I'm not saying it should count more, I'm just including them. You were excluding them. I agree with Iluvdebbies, "small contributors" need to have a voice, as well.

I think you would miss some big "stakeholders", that are major contributors. For instance, did Wes Rydell graduate from UND? For all I know he did, but I'm sure there are others who are big time contributors to UND athletics that would be left out.

What about this guy...

i just posted in the Alerus turf thread that the replacement project has to be completed by August 24th or the contractor will incur $10,000/day in damages. Let's say that the contractor doesn't finish on time and ends up being a week late. It will cost them $70,000. Sure that is a lot of money and no contractor wants that to happen, but what if it did? UND's first home game is August 30th, which is less than a week after the project is to be completed. At that point, would UND move the game to Memorial? Would you like to move a game venue for SD School of Mines or an FCS opponent? There may be some thinking in the schedule besides just the possibility of playoffs.

Some information I was able to find on the internet... Award of contract.... No later than Feb. 8th Final Completion of project.... 11:59 PM August 24 LD... $10,000.00/day The turf conversion system shall allow the Alerus Center staff to install or remove the complete field within 2 hours, using 6 people or less. Primary and secondary Big Sky logos are not part of the base bid. They are each separate add alternates.

Just watched the Anthony Fletcher video on Sioux Football Insider and as a Saints fan, he reminds me a lot of Marcus Colston. He catches a lot of passes in traffic, over the middle and looks effortless when he runs down field.

Showing my age, when I started high school back in the fall of 1977 I was just on the south side (RRHS) of the dividing line. I lived a block south of Lewis and Clark Elementary. I believe RR was about 10 years old at that time. It was kind of funny reading the Herald article where it says kids from Schroeder split on which high school they attend. Back in my day, it was South that split between Central and Red River.

I saw that he has a YouTube video, but I stink at linking things from a mobile. Can someone link and post it?

Nor does it serve any purpose. Sica and Ira are "right on" with their assessments.

More Questions and Answers regarding the Root deal. I like this one....

Shouldn't it be you're wrong?

I remember seeing the IT Center get approved during last years session of the legislature. It popped in my head the other day, as to the status of the project. Question answered....

Big Sky Basketball If you need a Big Sky BB source here is a nice blog all about Big Sky Basketball written by a UND alum living in Denver. His take on the NDSU game...

From an EWU blog... big sky tv deal.

Southern Utah University to end baseball program I wonder what UND Athletics thinks of this and if there any similar thoughts going forward. I have to add the obligatory.... add lacrosse, for Sica.

As usual with kids, I didn't get to see the entire game, but have it recorded, so will be able to watch over the next few days. I agree with your take on Huff. He was everywhere defensively it seemed and did a great job. The put back by Mitchell late in the game on his third attempt, was a knife in the back of the bison with a little twist. Great second and third efforts. Truly a team victory. Everyone seemed to contribute in one way or another.

Doug Fullerton announces the Root Sports contract. What he knows and what he doesn't. He mentions basketball, but that sounds to be future.

A look at the mood in the REA Maybe this is a wake-up call for the student body and they will hit more games. Thanks to those who came and made noise.

So the name Bozo is quite appropriate.

Nice job guys. Brekke was huge in this game.

A lot of missed layups both ways. Yikes.

Love seeing UND on this.

Can't you come up with your own ideas?Sheesh!

Not in 10,000 lifetimes.
