I like this video even if it has no UND folks in it. The title is good too -- "powerhouse North Dakota" Kinda got a ring to it.

Great video with glimpses of veteran and new players (Huff, Nash, Hooker, Hobaugh, Calcatera, etc.) preparing for the grueling season ahead.

UND up 2 sets to 0 against Mont. State in Bozeman in first conference match of the year. Set 1 25-12, Set 2 25-22. MSU was picked to finish 8th in league, UND was picked for fourth.
I don't know what this has to do with the thread topic, but actually, no, Dan, the College of Education is the 7th largest college/school at UND, ahead of only Law and the medical school. Again, I don't know what it proves, but there it is.
Heard the football coaches might soon be personally delivering season-tix packages to consumers (within 30 minutes or less or you get them free). All you fans outside of Grand Forks County should pony up!
Edit* It must be a local promotion (as in within a certain proximity of GF). If I hear more, I will post.
Does this pick up suggest one of our bigs won't be back?
Edit** Just saw Tom Miller's story on this, and there was no mention of anyone leaving the team. Whew! Plus, it looks like we will be loaded with bigs, with Wall, Evers, Roscoe and O'Toole (all 6-3 or taller).
Frank-talking chef Anthony Bourdain had a great tweet today along the lines of: "Can't wait to see Biebs opening up for MENUDO at the county fair in about 10 years!"
That is big! UND's recruiting edge with that dude, over the others who've offered, is that he'd have a chance to play closer to home a lot more times with us.
Something special? If my calculations of your age are accurate... you grew up in the Rocky and Bobby B. coaching years. Not much special about those halcyon days of yesteryear at Moo U, IMHO.
I'll give you that. I can appreciate your new-found giddiness and zeal for your beloved NDSU. This winning stuff is all pretty new to you. When you were growing up -- outside of women's basketball -- you didn't see much for Nattys. Those musta been some pretty lean years to love the hometown team.
Uh, fun fact, it was 22 years since NDSU won a championship in football before 2012. So what is your point? See how this works? Everyone has their talking points, perspectives and stats, and we could go on on like this all day and night.
True, programs do make runs from time to time. I guess that would be like me saying to you after UND won the national championship in 2000, its second in 3 years, "Didn't Saddam Hussein invade Kuwait the last time NDSU won anything?" What comes around goes around, I guess. Difference is I have the years and perspective to realize that, and know that the king of the hill today sits on a precarious throne. I just don't pompously and naively go around strutting around like a peacock in the neighbor's yard and expect not to be teased.
