Can you imagine Mike Hawk having a larger presence in the REA! Ralph would be rolling in his grave.

Make it the place to be instead of the place to be seen.

It all started when they got rid of the beer lady.

I sort of agree. If UND does not want to commit to be a top-level FCS school in all sports, lets just become UMN-D again and save everyone the time and money.

I grew up 90 minutes from Huntsville, have a few friends that went to UAH, and a couple that live in the area now. The city is booming and expected to be the largest one in Alabama by 2024, mostly driven by the aerospace and the automotive industry. UAH is more of a commuter campus so hopefully, this will get more students to stick around for events such as hockey.

I know Facebook is a giant echo chamber and the sample is very limited, but the comments on the Daily Camera page about 90% negative.

So is the chief of staff gone too?

So the biggest question: CU starting hockey?

There has to be more out there like him right? UND/North Dakota connections in academia that have moved up the ranks and looking for a President's job. Not saying keeping it in the circle is the best way to go, but certainly a good one

Time to get the popcorn ready

Does UND still do the caravan every summer? I remember a few years ago a group of coaches and UND athletic staff would go to various communities throughout North Dakota and part of Minnesota for fan greetings, golf outings, or whatever.

NHL regular season winding down with the coach coaching carousel kicking into high gear. Will Hakstol land another chance on a NHL team?

If bowling is a sanctioned sport, no reason curling shouldn't be one

Great article and find. Thanks for sharing.

Ya, not like those powerhouses Mayville had to play during Tim's days.

a sport that does not get enough exposure for sure

Late to the party. Paul Sather of Northern State seems like an interesting candidate for a future (hopeful) job opening, but that is only based on the one article blurb.

maybe U.S. Women's soccer, at least during the golden years

When did they change owners? Haven't been there is over a year and don't remember this on the menu.

Agreed. I never recommend family or friends to stay at that place. Overpriced for a very average experience. I personally wish Radisson or some other U.S. chain buys the property and really turns into an actual premier hotel for Grand Forks.

At least worst case for Brady, he will no doubt land a CFL contract. Not as lucrative as the NFL, but still $$$

Opening Day, one of the best days of the year! Twins predictions? I am going out on a limb and saying Twins are playoff bound in a wildcard spot. Rocco seems like a great coach, pitching has theoretically improved, & Buxton had a great spring training

My view of a successful MBB coach is one who can consistently field a team that wins the Summit Conference perhaps 2 out of every 5 years, with the other 3 years still in the upper half with maybe a random NIT bid. This also includes beating 2/3 of the Dakota schools each year. I don't expect MBB to be #1 every year, just not be a basement dweller. A cherry on top would be one first-round win in the Big Dance once in the five-year cycle. Maybe it is too high of an expectation, but don't think it is an unreasonable one.

NCAA MBB Tournament is why basketball must be a focus for UND athletics. More people will watch the game no matter the seed than any FCS Championship game or Frozen Four Faceoff. There is no better or bigger stage for a non-FBS school then the NCAA Basketball Tournament.
