petey23 Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Girls Fastpitch is a sport that is booming in this area and all across America. I would guess that girls who play have aspirations of playing Division 1 and in North Dakota we have 2 Division 1 programs. Of the 38 girls on the UND and NDSU rosters last season there was 1.....yep, 1 girl from ND made her way onto the NDSU roster, 0 at UND. Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Much like Schafer will be forever blamed for the cutting of Music Therapy (Of course no one wants to put the true blame where it lies, the Dean of Arts and Sciences), Kennedy will be forever blamed for the cutting of Women's Hockey and certain fans/alumi will never forgive him, no matter what he does for the University. 2 Quote

You mean all of those fans that consistently forgot to show up for games? I'm not picking on you as I want to shed some light on the convenient backlash that followed this smart business move. This program was a money pit that had very little support. Then it gets cut and all of a sudden all of these "fans" are offended. How convenient. 2 Quote
homer Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 The second complaint I have heard of the program not being around this year and it came from New York. Most people around here don’t even notice they aren’t playing this season. 3 Quote
UNDColorado Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 When the University of North Dakota announced last March that it was dropping women’s hockey for budgetary reasons, the move stunned this sprawling state on the northern Great Plains where the sport is a powerful unifying force. What? Anyone who was stunned had no idea what they are talking about. Once again the NY Times proves to be sensationalized garbage. 3 Quote
SiouxVolley Posted January 10, 2018 Author Posted January 10, 2018 UND women's hockey was such a shock for women's rights, second only to Crooked Hillary losing. Oh the humanity of it all! 1 Quote

I swear Facebook has more UND women's hockey fans then those that attended. I guess they forgot if they don't attend the games, the school doesn't make any money. #FacebookWarrior 1 Quote

UNDBIZ Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 200 people commenting on Facebook can seem like a lot. 200 people at a hockey game and you hear crickets. They're likely the same 200 people. Quote

Literally no one cares with exception of a few that try to be vocal. Quote

cberkas Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 So how many girls from North Dakota played for UND? Quote

AJS Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Knowing fully well that very few truly cared about the Women's hockey team and so much of the noise right after was fake outrage, it really didn't have legs to become anything more than the flavor of the week protest. That being said, I'm still surprised how quiet it's been since the Title IX lawsuit failed. I mean, outside of Schlossman making sure everyone stays up on old players, I've heard nothing from anywhere about the program. Quote

No way in hell she would of played for Idalski anyways. Not a fan of him myself. He came across as an arrogant ass. Quote
90siouxfan Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 I thought they just played all the games on Facebook and Tweeter? So sick of these Twins, wish they had stayed at UM. Quote
Sioux>Bison Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 The twins are a bunch of traitors in my mind for playing for the gophers. I don't care if they changed their minds. I have lost all respect for them. I couldn't name anyone who misses women's hockey or even knew it existed. 1 Quote
