Glas is actually associate head coach at UNI. link. Of the four finalists, IMO Brown is the one most likely to be a future star as a head coach. I would prefer him over the other three finalists. I'm just still trying to figure out how Smith, Johnson, Fuller, Jaskowski, etc. didn't warrant interviews over Jones and Weemer, in particular. It makes absolutely no sense to me.
Could it be $$. Maybe they wanted more than UND is willing to pay and said thanks, but no thanks. Obviously I'm only guessing.

My uninformed choice is Brian Jones from Iowa. I read his bio and liked what I read.

Heck, I say answer one of the two and more than half of the problem goes away.
(Yeah, the math doesn't work, but conference solves part of money, and money solves almost everything.)
I know that I'm being optomistic (and probably naive), but with the rumors that were flying last week regarding the Big Sky, is it possible that Kupchella is playing it coy and knows that he has the conference in hand? Couple that with the response that 90% of the survey saying that he had to have that in hand and all he is has to have is the money. As Jim pointed out people would be willing go give more money for Division I. I know that is waaaay out there.
Or is the complete opposite true and Kupchella has heard that there is no conference invitations in the offing and he has the survey to say "Not now"?

I needed some good news, so I checked on the progress of Canad Inn and found that they have a website showing progress ans some renderings inside and out.

The 3rd man in the line of presidential succession weighs in on the issue.

This is getting interesting.

I'm amazed at how much non-UND interest there is in UND's budget.
And I still would like to see a paper in the region get all of the data and put it out there (at least for the public universities). Let's see how these budgets are done.
This amazes me too. I always hear and read that UND is running huge deficits and with all that red ink UND cannot afford Division I. Then I read the information from last year and it doesn't jive.
Revenue Expenses
UND $10,021,643 $ 9,958,728
NDSU $ 7,668,848 $ 7,668,848
SDSU $ 6,280,833 $ 6,547,381
UNC $ 4,865,324 $ 4,865,324

I don't pretend to know how each school prepares or reports from their athletic department, but I'm sure there are a number of ways of doing it. Looking at the numbers above it would appear that SDSU is the school that can't afford to be in Division I.
I am hopeful with new blood both in the AD and at REA that perhaps they can work together to maximize the facilities for more $$$.
-
UNI will not be coming to Grand Forks as long as UND stays D-2. Neither will SDSU or NDSU. It's a completely losing situation for the D-1's to go to a smaller school's home field.
If you mean enrollment, UND is larger than both NDSU and SDSU. If you are talking about athletic budgets, UND is larger than both NDSU and SDSU. If you are talking about attendance, UND has better football attendance than SDSU.

Would the Turtle Mountain Chippewa have a problem if we changed the name to UND Chippewa and kept the logo? Didn't one of the members of that tribe design the logo anyway? That way we wouldn't be "abusive" or "offensive".
Additionally, I found the attached link regarding the name change issue.

"The University of North Dakota went one step further and has petitioned the state of North Dakota to change its name, since it is named after the Dakota Indians. The new state name will be North Plains. And their mascot will be the Natural Spring Water Ice Cubes."

Thank you to the Standing Rock and the Spirit Lake Nation People for their support.
I second that.

For starters I can't wait for the puck to drop & second for those who are somewhat curious. I have been a "FIGHTIN SIOUX" fan for over 30 years that's longer than some of these folks on this board that have been alive. So hurry hockey season get here soon if not soon enough. Well at least there's NASCAR to keep me going.
SIOUX FAN SINCE 1973.
Sioux fan since birth, 1961. I rememeber going to hockey games in the barn, basketball games in the fieldhouse when they had the old clock (scoreboard) with the lightbulbs illuminating in a circle and of course freezing at games at Memorial stadium.
Being nostalgic. Does anyone remember an old car in a ditch next to the railroad tracks across from Ray Richards clubhouse? All you could see was the top of it and the rest of the car was submerged in water and weeds. You used to be able to go over the railroad tracks there without having to go down to 42nd. That was the highlight of our drive to the game when I was a kid was looking for that car.
BTW. Thanks for the counters, guys.

Pensacola has been awarded the 2006 Division II Fall Sports festival. I'm hopeful that UND brings some teams down to participate. I live about a mile from the campus and would love to see the soccer and volleyball teams come down.

How deep you gonna dig that hole?
Give him a bigger shovel.

Bottom line is Glas needs to make a decision, it is to not doing anyone any good for him to leave this situation hanging out there. He needs to make a choice NOW.
In my opinion no way do you hire from within, I agree with the assesment that there would be such a short time line for success from within that it wouldn't be good for anyone.
Let's go find the best young up and commer they are out there and with the facilities and fan support this is and or could be a great job to spring board someones future.
I tend to believe that he has made his decision and is working with Buning and Kupchella on timing for the announcement of that decision. Glas does not strike me as the kind of person who would prolong things unnecessarily. It also helps that the offer on the other end is Jacobson, someone who can delay his announced selection knowing that Glas is coming
Not that I'm in the know, but there has to be a lot going on in the background with classfication committee and thus the delay.

You forgot the Communications School.
Good one.
-
The only reason UND gets more consideration is because they have a medical school and law school.
and an aerospace program and a great business school and etc ....

Bump
I think that the drive from Pensacola to Naples may be a little much. Probably just watch the games at home with kids like last year.
-
I see where Michigan's goal production and shots are down in the third period. Does this mean that they run out of gas or because they are coasting?

Any updates on the hockey tourney scores??
You can follow scores at the following link. I'm not sure how current it is.

Did it come up red? No, my mistake. It came up short of expectations, but was black about $100k. Either way, NDSU put money into a city-owned facility. And won't Alerus be around for "the next 90 years" also?
As far as "who pays", at this point the answer is "pays for what?" Nothing has been formally proposed. So what's to worry about?
I thought that you were alluding to this discussion regarding the Fargodome being in the red.

The Fargo Forum, August 27, 2004, Mike McFeely's column:
And an indoor training facility, especially in this climate, is a need.
I remember reading this, but I thought it was a "throw away" statement. The indoor training facility I agree is a must. Star2City,among others, has mentioned that a number of times.
-
$35 Million for new facilities.
Possibly adding seats at the Alerus. What is the thought, going I-A?
-
Two names added to task force which meets today.

D-1 Survey Says...

I too am in favor of the D-I move, whereas I was on the fence more a couple of years ago. I know that NDSU's attendance is up from a couple of years ago and is likely attributable to the move to I-AA, but the numbers for SDSU are not as glowing. I realize that the figures for the past two years are skewed by the number of games, 4 games in 2004 (one of which was the NDSU game) and 8 games in 2005.
2005 6972/game
2004 9846/game
2003 5547/game
2002 5967/game
2001 6732/game
