tomorrow, or the next day, or the next...

You will hear Carson Wentz and North Dakota State talked about on ESPN and the NFL Network, among others, every day from now until the draft. Actually from the combine until the draft. Like it or not, this is the biggest nationally covered sports story in recent history. The only other one that would be close is Maris's 61 in 61. That Maris story was one of the biggest in the history of all sports, not just ND sports. It's in a different league. Stop saying they're similar. The story on Carson and the hype is incredible but it is not the same, not even close. 61 was the most storied record in sports and it broke a mark set by the most mythical athlete in history. 4

Most of us weren't around to see the hype in 61. The Wentz story may be the biggest in the last 50 years. 1

Is the Carson Wentz museum going to be across from the Roger Maris museum in West Acres? I didn't know we have a Brett Favre, Dan Marino, Tom Brady, and John Elway all in one. 4

Wentz getting drafted or UND winning a D1 National Hockey Championship? I will say it would be neat if the state of North Dakota had 2 national championships this year in college sports. NDSU would have a D1AA football championship and UND could have a full fledged D1 National Hockey Championship. Let's hope it happens in Tampa. Nice win today over the University of Michigan. Wentz never laced up a pair of cleats for UND so if he gets drafted, who cares. Nice kid and good athlete but I would prefer FIghting Hawks to win Big Sky and UND hockey getting to Frozen Four. 6
Longtime fan Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 I'm beginning to think that Siouxsports and their message should consolidate. They are obviously coming here to get validation and we should oblige and give it to them in heavy doses and see if that whisks them back their home base. Once they get their validation an get bored I see them trickling off to the next message board. So here it is moo moo u, YOU GUYS ARE THE GREATEST!!!! And it's not even close!! I think I will have that comment following any moo talk from now on 1

homer Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 I'm confused, I didn't hear them talk about Jesus or Wentz on the ESPN network today.

Mama Sue Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 I read somewhere he has trouble farting in cold weather. I would think a ND kids would have no trouble farting in cold weather. I hope it doesn't hurt his draft stock to much Basically, I would say that weather does not anatomically affect one's ability to fart but then I have never been in an NFL locker room

I never once implied that Wentz was comparable to Christ and feel it is in horrible taste to have me listed as the starter of this thread with the comparison of Carson Wentz to Christ. I am therefore demanding my name be removed as the starter of these moved posts and really, the comparison to Jesus is in bad taste, especially on Easter. 1

ND WINS!!!! Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 It's true - I was in Arizona this Weekend and ran into numerous people talking FB and draft and very few even talking about Hockey = the Phoenix paper never showed ANY of the Hockey scores and it's to go to the Frozen Four??
Rory Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 An NDSU QB gets his own thread on a UND message board. Now that's impressive. The kid will tear it up in the NFL.

Well I was in ND this weekend and saw MANY Fighting Sioux Hockey jerseys....also when I watched the game on TV. I would say the Fighting Sioux out numbered North Dakota 2:1. Hockey is not in the DNA of people in AZ like it is up here. Go Sioux! Can't wait for football to start either. Since I will be retired by the start of the 2016 season, I will not have to clean and do laundry on Saturdays!!!
