I read that too. Does anyone know if it was a commencement ceremony or some other graduation function?

Not sure where to post this, but figured this would be the appropriate thread... http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/football/4411394-sdsu-football-coach-arrested-dui-has-upcoming-court-date

That is good to know. I thought about buying two more tix on a different credit card for a friend but decided not to. Didn’t want to risk having my two tix canceled.

May end up happening. All the other shows are during the work week. GF is the only weekend show in the region. Plus Minneapolis and Winnipeg will definitely sell out so I would suspect there will be fans from those markets willing to drive to GF on a Saturday to see the show. Not sure if it will sell out or not, but I would suspect there will be 15,000+ for this show.

Agree with this as well. Going to see them, or any concert in the Cities or elsewhere increases costs due to travel. I’m ok with the price points for this caliber of performer. Presale ticket sales seem to be going well also. I bought two tix, didn’t know you could by more since it said on their site that you could only by two tix. Didn’t want to risk having them canceled. Of course, maybe you purchased tix on two different credit cards.

Looks like GF got Metallica in on a Saturday night. They are also playing Minneapolis on a Tuesday, Sioux Falls on a Tuesday, and Winnipeg on a Thursday. Hope people show up for the non country shoes so we can continue to get those types of shows in GF. a side note, the opening act for Metallica is comedian Jim Brewer and a DJ.

I saw them at the BSA in Fargo in ‘92. Great show...just them and about 3 hrs of music. Still enjoy their concert but they aren’t the same as they were back in the 80s/early 90s. Glad they are coming to the Al.

Now it looks like Metallica is coming. Glad to see they are making an effort to diversify the types of acts they are bringing in. Now we just need the people to show up for these shows...

I am kind of curious if our new AD will try to bring in new combos for our uni’s. EWU always seemed to change things up with their uni’s. I would guess he would defer to the coaches though. And our coaches come across as fairly conservative when it comes to uni’s...

Yea, Half Brothers has been a great addition for the live music scene.

So something along these lines? https://www.basilicablockparty.org/ Town Square does some of that already, but it is nice to change it up a bit.

Not as big of a name/national brand, but Half Brothers Brewing and Brick and Barley are having Hairball perform for a free concert on 3rd street on May 5th. Add in Blues in the Red, Concerts in the Garden, Up North Ribfest, Alley Alive, and Greenway Takeover Festival, more bars downtown offering music and GF has quite a bit of entertainment/music options. Entertainment options is one of the things I've always enjoyed and wanted to see more of in GF. Over the last few years this area has grown a bit more.

With the budget issues at EWU and a President who appears to be reluctant to emphasize sports, I doubt they will be adding hockey any time soon, if ever.

Someone needs to remind Tom that we are moving to the Summit for all sports except football (and hockey) for next year. http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/volleyball/4397153-und-volleyball-lands-uconns-offensive-leader

Also, UConn volleyball is not very good relatively speaking finished with q losing record last year. Lost to Sac St. 3-2. But it is interesting that she chose to head so far west. At 5'9" I agree that she will more in be in the Merselli mode, hitting back row and some OH. She appears to be very good on defense and collecting digs.

Not sure if there will be a blog but did see this on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/1471225586337855/

Appears to be a very solid player and will have two years to play. Nice get. Has Pryor been signed to an extension yet? If not, Chaves better get on it...

Of course there's something better out there. There always is. Did something better out there apply? Who knows? Either way, I believe we got a pretty good AD for our level as proven by his track record.

You forgot to mention Kennedy's meeting with the #GOBC at Judy's tomorrow afternoon. Need them to sign off on it first, then the negotiations will begin...

So it appears as though no announcement will be made today. Anyone know when we might expect an announcement?

So then you find a way to let your "top candidate/guy you want" know that he's the top candidate, before forwarding the finalists. I know there' s "open record" laws...but I'd imagine there are ways around this. I guess "your guy" could still back out after that, then you would have the "train wreck" your describing.

I don't think the person making the decision has to choose from the three or four finalists if they aren't satisfied with them. I would guess if the decision maker were not happy with the finalists (or the top candidate withdrew in the scenario your referring to), they could choose to open it back up?

So according to this article: http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/4386220-eastern-washingtons-bill-chaves-last-finalist-interview-unds-athletic-director-post the committee is meeting Friday. Not sure if it's due to the blizzard or if that was the plan all along. .
