Depends. When you look at some of the D-I teams, especially the big schools, they get support from the schools, almost treating it as a NCAA Varsity sport, awarding scholarships and the like. We billeted for a few years for our local NA3HL team, and a couple of our billets visited Iowa State. They had a strong program with a strong financial backing. I have heard of programs like Oklahoma, Arizona, UNLV, etc., travel by plane to some of their contests.

When you start getting into the lower D-1, and especially the D-2 and D-3 teams, it is more like a pay to play situation. They may get a little help from the school and may get to use school transportation. Otherwise, it is basically playing for the love of the game.

My cousins kid plays on Embry-Riddle's D2 squad. Surprised the hell out of me.

Was not aware that so many club programs existed. Do they receive any support from schools and are they required to be students.

Box Elder bugs are present around Box Elder Trees a member of the maple family. The ugly black and orange bugs eat the seeds of the tree.They try to enter homes when it's gets cold. We rented a house while in college, which had a box elder tree beside the driveway. Bugs were a nuisance coming in home.

The Jimmies Men's Club Hockey Team checks in at #6 in the opening D-1 Club National Poll with a 4-0 record on the year.

Minot State (0-0) checks in at #3, while UMary is at #14 with a 4-2 record.

Looks like D-2 Club has Moorhead, Bemidji, Augustana, Jamestown, St. Cloud, Crookston, Duluth and Mankato. No opening season poll, yet.

I didn't see any NSIC schools at the D-3 Club Level.

Passed through a town in the Marshall area a few weeks ago that named the towns festival Box Elder Bug days...one of the least appealing names I've ever come across.

I saw enough of those during my high school era, so that is gonna be a hard pass for me.

That would be Minneota, Minnesota - a town so nice, Michelle Bachmann named it twice!

Ghent's Belgian-American Days is the Met Gala of town celebrations in the greater Marshall area. Nothing but waffles and Rolle Bolle. It's why Marshall's nickname is "The Gateway to Ghent."

Large lake, surrounded by trees

Yeah there's definitely a handful in the area.

I always thought it was cool how UMD is a sea-grant institution.

[CollegeFBGuy]

UMD has a fairly large lake next to 'em.

Explains a lot.

Don't forget beans.

Corn, soybeans, sunflowers, edible beans, carrots, potatoes, sugar beets, wheat, alfalfa...lots of crops in the NSIC lands!

Pequot Lakes, Minnesota is known for Bean Hole Days.

What's a bean hole, you ask? It's a hole with beans in it! What else would it be?

[Tundra_Man]

Corn or big woods seems to be the norm at most
