UND69er

We are the University of North Dakota. The largest University in the Dakotas. For some strange reason NDSU is rated the best college in ND. Tell me why and why UND cannot field a top level MBB and WBB team year in and year out! I am nearing 80 years old and am really tired of this scenario. Where is the problem?

Yes, China has historically been very bad and the US started to make strong inroads in moving away from Hydrocarbons. But China has made a commitment to change i.e. electric vehicles, solar, wind etc. while the US under Trump has begun to abandon many programs in favor of the oil companies and coal. Many US companies are not following in line with that and continue to work on reducing emissions and renewable energy. Unfortunately the administration isn't in that camp. Sorry, I guess this is political.

Adder: Apparently Doug Burgum has never heard of a battery or a capacitor. Says to congress solar power not available when the sun goes down. LOL

Darn, I thought it was April 1 er....fools day.

So we continue to invest in hydrocarbon technology while the smart world outside the US invests in renewable energy technologies. China is passing us by very quickly.

I surely hope so. Time will tell. Can't wait for FB season!!

Yes, when I saw him in HS. And....based on the mediocre talent UND has put on the floor the last 10-15 years overall I guess I was wrong. He fit right in.

So why then isn't he in the Minnesota plan if he's so wonderful? Stats fattened at UND in the weak Summit league and non conf.

Benefit, not profit. At least there is an interested crowd getting some entertainment from softball, not to mention community gathering spot. Tennis attendance has to be in single digits. And I was an avid tennis player in my younger years so not a tennis hater by any means.

Stooopid! Avid college FB fan and I don't watch any of these toilet bowls now.

Darn, always wanted a vinyard!

Fragile. Got pushed around during HS tourney and was not very aggressive under the basket. Not sure anything has changed. Hope these kids are getting some career smarts in addition to playing BB. Stats are misleading I think.

Not sure what this kid is looking for. Been watching him since Mn HS tourney. Didn't have any toughness then and thought he was a reach to play at UND. But he has some talent, just needs to get some stability and going back to California doesn't seem like the answer. But. What do I know about kids these days?

I've considered this for some time, but keep these 4 and womens soccer, softball and volleyball. Drop golf, tennis and track and field. No one gives a hoot.

Maybe. Marquette degree likely more prestigious than UNI, but it depends on your career plans as well as finances etc. Milwaukee far more interesting city than Cedar Falls. Iowa, meh!

Totally agree. Just what MSP writer said.

They're blaming it on Zuccarello absence as a set up guy.

I am disappointed by this. Really liked the kid in the state tourney. Hope we don't regret it.

Is it deep? Not sure, we have these 3 guys who all look pretty capable, one fullback, Minot kid, and an incoming freshman to my knowledge. Probably missing someone, but I think we need a couple more. Am I missing someone?

I suggest we shutdown the MBB AND WBB programs at UND. Waste of time and resources.

This is really disappointing and surprising!!

If I still lived in GF I wouldn't walk across the street for BSU, Bentley, or Lindenwood. What a crap bunch of non nchc games.

Looks like the NCHC isn't the top college hockey conference this year. We'll see in 20 more minutes, but UW has sure taken it to the top 2 programs we have this year.

Fine, but I keep recalling the number of games this year, including Wisconsin, that this team comes out flat. Why? It's a 60 minute game guys. Let's remedy that issue. Goals in the 1st, for or against really impact the game dramatically.

What, and give up all those Penroses???
