What will the next president inherit? Still waiting for these plans to become official.

I found the "righteous" indignation elsewhere. Skyscraper Forum

UND: What will the next president inherit?

According to this PDF file.

Any word on Duraney White?

What is the deadline for applications?

Welcome Dr. Kelley. Thanks for taking your time to make sure that you are comfortable with and at UND. Congratulations!

He started out with a lot of ums and uhs, which made you think he wasn't pleased with the class, but then he started talking about the young men that UND signed and he sounded pleased. He felt like the players would be good kids both on and off the field. He talked about a few of them individually, starting out with Ian Rosario. He also talked about lessons learned. One of which is to not stop recruiting. Even though you already have a verbal from a kid for a certain position, keep recruiting that position, because that recruit may back out. He also hit on the fact that some of the other schools mentioned "uncertainties" at UND with a coaching change, new AD and new president coming in, which led to some of the "decomits". He said that he still have 3 invitations out there. Overall I think Mussman was pleased with the class.

The need for offensive line has clearly been met. Wow, those are some good sized guys. I wonder who else is coming, as it sounded like this list is not yet complete.

Kelley says he's excited about moving forward, but won't commit to UND just yet Doesn't Dr. Kelley know that today is national signing day?

Not that this is directly related to UND's search for a new athletic director, but I find it interesting that Wanless is applying for a job at Eastern Illinois as AD. Former Iowa State AD among EIU finalists

Maybe we will have a president this week afterall...Motion to interview more candidates for UND president fails

I just watched a WDAZ news report online from what I'm assuming was last night. In the story they had Paulsen on the phone saying that he wishes that the search committee had forwarded more than one name to the SBoHE. How can you be on the committee and distance yourself from the action of that committee? If there was a concern wouldn't you have voiced it prior to the end result? It wasn't as if it wasn't known publicly that the committee was only going to forward names of people that met the 3/4 threshold. I don't think this will be completed by Tuesday.

Thanks for the link to the video Big#75. He looks like a man among boys. A couple of observations. He always seems to push his man at least 10 yards down the field and he doesn't stop until the whistle. Many times it seemed like the opposing player didn't even want to engage him. Impressive.

Wow, what a goal. Looks like Bobby Orr flying through the air in front of the net.

Petition calls for top three president candidates and yet they did.

Spirit Lake may hold referendum

I got to hear it. It seemed like the whole overtime TH was excited. You could almost feel like the Sioux would score.

YYYYEEEESSSS!

The Sioux are Not Fooled I'll take the 4 points and the utterly disastrous season for the Golden Gophers for $1000 Alex.

Overall, I believe the committee did a good job. I was pulling for Bruce Smith to get the job, but obviously that didn't work out. I go back to my post here where Kelley was the obvious choice of the committee. Why leave it to the SBoHE to pick someone else, such as Long who only got 9 votes of 16? The whole argument as to whether there was a group voting as a bloc doesn't hold water with me. Looking at who was on the committee, I just can't see it happening. I don't believe that they would be up to such shenanigans. Kelley was one of only two of the candidates initially to get the 3/4 straw vote and was the only one to get the 3/4's vote of the final five candidates. Looks like the committee was being consistent I am hopeful that the SBoHE confirms him next week and Dr. Kelley accepts the position. moving the University of North Dakota forward. Edit: Oops, I didn't see The Sicatoka's analysis prior to posting.

Nice piece on Kenny Watkins. Welcome to the Fighting Sioux family Mr. Watkins. Watkins to fight as Sioux

Thanks Big#75. We look forward to seeing him at North Dakota, the "better ND". Who is Notre Dame?

The only message board that I view on it is SiouxSports and it works great. The Blackberry has a map function, which is nice. I use it occasionally, since I don't have GPS. I think that you can add GPS to the Blackerry for $10/month. The 8830 also allows you to open attachments to emails such as PDF and JPG files.
