fightingsioux4life Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 2 hours ago, burd said: Exactly, Wilbur. We can be fans of the game and program without letting results make or ruin our day. Small stuff/big stuff. That doesn't mean you won't be available if they're in a pinch for a tendie, though, right? Nobody is saying it should ruin somebody's day or life. But I don't think pointing out that March was a disaster for this team is out of line. Because it is true. And pointing it out has nothing to do with anybody's kids or whether or not our families are more important than the results of a collegiate sporting event. We get emotionally invested in this team because we are fans. And I don't think there is anything wrong with that. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhettRingers Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Blake is signing with Carolina. Berg is staying for another year. Wilkie visit seemed to go okay, I'm guessing he will be making a decision today sometime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it supports UND student athletes, it maintains no direct affiliation with the University of North Dakota." https://1883collective.com/faq/ So it's just not direct, but the coaches still need to let the NIL know they are recruiting somebody in order for them to offer the NIL money.

Sounds like millennials vs boomers thread…. Mr. T and I finally filled our bucket list of seeing them win in Tampa. Loved all our travels supporting the team despite all the disappointment over those 16 years. Gotta take time to smell the roses instead of the losing stench & smelly hockey sweat.

No idea if he was truly leaning UND at that point, or just said whatever he felt like when people would keep asking about his plans. Since then, it's been multiple people close to the team that said it was always DU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're definition of "disaster" is interesting. A disasterous March would've been losing to WMU (1, 2) then UNO (8, 9), then swept by Miami (15, 16), thus missing the Frozen Faceoff and likely falling out of the NCAAs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilkie visit seemed to go okay, I'm guessing he will be making a decision today sometime. With how much all these players want NIL money and leverage, he sure would be giving up a lot. If he stayed and became a free agent he could have his pick of teams, including the hometown Minnesota Wild who don't have a lot of cap room and would love a hometown kid with a rookie contract. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jk Posted April 5 Popular Post Share Posted April 5 Regarding Blake, there are two things that up the angst. First, as I mentioned earlier, the TV guy said he'd stay. Second, MN got its legacy back (three years for a first-round pick!). On the other, more rational side, whatever the weaknesses in his build and game, the guy is a Hobey finalist. He set the conference record for points in a season. Heck, he scored almost twice as many points as the aforementioned first-rounder. If he wants to move on, it's his call. I only wish he would have weighed my feelings more heavily when deciding. 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does not win it, he would have to be one of the favorites for next season. That is an honor and recognition that can not be taken away and his legacy through future history. I am sure Carolina is putting a full court press on so they at least get something for that draft pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever adjective you want to use, the month of March was not good. You can spin it however you want, but the coaching staff needs to figure out why this happens after we clinch the Penrose. The main issue is from the neck up, not a lack of physical talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
