Today was first time in 21 years as a ticketholder that we left before halftime..............

BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!

This F'n Hawks defense is F'n bad .........

Not terribly surprised by the result, given the talent we have at the QB position, which at very best is only average for FCS. Having said that, this game was lost by the defense IMO. The offense actually settled in on that long drive when it was 14-0, and that is just what was needed at the time. The D just couldn't answer the bell. This archaic 3-4 scheme just can't get stops against modern offenses. It has been a very long time since UND has had a defense that excels, and I feel like it could be because they are essentially running the same scheme since 1992. Our season sort of went downhill after the big win against NDSU last year. I'm hopeful the opposite will be true after this loss. Perhaps this will be a needed wakeup call after the mostly impressive performances against the "fluffy" part of the schedule prior to this game.

I like Fruechte's play calling. I was really disappointed when Freund left, because I felt he gave us an advantage in most games as a creative play caller. But I think Fruechte does a better job calling the right plays at the right times. I actually feel he is even doing a better job with less talent at the QB position than Freund ever had. I also feel it is more of a "straight-up" offense if that makes sense. Less gimicky and trickery. He has really been doing an excellent job IMO.

Wonderful game to be experience in person. Probably Top 5 that I can recall being in attendance for at the Alerus. That said, the slow starts can't continue to be a trend. Our QB was gritty and made some plays when needed. But I fear this team won't go far without improvement in the pass game.

Answer on air service from Grand Forks to Denver could come by end of year

Employees report layoffs at West Fargo-based Epic Companies ND officials investigating Epic Companies after multiple employees and contractors say they aren't receiving payments Welp, that's not good...........

KNOX reporting this morning that GFK is the only airport in ND that saw a decrease in boardings over the most recent reporting period. Probably not a real attractive statistic while trying to entice a new carrier to move in......

Starting to look more and more like the Great West all the time................ And to think we were in the Big Sky at one point.......

I just booked a flight this morning. I could have flown out of GFK for $1,098 round trip on Delta. I instead chose to leave from FAR for $388 on American. I feel like it is worth the extra 10 minutes or so it takes me to get to Hector from where I live.

Grand Forks moves forward with air service consultant

Mayor Bochenski spoke briefly about the air service issue on KNOX radio the other day. He said a "study" is in and that Delta's route between GFK & MSP is the third most expensive route in Delta's system. They have spoken with Delta about that and indicated that Delta is going to "help them out on that". He also mentioned several times the appeal of a Denver connection, and kind of made it seem like they are still actively trying to make that happen again.

There was once an article in the GF Herald a few years ago about Denver Air Connection possibly adding a route from GFK. They apparently have agreements where you can book flights with them through either United or American. I'm not sure if that's more realistic or not versus getting one of the mainline carriers to add a route, but is a potential option. The Allegiant flights can work nicely from GFK if I am heading to one of those destinations. But if I need to get somewhere on one of the mainline carriers I don't even bother checking GFK anymore because I know the Delta flights out of Fargo are going to be cheaper with better connections. On top of that, I rarely fly Delta because I find American & United are almost always cheaper. I often feel GFK would be far better off with a "mainline" carrier serving either DEN,DFW, or ORD and then getting a "boutique" carrier to run the daily MSP route.

Viewpoint: With Grand Forks airline service, is it the chicken or the egg?
