sprig Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 How about Duck hunting season. How does UND end up with such crappy scheudles. Maybe Lucia stuck the "Minnesotans wanting to go duck hunting in ND" disk into the computer that came up with the schedule. Wonder if this at home before Christmas, on the road after is a permanent thing for the Sioux. Quote
MinnesotaNorthStar Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 Wonder if this at home before Christmas, on the road after is a permanent thing for the Sioux. I should hope not, playing a bunch of consecutive games on the road is very demanding on players, the best way is to spread the schedule out. A few here a few on the road ond so on. Quote
Greyeagle Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 BC should be a title contender and Yale is not bad (I hear they put up a good fight ), so much for the cupcake arguement next year. MN Northstar - Just an FYI, but MSU-Mankato is "Cindy." Quote

MN Northstar - Just an FYI, but MSU-Mankato is "Cindy." Gotcha...Thanks, I like being on the "inside" ...ah yes, Mankato as a clueless little girl who thinks they are better than they are (or am I way off base?). And a good "fight" is right...UNH/Ferris style I hear I also like the fact that no one can say our record is watered down because of cupcake NC opponents. Quote
The Commodore Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 What's up with the weird home-away schedules..... I don't know if this has any bearing on why the schedule is home-heavy in the beginning, but there's a lot of season ticket holders who have to drive to get to GF... my family's from Devils Lake, which means we get home after a game at 11:30 or 12:00, which has never been a big deal to see UND play... but if it's a home series in January and there's snow, there's going to be less fans in the seats. Since there's better weather in the first half of the season (statistically, anyway), maybe they set up the schedule as such to decrease the chance of a snowstorm preventing hundreds of out-of-towners from getting to the game. And take it from me, the fans from Devils Lake that I know cheer their @$$es off... because if there's a loss, we've got a 90 minute drive home (and the bitter knowledge that we drove 3 total hours to watch UND to get beat by f#%*ing Michigan Tech) to brood about it, and that sucks. So for self-interested reasons only, I'm all for the "weird home-away schedules" Quote
beersong Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 I tried to find the Gophers, Mavs, Bulldogs 03 Sched to no avail in anyone has any info... please share. I think the WCHA will get real interesting next year. As requested the 2003-04 UMD Bulldogs Schedule... Oct. 4 -- at North Dakota (U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Game) Oct. 10-11 -- Ice Breaker Tournament, East Lansing, Mich. (UMD, Boston College, Findlay, Michigan State) Oct. 24-25 -- at Minnesota Oct. 31-Nov. 1 -- ALASKA ANCHORAGE Nov. 7-8 -- ST. CLOUD STATE Nov. 14 -- at Bemidji State Nov. 15 -- BEMIDJI STATE Nov. 21-22 -- at Union College Nov. 28-29 -- MINNESOTA STATE-MANKATO Dec. 5-6 -- at Michigan Tech Dec. 12-13 -- at North Dakota Jan. 2-3 -- BOWLING GREEN STATE Jan. 9-10 -- at Denver Jan. 16-17 -- COLORADO COLLEGE Jan. 23-24 -- MICHIGAN TECH Feb. 6-7 -- at Minnesota State-Mankato Feb. 13-14 -- MINNESOTA Feb. 20-21 -- at Colorado College Feb. 27-28 -- NORTH DAKOTA March 5-6 -- at Wisconsin Quote
flatspin7 Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 Damn... and UMD said that UND plays weak non conference teams. The only good teams they play is during that ice breaker tourney. BSU, BGSU and Union.... Awwww C'mon really. And they wondered why St. Cloud got into the tournement and UMD didn't. UMD looks to finish off the season with a real tough stretch. At Mankato, Minnesota, at CC, and UND that will make or break the season, but finisher to Wisconsin look to be of similar calibre to UND finishing with Tech unless UW turns it around hardcore next year.

I think that within the next two years Duluth will have a tougher NC schedule, Sandelin has just started rebuilding the program, and as they get better (as I assume they will) more quality NC opponents will want to face them.

