  1. I'm at the game tonight against Crookston. We are down by 3 at half time to a team picked dead last in their division of the northern sun conference.   This is going to be a very long year for basketball in grand forks this year.

    Milwaukee Academy of Science 2022 W/G Nakiyah Hurst (6-0) has committed to NCAA Division I University of North Dakota.

    I am going to take some things back I have said about Coach.  On paper she looks to have signed some really good recruits.  I hope this will translate into wins now.  I will be cheering for them all year to succeed.

    would it have been weird just to hire dooley when her basketball career ended?

    How about UND do a national coaching search instead of always hiring someone with UND ties.  Again looking from the outside, but I see this all the time that a UND former student, assistant coach etc is hired over some quality candidates outside of the school.   Just like the women's basketball hire.  I am going to give her a break because she has done some good recruiting now it just needs to translate to coaching wins.     But this volleyball hire looked like a disaster hire from the beginning.

    I wonder where they will be located?  It would be nice to have some restaurants on the south side of town.   I have eaten at several Freddy's always good food and different fast food then your typical fast food restaurant.

    Wings and rings 2023-2024 

    Is this fact?  Or just hoping to get here.  I have not heard anything they have coming here yet.   I agree chicken is much better then Bdubs food in general is.

    what are the eta's on the two mexican joints for opening (the rock and the old ruby t's)...

    I ate at the Charros in Bismarck this weekend and I asked about the Grand Forks opening date.  They told me August to early September.  Sounds like the owner is making some improvements to this location and wants to make sure its done right.  I was told alot of staff from the Bismarck restaurant will be coming to work here.  One thing different from the restaurants is that here they will be making their own tortillas.    Also there was a hour wait to get in to the restaurant and its been open for 3 years there, but it was worth the wait!

    Staff gets a huge commitment 5’10” guard from Michigan Rakiyah Beal.  4 star recruit that held offers from Big12 and Big10 schools.  Great job.  

    That does look like a good get for UND!  Do you know which Big 12 and Big 10 schools she had offers from?

    Anyone know anything about this eatery? Looks kind a grand opening is coming soon. It’s across the parking lot from IHOP.

    I ate at the one in Bemidji (under a different name )  and was very impressed.  I also have tried to eat at the one in Bismarck and every time the waiting list was to long and I never wanted to wait that long.  Excited for a new Mexican restaurant in town.   Their Facebook page says they will be open by July.  Any word when?

    Hornbacher's is now owned by Coborn's. Coborn’s operates 53 supermarkets in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Illinois and Wisconsin under the Coborn’s, Cash Wise Foods, Marketplace Foods and Save-A-Lot banners. 

    You're telling me Hugo's ran them out of town? 

    I'd say WalMart and SuperTarget did the deed. 

    Super value bought hornbackers . Hugo's negotiated with them that if they close their grand forks store they would change to the super value off brand of products.   Super value gets money from selling their off brand to Hugo's and closes a marginal store .  Only ones that lose are the people of grand forks losing another choice for a grocery store and Hugo's keeps their monopoly in town.   I wish someone would come in and get rid of that monopoly.  We don't need 6 Hugo's in town.

    Without question, this has to be the hardest that the basketball program has ever hit the JUCO route for offers.  

    This is the year to do it because they all have 3 years of eligibility left. Get their freshman years out of the way and get them for the best years of their careers. Still time to mold them into the players you want.

    It is interesting that he scored 15.7 ppg and 11.3 rbg while only playing an average of less than 29 minutes per game.  Looks like his real talent is going to the basket and rebounding.  He did shoot 50% from the 3 but only took 17 shots from that length during the season.

    Looks like he gets to the foul line alot. Tells me he takes it to the rim.  Shoots a good percentage too.  Let's get him !!!

    I put probably too much stock into twitter and who follows who but looks like the staff and Drew Wyman, a 6'5" G/F from Great Falls, MT, have followed each other recently.

    I watched some of his highlights.  He looks like a interesting prospect.  I seen he had offers from Niagara and incarnate word. No Montana offers .  

  13. Another player in the transfer portal Jaclyn Jarnot.  I am not sure how much this will affect the team, but I think she was starting at the end of the year.  Will be interesting to see how coach fills the open spots on the team.

    You don't seem to get it if they tried something of low balling her hire you would have federal lawsuit of unequal pay and opening yourself up to all types of lawsuits. Second is when she was hired for the position you made offer deeming her qualified to do this job all things your bitching about becomes irrelevant because she was hired with all those those circumstances happening before she was hired as head coach. If want to bitch about it goes back to AD and he will be held accountable for this hire knowing those things and still thinking she was best candidate for the job. Even here that is why he was hired to put together department he believes will do the best job for this university and if he doesn't make good hires he then will beheld accountable. It may not be choice you like but he is one hired to make these decisions and if you don't approve voice them to AD or President of the university but my guess is everyone in charge on this is going to see how this plays out it could be best hire possible in few years or it was mistake but nobody knows right now. 

    My beef is absolutely not with the coach.  My beef is with a.d.  He just blew $155,000 on a unproven coach that in her interview for the position she went 2-19 and didn't make the playoffs.   If I was a.d I would assume she didn't pass the first round of interviews.   This has nothing to do with coach.  I know she is going to do her best she can. It's the a.d who should have made the tough decision to move on !

    Getting tired of giving our coaches the benefit of the doubt

    Tired of sucking 

    blah blah blah

    But we hired our assistant coach.  Chaves is doing a brilliant job.  When a coach gets fired or quits we just hire their assistant.  No need to do a national search for another one.  :glare: I want his job.
