Seriously St. Cloud is devolving bad.

The best way to describe it is that is competing in the Miss Wanna Be Little South Side Chicago pagent... 

can’t be as bad as the area around the U of Minn campus. We stayed at a hotel by campus and the desk clerk sat behind bullet proof glass.

St. Cloud is a college town as with most there are pros and cons, some like to exaggerate the cons, others enjoy the pros. SCSU is in a downward spiral as far as students and funding. In the last two decades interest in the hockey program has waned, despite them having successful seasons most years. They've made some clunker decisions that have alienated them in the community (eliminating Homecoming - which they brought back after a few years), eliminating football, student issues in off campus housing. Also it's tough to compete against St. John's which seems to have a protective dome over them when it comes to their issues.

Our timing for this 4 game road stretch might be pretty good as St Cloud and Western might be due for clunkers. We’ve had enough clunkers for a whole season so we should be good in that dept.

Don't know if that is a recipe for success, hoping the other teams are due for some clunkers.  How about we just up our game and start beating teams by playing better ourselves. After all, we were picked ahead of them at the beginning of the season, so our talent level should be sufficient if we start putting it together.

It's been almost twenty years since SCSU was eviscerated on Penn and Teller's Bullsh*t!.  The episode deals with the infamous letter to guidance counselors in the cities stating that the school is a hostile environment for minorities. 

How low is their enrollment this year? That article in the strib a year ago made it sound like the school was locked in a death spiral.

I know our talent level should be able to beat both St Cloud and Western.

SCSU and NDSU have a few similarities.
 

Does anyone have UND's numbers?  Would guess the trend to online learning has something to do with lower numbers on campus, or do those numbers include that.

You quit too soon: NDSU is at its lowest fall enrollment since 2005.

But I'm not sure how any of that gets us any W's at the Sterns County Uses of Concrete Exposition Facility this weekend.

Sorry for thread drift.

Anyone listen to Bub's presser yesterday? (I was away.) 

Injury status updates? 

Will everyone be available to travel? Will some have to stay home for ... reasons? @MafiaMan, @Blackheart, @Oxbow6, thoughts? 

 

Stearns County where the motto is ... We Do Cows.
And for sake of diversity, seems they've expanded to "we do pets" now too. :blink:

C’mon Sic, it’s Stearns county.  And the motto is “We do cousins”.
