Per Mike Mannausau's tweet: New turf has arrived at the Alerus!

Wow.... just wow!

I like the moves that Midco is making of late. It reminds me of the old "MSC" (now FSN) back in its infancy. If Midco takes the same trajectory (albeit on a bit smaller scale, as we don't have a huge anchor market like the Twin Cities), it could be a very powerful media force in the Dakotas and whatever other markets it eventually conquers. It's huge that UND is becoming a major part of Midco so early. The upside and potential for growth is incredible. Right now the Midco empire spans a lot of North and South Dakota, except for an island that Cable One clings to in Fargo (but not West Fargo, which has Midco), various markets in western Minnesota and smatterings beyond. I think Midco is poised to conquer more ground, taking UND along for the ride!

I think we get too used to folks coming on here just to stir things up and get the hive buzzing that we lose sight that there are some opposing fans (in-conferene and otherwise) who want an honest, collegial debate. Lakes and the ilk do you know favors, as I am sure there are some in our camp who invade BV and Kolpack/Izzo's forum to sir the pot.

Let's leave Bison06 alone on this one. It was an honest oversight and it happens.

Frank White is the man!

Amen. Well put.

I liked Grand Forks 20 years ago and I like Grand Forks now and I imagine that I will still love it in 20 years. It's the perfect size for me. Not too big and not too small. It's got everything I could need and want. This whole idea that we have to keep growing to keep up with Fargo, Bismarck, Sioux Falls, etc. is misguided. A slow growth rate is a lot better than the growing pains that come with boom cycles and it's a lot better than the alternative of regression. I think some people have a hard time grasping that there are lots of us who love it here, and that we don't have any envy for others in the region who right now are "booming."

Stud!

I was about to ask the same thing? Is this where we start the p!$$ing contest by extrapolating imaginary win-loss comparisons for non-common opponents from higher divisions? Thanks, but no thanks; I'll just go beat my head against the wall. More productive.

The "Big West" -- sounds intriguing, to say the least!

Nothing new on Schobert, but stumbled across a couple of posts over on BadgerNation, one of them from someone who watched Joe play in H.S. and seems to vouch for his athleticism. The poster wonders if Bucky game him any PWO consideration or if that still might be in the offing. http://mbd.scout.com...=2561&t=9151372

Schobert and Javen Butler COULD be a hell of a safety tandem in a couple years.

Very interesting.... I like where you're going with that. He certainly sounds like he has the speed, and at 6-2, the height is much needed.

Even if Schobert slips through our fingers, I still love our LB corps of the future. Labat, Jared Tuilagi, J.D. Allen, Taj Rich -- all appear to be the real deal and underrated recruits, at least on the national scene. Now throw Schobert in there and LOOK OUT!

I plead ignorance here.... was Comes on any kind of a scholly -- partial or otherwise? Does that free up money to leverage more for Schoberg?

And Ryan Bartles... for some reason he's my sleeper for the future. Gotta hunch, that's it. Him and Mollberg should have some classic battles for starts. We shall see.

PCM again with another doozy!

The opening of Metallica's "For whom the bell Tolls" always gets me ready for some old time UND hockey!

It's actually not that bad.... lots of good stuff from UND athletes having fun. Take it for what it's meant to be, I guess. Just plain fun.

Nice report! Thanks. Not to be a Debbie Downer, but, did they sneak in some free throw practice while they were at it.

All I can say is: get him on campus quick! Wow! I am excited for this year to start. (understatement of the year)

Don't know about now.... but I saw Webb, Huff, Antwi and another one (can't remember) hanging out together at Wilkerson Hall in early June. Might have been involved in the youth bb camps at the time.

It happens a lot in academia. You may remember the School of Communication at UND went the other way a few years back; it's now the Communication Department -- and deservedly so. But, in the case of engineering at UND, the change was brought on by the rapid growth of the specific department and the school as a whole when it came to enrollment, academic offerings and new administrative units. Really, the new names are a better and truer reflection of what the divisions really are now compared to the past. Times change; you can never go home again. Deal with it.

Should be a hot and muggy Fourth! Enjoy the parade but drink plenty of water. Ho hum.
