andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!!

My understanding is that there were about 35 kids trying out for the one Jr. Gold team and the intentional was to keep about 25 of them. There should have been two High School teams this year.

Well, this has been a fun time. Go SIOUX/HAWKS/UND! Might have to think about getting my season tickets again.

Thanks for everything you do with this site. We appreciate it.

We are moving on in Soccer: https://fightinghawks.com/news/2024/11/25/womens-soccer-university-of-north-dakota-announces-change-in-soccer-leadership.aspx

That would seem to indicate that despite all the poor planning and long term decision making of late, especially regarding personnel, the people in charge at UND have learned nothing and are still not making an effort to be more on top of decision making.

You're overestimating how much anyone on here cares about Bubba's record next year at this point in time I suspect.

Well this is a completely disappointing first post in this new (or should I say old? as in same old same old...) thread for next season.

How can that possibly be squared with the (apparently) subsequent decision to extend him? It makes no sense.

Well it is late November and currently UND sits: Hockey: 5th out of 9 in the NCHC with a conference record of 2-2-0 and an overall record of 5-6-0. Football: 8th out of 11 in the MVFC with a conference record of 2-5 and an overall record of 5-6. Volleyball: 8th out of 9 in the Summit with a conference record of 2-13 and an overall record of 9-17. W Soccer: 8th out of 9 in the Summit with a conference record of 0-4-4 and an overall record of 4-8-6. W Softball: 6th of 7 in the Summit with a conference record of 6-12 and an overall record of 14-42. Basketball just got going.

The buyout issue is a prime example of how poor the long term decision making has been in the athletic department. Year after year after year of poor decisions.

Hate to leave early when we drive 3 hours to go to these games but man, this is tough.

I disagree. FCS to FBS is only a change for football (I fully realize there are ramifications in other sports such as the additional football scholarships that have to be offset). All other sports stay the same. D2 to FCS was a seismic change across the whole athletic department.

It would be nice to see UND leading on something related to athletics for a change. UND should be embarrassed with the way they have ceded the state of ND to NDSU. Its unacceptable in my opinion. The frustrations are numerous- from the inability to win in a variety of sports to the poor planning in the athletic department over the years to always being behind and on and on and on.

I do not eat at games for this reason.

These last two weeks are not good. This team has to be better.

I don't like the dome, but agreed, I do like the steeper inclined seats better than the Alerus.

I would love to see an FBS Summit all sports conference including football and hockey.

Is it possible to watch UND football on Midco Tv Everywhere (so that it can be streamed on a phone)?

Need to be prepared to win in Fargo. UND can get it done.

Thanks for the update. Should be interesting to see the final numbers.

Are we sure?

If they are going FBS, UND better get the announcement out first.

The long term implications of this decision are massive and it cannot be messed up as the choice was the last time UND faced this decision in the D2 days.

UND should be the first into the Mountain West and lead the way.

It sounds like it is going quite well. https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/local/und-alumni-foundation-reports-record-100-million-raised-in-2024-new-endowment-high
