Get Hockey to NDSU thread

[TAILG8R]

So we can continue to dump money into an irrelevant level of a sport that itself is largely irrelevant????

Just add lacrosse . Cheaper and sport is growing. With infrastructure in place at Ndsu(IPF Dome and Dacotah field) and our culture we can compete for the national championship pretty quickly. It could be our niche sport like und hockey

UND theoretically has 2 chances to win D1 championships. Right now NDSu has 1. Lax gives us chance to win another.

This would actually be a great opportunity to get rid of some of those pesky donors. Pissing their money away on something they are not interested in. Brilliant!

Nobody cares about Lacrosse. We could build a championship caliber hockey program and it would be a revenue sport. I mean if powers like Quinapiac can win a national championship

Have you ever watched a game of Lax? I'm sure the sport has amazing athletes but I always feel like what their doing isn't super human or next level. I find it incredibly boring. When I watch DI basketball, football, wrestling, hockey, baseball etc I feel like I'm watching athletes who have a skill that I never had. It's what makes it enjoyable. I don't get that feeling when watching Lax. It's worse then the WNBA.

And why waste resources developing a program that damned few will have enough interest to even attend? The next new sport for NDSU needs to be women's wrestling.

Plus you can barely see the ball because it's small. Here, watch these highlights on your phone and see if you can follow the ball in real time. They have to slow down the highlights to slow motion

Plus the Lacrosse regular season runs from January to April. If we were lucky we could draw 50 fans a game outdoors.

Unless we want to move it to the Fargodome where the field isn't 60 to 70' wide. Terrible TV sport and even worse live

OMG, no, how do they handle all those strange poses> I can barely watch the men do wrestling
