You bid prior to finding out if you are even in the playoffs. One could make some assumptions on match ups but it would be risky throwing out a high number prior to knowing the opponent.
-
No. The game will be in Fargo.
-
I've posted it before but the New England Patriots blow the air horn and follow it up with "Crazy Train" on third downs. It's pretty sweet and would combine what we do now with something fans know. Its on YouTube if the Alerus staff wants to find it for reference.
-
Than they finish 7-4 and make the playoffs.
-
No one said rainbows and sunshine but it is improved, wouldn't you say?

Find ways to get John the ball in space but you can't argue with Brady getting carries. Dude is a load and a complete change of pace. No dancing, just lower the shoulder.

I didn't mind it, my five year old and his two buddies thought it was hilarious so I am fine with it. Anything to get the kids loving the games. I did love the Hawk on the big screen during field goal attempts. Love to see more things like that. The entrance was legit All that's needed now is a tweak in timing to have the camera out in front of the team to show Bubba leading the crew to the helmet. I give the Al and marketing staff a lot of credit, it's improving.

After SUUs second TD #1 for them came to their sideline and gives he Hulk Hogan palm to ear to the student section and crowd. Next series they run that play again and Flowers light him up and he doesn't step back on the field.
-
It's NDSU fans and UofM fans mostly Take it for what it's worth
-
More than one team from each conference is allowed in.
-
Hard to argue with this. Outsatanding to see Bubba stand up for his team.
-
Way better. If they would have the team wait and do the video of them exiting the locker room like Nebraska it would make it legit.
-
I don't know anyone over looking SUU. Both teams know what is in the line today. Depth at safety will hurt us today. I'm predicting a couple blown coverages. We still prevail
-
Agreed. I think it will be a very close game. SUU will be a boarder line playoff team at years end. This would be a good win for us.
-
Montana threw for over 400 yards. Two games worth for us.

I would also argue that he would have a tough time finding more than a few on here who don't agree with cutting sports. The argument is which sport should be cut. If our FU fan would like I was on the cut program bandwagon when FCOA was announced. If UND is hiding as much as he claims it will be made public. The media in Grand Forks actually challenges the university and spends more time above the desk on campus than under it like the Fargo media.

It would be hard to convince me FCOA hasn't impacted recruiting for the positive. That said, it's only been offered for 1 year of signing periods. I would say this year we have an opportunity to win a few conference championships which would be a good first step. (FB, VB, MBB, WBB)

I assume this will be handled as in the past and if an athlete chooses not to transfer they would retain their scholarship. Seems fair. I also imagine coaches would be paid out their agreed upon contracts.

They will form a committee of athletic coaches to decide which college programs get cut?

Again, UND does not belong at the same level as Minot and Mary. It's hard to argue UND is not at the level it needs to be. Just can't support 20+ sports.

Yeah, it should have been brutally honest. A school the size of UND cannot financially support more varsity programs than schools in the P5 conferences with athletic budgets many times larger than UNDs. They also don't belong in the same division as Minot St., Mary and Northern St. It should not have been hard to see to be completely honest. It should have been identified a lot earlier than now.

I appreciate the insight. At the end of the day, it is all a blurry grey area. I for one had no idea that UND was threatened to be taken to court when UND women's hockey was started. I about fell off my chair when reading UNDBiz's post. I appreciate you posting that screen shot. With that, I can understand some of the hesitation to face that again but in this case, I truly feel UND internally is being its own worst enemy. If you want to get out from behind this thing throw this stuff out there. Don't waste time having coaches addition to keep their sports. Try and explain what you are doing as positively as possible as trying to remain compliant vs. how other similar schools are doing it. At the end of the day, UND cannot manage 20 sports. I had a Facebook friend absolutely beside himself on how UND could be cutting sports. When I told him UND sponsors more varsity sports than the University of Texas he didn't believe me. Some of these facts are what needs to be out there. The days of a D2 bus league are gone.

Scheduling the other Dakota schools has not been easy.

Also, if UND wanted to prove a point and raise awareness to what they are doing is correct and other schools is wrong, laying out the explanation for tiers should have been done at the first meeting and again at the second meeting and possibly released a press release for the public. Than you go from being a cluster to full transparency to the general public.
