UND Fan

That was a larger settlement than I expected but it certainly does not "break the bank"!!

Well said!

While I agree with your statement, I don't think there was much money involved here!

I am somewhat surprised by Buning's very positive comments about his time as AD.

SoCal - I agree with all of your comments and, while I respect Shawn-O's opinion, I don't think we can wait until some time next summer for this to happen. Naming a new AD will not take place in the first few days/weeks after the new president comes on board. Unless the new president it is an internal candidate, he/she will have a ton to "learn" about the University, etc. before making major decisions like this! We cannot afford to have the athletic department in "tough shape" with "extremely low morale" and "frustrated coaches" until next summer. We need to move forward now rather than wait until the situation is much worse!

How was the crowd? Any players (male or female) stand out?

I fully agree with this observation. We do not have the luxury of waiting until a new president is in place to name an AD! Too much needs to be done NOW to be as prepared as possible for the move to DI! Most importantly, Rob would do a great job!

All the way up to #13 right now. Keep the votes coming!!!

Enlighten me, what role did Kuper play in this fumbel?

Thanks for the insight. Do you know if Harkins is able to go full speed or are his shins still a problem? How much do you think Benter will contribute?

Has anyone seen the men's BB team work out? If so, any observations?

Any observations about the play of others?

A legitimate question. From my point of view, we had no chance of getting him now. Who knows, situations change, people change - if he may be looking for another home in a year or two, that home may be UND. I really hate to make that kind of comment because I really want North Dakota kids to make whether they leave the state or not.

You are correct - my error!

I fully agree with your comments. I certainly hope there is no medical issue but I am 99% sure there is not. The only possible reason for the leave is to "punish" the University for asking him to resign/firing him. He would know that this continuing saga provides both poor PR for UND but may also hamper the search for his replacement. Being on leave certainly doesn't enhance his ability to bring suit if that is the direction he is going! I would also think it wouldn't enhance his opportunity to find another good job!

Aaron Dufault, the 6'8" forward out of Killdeer, has committed to Colorado. He had narrowed his options down to Colorado, Arizona State and NDSU. UND had courted him for a long time but he really had a good summer of AAU ball and, all of a sudden, everyone was after him! He is talented but may have some problems defensively. While I sure like to see ND kids do well, if he doesn't make it at Colorado, UND may have a chance to get him in a year or two.

This should be a heck of a game! UND 38 UNO 34

I thought there was still a waiting list for season tickets? Apparently not!

You have to be impressed with UND's start. I think Idalski will turn our program around rather quickly!

Unfreaking believable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is "awesome"?

Keep up the play-by-play! We appreciate it!

The Live Stats on the Mankato website is very good - wish we could get our site up and running. It isn't working, is it?

Who has seen Houdek play? Any insight into her game that you could provide?

Is anyone getting the video?
