EWU takes the early lead. Up 7-0 with 6:30 to go in the first

Bubba wanted this game. He was instructed to say nothing. Your an idiot

Usually a "leak" comes from sources inside a dept. Who does KVLY have stronger ties too? If you want to control the media and what they report, sometimes you give that nugget to keep them happy.

So someone in the press got the story and gave it to one of their competitors to run with. Makes complete sense. I think its as likely that your source at FU is feeding you full of !@#$ cause you were upset they signed the contract. If UND was going to leak this story, they would have leaked it to a local media outlet who would have had no problem running with it.

If your acting AD or whoever signed your contract didn't think that this news was going to be a big deal, whether it came out of a press release, a news conference or a "leak" from a Fargo media outlet that has the contract for FU football, he should be let go. If you football coach, who probably had say in this, thought that it was not going to be news and the media was going to just wait until the season was over, I would be shocked. He is a much smarter man than that as I know him personally. If FU didn't want the distraction and the attention that was going to go on with this game, they should have kept avoiding signing the contract. It is not up to UND to wait for FU to be ready to announce it. If thats what they wanted, they should have asked for a joint news conference or, Gene could have signed this same contract as it has been in his hands since the week before he left and camp had not opened yet.

When the contract was signed, why should UND have to wait to announce it? We have a game a week from today. Get the announcement out of the way and move on. Plus, the breaking news came from the Fargo media. You sure UND leaked it.

I was unaware you could only schedule one non conference game per season. How does scheduling UND affect their other non conference scheduling. Another excuse

I'm sitting at Sanford in Fargo right now. I have heard plenty of talk about UND football today. Between demanding the two games in Fargo and the quotes from the press conference today, To the casual fan in Fargo, FU is coming off looking like they did everything they could to avoid UND.

Right, cause there has never been a two game win streak by either team in the rivalry. This series is just part of getting to be a successful program. UND could lose both games, but if they are winning the Big Sky and making the playoffs, they will be fine. Same for FU. This series is about bragging rights and reengerizing a fanbase that has not had a reason to be excited the last couple seasons. This thread is a great example, a lot of posters who have not been in the football thread for a while now thinking about the program. It helps get a buzz going in the fanbase again. This will be a big story for local media and on social media.

Don't worry, Winning the big sky is a team goal as well. Trying to compare UNDs very recent history to the history and rivalry against FU is laughable. It will take a few years to develop those games into what a 100+ year rivalry was/is.

Your good ole boys who pushed for bubba to be hired better go talk to him. He approved of this deal.

So that comment is based on one year?

They could. Point of my post was that Fargo's current growth is as isolated as the growth in GF.

Fargo's growth is also isoloated south of 32nd. It is very similar. Fargo can only grow south, landlocked by West Fargo and the river. They aren't light years ahead of GF in road development. Soon they will have to tear up the areas where they are using round abouts. Those roads will have to be widened and there is no way that a two lane round about will work in this area. They are reacting to the growth as well.

We should see a depth chart in a couple days. Any guesses? I'll say 5 redshirts pulled- Carter (cb), Francis (OL), Walker and Stanley (wr) and one DL, not sure which one.

Chiefs game just starting on Fox. Hope to see some Dressler tonight.

They can only fill one of those dates. From my understanding, if things don't work out with FU, Brian is close to an agreement elsewhere. I wouldn't be too concerned.

That is only recent. There are other areas where Fargo is tearing up recently build roads that are still in great condition to add additional lanes or the roundabouts you mention above. It may appear that they have built these and than the growth caught up to them but it still is the other way around. I live in south Fargo so I am speaking from experience both with the actual construction and the additional specials being added to my property.

In your opinion.

Extra conditioning at practice. Sending a message.

terrible confidence, bull$%!# post

Historically the summit is better or just last year? What's that based on?

If its up to the conferences that will cover UND and allow them to offer it for hockey only. I don't see the Big Sky or WCHA passing it. If the conference doesn't allow it, you take it up with the conferences, not the school if there are any issues.

Wonder if that's how he approached Weber? What's the going rate for a non home game in Fargo? I've always thought the first game will have to be in the playoffs and it's UNDs job to get there.

What do you base Bubbas "market value" on?
