But we were actually an elite program then, making the frozen four all the time.  Plenty of teams to change your mind that are contenders almost every year.  UND is not the elite program it once was, thanks to a run of mediocrity.

But what about the Penrose?

[SIOUXELEVENS]

So if Berry is back without an extension and wins the Penrose next year but has an early exit in the NCHC and NCAA tourneys does he get a new contract?

That’s my fear. 

2026: Penrose; 0 NCAA wins; but extension

2027: miss NCAAs

2028: make NCAAs, but no wins

2029: Penrose; 0 NCAA wins; extension again

2030: repeat ….

Idk, I feel a tipping point has been reached this year. The fan base is starting to understand how dysfunctional the program has gotten. And that will lead to more calls for change.

I’m not sure where all the dissatisfaction is coming from.  We’re doing better than the Rube Bjorkman years.  Be thankful for what you have is what I’d say.

We are happy with Penrose and one and domes tho

Players seem to regress when they get here, Berry style of play is not what younger players want any part of and his line ups , playing older, average players over younger players with a higher ceiling. Figure out you lines before Xmas and run with them.

God, a Penrose would be nice!

I remember when Berry was hired the thought was the offense would open up, boy was that thought wrong.

When they missed the tournament the next season, I was hoping that wouldn't become the norm

When your players miss the net half the time, it doesn't really matter.

What a horrible comparison.  Look at the resources Berry has at his disposal for God's sake.  Maybe my sarcasm meter is on the fritz.
