Official numbers day is September 18.

WDAY Radio gets the story out before ForumComm? Strange ... or not really. What say you @Teeder11?

Pat Micheletti: winner of "Facepalm Tweet of the Day", Aug 31, 2023 Congrats Pat.

35!?!?! And he's an NDSU bobo! That's normally a season's worth of PA for them. Hokey-smokes.

And the choir says "Amen! Preach!"

Do we know the budgets were not reviewed. If they weren't I'd say y'all need to take action at the ballot box. It's no small task either. I've annually gone through and questioned a budget book that's grown to $150M over the last decade. Best thing you can have is a CFO that has miserly tendencies.

< shamelessly stealing for future use > NDSU has a propensity to be able to replace offensive linemen seamlessly. Until that changes any of us could average 3.5 yards per behind their line. Do I believe NDSU has shown weakness and vulnerability? Yes. Enough to take them from a dominant FCS role? TBD. Likely not.

Psst ... Danny "Blacktoes" Kristo can hear you ...

@nodak651 : your map is missing the Kraken. KC, ATL, HOU all can make good cases. But so can TOR for a second team (see NYC in MLB, NFL; CHI in MLB).

God made some perfect heads. The rest He covered with hair.

Is there waste? Indubitably. Unfortunately right now cutting every iota of waste will still be overcome by increasing prices for material and labor.

Someone show this to Gaber and Blake so they have an alternate shoot-out move.

Contrarian, but I'd rather sit in a room and chat for 30 minutes with Lucia before Motzko. Not sure exactly why but that's my gut reaction. But Woog would be the first choice.

With these grand plans of teams moving to DI, UND had better be planning "the future" of hockey also and what resources that'll take. Gifts from the Engelstad Family Trust are greatly appreciated, but I foresee needing more than just their goodwill.

The Golden Gopher Rule: they think they're golden, they think they get to make the rules.

Q with the shout-out to The Beach in the interview. Nice.

Makes you wonder if having General Armacost (USAF, Ret) at the helm of UND didn't aid the Senators and UND and Grand Forks. And the "National Security Corridor" update to Harrington Hall makes way more sense now. https://blogs.und.edu/campus-renewal/2023/07/harrington-hall/

Hey Dan, say you're a county snow plow driver. What you doing when you're told your pay will go down for the next five years. Or would you rather they stop doing maintenance on roads and bridges. Fewer sheriff's deputies? Holding the line on budget is near impossible right now; in my industry things are up 30-60% since 2019. I don't like it but I understand it: The county is struggling with inflation just like every business and household. NOTE: No politics, just abstract concepts (budget, inflation), are discussed above.

Normally don't like a Senator's "PR" site, but, exception: https://www.hoeven.senate.gov/news/news-releases/hoeven-sky-range-is-a-game-changer-for-hypersonic-missile-testing-builds-upon-partnerships-weve-brought-to-the-grand-forks-region

Now figure out what supporting businesses they'll need and start it and make your money.

Minnesota fills Logan Cooley roster slot with something called Nick Michel. #13thForward

Thrashers or Squawking Ostriches. Your call.

That should SO be Eastern Michigan University ...
