UND Fan

Fully agree - they certainly should have had many others to choose from!!!

Why don't you guys PM each other - the rest of us have no interest in your back-and-forth jabs at each other!!

It is apparent that there is not an appetite for making on donation to the HPC on behalf of ss.com members so we will discontinue the discussion. I thank those of you who offered to contribute and ask that you do so directly at https://securelb.imodules.com/s/1652/02-alumni/index.aspx?sid=1652&gid=2&pgid=794&cid=1761.

What a frustrating loss - some questionable calls but if we can make FTs, we win!!

Played very well in the first half, defense was excellent for the most part.

25-20 win in the 3rd - good showing today!

I understood Jones to say that Tyler hadn't practiced yet this year. Does anyone know if that is correct or did I misunderstand what he said?

UND 27 UNC 23

I don't think things have stalled. However, costs continue to rise due to the very strong construction demand. They are needing to "move" some things from Phase I back to Phase II.

I have not but I will do so....

I was certainly not implying that most on this board are not already writing checks to UND on a regular basis. This would simply be a donation for something Bubba wants/needs that isn't included in the Phase I plans.

We all agree that the High Performance Center (HPC) will do a great deal to help UND’s football program along with T&F and other sports. With the construction being completed in two phases, I am proposing that Siouxsports.com members collectively make a contribution to the HPC. Details: I have asked the HPC folks and will ask Bubba what is not being included in Phase I that would really assist the FB program to have when the building opens. I have asked the UND Foundation to accept these donations so they will be tax deductible. The item or area would have a plaque reflecting it was funded by a contribution from ss.com. Due to some very outspoken fans (including me at times), ss.com is not necessarily looked at with respect by some in the athletic department. This could assist with our efforts to confirm we are true UND fans rather than a bunch of whiners and fair-weather fans. I would hope that we could raise $10-12,000 but have no idea if that amount is feasible. If we can’t raise a reasonable amount, it doesn’t make sense to go through the effort. Those of us who want to donate can do so directly. It is inevitable that an SU fan or two will say they will kick in $5,000 or so. I will try to determine whether a response is legitimate before adding it to the potential total. The big question: Your thoughts on this? The effort to raise funds for new uniforms did not turn out like many of us would have wanted but this would allow fans to donate whatever amount they could afford. I would start the fund with a $1,000 contribution. In an effort to determine the feasibility of raising a decent amount, I ask that you respond with an amount you are willing to donate. You certainly don’t need to be specific if you prefer. Simply stating “high or low 2 digits; high, mid or low 3 digits; etc. would be fine. If you prefer to PM me, that is fine. Obviously, we won’t “hold you” to any contribution amount. Any contribution amount would help – please let me know your thoughts in the next few days. Of course, if you have any buddies who might be willing to contribute even if they aren’t active on ss.com, we wouldn’t turn down their $. I will provide a periodic update of the responses and potential $ that could be contributed. *** If this is successful, it would be cool to make a yearly contribution for something Bubba and the program could use.

Were these kids at the game? Been offered?

Three point lead for UND at the half.

Ben Ellefson, the TE from Hawley who committed to the Bison, received an offer from Purdue today. I wonder if he will give it serious consideration.

Wesley is a 6'4", 190, WR from Milwaukee. Johnson may be along for the ride. He is 5'6", 160.

Fully agree!

Nice Win 15-11 in 5th

Going to the 5th set....

Agree - they have looked very good so far!

NAU 31 UND 13

You do a great job with your blog and your observations. Much appreciated!

Good article on offeree Tristyn Hanson in today's Trib: Lakeville North linebacker makes improbable comeback

Wiki updated - thx

balla45 & nodakhoops - we certainly appreciate the insight you two have provided regarding talented ND HS playerss. Please keep it coming! I am sure one of your primary sources for this info is AAU ball. From what you have seen, are there any other area kids (Upper Midwest) that UND or SU may have an interest in recruiting a year (or two or three) from now? No need to mention any athletes that will undoubtedly opt for a major. Thanks!
