UND Fan

There must be a limit as to how many can tune in. I am having no luck!!

Guys - give me a little guidance. Once you get to the CSTV, how do you get the game up? I click on the UNO/UND game and nothinq happens.

Travel safe and, again, thank you for your service! Hopefully, you will have a Sioux win over UNO as a nice present when you get home.

Have you seen the men work out? If so, how do they look?

Thanks - Brian Jones now has this info and, I am sure, he will check this young man out!

Thanks for the info. I will make sure the BB staff gets the info. I tried to learn a little more about Smendziuk on the web but couldn't find anything about his current height and weight. I know he was 6'4" a couple of years ago. Any more info would be good. Per the quote above, he was guarding a 6'11" guy. Does that mean he plays center on his team?

TD Brady!

Welcome to the Board!

I agree - $500 million is a ton of money. Especially if it is to be raised in such a short amount of time. There must be one or two major gifts that will kick this campaign off. There is a great deal of discussion regarding UND's ability to fund the move to DI athletics (especially from SU fans) and I have been very concerned about this as well. If we make the move, we need to do it "right". To do it "right", it will take a lot of money - especially considering UND's remote location, cost of recruiting, travel, etc. However, I understand from pretty reliable sources that some major commitments were made before the decision was made. I think there are some UND football alumni who have agreed to assist in a big way if we made the move. As mentioned elsewhere today, the upcoming Facilities Report may also be quite interesting. I believe it will include an indoor track/practice facility that would be built quite soon. Obviously, the money for that would be over and above what anyone was donating to an Athletic endowment and normal contributions to the Fighting Sioux Club. Our SU fans who continue to find time to post on this site will likely continue to voice their concern about our ability to fund DI but it may not be quite the huge challenge that they envision. And before anyone jumps to the conclusion that I am implying that the vast majority of this endowment would be for athletics, I am sure that will not be the case but I bet a significant chunk of it will be earmarked for sports. One other factor that many may not be grasping, UND's decision to wait an extra year was primarily based on the fact that it would allow one extra year of fundraising before the higher expenses truly hit. They had already mailed out all of the Fighting Sioux Club membership info for this school year - at the same level to donations per category as last year. You can bet that the donation levels will go up substantially next year. This will help provide a "cushion" for 2008-9!

Whether us UND fans like it or not, I think you are correct in your assessment.

Does anyone know who has been most impressive among UND's redshirt freshmen?

Another congrats to the Bison! A great win!

What type of pressure are you referring to? Pressure on him? Pressure regarding DI?

Has any GF resident or UND student been able to watch the BB players working out? If so, I am curious as to how the new guys look. On the down side, I understand there is a good chance that Harkins will not be able to play this year due to his shin problems. They still can not determine what the real problem is.

I sure hope that Hellevang is just getting off to a slow start and, that after making a couple of FGs, his confidence will return and he will be a respectable kicker for us. If not, I don't know where we stand. The only other place kicker on the roster is Matt Buckalew, for EGF. However, the backup on the depth chart is Alex Nicholas. His bio indicates he was all-conference as a kicker his senior year. Anyone know anything about either of these guys' kicking ability?

Field goal miss!

Dryburgh is with the team - working hard everyday. Bledsoe and Koenig are continuing to make progress - not 100% yet!

Don't waste your time communicating with this guy. He was making the same comments last year - offering up to 10 or 14 points. I bet $100 with him and offered to have a third party hold my $ until after the game. I am sure that you are not surprised that he just seemed to vanish after we humiliated Winona down there. Just ignore the jerk!

We appreciate the note and wish UNI the best during the rest of the season! I am sure you will do well!

Thanks to Bison fans for all the kind words! Your congratulatory comments are greatly appreciated!

TD DRRESLERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