MN Northstar - Just an FYI, but MSU-Mankato is "Cindy." This may or may not be funny, but the girl that played Cindy in the brady show ended up being a porno star. So I guess MSU-M is Cindy... Quote
flatspin7 Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 Cindy became a porn star? I thought the Brady Bunch was supposed to demonstrate good family values. And hey Mankato would never be lucky enough to have porn stars running around.... We dont even have that in Grand Forks. Maybe U of M has pornstars, but not us. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 Sorry to ruin your fantasy, but Cindy "Porno" Brady is an urban legend. Quote
flatspin7 Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 Sorry to ruin your fantasy, but Cindy "Porno" Brady is an urban legend. Booooooo.... You had to go ruin my fun. Ah well Mankato still doesnt deserve the pornstars. Quote
MinnesotaNorthStar Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 Booooooo.... You had to go ruin my fun. Ah well Mankato still doesnt deserve the pornstars. Ah, Ah, Ah...not so fast boys...there is a bit of misinformation on the link... "...and the magazine deems it highly unlikely that, when asked "Where's the strangest place you ever made whoopee?" a "Newlywed Game" contestant replied, "That would be in the butt, Bob." " I've seen the clip on America's Funniest Game Show Moments...so there is still hope on Cindy Brady Quote

The top 10 teams or so either pick another top 10 school, or a *ahem*"cupcake" to fill their NC schedules. UMD will always play Bemidji because of proximity. Union contract is up after next season. This is the first year with Bowling Green. Of course, everyone at UMD would like to get some tougher opponents, but when you're not "the top dog" you can't pick and choose who you want to play. Quote
sprig Posted April 16, 2003 Posted April 16, 2003 Does look like a normal mixed home and away schedule. Wonder what year the Sioux might get one of those?? Quote

MN Northstar - Just an FYI, but MSU-Mankato is "Cindy." Ah maybe we can get Canisus and BSU to come to the second annual cup cake classic/tourney... The non-conference schedule seems a little light as in not enough games. Last year UND has 10 non-conference games. Quote

jimdahl Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 The WCHA released its composite schedule yesterday. UND's mystery exhibition opponent is: Concordia Quebec (the Bison weren't available?) UND's mystery tournament participants are: Findlay, Brown, Wayne St (at least all count as NCAA games) SiouxSports now has the complete 2003 UND schedule and all opponents' schedules (available from the team links in the WCHA standings table on the main hockey page).

Goon Posted June 5, 2003 Posted June 5, 2003 That really is going to be the second annual cream puff/cup cake christmas tourney. Yesh... Quote

kiork Posted July 21, 2003 Posted July 21, 2003 The REA Pro Shop has magnetic schedules. I picked one up on Saturday and noticed that the Concordia game is actually Concordia of Montreal (as opposed to Moorhead). Borrowed from www.concordia.ca: Concordia is a large, urban university, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The university has two campuses, set approximately 7 km apart: Sir George Williams Campus is in the downtown core of Montreal, and Loyola Campus is in the residential west-end of Montreal. My first impression is that it looks regal. There are no references to athletics on their main page. I found it interesting that, in addition to women's hockey, they also have women's rugby. Perhaps that wouldn't be surprising to people who follow rugby. Back to the subject: Last season, the Concordia men (9-13-2) finished last in their division of the Canadian Interuniversity Sport league. The CIS standings contain an amazing range of talent: One school finished 24-0-0 while two others combined for three wins. I, for one, am pleased that it is Concordia of Montreal rather than Moorhead. For further research: http://web2.concordia.ca/Rec_Ath/ Quote
sprig Posted July 21, 2003 Posted July 21, 2003 Concordia followed by BC; looks like a big weekend to weekend shock. Quote
kr Posted September 4, 2003 Posted September 4, 2003 From the Herald: Nov. 7-8 - Minnesota; Can't imagine the turn out at the concert will break 10,000 -- with the screwy scheduling the gophers weren't in town last year so I would think that most ticket holders are planning on attending both games and wouldn't necessarily flock to this concert... http://www.grandforks.com/mld/grandforks/6686678.htm "Alerus Pursues Aerosmith/Kiss" Nov. 8th -- add in the fact that Aerosmith has played both Fargo and GF within the last 5 years -- Maybe I'm a pessimist, but I don't think that planning a concert in GF that night/weekend is a very good financial investment...... Someone in marketing/sales please enlighten me.... Quote
NewGuy Posted September 4, 2003 Posted September 4, 2003 Students have slowly but surely been getting squeezed out of seats at the Englestad the last few years. Pretty soon, the Alerus won't have to worry about conflicts because there won't be any students at the games anymore, just 50 year old "good old boys". I think that an act like KISS will have no problem selling out. Keep in mind that this concert will probably attract a great deal of Fargo people too. Quote
