'nuff said
AG1 laughed at their hockey program, it's a niche sport, football rules the roost so to speak. Coming from a Griz fan, that seals it for me.
#5 FOREVER "NOTORIOUS"
Yeah, well do you think you could be able to find a halfway-decent job in Grand Forks, even after graduating from UND??
I once had a boss in Fargo who was born and raised in GF. He told me that most normal people can't find any better job than stocking shelves at a grocery store in GF. He said he moved to FM because there was at least more options and variety of work, that not everything was service-based unlike GF.
That's why you see all the people with Fighting Pioux flags hanging in their garages in the SW suburbs.

Some comparison numbers 2010 SeasonDivision I Attendance
Football 43.7 million averaging 5-6 home games per year (NCAA numbers)
hockey 3.8 million averaging 17.5 home games per year (USCHO numbers)
2010 Per Game attendance
Average attendance DI hockey 3,985 fans
Average attendance DII football 3,630 fans
To be on equal footing, if a hockey season was 5.5 games per year would mean 1.2 million attendees
or if football had a 17.5 home game season per year would equal 139 million attendees per year.
FOOTBALL >>> hockey
DII football = DI hockey

Are we sure those attendance numbers are accurate? Check out who's number #10 and #131 on this list.

Don't matter. FIVE-PEAT!
Wisconsin, Minnesota, and North Dakota are the only teams that consistently average over 10,000 fans per home game. Michigan has been up there once in a while, but there are usually several teams in the 6K-7K range and 3,000 would get you close to the top 25 in attendance.
It's OK to not be OK.
