Do we have a game this week or is it a buy week?
I am having more fun over at Sac State message board with all of their two consistently posting fans. Exciting!
-
Do we play NDSU in the sectional debate semi this Saturday?
Doesn't seem like Sac State message board thinks there's a game this weekend either, by the number of posts and posters.
-
Do I have specific knowledge of NDSU's numbers? No. But I do have a degree in marketing with a minor in sports business and experience working in a collegiate athletic department. I'm not just pulling numbers and theories out of my ass.
Well then you'd be the only one not doing that in your conversation.
No, the marketer's dream happened in Dallas last January. NDSU ticket sales are higher and donations stronger than they ever were when the rivalry was on-going.
NDSU v UND is one game out of 11. NDSU is looking for more than that.
That's a good strategy, too. But, sadly, kind of hard to do consistently year after year ( we at UND should know ). How about a true "marketing strategy" (not a a financial strategy -- two completely different things) that utilizes both playing your biggest -- by far -- OOC FCS rival and paving a path to the playoffs and an NC. They don't have to be mutually exclusive of each other. Best of all worlds!

Sooo..... anyone tired of pounding their head into a brick wall expecting a logical response?
Me.

You'd think that if there was a will there's a way, right? I mean, on years when UND would host the big rivalry game the Alerus Center would be packed to the gills (13,500 with SRO), and this would still happen if ticket prices would be doubled for even the "nosebleed" seats and incrementally even more so for the better seats. Season ticket holders, I am sure, would gladly pay more if they knew the reason was to accommodate the Granddaddy of all rivalry games in the Dakotas. All this not to mention huge concession sales and other fund-raising opportunities based on the "Nickel War." With all that, I am sure that cooler heads could work out a profit sharing agreement, based on all the extra revenue, to help compensate NDSU for all that lost revenue they would incur from busing their players 75 miles up I-29.

You did that analysis based on what? You're simply not privy to sufficient information to draw any conclusions about NDSU's marketing strategy. All I know is what they're doing is working. Why would they change it?
I don't disagree with you about not having enough information, and we can quibble all day long about what we do and don't know, but seriously, what the hell does a school's "marketing strategy" have to do with anything? Bottom lines are bottom lines (and yes we are not privy to the info) irrespective of market strategies. That just comes across as a red herring assertion that has little to do with hard number crunching and what will make more money for a host team.

Does Bison06 seem to constantly act like he is saying goodbye but he never goes away. He continually comes on here and is put in his place by UND fans and yet he continues tio take the punishment. He is persistant.
He's actually not that bad. I just get a little tired of the feigned incredulous tone from folks from other teams who venture on her and who are always so "astonished" that we are very optimistic of our teams and our future and that we poo poo the motives and perceived successes of other teams. I mean, for crying out loud, it's a UND message board and we especially despise the Bison, Gophers, Badgers and BC Eagles. The feelings are mutual. What do you expect? We didn't start the fire! But we will continue to keep it stoked.
-
Faison got involved when no one was charged with anything? Lots more to come. That's one hell of a suspension against the worst team in DI hockey. WOW.
OK. What series should Hakstol and Faison have waited for to impose the suspensions that would have been better than the first regular season (non-exhibition) game of the season? Just curious.
-
And I was thinking that it has nothing to do with the quality of the teams. Just repeated a-holes moves followed by disassocaition was my theory. Last time I checked ndsu was not ducking anyone is fcs, let alone teams outside the top 30.
I thought polls were "meaningless," made up of rankings submitted by lackey team water boys who know nothing about the total FCS landscape?

Quality, Character win for the UND Ladies against what seemed to be a very defensively sound Weber State team!

About Thomas Blake: Not much of a recruiting profile in basketball, but has one in soccer.... looks like a well-rounded athlete with mega school smarts.

Edit:
UND info says Blake is enrolled and majoring in General Studies this semester.

Two things: 2012-2013 roster is posted. And who the heck is Thomas Blake, 6'2" freshman guard from Haggerstown, Md. He's on the roster.

Cut the crap they lost two or three good players from last year and a couple role players. They're more athletic this year and have been in position to make plays but have missed tackles. The secondary played their best game of the year against SDSU, only one blown coverage and most catches were contested, they now need to do a better job of breaking up those contested passes and getting a pick or two. They're better than they've been playing. Also with the youth at certain positions they will improve every game.
With their best CB back home in Grand Forks.

What did you pay for the Mines game?
About $20,000 (use of the Alerus Center per contract between city and UND)
-
After this post, I'm done with UND vs. Aztecs and the coulda, woulda, shouldas. But I can't help but think what might have been if three simple things would have went UND's way: 1) Hendrickson throws a completion or an incompletion on first play from scrimmage instead of a pick 6. 2) Chavon Mackey blocks the punt or misses it completely instead of being penalized for running into kicker and giving SDSU fresh set of downs. 3) Hardin makes the routine catch for a fourth TD instead of dropping it.
Despite the poor tackling, lackluster running game and blown assigments by DBs, those three plays were complete back breakers.

loud party is a class-b misdemeanor, which according to this board is grounds for getting kicked off the team, as well as the death penalty.
You only think that way if you're an NDSU fan, or at the very least, a "double agent." (;

Official fall enrollment is in at UND
15,260 (563 students more than last fall's record official enrollment, or 3.8 percent higher).
I am sure we will see more about this later today or tomorrow.
EDIT:
Make that 15,250

If he comes out in Dec as the leader after the conference play then it can be talked about, sorry to say but your going to see tougher d as the season wears on, it's way to early for anyone to proclaim being the best.
He is a stud though no doubt, is he an Illinois kid?
Nebraska.

Daryl Brown, und's best CB, stayed back with injury.

I've experienced the wrath of UND fans. It's ugly.
Poor baby. ):
-
This thread speaks for itself. It's UND fans who are fixated on North Dakota State Football. I can remember this same attitude from the beginnings of the Bison dynasty in the 60s. Jealousy is the emotion that drives it.
For the umpteenth time: it's Schadenfreude (look it up) not jealousy. Why can't you guys get it through your dunderheads? Oh yeah, don't answer that. (:
-
At least the news media has the right schools and cities unlike certain sports assocs.
In my best Lee Corso impersonation: "Not so fast, folks! UND University Relations just got a call from BBC America (based in Washington DC), asking about the bomb threat on campus. Is it really that hard, people, to keep this stuff straight?

Do you mean when he said "Look at that little monkey run" or something similar to that? Not exactly the same thing. Howard was talking about a specific player, who was black. He had used the term before on the air without getting into trouble. Knuckle dragging is associated most closely with people of low intelligence who are crude and depend on physical intimidation. The term isn't associated with a person of color. The way it was used was referring to the TEAM, not to a specific person. The team has a mix of different races. Therefore it would be hard to use the term in a racist way since he was talking about the TEAM made up of different races, not an individual of a specific color. But way to go, trying to take the conversation down to a new low by injecting the race card.
As in Neanderthal-like, lower on the evolutionary scale and inferior intelligence = hence "knuckle dragging." Wow! I can't believe we constantly have to expain this stuff to these interlopers from down south.
