Not UND's deal. Stop trying to drag them into it. Its Gene and Craig's mess and we are seeing exactly how they would deal with it.

Two things: This wasn't UND hockey players and UND has nothing to do with this conversation. Don't even try to bring them up because UND has nothing to do with this mess. I also want to make sure I understand your thought process on this. These young men signed up for this responsibility to collect signitures voluntarily and if they would have done the job properly they would have gotten paid for their hard work and the fine job that they did. This money would have been theirs to spend however they choose to because they earned it. But since they didn't take the time to understand the job they needed to do in order to get paid, it is someone else's fault and someone else should suffer the consequences of thier actions? So my question is- how old are these kids and what exactly are they going to do when they get into the real world? Some of them are a year or two away from graduation and I know my company sure as !@#$ wouldn't hire someone who wants to get paid for the job they do and wants a pat on the back when the job goes good but is quick to point the finger when !@#$ hits the fan. And you sir aren't much better for thinking that is ok and making excuses for them.

Tough break. It will be interesting to hear the entire story.

Ticket sales seem to be going ok for the game. Ticket master shows open seats in the corners sections and 2 of the sections on about the 10 have availability. Other than that it is fairly spotty throughout. Another strong student turnout would be outstanding and hopefully being Potato Bowl will give ticket sales another boost this week for what is going to be a fun game to watch.

Was anyone else kind of surprised that SUU only scored 3 against Utah St.? I wasn't expecting a win but thought they'd put up a few more points.

Last nights game was the absolute best I have seen the student section at a UND game in nearly 10 years. They need to be praised for showing up and they need to hear the message that next week, a loud Alerus Center could be the difference. Last night they were startng their own chants, banging on chair backs, heckling the opposig team....doing what needs to be brought back to the Alerus. The rest of the fans need to get the same message. Last night played out how I wanted, big plays to start the game, some big hits and an absolute blowout. Everyone left with the feeling we have a pretty good football team in Grand Forks. Hopefully the other side of the field shows up next week and supports the team. Already 2 starters short on offense, we need all the help we can get. Portland St. is a good football team and this game is going to be a very good benchmark on where we are at as a program. As stated many times already, this game is a must win to get to the 7 win mark, we have to win at home. The point I wanted to make though is hopefully the coaches, players, local media and local fans let the students know how much they appreciated the support and how much they will affect the atmosphere next week in Grand Forks. I personally can't wait for the game.

Well thought out post with breaking information we were not aware of.

Plus the students who were sitting in empy season ticket seats in 214 and in the endzones. We showed up to our season tickets and there were students in our seats and the seats of others around us. The ones who stayed said the student section tickets were all gone so they gave them tickets in the endzone areas and they wanted to move down. More than 3 sections worth.

If you want to move all the coaches offices to the Alerus along with sports medicine and academic center and an updating training facility I'm sure you could spend 40 million. Good thing the IPC is only going to cost $19 million.

Mr. Positive speaks again. I guess we'll find out in a few hours.

Tailgate Village does not open for another hour. Dont let it ruin your day.

Thanks for the service Teeder

Was he looking at the right schedule and roster? According to Fargo media, coaches and fans it is easy to get the two schools confused.

In my neighborhood all dish locations are street side on the side of the house which would be right above my family room. I thnk it would look like !@#$. Also, I prefer to have bundled internet, cable and phone. I'm waiting for Midco. When they were installing thier system into Moorhead in 2010, I believe I remeber hearing 2013 as their target date for Fargo. I haven't had anyone come knockig on my door yet asking for backyard easment but I still have my fingers crossed.

I'd love to but I don't like the look of a dish on my house.

Here is hoping to some big plays in the first half tonight. I'm expecting us to lose some students at halftime but as someone mentioned earlier, if we play an entertaining brand of football, they will be back when a better opponent comes to town (i.e- next week). I don't want to see a replay of last season running the ball every down vs. Drake. Get up big at half and have the outcome be what the fans are expecting. Big plays on offense, big hits on defense. That is my expectation for tonight.

When a fan of an established FCS team who has played a D2 the last 3 years comes on a board and starts questioning why a team that is just through the transition is playing the same game, it is going to get some comments. Sorry you don't agree on that one Dan.

Its a lot more difficult to write a check to a competitor than it is to write a check to the REA. If anyone thinks CableOne is going to do what is best for their customers I think you are mistaken. What other option do people in Fargo have if they do not want a dish hanging off their house? As a CableOne customer I sent an e-mail to them a week ago asking about the availabliltiy of watching games on TV and have still recieved no response. I wasn't expecting the minutes of the last meeting but a "negotiations are still in progress" would have worked. There are many people in Fargo that will gladly let Midco punch holes in their yard to get another option for a cable provider and this is a classic reason why. I'm not so quick to put all the blame on Midco.

Phase 1 is $13.8 million. If we do not have the funds we are very close. I'm almost certain there was more money there than what was announced today. Faison stated on KFGO today that they were waiting on approval and may tear down the old Ralph soon. Second phase of the project was $6 million.

I'm all for wearing the blacks. Its a new good look for the program.

This is outstanding news. This facility will be top notch for the area and huge for recruiting.

I don't want to get my hopes up again but seeing that, hearing Muss's comments during his online interview and reading all these tweets about big news while knowing we were fairly close to finally having the funds to proceed with this project. This would be an absolutely huge announcement to kick off the 2012 season.

Jason just tweeted again that "this isn't your average Wednesday." Something is going on today. Let's hope it builds more excitement for tomorrow.

I agree with Dan on this one. I'm not saying we have to have a roster full of them. I'm just suprised we only have one.

I'm suprised we only have one South Dakota player on the roster. That state has been good to us in the past. Hopefully we can change that going forward and readd a neighboring state to our recruiting grounds.
