UND Fan

Wow - that is quite a story! Great respect that that young man!!!

Krogmann will play for Ben at UNI.

I will post the link along with instructions as soon as the site is ready.

As noted above, we are moving forward with this fundraising effort. I think your idea is great. Personally, I don't know if I have the time (mostly not having the expertise) to set this up. If someone if interesting in assisting with this, that would be great. Let me know - thx!

After taking a look at last year's results, I had forgotten that we quite easily surpassed our $5K goal with $6,700 raised. We will proceed with this with a goal of first hitting $3K for the ankle braces. Hopefully, we can raise that quickly and then move on to another $5K for the video upgrade. I will provide the link as soon as it is available along with the rather simple instructions. As a reminder, all contributions are tax deductible. Thanks for your interest in helping our FB program.

Yes, if we move forward, a link will be set up. It takes a few days to do so.

The response to my initial post has not been overwhelming. I have talked to Bubba and he sent me three needs that are not in his budget. His summary: 1. It costs us $5000 for a video upgrade so players have access away from the stadium. 2. $25,000 for a weightroom upgrade (velocity training.) It applies to in season lifting and last month before the season. a. This equipment gives immediate feedback to staff and the athlete how fast they are moving the weight. b. Difficult to do with the naked eye, this equipment is attached to current weight racks 3. We also looked at getting the entire team ankle braces that they would wear. Many guys are not getting taped. This would be about $3000. We obviously would not be able to help with the weightroom. Someday it would be nice for SS.com to be able to do these kind of things. I understand that members of other college fan websites (including FCS schools) do raise a significant amount of $ for their schools each year. I would think that we should be able help with the video upgrade or the ankle braces (maybe both). l would like a little more feedback before proceeding. Either post your thoughts here and/or, If you can give me the $ amount you would likely contribute, PM me. Thanks!

New offer: C Emmanuel Ugboh, 7', 245, Lagos (Iowa Western CC), Nigeria Has offers from Kent ST, MO St & ETSU Started all games as a freshman - averaged 6 pts & 6 boards.

Nice start for the soccer team today - a 3-0 win at Nichols St.

Henry will play for Ben at UNI.

I got it, MS! Thanks!!

You guys really don't need to post an amount on this thread for everyone to see. However, it would be good to PM me with an idea of how much you might be able to donate. That will help me determine whether we should move forward. Thx!

Those who are new to the SS.com board are likely not aware of our efforts a year ago to assist the football team with the purchase of knee braces that were not included in the budget. The launch of that fundraising effort is above. While the contributions of those who assisted last year was greatly appreciated, the response from SS.com members was not what had been hoped. Some OL alumni were made aware of our efforts and helped us reach the $4,500 goal. The purpose of this post is to gauge the level of interest in another LET'S HELP BUBBA fundraising effort. If there appears to be enough interest, I will again talk to Bubba to see what the greatest need is this year. We really do not need to debate whether certain expenses should be included in the team's budget. The majority of us agree that most of the athletic programs at UND are underfunded. The situation "is what it is" and whining about it will serve no purpose!! Feel free to respond here but I would suggest you PM me if you are able to provide a $ range that you could likely donate. We would again make sure that donations were made on UND's Crowdfunding website to ensure all are tax deductible. Thanks!

Brain dead!!

I am quite sure he received scholarship.

Lynn will play at Nebraska.

A big out of WI offerred: PF David Skogman, 6'10“, 200, Waukesha (West), WI Has offers from Sam Houston St, Rice, LIU, Air Force, Lafayette, UW- Green Bay, Furman, American, Bucknell & UW-Milwaukee

New commitment - I assume he is likely a PWO: OL Adam Neustel, 6'3", 285, Milnor (North Sargent), ND

Cooper will play for the Gophers!

There was nothing we could do about it. We were leaving the conference not that long after they did us a favor by allowing us to join a few years ago. BSC didn't want a conference championship or all-conference honors to go to a school (or its players) who decided to move away from their conference. Although I certainly wish our kids were able to earn those honors, I don't blame the BSC for making that decision.

A couple more guard offers: PG Semaj Henderson, 5'11", 150, Downers Grove (North), IL Has offers from NIU & WIU SG Ryan Wade, 6'1", 165, Ann Arbor (Skyline), MI Has offers from Air Force, Sam Houston St, San Diego, Toledo, Kent St, Detroit & CMU

Schedules are set years in advance so unless you are replacing another school in a conference, it will take at least a couple of years to work a new team into the schedule. While it was “nice” of the Big Sky to allow us to remain on their schedule, it would have been difficult for the eight BS teams to find a team to replace us each of the next two years.

Trieber will play at Iowa State.

Blacksher has narrowed his options down to six schools - UND is not one of them.

Normally, the weights listed are from last spring for players who were on campus and "recruited" weights for all newcomers. With players just arriving on campus this week, they will be weighed in the next couple of days and the roster page should be updated soon. Hopefully, we will see some significant weight gains!
