      They would've found some other lame excuse to not play UND. Everyone and their brother knew UND was going to dump the name.

        They didn't wait around. It happens. It won't be a continuous rivalry going forward. Unfortunately, neither team will have a lot of road NC flexability (especially MN because of its commitment to in-state rivalries), both programs want a 1-for-1 agreement, and there are a lot of other quality NC opponents to consider.

          They have committed 4 home games to in-state teams, 2 on the road and 2 at that tourney but they go from 28 to 20 conference games so they'll have as much flexibility as they used to in essence.

            I wouldn't mind playing UND. Its just less of a priority for us than it is for them. It also wouldn't suprise me if there was some bad blood with Hakstol.

              True, but they also "mandate" 20 games to be played at home. I believe they have agreed to count the two tourney games at the X towards required home games though, so that means 18 home games. Only 10 of those will be home conference games, which means they need 8 home non conference games a year. So, the amount of 1-for-1 scheduling agreements they can have at one time is limited.

              Note: While some might consider games at the X "home" games for the Gophers anyways, the revenue for the tournament will be split between schools.

                    Thanks, but I didn't actually play any part in the victory.

                      I missed the first thirty seconds of the game, therefore I missed everything.

                          Me too. Stepped out in the hall to grab something and it was 1-0.

                            While that may be true, the chances of seeing UND in post season play within the four years is a high probability.

                              Very high. The tourney is often a showcase for irony.

                                The advantage of the legacy recruits we've landed is the cost is advantageous given the talent. Which allows for better depth down the road since you are essentially grabbing scholarship worthy kids way under market value for what they could get and you can use more scholarship elsewhere.

                                I'm sure Tyler Nanne will end up there at some point since Grandpa will probably be footing the bill and it limits any risk exposure to the Gophers.

                                The Vannelli kid is a question mark because of academics. He's a kid that will commit to a place and then it will be fingers crossed if he can do enough to eventually get admitted. No doubt the talent is there though.

                                Don't really need to say much about Gersich. He's been dinged up but I'd like to see more progress.

                                Lance Pitlick's son Rem is a tiny waterbug but has a lot of skill and quickness. Only 10th grader so we'll have to see. He'd be a kid that'd be for much further down the road.
